Didn't Stanleytake the piss25 years ago by casting a leading (at the time) Hollywood power couple ... and then died?-) And on the subject of dying, didn't Emily Blunt star in a Hollywood blockbuster with Tom, too?
I saw a Q&A preview screening of'The Way, My Way'last Saturday at the New Farm Cinemas and at first, I thought the cinema had done a Simon Bakeron me again with the Q&A part. like when I bought tickets to a Q&A screening of'Breath'they put on in 2018, as the movie was about to commence and there wasn't a chair or microphone in sight near the front of the cinema.
While I'm a Sharksand Lionssupporter, Bill is a Sydney Swanssupporter, hence that red hat he and the actor playing him in this movie are wearing in that photo above.
As I'm watching the movie I notice the date 1874 on the actor's hat and thought where have I just heard about that year recently, and it came to me that when I was watching the 1974 movie'Blazing Saddles'it was mentioned by Mel Brooks' characterin the movie that it was 1874, or 100 years before the movie was made:-)
And nothing much has changed in the 50 years since 'Blazing Saddles' was released, as Bill even has fart jokesin his movie ... see the trailer:-P
So, the Swans have been around 150 years this year, which takes you back to the year 'Blazing Saddles'was meant to take place until the 4th wall is smashed down big time?
According to Susan Backlinie's IMDB trivia page "she owned and trained a bear whose growls were later recorded for use as the voice of Chewbacca, according to Peter Mayhewtweet."
I noticed that there were a few Star Wars type jokes in the movie where one walker says to Bill "so you've come to the darkside?"
So, I thought Bill was aware of the May the Forth (be with you)finishing date of the walk, but when I asked him about the finishing date Star Wars Day flew straight over his head ... which is one reason I left plenty of headroom in that last shot above;-)
