For you Londoners or anyone lucky enough to be visiting on 9th or 29th of December, you can catch one of David Warner's funniest performances on the big screen (ah, to fall out of my theatre seat with tears streaming from my eyes all over again when he accidentally obliterates one of his servants with a stray zap of his finger, then so casually apologizes and goes on with his tirade) ... It's playing at the BFI's National Film Theatre as part of their "Somewhere" season, which also includes another of my favorites, "a glorious digital restoration" of "The Wizard of Oz." (According to the BFI blurb, "All the films in this season have in common a vividly imagined creation of an alternative inner universe.")

Wow, a *second* DW movie is being shown as part of this "Somewhere" festival of "vividly imagined creations of an alternative inner universe" ... Neil Jordan's _The Company of Wolves_. (Unfortunately, I didn't find that movie quite as charming and whimsical as _Time Bandits_ ... in fact, I found all the gore rather nauseating overall!) I guess we shouldn't be *too* surprised at a second entry by DW when he's been in a good percentage of all the movies ever made! He's catching up to Christopher Lee in the number of credits in his filmography!
Anyhow, _Company_ has already been shown once (last Friday, sorry), but it'll be on the big screen again at London's National Film Theatre (Screen 2) on Thursday, December 28, at 6:20 p.m., just in case anybody can make it! (Is anybody even reading this message board anymore? I think there's been only one or two other posters besides me in the last several months, and I seem to be the only "regular"!)

I'm still lurking in the shadows, Suky. Old habits die hard!
