I'm afraid that I'd have to agree with goodolfashionedloverboy. Pete Postelthwaite may have been one of the finest character actors this country has ever seen but he was certainly no Freddie Mercury and for that reason alone, I hope he rots in hell.
fatty.
this means that Sky Movies now have the excuse to show The Usual Suspects and Jurassic Park 2 every day for the rest of the year as a tribute to him just as they've shown Jaws non-stop for the last year as a tribute to Roy Scheider...
OMG. I had no idea until I saw this thread. First Dennis Hopper last year, now Pete Postlethwaite.
He was wonderful. His performance in In the Name of the Father was heartwrenching. He was also superb in The Usual Suspects, and in almost all of the films in which I've seen him, he was consistently great. The Town was the latest example of his greatness.
Horrible. RIP

I was going to write a scathing response to goodolfashionedloverboy, but your brilliant response says it all! :D

Where I live, the television stations don't even bother looking for a reason to show Jaws non-stop. It comes on some cable channel multiple times each weekend. The same with the Godfather movies.

"She broke my heart!"
Anyway, I would've thought where you live, Jaws is shown like a public safety announcement:
Beach users are reminded to swim between the flags.
Lifeguards are on duty between 9-7 pm
Watch out for basking sharks: they're not very discriminating.
Don't touch any radioactive floaties that've migrated down the Irish Sea from Sellafield.
Oh, and due to global warming, Mediterranean great whites can now be seen in the paddling pool.

at this time of the year all the lifeguards are sitting on a beach somewhere in the colonies and The Maid Nora [the boat] is having her barnacles scrubbed off her bottom and a lick of paint so the sea and the man eating basking sharks can have Mounts Bay all to themselves [except that they are up in Jockland this time of the year].
however i did notice that Jaws was once again on sky this morning so there is no escape..
