"a friend of mine desperately wants a pair of Angelina Jolie's panties"

I see LH ... and how long have you ... erm ... I mean your friend ... um ... felt this way?

For the best of D D Lewis check out Gangs of New york. He takes all the glamour out of gangsterism beautifully and gives you the full taste of an embittered glassy eyed (literally as well as figuratively) monster.

Truly vile, bawdy, tasteless and probably bad smelling.

Superb!

Though an easily forgotten role of his is that of Helena Bonham Carters suitor in "A room with a view". Only easily forgottten because that is the type of character he is played so the fact that he was so unmemorable is testament to his brilliance.

I've also seen him in a film about a travelling dentist in sout America, in which he sings a gaelic version of "she moved through thhe fair" in the bath.

Great stuff!
