ah! We nearly went to see it, but opted for Breaking and entering (fri), The departed (sat) and Borat (sunday). You can't say we don't like th'pictures!
Either that or you're vampires.
Or your telly's knackered.
In which case I've still got Saturday's Match of the Day on video if you missed it.
The Page Turner is recommended if you like restrained performances (not exactly Nicholson or Baron-Cohen)
I'm quite often found in the women's section of department stores - erm, I'll get my coat. You know, the one as modelled by Twiggy on the adverts?
Ah, I see what happened. He was downstairs in the Food Hall and came up the wrong escalator.
But it shouldn't take 3 hours to find your way out.
Is there a crowd of Irish priests in there as well?
John,
I finally saw the film last night and immediately thought about the Irish Priests during that sequence!
(that's Father Ted's Xmas Special, for those readers unacquainted with the peaks of 1990s TV comedy).
My explanation is: he saw her going in and followed her until he was visible to her, and by then they were in the womenswear section.
(or quite simply, he is a weirdo that spends all his afternoons in there. He does do kayaking after all, so he must be in serious need of a life).
Now, do you think she was the driver responsible for the hit and run that left Ariane "very frail"? The Other half swears she smirks when the husband tells her about the car crash, but I must have been blinking and I missed it.
BTW, both our tellies work fine, but we do like the movies an awful lot. And biting each other's necks actually, so maybe the vampires assumption isn't wrong (how very unBritish of me to disclose such intimate details!).
On friday I didn't feel like going home (so went to see Breaking and Entering), on Saturday the other half's housemate asked us to make ourselves scarce 'cause he had a laydee to entertain (no luck, in case you're wondering), and on Sunday I reckoned that being both avid Viz readers, we could have enjoyed Borat. And guess what? We did.
Hi Stef--
Thanks for that extremely informative comment. I actually haven't seen the film: You'll find that it was Martin who posted the original query, but it was most enjoyable to get your insights and to find out all those other details about you!!
Sorry to hear about the other half's housemate's disappointment. He would've probably had more fun at Borat. And possibly more luck, too!
Hi Stef
my theories are
a) she would have been too young to instigate the crash but would've read about (and possibly been insired by) it
b)the meeting with kayak-boy was pre-planned to make her patron jealous
c)don't go on the pull at the Borat movie.
Did you like the film btw?
We both liked the film a lot, even though I do understand when the paper says "ultimately unbelievable". It's the sort of revenge plan I used to roll out in my head when I was a lot younger, so it wasn't completely unbelievable.
I could probably identify a few more French films where these bland (wouldn't say Angelic) looking women turn out to be extremely cruel creatures in search of revenge... does anyone remember "La Cérémonie", with Isabelle Huppert? That's pretty freaky too.

Allegedly, the laydee in question had to wake up my boyfriend's housemate when he fell asleep on saturday night, and still nothing happened.
He must well have been exhausted judging by the size of the chicken casserole we found on the hob on sunday morning, in what we affectionately call "the twelve seater pot".
I do wonder why she woke him up if she -clearly- had no intention of going ahead with the proceedings and it was obvious that he was in no state to give her lift home. It must be some sort of new etiquette for the under 25 that I really do not need to know about.
Under 25 and he fell asleep on a Saturday night?!! Pathetic!
Had your housemate . . .how shall I put this . . . eaten or inhaled anything soporific during the evening?
well, he's my boyfriend's housemate, but I am absolutely sure the only intoxicating, erm I mean "possibly soporific" substance consumed during the evening was wine.
And maybe that girl's conversation, but I am not too sure as I only caught a glimpse of her... and she looked pretty plain. But then most English girls do when you're a 5'8" dark Italian heifer...
Good news - The little plain girl emerged from the boyfriend's housemate's bedroom this morning!
And indeed, he was the most cheerful I have seen him in ages, while he was ironing his work shirt.
I thought you'd just like to know. We can all sleep tonight.
