I f**ked up.

It was actually 1987.....24 years seems like a moment.

Anyone want to estimate how many people are watching at wembley from the following video.

When I was there it was pretty packed both on the field and in the stands.....

4 nights of that........guess somebody must have liked them at the time.

  - yes one of the greatest films ever! (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Mar 9, 13:22:01
    - the book is better (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:24:53
      - Agreed that this book is better than the film but not that books are always better. (General Chat) - tim berry, Mar 9, 13:39:35
        
        I can't think of any film I've watched which has been better than the book. (n/m) (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Mar 9, 13:47:55
        
        Atonement - great book, great film. (n/m) (General Chat) - tim berry, Mar 9, 13:53:41
        
        If not better than the book. (n/m) (General Chat) - tim berry, Mar 9, 13:56:03
        
        great film, never read the book obviously (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Mar 9, 13:54:19
        
        no it isn't, a 2 hour film simply cannot compete with a book (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:44:06
        
        As a film-maker, I strongly disagree with you. (General Chat) - tim berry, Mar 9, 13:48:18
        
        well I'm struggling to think of any adapatations that are better than the books (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:52:42
        
        I'm with Worz on this. Films just cannot give you the same attachment to a character. (n/m) (General Chat) - megson, Mar 9, 13:46:26
        
        Disagree (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 9, 13:50:28
        
        disagree (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:57:31
        
        Of course this is true, but then again, charisma is difficult to capture in prose. (n/m) (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 9, 14:03:54
        
        ... IMO only, I respect that lots of people will disagree with this. (n/m) (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 9, 14:04:38
        
        it is a stretcjh to compare the two artforms, but what I can say for sure is that (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 14:07:28
      - I couldn't get on with the book (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 9, 13:27:53
        
        .... (General Chat) - SCC 28, Mar 9, 13:32:35
        
        So many epic quotes in that film. (n/m) (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 9, 13:38:05
        
        yes it was hard going, especially at first, but that was the point really (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:31:58
      - don't do books (General Chat) - SCC 28, Mar 9, 13:26:46
        
        the film is a lite version of the book (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:34:17
        
        LOTR got the feel pretty much right, and as good an adaptation as possible i reckon (General Chat) - megson, Mar 9, 13:45:36
        
        I'd forgotten about that, mind you I haven't read LOTR since I was about 12 (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:49:39
        
        You can't really compare a book to a film though - completely different art forms (n/m) (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 9, 13:40:05
        
        Surely you can if the film is supposed to be telling the same story? (n/m) (General Chat) - megson, Mar 9, 13:48:10
        
        A film is not just about the story though is it. (General Chat) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 9, 13:52:06
        
        yes, but when they despict the same story I think you can compare your enjoyment of them (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:42:34
        
        Correct. (n/m) (General Chat) - tim berry, Mar 9, 13:42:16

        isn't that about baseball though? (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:41:32
        
        No, that's the American remake of a British film. (General Chat) - tim berry, Mar 9, 13:43:39
        
        oh, had no idea it'd been made. I'll get hold of that (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 13:47:36

        haven't ready that yet. Ken Kesey hated it though didn't he? (n/m) (General Chat) - Worzel Scrimmage, Mar 9, 14:01:21
        
        Always worth remembering that Ken Kesey was on a LOT of drugs for a LONG time. (n/m) (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Mar 9, 14:04:19
