trailer break: ‘The Boat That Rocked’Take a break from work: watch a trailer... Ah, so the Internet generation didn’t invent piracy after all? These guys were like the bloggers of their day: independent voices saying whatever they wanted outside the auspices of corporate control. Good for them. I’m hearing some not-so-good things about this from the British contingent among my readers here, but I can’t imagine missing this one anyway. Not with Bill Nighy, who can make standing stock still with a blank face hilarious. And Philip Seymour Hoffman, he’s like the Gene Hackman of our day: he’s good in everything. I might have to buy the DVD of this one from Amazon U.K. -- it’ll surely be available before this even opens in the U.S. The Boat That Rocked is now playing in the U.K.; it opens in the U.S. on August 28.

The movie has been released in Australia as well, and I have to agree with your British readers, the movie sunk!! Sure, the individual performances are good/even great, but they should have left at least 45 minutes of it on the cutting room floor.
(awaiting more of your Dr Who goodness)

Looks like Richard Curtis's next project is a Doctor Who script:
