"Like the drink, but not spelt the same"

At last saw 'The Green Mile' on Saturday. I'll resist the temptation to launch into a lengthy disquisition, but suffice to say I thought it was absolutely superb. No, actually, permit me to chuck in a few choice adjectival phrases: weighty, harrowing, incredibly moving, beautifully shot, unhurried in pace and not a minute too long. I had been sceptical that Frank Darabont could have produced anything to match up to 'The Shawshank Redemption', but fucking hell he managed it. One more thing: I really, really want to go to Mouseville.
