Happy-Go-Lucky, Smoke-No-More

Mr. Leigh at his funniest. I found myself weeping with laughter for extended periods of time. We kept the subtitles on for this one… the spoken English would have been rather challenging to many, and to be perfectly honest, I picked up a lot of things that I’d missed before. Since the subtitles were actually intended as captions for the hearing impaired, they carried their own bits of hilarity… you didn’t really need to read that Poppy giggled (Giggles)!

Smoking goes out the window

You know that, as a former smoker, I remember the pleasure of sitting at a bar with a cocktail and a “fag”, but really, how many cigarettes does a person need to smoke in 3 hours? Apparently, for some people, about 10. We’ve been trying to get smokers to ease up, but it’s clear that that’s not going to happen on its own. So… smoking will no longer be allowed at MovieNight. There will be an ashtray and an open window in the staircase, but we’re not planning on putting a monitor out there anytime soon.

  1. I absolutely loved watching that film for a second time. It’s true that the subs added extra hilarity to it. Mike Leigh is just a genius….thanks for showing.
