Three comments -<br>1. I have placed a review on iTunes (even though the T Shirt deadline has passed - such selflessness!)<br>2. I think 40 mins should generally be the maximum length. I love your witty and incite full film reviews and film related discussions (even when I disagree - see 3.) but sometimes I think "For the love of (insert appropriate deity here) - stop waffling and get back to the film!" <br>3. OK - I'm willing to accept that M. 'Night to Remember' Shalamar is misunderstood, that The Village is underrated and that The Lady in the Water has some redeeming features. But (and it's a big but) how you can think The Happening is anything other than terrible amazes me. Hard to know where to begin but easy to know where to end - the script! The plot is so bad and the dialogue so ludicrous that this has to be the worst script for a major film that I have seen in a long time. And Gareth - putting in a load of sub Hitchcock references doesn't make it Hitchcock. To say if this is no good then neither is Psycho or The Birds makes no logical sense at all (though I think an "is Hitchcock as good as everybody thinks" discussion would be interesting). <br>- Still love the show though!
