The Reverse Bechdel test?

What has two cast members from Sherlock, one from Being Human, one from Dr Who, and *ARTHUR* in it, and makes both the MIB and Mark Kermode agree with me? There was no-one I recognised from Misfits though - which was a surprise - perhaps their recruiting did not get as far as E4>

It's on my list, when and if I ever have time.

It's a fun film, but it will be out on DVD soon enough, and I don't think you will miss much bynot seeing it on the big screen.

Yes, the cast would get me there by itself and I like a nice predictable sports movie when it's well done *g* Any hope of femslash subtext? Whether I can get anyone to go with me I don't know but I'll certainly try - the lack of space battles may be in its favour here!

I've been hypnotised by Wimbledon like a sunbeamed cat *g* I just turned it on and four hours later found myself returning to consciousness muttering 'deuce' a lot. It's just so...tidy

I got my escaping disc - thank you! It can have a week in solitary to think about what it's done and then I hope the other discs make it a little meal for it's return to the box *g*

I could see the subtext, so I think you will too :-) We know what a chess match is a metaphor for - well maybe a running race could be too ♥

I don't think this counts as a spoiler - more proof that I have been reading too much Norse fanfic - but my theory that Rupert Graves' character could be the father of both main protagonists did not seem to be confirmed ;-(

I think J & K would enjoy it too no space battles and no gore, but plenty of rather sharp conversations and some feel good music :-)

Sorry the disc took so long - but I did get a round tuit in the end, so I'm glad it made it safely and I hope it enjoys its peaches!
