nope, when I heard he was playing that part I was gutted. Totally, totally wrong man for the part of Robert LAngdon.

Too old for one thing.

I thought so too. I'm not sure who I would have picked, but it wouldn't have been him.

Nope, and I wouldnt have picked Richie bloody Cunningham to direct it either.

I would have prefered someone like Mathew McCaunaghy in the role. He could have played the part similar to in A Time to Kill, minus the southern accent.

Yeah, I never really thought about him. He could've done it - would have been more suited to the role than Tom Hanks. I've never even heard of Richie Cunningham though...

Morgan Freeman in quite a lot of films - I'm beginning to think that the man is in every movie ever made. He's a really good actor though...

Hasn't Richie directed some good films though?

Well, he directed 'The Grinch' and 'Apollo 13'...

Oh yeah, another good actor in a bad role - Christian Bale; in practically everything. He has the potential to be good... I think.

Saw the Wicker man with Nicholas Cage.Molly Parker....oh. Lets just say, the whole film focuses around honey and bees. There wouldnt be enough honey for me and Molly....

I really really really want to see that film. I have seen it before at it just made me laugh, but I love Cage.

Michael Caine in the majority of films he's done over the last few years... he only ever plays bit parts as the 'wise british guy' now...
