Pillars of the Earth C4

[lilelvis2000]

Wow! Gordon Pinsett still alive! And - according to imDB - Donald Sutherland makes an appearance! The Pillars of the Earth (TV mini-series 2010) - IMDb

I saw the trailers last week but was put off by it being 2 hours long, and the fact I never heard of the "famous" book or any of the "all star" cast.

Worth a look?

One of the cast:

Donald Sutherland - he's new I think, never done much before, but his son has.

it was published in 1989 and has sold something like 15 million copies which puts it in the all-time-top 100 books in terms of sales. so i think it would be fair to say it is famous. it's a ripping good historical yarn and worth a look. the sequel came out a few years ago and is much in the same vein.

gamey game

the board game is very good. We play it when the family come around. without the incest and the sodomy unfortunately

Definitely worth a look & I'd never heard of the book

They used...

... the N word???

I thought that was BANNED.

You will find that the tone of the board has slipped somewhat since your last spell on here

With winker & puking smilies available, the use of the word norks appears to be the least of this boards problems

It could be something to do with the transition from a real mod like scotspine to these pseudo bedwetting mods who have lowered the tone of the forum

I suppose it's progress

Plus coruption, arson, treason, ...

Yeah, all human life was there.

Might have been commonality of Ian McShane, but it reminded me a bit of Deadwood

That must have lightened your mood.

A song was being sung in which almost every other word was "*******" the other day, on a terrestrial channel at around 9pm. Some comedy programme or other that I didn't watch.

All good prime time viewing.. but a very convoluted storyline - felt like they were trying to cram in a lot of stage setting into the first episode

German/Canadian production about England
