Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted May 4 Paid Members Share Posted May 4 Birmingham has approximately 35 miles worth of stretches of canals - apparently this is more than Venice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to Venice but I'd like to think thier canal paths are also lined with tramps and drunks getting sucked off on a Saturday night.

Only in Italy can a city that stinks of shit in the summer, and that is slowly sinking into the sea be considered a romantic destination. No one pretends that Brum is romantic, even the Saturday night towpath denizens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 9 Paid Members Share Posted May 9 Yesterday I learned that back in 1984, Robert Altman made a speculative fiction film about Richard Nixon. It's a one man show, one location film that imagines Nixon losing his mind in his study while pretending to give a deposition about his role in Watergate. Nixon is played by UKFF favourite Philip Baker Hall and it could be his greatest ever performance, joy boy. No idea how I'd never heard of this before (I'm a huge Altman and Hall fan) but it's really excellent and unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 The other day I learned that Freddie Prinze Jr was once a WWE writer, and was apparently quite highly regarded, and nearly head of creative or Smackdown. I suppose it stands to reason that people in TV/Film could work in wrestling but I was still surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
