The book is brilliant and definitely a recommendation.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself.
Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

I have seen the trailers, but never heard of the book, so I guess I have also been living under a rock.

Sorry, but I don't follow you here. Are you saying Harrison Ford is a bad actor or just that you don't think he fits the role as you know it?

I guess you get a mental picture of the characters when you read a book, and Harrison Ford just doesn't fit my picture of Colonel Graff. A large version of Harvey Keitel would have been a better fit.
Ben Kingsley as Mazer Rackham sounds like the perfect cast to me though.

Ben Kingsley as anyone is perfect casting.
I'd bet he'd do "pregnant woman" better than 99.9% of actresses.

its unfair and completely untrue
however if you had said American Actresses then you would have been correct.
I have come to the conclusion that The british have actors and the Americans have film stars
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

He did a great job in the movie, indeed - I think his appearance is one of the best parts of the movie.
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluebeat,
And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.

Was scouring the net for the cheapest source of our bubbly of choice to stock up for Crimbo and New Year.
Found the cheapest place, but had to go and take the kids to their skiing lesson. Left the browser open etc. When I came back there was a popup saying enter your email address to receive a promocode for 10% off. So I did. So this code was CL10, and beats their other codes, there new customer code was NEWCUST15 giving £15 off first order, there is also a new customer code in the the signup email WELC10 for £10 off first order over £80, and there was another £15 off code CL15 which was just a random one I tried! Now as per usual, you can only enter 1 code. So glad I got sidetracked. The cheapest site, just became even cheaper!
Anyway, Their deals on bubbly + the code + free delivery == quite a saving!
Normally the bottles of LPR retail for ~60, I paid ~36 and that is the cheapest I have managed to find them for for a number of years. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
In case you are wondering where, it was winehound.co.uk

At that price SWMBO may suggest we stick to the Cava.

I checked and my supplier is 20% dearer for LPR, but 30% cheaper for the widow; what we drink.

Think I must have eaten something bad on Friday as I felt quite ill late in the evening. Anyway, was supposed to be playing golf in the morning so went to bed and hoped I'd feel better. I didn't but I went anyway feeling that a bit of fresh air and sunshine would help.
As we walked up to the first tee I felt a bit odd. Then I was very, very sick all over the back of the tee. Maybe toast and marmalade for breakfast wasn't the brightest idea I've had.
Still, as I was hurling my guts up I could hear my partner say "Let me take a picture!" I felt sure the bastard wanted to immortalize my vomit on the web. No, not at all. He was taking a picture of the group behind us who were all tactfully ignoring my sickness. One of them did say "Is your friend okay?" and my pal said "Oh, he'll be fine!" How the elephant would he know? Barf.
Finally, I felt purged and boy did I feel great. Best round of golf I've had for ages. I'm sure there can be no correlation between being sick and having a great round. Positive...
