The Sting & Kevin

To those in the Netherlands or the UK, or elsewhere where BBC2 can be watched, the great movie "the Sting", with, of course, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, aka. Paul Newman en Robert Redford when he was still oh so young, is on that channel at 16:55 GMT or 17:55 Dutch time. Worth it for the great interplay between the leads and of course the Scott Joplin music.

Also notable on TV in the Netherlands this week, on Friday, after the -in my opinion-rather lame "Jay and Silent Bob Strike back", RTL5 will show "an evening with Kevin Smith". I haven't seen it yet, I don't think it's been brought out on DVD in the Netherlands, but what can you ask more for a Friday night to spend with Kevin Smith? The special is very long (224 minutes, which is -I love calculating these things-2.234 times as long as "Clerks") and starts late, at 23:50...but then, staying up late is what Friday's are for.
