Heads-Up for Kiwi SOLOists: The History Boys Submitted by Lindsay Perigo on Sat, 2008-08-16 01:31.
I caught this movie part-way through by accident the other day and watched in enthralled, delighted disbelief. A contemporary (2006) movie with brains?! It's not an "Objectivist" movie, exactly, but it has plot, timeless themes, characterisation and wonderful dialogue that you don't have to strain to hear over a headbanging soundtrack. It's on again tonight, Sky TV, 10.35, and finishes in time for the rugby at 12.50. Rattiganesque, riveting, recommended!

Yes, a splendid play/film!
...the only disappointing aspect is that the play had the absolutely yummy Thomas Morrison playing the character 'Scripps', but for the film he was replaced by Jamie Parker..*sigh*
Any solo-ists with Sky Television should tune in.
