War Horse

Just watched it. Wish I hadn't bothered. Tedious...

Why was it so popular?

Seems a big hit with the horsey community around here. I never bothered watching it myself, it sounds dreadful.

Perhaps it's that the horsey community see a companion and friend, whereas I see it as potential food. Personally, I'd have shot it.

Bloody right. Potential food and a potential threat if it gets close, vastly over rated creatures imho. I know several people who own their own horses and they seem to be as much work and expense as children, two of those people have had their backs broken when coming off their horse badly.

I used to ride before having a bit of a scary accident (fell off a spirited ex-race horse but had my foot stuck in the stirrup so go dragged for a while with a risk of trampling - my back was raw for weeks).
Anyway one of my favourite memories is galloping over the South Downs with a beautiful sunrise coming up - nothing more exhilarating in the world.

An inneresting fact: my virtual FIL was an extra in it. Some of it was filmed in Castle Combe near Chipp'num, you see.

He told me that Wenedicct Clumberbatch was shocking at knowing his lines. Ii havent seen it yet,, have only fast forwarded tgrough it to see FIL.

Are you on crack?

On an iPad I'd wager.

Rubbish for typing on, for me anyway.

He wasn't on it for long, if that helps.

I can. An image of a sack of potatoes dominates...

(At least, that's how it was for me... )
