Susan<br><br>Thanks for the news. I've added it to my POP Film page at <a href=http://www.btinternet.com/~lawrence.edwards/tallships/pob/pobfilm.htm...
I agree about Crowe.<br>My choice would be Colin Firth. When I was watching Bridget Jone's Diary I kept thinking he looked like my mental image of Capt. ...
The O'Brian movie will be filmed in Rosarita, Mexico. If you'd like a bit part, (especially if you have sailing know-how), send info about your age, height, ...
Not to top it the thespian, but I believe I am a natural for the lead. After all, I have plenty of old port with the long cork and yellow seal. I also have ...

Why is nobody lining up here to portray the sallow, ill-favored, twice-turned, often-wet Stephen?<br>Would you have to bring your own watch (and sweet oil)?...
Would it be that we are unwilling to endure years of disappointment and ill-treatment from the fair sex, at all? As to appearances, handsome is in the eye of...

I tried the e-mail thing and have sent in a hard copy of photos and bio and such, but haven't heard anything at all. Anybody else try and hear anything...
Do I hear right that Heath Ledger from "A Knight's Tale" will play the Doctor?? If so, I am pessimistic about the fidelity of the movie -- I could see Kevin...
Nooo, I don't think so. Ledger was under consideration to play Jack Aubrey, but there was some bad publicity about some fake publicity, and Russell Crowe, star...
Russell Crowe, huh? Well, that should certainly give the movie some box office draw, which means it is going to be profitable, which makes a sequel more ...
Here's a great link for more info about the movie, including a sketch of Crowe as Aubrey: mind - it may wrap around - you'll have to get the whole url into the...
I'm glad you like it. I sort of figured you didn't join this group just to see my ads for "The Port-Wine Sea" (which is still available through your trusty...
Great site, what a booklist!<br><br>And I see they have "Dr. Dogbody's Leg". I can't tell you how hard I laughed reading it. This is a character I'd dearly...
I am much relieved to hear that Ledger ain't quite the thing -- Bettany is more to my way of thinking, although I should yet prefer Spacey. By the by, whilst...
