I will be watching,tonight. how about all of you?

I was going to watch anyway but will do so with keen eagerness if they have any NUDITY in it.
I'm bad that way. I like nudity if it's integral to the plot, especially when Johnny Depp's in the movie but I like other people too.
I don't think there will be any naked scenes in it though; not tonight. I want to find out what happens to Barbie, b/c I still cant figure out any believable way to get him out of being hung Junior.

...The portrayal as in the book makes for the good movie. That is what the fans want to see...
Not necessarily. The stories in some books as is lend themselves relatively easily to the screen. Most are difficult to make movies or TV shows from. There are various artistic reasons for these difficulties. The main goal of the film/TV show-makers is to create successful entertainment.

I haven't seen the show yet, but when I do I intend to try to enjoy any artistic quality. It's been a long time since I read the book anyway, so I'd probably not even notice the differences.

Don't get overtime as I'm on salary and nothing extra except the pleasure of his company for being Steve's chauffeur for the evening. I do get preferred rather than stadium seating, though, so there's that. :biggrin2:
Hey, I'll pay you overtime and chauffeur both of you around. Just give me 9 hours notice to get up there. Sadly, I can’t get my hands on a gold Rolls-Royce at such short notice. I hope that’s not a deal breaker. :)

Wait...wha???? I'm supposed to have a gold Rolls-Royce?!!! Nobody told me. He's going to be very disappointed when I show up in my blue Prius.

According to the Telegraph, Steve likes gold Rolls-Royces for UTD events. Oh those crazy Brits, how in the world can they mix up a Prius with a Rolls... and blue and gold on top of it? :)

I doubt there will be nudity but I do predict that Joe and Norrie will be banging domes before the end of season 2. ;-D

I quit watching the show after three or four episodes. Even though I will be completely lost, I plan on watching tonight. I am excited to see SK's cameo and support the episode he wrote. And as ka would have it, I stopped into the used bookstore today and found a first edition UTD hardcover (in very good condition) for $3!! I only owned the large paperback purchased years ago at Walmart. I've read it twice-UTD is a masterpiece! =D
