Obviously modest forbade me from making such a suggestion for the lead role, ie me.

But if one of the cast is coming up with intelligent and appropriate casting suggestions then I must take them on board.

You'll find me a director who takes notice of the 'talent'.


I'll get my people to contact his.

Hmm PG. I'm sure it's not your intention, but the cinema going public might think this was one of those 'specialist' films. You know the sort of thing one used to go and see in Soho cinemas in one's youth.

Usually had a supporting csrtoon. Usually Fritz The Cat.


I like the use of the modern vernacular though. The man losing his wallet was being 'flakey', wasn't he?

We might wring a few quid out of some gullible teenagers.

Keep this up PG and an assistant associate executive producer's role could be yours.

why spadetownboy you charmer you,




but isn't that the new film "In Bruges" ?


In Bruges - Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson


but back on topic (even tho it's in The Lounge) fair play to wallet. Being "upstanding citizens" isn't a Bad Thing, STB

Lady MacGabhann has "lost" her wallet/purse on more than one occassion - upstanding citizens have been very helpful to her

Sorry to say Giggi but Clooney's turned out To be something of a broken reed.

He was sent an outline of the script and offered the lead part, ie me.

Things seemed to be progressing nicely until we started talking costume and character.

Clooney's people said he would not consider wearing a bald wig and putting on four stone for the part. Furthermore he would not be shown on screen sitting round the house in a bath robe that made him look like a badly wrapped bag of chips.

I begged them to consider the 'method'. What of Stanislavsky? I entreated, but to no avail.

If only dear Roy Kinnear were still with us, I'm sure he'd have jumped at the chance.


Anyway never say die, as we can see from above STB and SeanMG are mad keen on doing it.

    • Also endorse Niko! We had a mystery leak which he came round and identified as the dishwasher. After John Lewis came round and failed to install the new one due to a tricky door on the old integrated machine, Niko came back and had the new one cleanly installed and with the door on with no trouble at all. He was friendly, explained his process and transparent (and reasonable) on pricing. Hugely recommend him and will continue to use him when any issues crop up!
