Of course. But it’s more of a theater film and I won’t get there. Unless... following the other thread, it is in fact OK to go to the moves solo. I may pop in.

David Puttnam, the Cork-based British film producer, has defended Liam Neeson after the actor’s controversial interview in February in which told a journalist that, following the rape of a friend, he went out with a cosh with a mind to kill a “black b*st*rd”.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Plain Speaking podcast, from University College Cork, Puttnam says Neeson is “a good man” and the rush to judge him is embarrassing.
“He’s a good man, decent man. There’s no bad in Liam. Did he lose his temper? Possibly. Has he lived a very privileged lifestyle for quite a long time? Does that put you into a slight bubble? Maybe, but this is not a bad man.
“The idea that suddenly Liam Neeson has turned out to be someone different from the person we thought he was, or someone less empathetic than the person we thought he was, is stupid. Liam was a boxer. He does know how to handle himself. He comes from a pretty tough background, but is he a decent man? Absolutely. Have we been quick to rush to judgment? Totally and embarrassingly.”
