Poor lovable Sebastian apparently is not interesting enough to the new filmmakers. Too bad... I was looking forward to a "Brokeback" for the upper crust set. Damn!

On the other hand, I think BR could stand up against North and South (our equivalent in the US) any day. --KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601528600962393020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751933.post-1123252711901877322005-08-05T07:38:00.000-07:002005-08-05T07:38:00.000-07:00BLASPHEMY - How on earth could you fall into a com...BLASPHEMY - How on earth could you fall into a coma watching the original Brideshead? Sure maybe the pace slows to crawl towards the end but this is an intentional contrast to the previous excesses and is meant to represent the family's inevitable delcine. Maybe its a generation thing. I was 12 years old in 1981 and me and the rest of the world had never seem anything like it - true it wouldn't have the same impact now, but lets face it can you name a TV series you've seen in the last ten years people are still talking about? Me neither.<BR/><BR/>John Hird<BR/>Manchester, EnglandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751933.post-1100245592208399922004-11-11T23:46:00.000-08:002004-11-11T23:46:00.000-08:00How well you know me.
