Not now. Oldman was good, but just didn't have the weight that Guinness brought to the role.

We watched it recently ( on iPlayer iirc ): Guinness is perfect as Smiley. Just watching the story unfold was a pleasure, and the way he lets people talk themselves into the trap...

The Famous Music Sample That Originated From a 1910 Stravinsky Orchestral Composition Synthet looked at the "Orchestra Hit", a famous staccato sample that came from Igor Stravinsky's 1910 composition "The Firebird Suite".

I am astonished at your staggering dishonestly. You know full well that's not what he said. If anyone wants the truth to what Zack Polanksi actually said, here's the full video. The original poster is flat out lying that Polanski wants to sell heroin in supermarkets www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds2_...
