Guest aironepony Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Belfast Film Festival 2005 Two short weeks after last years Belfast Film Festival our offices were burned to the ground as a result of the fires which decimated Belfast's historic North Street Arcade. The base and entire history of the Belfast Film Festival was lost. Since the fire our year has been characterised by offers of generous support from throughout the city, and by a strength of spirit and determination from the team which would not be out of place in the storyline of a big screen epic starring BFG! ................................ problem solved.....?

Guest aironepony Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 BFG the Movie When orphan Sophie is snatched from her bed by a Giant, she fears that he's going to eat her. But although he carries her far away to Giant Country, the Giant has no intention of harming her. As he explains, in his unique way of talking, "I is the only nice and jumbly Giant in Giant Country! I is THE BIG FRIENDLY GIANT! I is the BFG." The BFG tells Sophie how he mixes up dreams to blow through a trumpet into the rooms of sleeping children. But soon, all the BFG's powers are put to the test as he and Sophie battle to stop the other Giants from tucking into the children of the world. The RAF and even the Queen become involved in the mission. [from roalddahl.com] ..............................

macguzzi Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Did you know Hagrid in his real life is an ex motorcyclist and collects Yank cars. He likes to tinker with his spanners.
belfastguzzi Posted March 12, 2006 Author Posted March 12, 2006 OK Folks I'm running out of time on this as I've gotta do it tonight. I was taken by the head of Alfred Garcia and a few other things, but I'm gonna stick with the Easy Rider theme, for better or worse. It's gonna be 'Ulster Rider' though. 'A man looking for Assembly and couldn't find it anywhere'. Resident politician,Nogbad, might get the significance of that. At least that's a bit more realistic than the original strapline, 'A man looking for America and couldn't find it anywhere". Well really, I know Cullybacky is hard to find, but America...? Generally it finds you, like it or not.

Apparently he likes it old and big. Not difficult to understand when you see the size of him.

Which they started up. In a garage.....
