tristram shandy

I apologize because I'm sure this has been discussed previously quite some time ago, but anyway.

I just saw Michael Winterbottom's "Tristram Shandy" (finally), and I wondered what anyone else thought about it. Although ultimately I think it's a very postmodern little lark about nothing terribly important, I found it plenty funny. I think anybody who likes the style and humor of '24 Hour Party People' would enjoy it, and even that darn Tony Wilson shows up as his own self. The DVD has a full interview between Steve Coogan and Wilson, so that was fun.

That other fella in it,Rob Brydon is absolutely hysterical. I think he is better than Coogan,who seems to have gone down hill over the past few years. Just look at Saxondale.

It's called "A Cock and Bull Story" on these shores.

Not seen it, but do want to. Just out on DVD this week over here, saw a big ad for it on the train up to Liverpool last weekend.

Really just want to see it cos it sounds too clever by 'alf, so wonder just how it's gonna pan out.

Yeah, it's fully called "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story." As long as you know something about Steve Coogan, you'll like it. And it's pretty clever, if nothing much else, but fun.

I really did like this movie, especially the story within a story within another story concept...

I shall have to try reading the books one day (when I get another holiday, perhaps) :)
