William H. Macy recommended Being There (1979) in Movies (curated)

"I think, since we’re on Peter Sellers, Being There has always been very, very close to me. I just love that film. I love everything about it. I love what it said. I love his performance and the whole thing of doing the outtakes when Sellers was laughing. There’s a wonderful thing — terrific actor whose name I do not know, he runs the elevator in the mansion there. And at one point Sellers gets on the elevator. The first time he gets on, he says, “This is a very small room,” and it makes the guy laugh. At any rate, there’s one where Sellers gets on the elevator and the actor bricks; he starts laughing before anyone says anything. It’s just that what they were doing was so funny, and Sellers was so funny, this actor bursts out laughing and then composes himself. It’s all in character, and yet it’s all completely genuinely him. It’s one of my favorites."

Today is the last day of June, midway through the year, and I'm imminently going to be a Cineworld Unlimited Black Card holder. How did I celebrate this momentous occasion? I went to a 3D showing of Despicable Me 3 and had to pay for the privilege because my new card is still on it's way. The volume was massively loud, and I'm almost convinced it was to drown out the few kids that were in there. (NOTE: It didn't work, they just shouted louder.) I always worry that you can do a franchise to death. But actually, this was a nice entertaining film, and I'm really happy they put 80s music in it. Toe tapping through the film and now I'm home I'm trying to restrain myself from getting the playlists out and dancing round my living room. Hands down favourite part of the film... Agnes is talking with the barman about unicorns... just so wonderful.

Edgar Allen Poe is on a tour of the universities of England, His first stop Oxford. He's worried about his wife who's had a rough time on the way over. Hes had a bit too much to drink to celebrate his success he then wakes up in what he thinks is his room with a very sore head and a dead chambermaid at the bottom of his bed on the floor!
He must do everything he can to clear his name so he can continue with his tour.

It is an absolutely encapsulating story it did remind me a bit of Sherlock and Watson. It's very well written and captures your imagination from the start!

The murder scenes are rather gruesome but then murders aren't meant to be pretty are they! The air of mystery through out the novel keeps you wanting to read through to the end to find out whodunit and why?

a fantastic mystery to keep you captivated.

Due to having to go for her jabs, my baby has been to the Dr's quite a few times and it's safe to say we only look forward to one thing when we get there and that's this book. It's in the reading corner every time we visit and when I show it to her her little face just lights up. It's such a bright, colourful, happy book that I go out of my way to find it when we are in the waiting room. The adventures of Teddy are fun to read for your little one and there are plenty of different characters to involve and point to.
Unfortunately I can't give a solid rating of the book's potential as my baby is way too young for this yet...she does like the pretty pictures though.
