Yeah, I'd never seen it before, but it was a very good film. I've never been much of a fan of boxing or domestic violence, but I still enjoyed the story, the acting and the cinematography.
You really haven't experienced the wonders of film until you've seen Robert De Niro's right nipple in 1080p.

I don't know if Raging Bull is especially aimed at fans of boxing or domestic violence. Sort of the opposite. Anyway. Yes! A good film. Good use of sound. Apparently the foley artist went a bit potty and became incredibly protective of his work and burnt most of his sound effects so they couldn't be re-used for other films.

Fans of movie sounds will be pleased to hear that somebody caught wind that he was going to be burning his sound effects and managed to set up a microphone to capture the moment and that was the fire noise used in "The Towering Inferno"

You have to wonder, sometimes, what people expect to get out of film.
Went to see Harry Brown last night. Coming out of the screen i overheard the women in front say it was ok but she "would have prefered a happy ending"
Personally i thought it was a rather happy ending. I was expecting a much bleeker one. I dont know what she was expecting from a film where an OAP goes around killing chav scum.

It's still with American Express though mart, and I'm fairly sure that even with these hard times we haven't branched out into plate design and manufacture to bring in extra money.

I just wanted to put you right about plates being products. You said that you "suppose" that they're products, and I thought it would be beneficial for you to know for a definite fact that plates are certainly, most definitely, positively and affirmatively products.

So will you be doing things like saying, "hey, maybe we should do a credit card with a 100% rate of interest?" and things like that.

Still. Working that out would be someone elses job, presumably. You can't expect a product development executive to waste his time on seeing a concept through to delivery.

Well, you never know with some companies. I imagine that busy product development executives at, say, Royal Doulton, have quite a lot on their plates.

Hey that gives me an idea for CiH's interview! At every opportunity he should say "Credit where credit's due, lol. Lol!". That could be their new slogan.

mart's joke was the nice one. It was classic mart, lacking cynicism, enjoying the natural interplay of words.
I thought about cherry working as a credit plan designer, and it just made me feel unsettled, so I found comfort in a gentle joke about plates.
