Cash: entertainment, with the possibility of Whippets.

You know, I’ve got to admit, right at the moment … ?

Right at the moment, I’m watching the BBC’s film version of Rupert Goold’s cut of MacBe

MacB …

The Scottish play, in other words: I’ll a little superstitious about naming it.

Beautiful thing to be distracted by, given that Patrick Stewart’s in the title role.

Remind me to tell you about it, sometime …

At any rate, I actually meant to tell you about the movie Movie Night Adrian and I watched, last night.

The problem with that … ?

Is that we ended up nattering happily about all sorts of things.

After we found that the movie we’d been planning to watch, the Christopher Nolan directed Inception, was a damp squib.

I think me and Adrian both decided — after some 17 minutes — that we’d rather do anything else.

Wrestling alligators could’ve been interesting, but Adrian, bless ’im, is coming down with a case of flu.

At any rate, I do know that he, Kevin, and I all got together with a DVD copy of the 2010 independent crime thriller, Ca$h on Thursday night.

And I’m thinking we all agreed it was money well spent.

Hang on, back in a sec, the Wyrd Sisters are back on …

Whoops, sorry, it’s the big banqueting scene …

Amazing what you can down with East European comedy records and half a dozen Shakespearean actors …

Let’s move on to the matter at hand, shall we … ?

Ca$h sees Sean Bean as Pyke Kubic, who’s looking for the fruit of a bank heist originally stolen by his identical twin brother.

And that’s landed up with happily married — but unemployed — couple, Sam and Leslie Phelan: played by Chris Hemsworth and Victoria Profeta.

Pyke … ?

Wants the money back.

And goes about it in a very reasonable way.

Ahem

Now …

I think I’m going to leave this post here: after all, Patrick Stewart is just warming up.

But speaking of the films I’ve had the chance to see over the past few days … ?

Given the choice of the big budget — and seemingly badly plotted, going by what we saw — Inception, or Ca$h, the little indie movie made with Inception’s tea club money … ?

I’d go for the bone dry humour of Ca$h, any day … !

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
