Which is your favourite Lazlo book Cover?

First of all, a Happy and Peaceful Christmas to you all and may you have a Happy New Year.

I am extending the Competition to Win a Bottle of Bubbly until 1 January 2015. You will need sign up for the Newsletter if you want to enter.

I would also like you to know that Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate – Second Edition will be FREE on Amazon from 29 December until 2 January.

Now on to the poll.

Which is your favourite Lazlo Ferran Cover?

I have just completed updating all my book covers so now I would like your opinion. There is no prize but I hope you take the time, while drinking the last glass of wine and eating the last mince pie, to take the poll. I have put up all the covers below the poll but they are probably going to show up very random here because there are so many and wordpress doesn’t like it. Enjoy!

Who Plays the Best Drunk in a Film?

It occurred to me the other day to do another vote – this time on the best drunk in a film. There must be loads but the funny thing is that I can’t remember too many off the top of my head. So suggestions please to add to my short list:

1. Walter Matthau in Earthquake (this is also definitely my funniest)
2. Lee Marvin in Paint Your Wagons
3. Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou (I’m still going to check out Paul Newman in The Sting though)
4. Paul Newman in The Hudsucker Proxy
5. Shelley Winters in Alfie
6. Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now (thanks for suggestion El’Phantasmo)
7. I forgot Nick Cage in Leaving Las Vegas
8. Embarrassing one this but Oliver Reed in Oliver! Okay, okay I know the film is a bit of old hokey’ but he really is very menacing – and he was Carol Reed’s nephew.
9. Okay – the butler in Dinner for One, although I am not sure I have seen this. I will look on youtube
10. Cary Grant in North by North West. Actually this is pretty good too.

I could add George Peppard in The Blue Max and indeed the book is about alcoholism but this is barely touched upon in the film.

Okay I think ten is enough. This time we will leave it 6 months before a final vote in case others come up and so that we have a chance to see some of the nominations we haven’t yet seen.
