'TFT' in the Real World

Went to see Hamlet 2 today.

You would think that doing a podcast would keep you anonymous – but lo and behold while ordering an espresso outside the cinema before the movie started a gentleman, (‘Joe’ pictured above on the left), recognized my voice.

“Hey, aren’t you Jett Loe?”

“Yes.”

“I love The Film Talk!”

Once I recovered from the shock of running into an actual listener I bought ‘Joe’ a coffee, we chatted and ended up seeing the movie together.  He gave me some valuable feedback about the show and I was glad to meet him.

Oh, and was Hamlet 2 any good?  Let’s just say there won’t be a Hamlet 3 Dear Listener.

    No-say it ain't so! Haven't seen it yet but I love saying 'rock me sexy Jesus!'

  2. jettloe says:

    I laughed consistently throughout the film but yet it failed. For 'SPOILER AHOY' reasons I won't go farther – perhaps in an episode coming up if we can get the good Professor Doctor to see it.

    Seems like the selection lately, aside from Wall-E and Batman, has been very poor.

  4. jettloe says:

    I agree – am looking forward to seeing some decent friggin' films. I'm tired of the crap.

    Speaking of TFT encountering the real world:

    Gareth – Sorry not to see your Films of the Year review at Greenbelt, hope you're having a good one and that it's keeping dry.

  6. Phil says:

    The natural question here is, are those tattoos? Doe Joe write notes to himself, like in “Memento”?

    I wonder if Jett/Gareth may do the same when taking notes for films they are reviewing?

  7. Joe says:

    Yep. They're tatts. Got them on a whim about five years ago. They always spark conversation, but I usually forget they are there.

  8. Phil says:

    What do they all say? I see that some are obscured by your shirt.

  9. Joe says:

    Love, Joy, Peace, Long-Suffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperence

  10. Phil says:

    Ahhh…the Fruits of the Spirit…

    Galatians.
