"Who do you think you are?" "Brian Clough."

I. Folks, Michael Sheen has done it again. ♥

I'm glad you liked The Damned United! I knew virtually nothing about the film or its subject going into it, but I'm so glad I took a chance and saw it. Michael Sheen certainly deserves to be recognized for his performance. He captured Clough's arrogance while still making him sympathetic.

I would have been hard pressed to dislike it, I think, but it was fabulous. I knew nothing about Clough, just present-day football, but it definitely impressed. To be honest, arrogance isn't necessarily a train I find unattractive but Clough had some down moments and, as you said, Sheen was expertly able to make him seem sympathetic still. I very much hope he gets recognized. :D

Admit it, maybe you are a little bias, right? ;) LOL, I tease! Neverthless, I hope to see this soon.

(He looks kind of airbrushed in that poster though. It's distracting?)

LOL, no, that is probably so true! I'll probably love him in anything he does. xD But it was a great film - you must see it soon!

(Oh good, I'm not the only one who noticed! I probably should have used the other poster.)

I will try to! I was thinking about buying my dad a copy for Christmas.

That's a good idea! It's not out on DVD here yet but the second it is, it will be in my possession!
