No, didn't see it, Malc. As you say, though, he doesn't seem the type that would react badly - very "go with the flow", I think. Wouldn't like to try something like that on Russell Crowe!
I got
Australia last Friday, Diane - was on special in Borders and hubby went back to buy it for me, even though it was about half an hour out of his way and he can't stand that sort of movie. Wouldn't have bothered if we hadn't recently bought a 50" plasma TV (our old one was about 16 years old, 26", and the picture was green, so we don't know ourselves now). It's definitely best on a biggish screen, to get a good perspective on the landscape - beautiful cinematography. Hugh looks bigger too, of course!
I just noticed I'm legless - I think I liked it better when I was tipsy. And how come Roger and Malc are Brilliant Blokes and Diane and I are in various stages of extreme inebriation??
