I get to Train Someone or The ORIGINAL Ladykillers

So I get to train someone at work today... ahh the joy of corrupting people... :) Seriously, I am both the best and the worst trainer ever. I tell it like it is, both in what you have to do and how to avoid doing it. I probably single handedly corrupted an entire floor staff while at Zellers with my tips on avoiding work. On the plus side, I tell people how to do the job well too!
Last night, Dave and I rented the original "Ladykillers" starring Alec Guiness and Peter Sellers. It was pretty good. Very low key and subtle. There were no real huge gag scenes just typical British dark humor. Alec Guiness looked almost like a corpse as he was all pasty and slimy. Peter Sellers was only a bit player but was very Irish. Judging by the trailers for the Coen brothers remake, it seemed to be a little more "obvious." That movie looked more over the top. The robbers were drilling through to a safe, Tom Hanks was a Foghorn Leghorn type southerner, and the woman was a sassy black mama. The British version was much simpler. There was no drilling, being in the house was just a cover, Alec Guiness was just a smooth con man, and the old woman was just a typical sweet old lady. There was a little zaniness, but not "over the top" zaniness. With only having heard things about the remake, I can unsafely say that the original is far superior.
I am going to stop the downloading for a while as it is taking up too much of my time and I have other things that I should be doing...
