[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 433760, member: 8"] Oh...I've tried to watch that a few weeks ago, but turned it off after 30+ minutes or so. I have never watched the original series therefore it's all new to me. I found what I've seen (set up, characters, purpose etc) incomprehensible but I can blame that failure on my own nitwittery. But it's also [I]boringly[/I] incomprehensible and surely I shouldn't be blamed for both. There's nothing outrageous about this situation, it's happened many times before....but probably [I]not[/I] with films starring Gary Oldman. On the upside, I never got to the part of Tom Hardy's [SIZE=2](alleged)[/SIZE] problematic performance which means that my opinion of Hardy & Locke remains untarnished. I have been thinking about watching the original TTSS series (and its sequel) because I usually like to watch characters who pretend to be someone else. I'm sure it traces back to the children's stories about bad wolves pretending to be sweet grandmothers and whatnot. Come to think of it, wasn't Gary Oldman in a modern version of Red Riding Hood?
