Withnail and I

Hi,

I purchased the 20th Anniversary Edition DVD of Withnail and I today. A couple of things to note...

1) This DVD edition has been given an 18 certificate due to the content of the extras on Disc 2 (The main feature on Disc 1 has a 15 certificate).

2) Disc 3 only contains the tracks from the Film Score. The Jimi Hendrix / Beatles / King Curtis tracks that were included on the Original Soundtrack CD are NOT included.
 
I've been using "Find your neutral space" for ages and had forgotten where that came from. :D

I still think Nikki from Big Brother stole more than a little from Withnail's persona, the swine. :D
 
I really think that this film is a bag of crap.
FrienRAB of mine came home from college just after it came out raving about it,Myself and other non college frienRAB agreed, terrible film.
I think its a student thing.
Richard e grant is just playing himself as witnessed with his other films,and the poorest mcgann brother thinking he is john lennon.
There really is nothing to this film,very unfunny.
 
I was amazed when I watched that film and it bored me silly. It sounded as though it would be right up my street, but after about an hour I realised I hadn't laughed once and I was incredibly bored with it, so I stopped watching.
 
After 20 years of not fancying watching the film, I finally saw it today. And....

V dull.

I wonder if it is an age / culture thing? If you were a student when the film became famous and did the whole drinking game thing, perhaps it works. On a dull November afternoon in 2006, it sure doesn't.

Oh well, at least I can say I've seen it now...
