“Withnail and I”
I’d resolved to post, in this space, only items related to my travels. But last night I had occasion to view one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen, and I’ll go nuts if I can’t share it with you all.
“Withnail and I” isn’t a new movie, but it’s new to me. The British cult classic, released in 1987 but set in late 60’s-era London, is a madcap tale about two unemployed actor friends. Here’s a list of quotes (warning: explicit language), though I fear it won’t make for especially amusing reading unless you’ve seen the movie.
Oh Newley, I didn’t realize you hadn’t yet discovered W&I! I myself discovered it several years ago in a flat in Stockwell (or was it Brixton?), with a Camberwell carrot all my own enhancing the comedic effects. One of the best movies of all time, hands down.

Nick, I knew instinctively that you must have seen this flick and that you simply must be a big fan.
