The film opens with a shot of Undertaker touching up his makeup as he perches on a cloud high above 1910 London. The action then descends to earth where Steve Austin, a cockney jack-of-all-trades, introduces the audience to the McMahons, a well-to-do but troubled family headed by the cold and aloof Mr. McMahon and the loving but highly distracted Mrs. McMahon. The McMahon's latest nanny has just quit out of exasperation at the indiscipline of the McMahon children, Stephanie and Shane, a fact that Mrs. McMahon only belatedly becomes aware of, due to her ongoing preoccupation with suffragette rallies. Upon learning of the situation, Mr. McMahon takes a personal hand in the hiring of a replacement and advertises for a stern authoritarian type, while Stephanie and Shane draft their own proposal for a fun person who would not be a tyrant. Although Mr. McMahon rejects their idea, tears up their ad and throws it in the fireplace, the note magically flies up the chimney. The next day there is a long queue of old (and thoroughly disagreeable, in the children's opinion) nanny candidates waiting at the McMahon's door. However, a strong gust of wind literally blows the queue away while Undertaker flies down with his urn to apply. The interview with Mr. McMahon goes quickly, when he is stunned to see this calmly defiant new nanny has responded to the children's ad (rather than his own) despite the fact he destroyed it. As he tries to fathom this mystery, Undertaker hires himself and begins work. The children face surprises of their own as they discover that Undertaker's method of arrival is only the beginning of his magical talents; he possesses a bottomless bodybag, and makes the children's disordered nursery tidy itself to the tune of "American Badass." The magic continues with an outing in the country with "screever" Steve Austin that begins by literally jumping into one of his chalk pavement drawings, and later having tea while suspended in midair with Taker's joking "Kane" who floats uncontrollably whenever he laughs. Mr. McMahon grows increasingly uncomfortable with his children's stories of their adventures and how they are enchanted by the new nanny. However, Taker effortlessly inverts his attempted dismissal of his services into a plan to take his children with him to the bank where he is employed. Unfortunately, the occasion takes a disastrous turn when Mr. HHH, Mr. McMahon's extremely roided employer, personally tries to persuade Shane to invest his money, which Shane intended for a local whore, to the point of stealing it out of the boy's hand. When Shane loudly protests, the other customers panic and start a run that forces the bank to suspend business. In the resulting chaos, the children flee in fear and wander into the slums of the East End of London. Fortunately, they literally run into Steve Austin, now employed as a chimney sweep. He takes them safely home while explaining that the incident at the bank does not mean their father hates them, but rather is a sign that he has preoccupying problems of his own. Upon arrival at the McMahon's home, a departing Mrs. McMahon hires Steve Austin to watch the children, and he ends up sweeping the chimney while the children watch. Taker arrives back from his day off to caution the children about the hazards of that activity. Sure enough, the children are sucked up the chimney to the roof, and Steve Austin and Taker follow to retrieve them. Taking advantage of the situation, Taker and Steve Austin lead a tour of the rooftops of London that concludes with a joyfully energetic dance with Steve Austin's chimney-sweep colleagues as they demonstrate their acrobatic skill to the music of "Glass Shatters". A volley of fireworks from the McMahon's eccentric neighbor, Hulk Hogan, sends the gathering back down the chimney into the McMahon home. Mr. McMahon arrives home, forcing Taker to conclude the festivities. McMahon then receives a phone call from work ordering him to return immediately for disciplinary action. As Mr. McMahon gathers his strength to face his superiors, Steve Austin points out that while Mr. McMahon does need to make a living, his offspring's childhood will come and go in a blink of an eye, and as a father he needs to be there for them while he can. A sombre and thoughtful Mr. McMahon proceeds to the bank where he is fired in the most humiliating way possible for causing the first run on the bank since 1773, when another officer loaned money to the British East India Company to help finance a shipment of The Great Khalli that was later tossed into Boston Harbor during the Boston Tea Party. However, after being left at a loss for words when ordered to give a statement about his dismissal, Mr. McMahon realizes the true priorities of life and gleefully uses Taker's all purpose word "Rollin'" to tweak Mr HHH. He then tells HHH one of Kane's jokes, and raucously departs to the amazement of his ex-colleagues. HHH mulls over the joke, finally "gets it" and floats up into the air, laughing... The next morning, the winds have changed and to the children's sorrow, Taker must depart. However, Mr. McMahon, now loving and joyful, reappears after a long night's disappearance with a mended kite for the children and an urge to play with his family. Mrs. McMahon also realizes that she's been neglectful of her children, and supplies a tail for the kite, using one of her suffragette ribbons. They all leave the house without a backward glance as Undertaker watches from a window. In the park with other kite-flyers, Mr. McMahon meets Mr. HHH Jr. who says that his father literally died laughing at the joke. Instead of mournful, the son is delighted his father died happy and rehires Mr. McMahon to fill the sudden opening. With his work done, Undertaker takes to the air with a farewell from Steve Austin.

Stupid Firefox...

To be fair, she's the one who wanted to go there, Whether a girl who's idea of a perfect first date is chinese fast food is the best person to mother your children is another thing. Spoony, yuou look like the sort of person who'd burn. Be careful with that Russian, she may have been a mirage. I want to know if Inc laid that chick.

I think that United have a great academy, but a big part of it is Fergusons handling of young players. If O'Shea, Fletcher or Wes Brown had come through at any other club (bar possibly Arsenal) they wouldn't be half the players they are now. You could add Kieran Richardson and Chris Eagles to that list, although they both moved to the club when they were in their mid teens. There are others on the edge of the first team who could break in soon, but I don't think Ferguson would want to blood them too soon. I don't think there are many teams relying on their youth teams any more, which is a shame. And as much as Liverpool fielded a weakened team, the win still pleased me greatly. We'll take what we can get.

I think any of the big four in England (Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea) will feel it if they fail to get into the Champions League. For Man U and Glazer, I think a large part of it is the debt, but there's also the good old British attitude of not wanting their club taken over by American types (which has gone now that you need a big backer to suceed in the Premiership). Most of the objections have gone now people have seen it's benefitted the side, but some are still saying it'll be a few years until the true effects are seen. Certainly, as soon as you start treating a football club as a business or an investment, you're in trouble. Arsenal, while they don't have any home grown players per se, have pretty much developed all the players they've bought in. Wenger will sign the best young players and make them world beaters. Similar to Unite in a way, but United have been more likely to spend 10 million plus on players. For the comparision between the Yankees and United, I have know idea who plays for the Yankees or who they support. Outside of Seinfield, which most people in the UK haven't seen, most haven't heard of Steinbrenner. I still know the Yankees, though, because they're a famous name in the sport. If they went out of business or sold all their best players, it wouldn't affect how well known they are. Onto the days fixtures. Good to see the minutes handclap becoming the standard mark of appreciation in football for former players. It's better than a minutes silence, IMHO. Man U win and Chelsea draw means that the titles set for Old Trafford, which is what they deserved. It'll take an almighty effort from Chelsea at OT and a slip up from Man U to stop them, which I can't see happening. Elsewhere, West Ham are continuing their march to safety, but a big win for Sheffield Utd today. I think West Ham may save themselves, but I've got no idea which of Fulham, Wigan of even Sheff U will go down. And most importantly of all, a win for Pompey over Liverpool. I'd gloat over 909, but I really don't think he cares. Oh, and Leeds relegated, in reality if not statistically. Leicester safe, which is good as I want Milan's boys to succeed.

Maybe you're gay.

I was massively underwhelmed by A Clockwork Orange.

me being black i would have beat his ass

Good luck for everybody in need of some tail.

I reckon Inc liked Amelie

Inc.

It looks like that guy is brandishing him as a weapon.

Think about it.

I went in expecting nothing, and it blew me away. Really well directed.

Has anybody seen Sunshine? I know it's release has been pushed back in the States, but it's the best film I've seen in the cinema in a long time.

In hindsight, the braintrust did well not to put the established posters in charge, considering what happened to UGS when we did that.

Recently, Dames and the mods have "decided" to put in three folder moderators to control the WWE folder. So, if they were to pick three mods for HD (as they should) who would you pick? My choices are CWM, Banky and FrozenBlockOfPiss.

Yes, a typo. No, I will not change.

Chers.

cunt

It's the ill what done it.

Oh, and I'm ill. Hence the shady picture and the posting.
