"I liked the whale. I thought Brendan Fraser was fantastic. Agree though that people getting outraged a real morbidly obese actor not being cast is just silly. As if there are any who could carry the role off.... The Nike Air film is on my list. Really looks good. There's a great doc on BT sport about it as well. Called Sole Man, about Sonny Vacaro (Matt Damon's character)"

"I agree with Mr Anon. There was one episode that sticks with me, regarding the cold ruthlessness of Logan: Kendal did something to undermine Logan. Logan broods on this. He tells Kendal he's going to visit the family of 'the boy waiter who died' and insists Kendal comes along with him. Just pure venom towards his own son. Instantly takes the uppity and cocksure Kendal down several pegs."
