sleepest thou, companion dear?

 So I got a rather interesting email this morning. It contained some pictorial proof of postage that was positively peachy. 



Only 2nd class? I would have ponied up for 1st! Can anyone guess what it is? I'll give you a clue and say, this movie is a son of a bitch to track down and apparently not commercially available anywhere. But if I've got my grubby little mitts on a copy, that means all you fine people are going to get to see it too! 

Once upon a time, someone decided it would be a good idea to make a terrible film adaption of a rather good book/musical. In this film, Liam Neeson chewed the scenery, Claire Danes took on method acting by way of a piece of particle board and Geoffery Rush starred as 'oh hey it's that's guy'. Also, Uma Thurman was skinny, grubby and dead.

Luckily whoever was in charge of casting also gave Hans Matheson a role! That role clearly being: to look luminous, far-younger-than-23-what-are-you-Hans-some-kind-of-vampire and very, very, breakable adorable.

( And my mind goes, oh hey, it's young!Coward. Let's do bad things to him. )
