A rousing adventure tale of Daring-Do with more than a little modern sophistication. In a sense it's a 'coming of age' yarn, but with an English sense. SPOILER ALERT!!! I'd heard the phrase before, but the spin put on it by the character - with the understanding of what principle is being explained - made the maxim richer, to wit: "A Gentleman's name should appear in a newspaper only three times in his life: When he's born, when he's married, and when he dies". In short, this is an homage to all of the *deliberately* unsung heroes who keep the world relatively on track.
I enjoyed the original theatrical release, but when I watched the extended cut, the story became much richer. There were nuances to the characters and their relationships that I hadn't caught before. Further, the extras where you heard the cast talk about what the project had been like in the making; you further understood the 'back story' (not only to the *making* of the film, but to the themes *within* the film!) WELL WORTH THE 'PRICE OF ADMISSION!!!
This release includes all 24 episodes of the brainy sitcom The Big Bang Theory, following the romantic and practical misadventures of two genius physicists, who are at the top of their fields in science, but at the bottom of the totem in playing the field. The two continually attempt to bring their social skills into par with their laboratory skills, and living across the hall from a charming blonde actress gives them plenty of motivation.
A rarity: a comedy show that just keeps getting *better*! Physically, the set was in factory-fresh condition, the images were great on the screen and, as mentioned, the show was gut-bustingly hilarious!
