My mother got bored with it so I spent my pocket money going to see it by myself every afternoon for a whole week at the Phoenix Cinema in Oxford. Still love it, and totally GUTTED it's not available on DVD. Who can we lobby??<br />Haven't succumbed to NCIS yet but I totally get the Mark Harmon thing - I used to love him in St Elsewhere. A proto-Clooney.

It was my favourite film when I was little (that and The Belstone Fox; I clearly had goulish taste). I was taken to see it in the old cinema at Marble Arch when it still had one enormous screen and there was an interval and the lady would come to the front with her tray and sell you plastic containers of Kia Ora, and I was so damn competitive I made my mother let me sit on the aisle so I could RUN the moment the lights went down and so always be first in the queue. No wonder they sent me away to boarding school.<br /><br />My guilty pleasures include: The Way We Were, Rich and Famous (Candice Bergen and heavenly Jacqueline Bisset being a neurotic writer and smoking too much, wonder why I identify with that character) and box set after box set of NCIS, because I have a big fat crush on Mark Harmon.<br /><br />Really please don't tell anyone I just said that.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352411146204226127.post-6066118918049075222009-06-14T05:18:26.495+01:002009-06-14T05:18:26.495+01:00i MUSt see the Super Sweet 16, sounds great.

If my family/friends/husband nominated me to appear on one of those makeover shows, I can't decide whether I'd revel in the fabulousness of the new prinked preened me, or whether I'd be GUTTED that they thought I looked like an old tramp to begin with (although Mr F invariably says, every time I wear a dress, "Oh goody! You're not dressed like a teenage boy!"). Are you enjoying Hilary Mantel? Can't remember which of her main characters she freely admits to developing a crush on while writing the novel.

What Not To Wear, in which our two hosts surprise some poor soul whose loving (?) family has nominated her to be overhauled (clothes, hair, makeup) by the hosts. Tears are almost always involved, self-esteem issues nearly always resolved.<br /><br />2. Say Yes to the Dress, in which we see brides, bridezillas, wannabe brides, and mothers of the bride purchasing wedding gowns at a salon in New York. Unintentionally hilarious.<br /><br />Coincidence: I just started reading A Place of Greater Safety.Aparatchicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352411146204226127.post-20764034013701104602009-05-28T23:05:17.544+01:002009-05-28T23:05:17.544+01:00So Lovely - DUDE.

Anybody famous and disgusting? <br />I left out all the films that are less guilty, like "Matter of life & Death", "Grosse pointe blank" and "Almost Famous" which I watch far too often. You get points for being high brow, although I bet I trump you with "Tampopo"...<br /><br />Nora - Subtitles essential with The Wire (not guilty! cool!).

I love reality TV as its really the only place that I don't have to bump into actors that I have worked with and don't particularly like.<br />My favourite film of all time is Auntie Mame - have almost worn the DVD out. As you can see I have very high brow taste.So Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090206663800207951noreply@blogger.com
