Keats and Chapman were visiting a friend at his house in the country. Their friend was well known for his hobby of collecting thrones, rather unusual collector's items perhaps, but the man had the wealth to have acquired quite a fair few of them. At Keats' request, the man led them through to a large conservatory, where the collection stood. Some were set out for display, whilst others, the less worthy perhaps, were stacked in piles. Chapman was particularly struck by one throne which was some way down in a stack in a corner. He asked if it might be possible to view it properly, and their friend obligingly called for the butler to dismantle the pile. The butler was some time in arriving, and Chapman, impatient at the wait, began to lift thrones from the pile himself. Unfortunately, the pile had not been well stacked, and, Chapman disturbing its precarious equilibrium, the whole heavy tower of thrones toppled and fell, crashing through the glass end wall of the conservatory.
There was a silence, then Chapman, horror-stricken, said, "What can I say?"
"You could try the old adage," said Keats promptly. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't stow thrones."

well I watched the video, thought about posting but thought better of it. Then your signature reminded me of one of my favourite keats and chapman stories. I googled it and thought id share it!

Completely logical stuff. I like the story. The movie sounds fun too. When's it out in america? I will be contacting my cousins asap.

Movie looks like it has potential but it could also easily turn out to be utter tripe.

I'm not sure it'll be much good, it looks like Charlies Angels but instead of them kicking mens arses, their beating them at poker.

Good joke Nicky. Surely this muck is not the film several top pros were cast in and is due for release in the next few months.

I have several ideas for films but have so far been unable to secure financial backing for them.

Anyone interested?

FYP.

My favourite line from the trailer: "We can't let her walk into the desert on her own" (or something along those lines).

Let her go, I say, the dozy cow!

Now that reminds me of the story of a certain young model turned actress who had a rich and influential boyfriend who managed to get her cast as the lead in "Diary of Anne Frank" - even though said model was too old and an appaling actress. In fact she was so bad that when the Germans came a member of the audience stood up and shouted - "She's in the attic!"

I think it looks brilliant. Brilliant in that it may just bring a few more fish to the game. Thats all:rolleyes:

Reminds me of a Geordie comic's gag about his trip to Amsterdam: I went to the Anne Frank house, no wonder the Germans found her - there's a bloody plaque outside with her name on it!

I'm so angry after seeing that trailer my vision is going blurry

As stated, it may attract a few more fish to the game. That and maybe a few sorority chicks (always good )

You evidently have never had to endure the pain that is being anywhere near sorority chicks!!
I'm still angry:mad:

Forget about this pile S***e, wait for LUCKY YOU - has some great potential with the cast and storyline; however the continued delaying of its release does bother me somewhat!!

I see Jennifer Harman, Negreanu, Mike the Mouth and of course my favorite poker player....eh Drew Barrymore all star!!!
