[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 434805, member: 8"] I've read [I]A Few Good Men[/I] review not so long ago, I haven't seen the film myself but I remember the comments saying that it was very hammy and that the reveal came because of an inexplicably uncharacteristic, emotional outburst rather than being cleverly checkmated - which I interpret as a deus ex machina. Do you recognise any of that or was the review exaggerated? I imagine these are the more overtly sleazy ones, and while that doesn't offend me at all I do think it takes the "double" out of the double entendre, and then the joke doesn't land anymore. Yes, several related titles came up in the Carry On search and I've randomly added [I]She'll Have To Go[/I] and [I]On The Buses [/I] to the list. With all my series on DVD to watch plus the 60+ titles I found on netflix I think I might be overstretching myself, therefore I have no idea when the next Carry On will be shown in Cinema Mercantile. My plans for 2025 have been ruthlessly sabotaged by many detours and distractions. I got lots of great stuff instead and I like to think that it was necessary for my "personal growth" as Oprah would say it, but the fact remains that it happened at the expense of other and earlier ambitions. One more thing (how Columbo of me) I'd like to mention about CARRY ON TEACHER is that the school play disaster is surprisingly similar to CARRIE's iconic prom scene. Minus the kill count, of course.
