That was on today?!?? I thought it was scheduled for friday? Oh 
well...As long as nothing new was revealed. 

I guess the positive side is that I missed Rosie's awful "British" 
accent. I heard it before and she sounded like a Valley Girl with a 
stuffy nose.

I'm happy the movie is an All-Brit cast. I had a hard enough time 
dealing with Rosie as Betty Rubble. I wonder which character Robin 
Williams wanted to play. (I hope he didn't want to play Dumbledore!)
