“The British film industry has always tried to sell itself as something...” — Peter Capaldi Quote

The British film industry has always tried to sell itself as something rather sophisticated. It's almost as if it thinks it is by royal command. It has always tried to claim the high ground, not only over Hollywood but over the whole of humanity!

The Hollywood image of the movie business is all about ambition and high achievers like James Cameron. But the British film industry is much more about men who wear cravats and work with model trains and hope another series of 'Thomas the Tank Engine' will be commissioned.

I haven't found anything to complain about. But being Scottish, it won't be long.

The idea that the British carried out hundreds of war crimes in Iraq is, of course, utterly without foundation and grossly unfair.
