jencat | So very behind with the times...

So: seeing that Layer Cake was on tonight, and desperately wanting to get the image of Daniel Craig plus oogy beard out of my head, thought I'd give it a whirl..

Obviously not one of those flicks where I was overly familiar with the cast list, given that both Michael Gambon and George Harris (as in, Kingsley in OOTP) turned up and I didn't have a clue. For some reason (there's a chance that half a bottle of red wine may have been involved) the idea of James Bond and Kingsley Shacklebolt riding around in a car together sorting out dodgy drug dealers had me in hysterics for about half an hour. And this is way before Dumbledore turned up and had Dan Craig dangling over the side of a building...

And in related news of how clueless I am, it's only taken me several months to finally work out that Nat Tena was in About A Boy. Which would account for that nagging sense of weird familiarity, I guess - although in my defense she was using a different name and I totally didn't bother checking IMDB until, erm, tonight. Duh, as they say...
