Corretamundo. Bloke in the middle played Kyle Reece who was John Connors father in the story. The same actor was Corpral Hicks in Aliens.

I'm normally good at remembering names and faces but I'm drawing a blank with him. Don't think he was in much after those two films.

Michael Been. Originally in the scene before Sarah Conner dreams she walks outside just before the nuclear blast hits and she's turned into a skeleton as he tells her to go outside. It was cut from the final release though.

Met him at a convention in Bournemouth a few years back. Lovely fella.

"And that's how it came to pass that on the second to last day of the job, the convict crew the tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of forty-nine wound up sitting in a row at 10 o'clock in the morning drinking icy cold bohemian style beer, courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison".

It's perfect mate, not just the acting or the storyline; it's the way it's told with Freeman narrating it. Absolutely superb. Won't be surpassed imo, cinema gold.

Get busy livin

Sat and watched the Jackass Forever movie last night on Netflix. Still as silly as it ever was, reminded me of being a teenager sat laughing at them doing stupid ****.

Tell you what mate, being a teen through that era was class. My mates and myself would sit and watch JA at one lads house because he was the only one with Sky (everyone had that one mate that had everything). American Pie, Road trip, Scream ect.Same when the PlayStation came out, he had it first so about 5 of us would sit and watch him play one player Tomb Raider.
 
Nice one. I'll have a look. The remains of the day is a quality film with Hopkins in that kind of goes under the radar. He made silence of the lambs a year later. Very good.

Watched it today, quality film. On the depressing side but I don't mind that and it's a thinker. Great performances from Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
