    CC... I understand about RH... I love it too! In the late 80s when I lived in Auckland, they had a regular Rocky Horror night and you went as your character and watched the movie on a big screen. Amazing party really, with a bunch of complete strangers!
    (The end of the movie always lets it down, I think...)

    Zen, I agree, Lance's few lines are the best part of the movie (although it does have many out-loud-guffaw moments). Lance's lines are so memorable I actually remember them

    Lance wonders why LeFleur is going to quit, and lists how he thought about it once when he was diagnosed with all his cancers but how with love and support of family/friends, he started riding again & won the Tour five times.
    Then he says
    "But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?"

    Then Le Fleur says something like - it feels a bit like... shame.
    and Lance replies... (the best bit of the movie)

    Lance Armstrong:
    "Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life. Well good luck to you Peter. I'm sure this decision won't haunt you forever."


    Oh, Jenn - I really really liked the Fastest indian... (not just because it was about a New Zealander). It was a lovely, gentle movie, and it captures much of that time in this country, and the "anyone can do it attitude" - all you need is a piece of number 8 wire, and you can solve any problem
    I watch Anthony Hopkins, and his neighbours and am reminded of my Poppa, and my childhood and pics of my father as a child.

    Last week I watched V for Vendettta - one of those comic books turned movies I think... and it was surprisingly good, well filmed, well scripted and worth it. A nice surprise.

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
