Well, if I can single-handedly ensure the stage show doesn't get cancelled, why not? :mrgreen:

Yeah it's the kind of feel good film that never flops....
It might underperform though if expectations are high. It should do well though, considering Tom Cruise had a bit of a revivial of late with MI:GP

cant believe its not been removed from youtube yet!
That's fantastic, thanks Raj! I really need to DL that from YouTube somehow, I'd love to have it for keeps it has a great quality.

you can download from youtube? I want one!

Theres a few entire shows on there at the moment, the wonderful Cats included. Also Rent. They are mint quality uploads so its just like watching the DVD of the shows if you plug your PC into your tv and watch it.

I like owning theatre downloads of stuff that isn't available on DVD. They're usually quite poor quality though, like with a cam version of a cinema movie that is not out on DVD (for example Wicked and We Will Rock You. I am still searching for Rock of Ages which I have not found yet. In the US it's a *thing* to trade Broadway shows, int he UK I don't think it's a known concept).

In the case of Legally Blonde it seems it's an MTV special, so maybe it's actually available on DVD? I'm not sure.

Google "dowloading from YouTube" and you'll find a wealth of programmes that can do that for you (there's even websites where you just enter the YouTube URL and it'll DL straight to your computer). However many will make the quality less than what it is and I don't remember what good programme I used to have on my other laptop.

I'd like to p*rchase a David Tennant too! :p

Are you b*ying Much Ado? I do have Tennant's Hamlet on DVD already, but am still waiting for them to release Much Ado on DVD too.

No armrests but such a bargain. Did you know they are doing a live broadcast of this on March 29th? Lots of Odeons and Curzons and maybe others, £15.
Even better Jeacomp, I'll probably do that
