many years ago g & I went to see a film called "La Passionata", starring Ted from Hi de hi as the Italian grandfather of an ice-cream making family, who made a fortune on a new flavour ice cream & collected Ferraris.
Yes, it was absolutely awful, right down to Ted's Italian accent.
I was reminded of this tonight as we have been to see"Woman in Black", with Daniel Radcliffe - a nineteenth century spook movie, with every spooky trick in the book from automatons to rocking chairs, that work unaided.
The best line in the film came as the woman in black (scary ghost) ran towards him, howling.
A chap at the back shouted "Get your wand out, Harry".
The audience laughed at all of the scary bits - perhaps they were meant to.
Daniel R is, well, short.
He is comparatively normal, when playing a child, but definitely short, as an adult.
It's a very poor film, but do go & see it if you want a laugh.
Otherwise, we did paperwork this morning, I wrote Sunday's sermon, had a bowl of soup & then went to solihull, bought food for tomorrow night (6 for dinner) then picked up J & Th from school, fed & entertained them until P came home, then off for a night on the tiles.
Home by 9.00pm.
