Maybe I need to cut him some slack where this film is concerned. I found it fascinating until it went off the rails with useless violence. I've heard good things about Baby Driver, so maybe I'll try to check it out. Would you believe I've never seen a single episode of The Avengers. The only time I remember seeing Diana Rigg is in a marvelous TV film called In This House of Breed where she played a nun.Mike's Movie Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839320118431543221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797719689790882240.post-57544610838672270522023-03-18T02:21:33.645-07:002023-03-18T02:21:33.645-07:00I had the same reaction to this as you did, Mike. ...I had the same reaction to this as you did, Mike. Edgar Wright is a director who likes to mash different genres together, apparently. The great cast, both young and old, do pull it through the unnecessary gore. Thomasin McKenzie is superb and I am looking forward to seeing her in Eileen soon, from a book I read a few years ago and really liked. Terence Stamp, Rita Tushingham and Diana Rigg! I just finished watching all the Diana Rigg episodes of The Avengers currently available on Prime. She was so cool as Mrs.Peel. And where was Mr. Peel? Edgar Wright has a great appreciation of film history and is actively supportive in restoring older and neglected films and I am always grateful to those with influence contributing to the cause. I have only seen Hot Fuzz from him previously but I might check some of his other films. He certainly has talent. Roger Kirbynoreply@blogger.com
