Well, that's true, of course. Lucas has got time on his hands though, surely? Come on, Lucas! Share with us your thoughts on the logistics of the Shia LaBeouf: Lord of the Monkeys scene!

Body of Lies is out on November 21st. I haven't seen it yet.
Post-Credits Scenes Take Two and The Truth Is Out There

They have, but I suspect no-one will mind all that much. I'm still waiting to hear who'll play Captain America. I refuse to get excited about reports that 'Marvel want DiCaprio for Cap' until he actually signs on the dotted line. Unlikely, admittedly, but it shows they're aiming high.

Thanks for that, Anonymous (and thanks for all your previous comments too!) I was about to email the editor to get that line taken out. I was aware of the post-credits scene (hence me sitting through the credits twice) but the UK PR swore blind that it had been dropped from UK prints. It turns out that it had been dropped from the prints shown to critics but not the theatrical prints. Infuriating. I should have known something was up when they denied that the scene even existed (well after it was already up on YouTube). I shall amend the blog accordingly.

thedalyemail > Sadly, I saw it a couple of years ago at the Edinburgh Film Festival and, as yet, there's no sign of it getting a decent release (hence its inclusion in the "Please Release Me" section). That's not to say it won't get one eventually - there are several films coming out soon that were at the same festival, so keep an eye out. However, it's also available on Amazon.fr, with English subtitles: http://www.amazon.fr/Du-jour-lendemain-Beno%C3%AEt-Poelvoorde/dp/B000GCFAMK
The Spallness Factor and Get Smart This Summer
Commented on 26.04.08 @ 13:41
I'm not being deliberately divisive! And I do rate Timothy Spall - it's just that I'm fed up with him playing whiny, blubbing losers, in much the same way that I'm fed up with seeing Robin Williams playing innocent man-child types. As long as Spall sticks to roles where he's not required to burst into tears about halfway through, everything will be fine. And for what it's worth, I really *am* looking forward to the Get Smart movie, though I accept that a) it may be rubbish and b) not everyone will share my looking-forward-to-it-ness.
