I have no obligation to advertise it to you only that it was great fun and having 1500 games to chose from and play freely yesterday afternoon ensured a good time was had by all all. I thought you might be interested as I loved reading David Gorman Vs The World. <br />Yours<br />John<br />http://www.thirstymeeples.co.uk/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639162017006138813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-85558514215758116652013-07-26T20:17:42.973+01:002013-07-26T20:17:42.973+01:00@Emma Spreadbury: of course... but it goes without...@Emma Spreadbury: of course... but it goes without saying that "and starring" is bigger than a simple "with" or "and".Dave Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260701102207639816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-67329065512141182592013-07-26T14:13:06.184+01:002013-07-26T14:13:06.184+01:00Good lord - that "corrected" (Sir) Tony ...Good lord - that "corrected" (Sir) Tony Hopkins image will haunt me for the rest of my days...Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13206194761618602632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-10638327835497227642013-07-26T13:06:37.010+01:002013-07-26T13:06:37.010+01:00Bird with a long neck - and it's not even Naom...Bird with a long neck - and it's not even Naomi Campbell!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-47411190995695690172013-07-26T10:56:07.272+01:002013-07-26T10:56:07.272+01:00Surely the most famous 'and starring': htt...Surely the most famous 'and starring': http://blogs.babble.com/famecrawler/files/2010/10/bosley.jpg<br />Emma Spreadburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323158899767254919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-82332804644908520692013-07-25T20:36:08.685+01:002013-07-25T20:36:08.685+01:00haha I was ranting about this poster to my friend ...haha I was ranting about this poster to my friend as we drove by it the other day.

I honestly can't work out which is worse, the RED 2 poster or this one for Brian DePalma's new film - Passion, with Rachel McAdams [who looks an awfull lot like Noomi Rapace] and Noomi Rapace who looks like Rachel McAdams. <br /><br />What's worse is Noomi Rapace is so far down the pecking orde [of two] she only gets half her face on the poster! Perhaps when they came to Photoshop it they only had half her features and decided it was just easier not to do a hatchet job on it. <br /><br />Funny thing is from the trailer I saw of this the other week Noomi Rapace actually looks like she has the bigger roll, if not the bigger 'star name'.<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2770904064/tt1829012?ref_=tt_ov_i 40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-88776203419916506802013-07-25T14:58:10.149+01:002013-07-25T14:58:10.149+01:00(Sorry if this comes up twice, I tried posting on ...(Sorry if this comes up twice, I tried posting on the mobile site but it didn't seem to work.)<br /><br />I don't see why they can't put the main name (Bruce Willis in this case) in the centre and higher up, then slope the other names down to the left and right. Then they could obviously be above the correct people.<br /><br />Re and/with: the Kermode & Mayo film show talked about this.

I thought "with" and "and" basically meant, "they're very famous but don't have a big role in this particular film so we can't get away with saying 'starring'". All the names before the "and" are surely getting bigger billing.
