This is what they have given her to ride in the new film:

Absolutely 'on-trend' as they say, given the massive interest in caff-racerising 70s Hondas lately. (btw, you'll see a bike in the picture if you stop staring at the girl ;))
And on Youtube there's film of the actress being taught how to ride it so she does do at least some of the riding shots.

Started Reading the book last night. I think I am going to enjoy it. Mart

Worth reading all three, I watched the Swedish made films and they have the lip synch on the English translated ones all wrong so if you head that way stick woith the Swedish and the subtitles.
I hope the Hollywood version is as good.

I am completely at a loss as to why they would remake the thing so soon after the Swedish films, which were of mixed quality from excellent to good.
This new Lisbeth will have to go some - the swedish girl was a textbook borderline - perfect!!

Because of the feckin subtitles.
-
It was better with subtitles. Also means you have to concentrate on the film and what is being said.
Really.

Nothing wrong with subtitles... They didn't stop me bawling my eyes out at Life is Beautiful (3 times Oscar winner after all).
And don't even start me on what Hollywood did to Nikita. In French a taut, dramatic, funny and moving thriller. In (US) English, another run of the mill sanitised piece of crap. After all the French version gave us our introduction to Jean Reno as 'The Cleaner'.
'Amelie' in English? can you imagine anything worse?
Talking of crying at films, I wasn't crying on Boxing day when I watched the bit in 'Senna' where he has just won his home GP, passed out in the car, endured agonising muscle spasms and then called his dad over to give him a hug, oh no, it was just something in my eye ;)
Also got 'TT Closer to the Edge' for chrimbo (didn't everyone?) and enjoyed that enormously too.

GC you want a film that will reduce you to tears then try "the lives of others" a thriller set in the DDR with Martina Gedeck but it is the lead actor Ulrich Mühe who just steals the show. My misses, at least once year wants to rewatch it and she falls asleep and I sob my way through the last half an hour. It is for me the finest performance by any actor in any film I have seen!!
Unfortunately he died of cancer not long after the film was finished.
As for films bastardised by Hollywood try Mostly Martha another Gedeck film (yes I am a bit of a fan..what red blooded thinking male wouldn't be) Remade with Catherine Zeta Jones....enough said.
Speaking of subtitles anyone here a fan of Julio Medem's work, quirky but excellent, although his last one "A room in Rome" was a bit OTT

I'm more of a Wallace and Gromit fan myself. ;D
The Tiger Cub and Chair in A Close Shave was pretty good.
I think the chair could have looked a bit more like a Bambini though.
Mind the A35 van looks bloody good in A Matter of Loaf and Death.
Jethro ;D ;D

You so need to see a Room in Rome - it is very wallace and grommit. ::)

I will add it to my 'Love Film' list.

Not seen any. What titles should I look out for?
Cheers

'Room in Rome', where art and porn come together.
50/50 chance I might like it. ;D

GC,
Vacas, Lovers of the Artic Circle, The Red Squirrel, and Sex and Lucia.
He is Spanish..need I say more.
Steff

Some films are far better with subtitles, eg Das Boot (The proper full 2 disc mini series), although the dubbing was done by the actors, the English language version loses an awful lot of the impact.
-

As if having Pedro Almodóvar wasn't enough for 'em ;)
btw, I've got a new word for the English language: Shawshanked
Meaning: To start watching a long film on late night telly and being unable to stop watching it even though it's way past your bed time and you've got an early start. As in "Oh, I think I'll watch the first half hour of Shawshank Redemption before coming up to bed"
I've yet to find a word for films that you can watch again and again. Films like (for me): Dambusters, Amelie, Juno, The Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, A Matter of Life and Death, The Great Escape, Shawshank Redemption, It's a Wonderful Life, Blues Brothers, Blade Runner, On Any Sunday, Grosse Pointe Blank.

It just wouldn't be a decent war film without Germans shouting "Achtung", "Schnell" And "Dummkopf" ;)

Or the Japanese shouting AIEEEEEEEE!, oh, actually, hang on a minute, that's Commando comics isn't it?...

Perhaps we could collaborate on a new novel called "the girl with the dragon rally tattoo"?
Any thoughts on storyline?

I suggest we each write a short papragraph and then pass it onto the next contributor to add theirs. Let me begin.
"Patricia was surprised to find her beard on fire."
Cut, paste and add.

"Patricia was surprised to find her beard on fire."
"Maybe the camp stove was moved a little too higher."

"Patricia was surprised to find her beard on fire."
"Maybe the camp stove was moved a little too higher."
"Maybe not, it was her lower beard, her burning bush"
-

"Maybe not, it was her lower beard, her burning bush"
"She therefore stepped backwards and was surprised to find that another petrol stove had failed, flaring its flame upwards. "How I wish I had simply bought a nice and sensible meths stove" she thought to herself.
She knew that it all went back to that terrible night in Llanthony."

"She shuddered as the memories flooded back, the mud, the rain, the smell of damp waxed cotton and that strange, pungent smell that seemed to linger in the area of the old bloke with the weird sidecar outfit."

This is all fairly undechipherable to me, I'm guessing it has something to do with Llanthony but other than that it as all the hallmarks of an in-joke. Anyway I'm happy to join in:

She shuddered as the memories flooded back, the mud, the rain, the smell of damp waxed cotton and that strange, pungent smell that seemed to linger in the area of the old bloke with the weird sidecar outfit.
But what scared her the most was the realisation that she was also excited, her breathing quickened and she felt far too hot despite being almost naked under the too-tight black PVC Belstaff riding coat. She knew now that for all the horror of their previous meeting she had ever since nursed the dark secret that she craved his treatment, his smell, the hot sweet scent of Fishermans Friends and the dancing tingle of his beard on her bare neck...
I can go on like this for hours, but it's your turn now ;D

Never been to Llanthony either so any in joke there is lost on me, I shall continue to watch/read in the same way one feels obliged to watch a developing traffic accident on youtube... ;)

LOL, I know what you mean but you forgot to add "and then click on the adjoining link to another clip that promises to be even more lurid" ;)

They both blushed. "Don't worry" she said, "I was doing that for days after the last time we met". His blush deepened and there was an awkward silence. She couldn't stand it anymore, it had to be said. She turned to him and shouted it out, "whose idea was those bloody pickled eggs anyway?"

His reply was not to be expected, "lablulalabluhhhhblalbluuuh". He had lost the use of his tongue due the effects of the Chili Vokda.
