cock and bull

just came back from seeing Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story in the best possible way - on a front row couch at the Parkway with a pitcher of Newcastle Brown Ale and wonderful company. this movie is highly amusing, particularly if you have never seen a window slam down on a penis before. the movie has tons of great British actors (Jeremy Northam, Stephen Fry, Ian Hart, Kelly McDonald, Naomie Harris, Shirley Henderson) all playing second fiddle to star Steve Coogan, just the way he likes it. there's no real point to the movie, just a movie-in-a-movie about adaptations, egos and mocking Fassbinder fanatics. not to mention, a hot chestnut in the pants. what more could you want?
