  1. watched a few films over the last few days,

     

    The Last Samurai

     

    Really liked this, and i really like Tom Cruise dont care what anyone says he puts in a fine performance in this alongside Ken Watanabe. Awesome visuals and a great story, although Billy Connolly is slightly out of place isn't he?

     

    Hot Rod

     

    Not tremendously funny, but a fun watch for 90 mins.

     

    The Way

     

    A good little film, a treasure and fine performance from Martin Sheen. It has even inspired me to do the walk itself.

     

    Open Range

     

    Adored this. I love Coster. It was so old fashioned in everything it did, just felt like a good old fashioned Western with a lot of heart. Robert Duvall is class too. The final shootout was mesmerising.

  2. Aw I thought it was craptacular, I think its the only film I didnt enjoy this year. And you know obviously I wanted to love it, Scorsese and all! I just thought it was rubbish, i hated Hugo the character, the acting was woeful on his part, the girl was incredibly annoying, Ben Kingsley admittedly was good but after about 2 hours I didn't care. I just found it so, incredibly boring. Its the only film I've been so bored in I wanted to leave. I love film history, I love the films of Georges M

  3. where is Drive? Hugo should have gotten nominated for nothing, its fucking shit. Wouldn't have minded a 50/50 nomination somewhere. Hope Chico and Rita gets the animated Oscar and I'm glad Moneyball got some love. Meh to them all. I assume The Artist is gonna win all in its path anyway and it prob deserves it!

     

    Really want to see The Descendants and War Horse now

  4. When I was a kid I did actually think that all cats were female and all dogs were male.

     

    My sister still thinks that, and she’s in her 20s.

     

    I can understand the line of thought though. Dogs are up for jumping in mud puddles and fighting, cats pretend that they don’t have shits and then talk about you behind your back.

     

    As for snakes, I watched this dead smart documentary on one of the Discovery channels a while ago about a woman who fell in love with snakes. “Fatal attractions” it was called. She became completely alienated from humans and started to think the snakes loved her back. One day, in her trailer park home, she let the pure venomous ones roam free while she cleaned the tanks. She got bit, and rather than seeking help (which she knew would lead to the execution of the snake by authorities) she just sat there and waited to die. That’s how much she loved snakes, she died of it. When they found her they killed all the snakes anyway.

     

    Let that be a lesson to all you little snake charmers.

     

     

    bobbins

     

    Epic.

     

    burst out laughing when i read that. Good times. I'm allergic to Cats anyway, but dogs are so much cooler.

  5. Tonight on BBC4, Jonathan Meades has a three parter on France starting. I love his stuff, he is one of the few genuine intellects presenting on TV. The programme is on at nine if you're interested.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b019m5yy

     

    Cheers for that, would have passed me by if i hadn't seen it here.

     

    Just finished with episode 3 of the Story of Musicals, highly recommended. Also the BBCs Iplayer volume goes up to 11, I've only just noticed that.

  6. Am I a bit late to the party with Homeland? Just watched the first episode and really liked it (apart from his stupid daughter) I'm liking this dynamic and the cast.

     

    Can we get Damian Lewis in proper movies already? I feel I've been emotionally attached since Band of Brothers. Also glad Morena Baccarin has found some fame (Firefly :love: ) with this. Of course Inigo Montoya himself seals the deal. Swish.

     

    Can anyone recommend American Horror Story? Whats it like, is it scary and is it worth my time? Also almost done with Season 3 of Mad Men, one more episode to go, and expecting a great finale, then onto Season 4 and no doubt VIETNAM all over the show.

     

     

  7. Does anyone know how far in advance Impacr Zone tapings are announced? I'm actually going to Florida in June/July and will be at Universal Studios, so I'd like to see if/when Impact's going to be taped and try and work round that, so I can go see an Impact taping. Even better if there's a PPV going on then. I feel there's been a lack of "STING 4 NXT" signs that needs addressed.

     

    Also, is Anderson injured? I mean, I fucking hate the guy, but I just noticed he's been non-existant for the past while. I'm loving it, but was just curious about why he's absent.

     

    they usually have a list up on the website a few months in advance you could check there!

     

    I have no idea about Anderson, I'm really glad I haven't seen him as I hate him too, but the fact that he might just turn up at some point and challenge for the Title scares me :(

  8. I remember in a discussion about the film Zodiac, some people on here were talking about having read some of the books written about the subject. Just wondering on what people would recommend (Have just watched the film for third time and it is just as good as I remember, possibly my favorite Fincher film and the documentary about the killings I watched was really good).

     

    I've only ever read the Zodiac book thats by Robert Graysmith himself, for days I was just as obsessed about it as he is in the film, haven't read any other books about it though, but yeah get the one written by Graysmith, its prob all you need.

  9. Onto Season Two of Mad Men now, and really really enjoying it. Last episode I watched was 'A Night To Remember' and i thought it was fantastic, finally I am starting to see shades to Joans character who I absolutely hated up until this point, Betty becomes way better too and I am really intruiged by her relationship with Don and her own self. Also the slow unravelling of Don is amazing, like in 'The Gold Violin' SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

    "You're not Don Draper"

    gave me chills.

     

    add me to the list of people gutted about Bored To Death being cancelled, loved it :(
