Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story


Today, I also finished watching Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. In case you haven't noticed, I'm totally a huge fan of Dylan Moran, and I decided to watch the movie because I heard he was in it. I was disappointed by his small role, but even so, that was not my real issue with the movie. For those of you who don't know, this is a movie about making a movie, namely, Tristram Shandy. So, there are scenes from the movie, and the rest is about the cast and crew. Personally, I found the scenes from Tristram to be very interesting and funny, but the rest of the film was kinda boring to me :( Sadly, I would prolly rate this movie about a 4 out of 10.

But, I am going to check out the book that inspired it all: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy.

  1. WHAT?! This movie was brilliant! I have been meaning to read the book as well... sigh.

    P.S.

    P.G.Wodehouse was on NPR the other day... not like, in person... They were recommending one of his books, and I said "EMMY!"

  2. I'm sorry we do not see eye-to-eye on Tristram. Its not that I hated it, and I was prolly a littl harsh (I was tired and a bit stressd) but its still not my favorite movie... :(

    So exciting about Wodehouse! And it makes me so happy that it made you think of me :D

  4. I too heard the piece on Woodhouse and like Steven meant to tell you about it. It's that thing I forgot.
    Forgetfulness is an affliction I'm having to learn to live with.

  5. Eep! Sorry, Amabra! "Prolly" is a term I use with my friends at school (I think they invented it) and I sometimes forget that everyone knows it... "Prolly" means "Probably". As in, "I'll probably ride my bike today." "I'll PROLLY ride my bike today."

    Hope that helps! :S
