British film world is so freakin' incestuous.
Jeebus Margie and Jeremy, it is. And eventually all of them will have appeared in an HP film. I'm convinced of it.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

There's a hysterical sketch with Thompson and Fry as Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
It's up on YouTube, and it's really, really funny. I should try finding the link.

I'm confused, not necessarily with what Raq is saying, but in general. Do people still claim that Deckard isn't a replicant since the last director's cut?
It never even occured to me that Deckard was a replicant until I heard Scott talking about it. For a long time I kinda blew that off, because it didn't make any sense to me, particularly how adding in the image of a unicoran was supposed to indicate that he was, in fact, a replicant. I have since started to see the light, both in the book and in the film. But only because of how emotionless Deckard is, not because of the unicorn.

It wasn't the unicorn itself, it was the oragami unicorn that Gaff left for Deckard that was the indicator (i.e. Gaff knows Deckard's dreams because he knows Deckard is a replicant). Without the dream the oragami is just another random one Gaff made and left to show Deckard he was there.

I've seen it on You Tube, and just fell apart laughing. Definitely worth a search. Which I will attempt.
I remember Tony Slattery from the British Whose Line is it, Anyway? He was wonderful! As was John Sessions, whom I almost didn't recognise in The Good Shepherd.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, Harrison Ford said for years that Deckard wasn't a replicant, even though Ridley Scott said yes he was. (And according to the Wired article, Ford hasn't so much changed his mind as given up arguing about it.) So it's ambiguous on a pretty fundamental level from the start.

Oh, Cambridge Footlights! I brought that DVD to the SF F2F, but we never got around to watching it.
