What are you watching tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

It'll be prog night tonight, a bandmate's coming round and we'll be absorbing programmes culled from the last fortnight across BBC Four and Sky Arts. Pink Floyd, Genesis, 24hr Technicolor Dream...

Aye, I'm hoping to go see this one soon.
Don't call it a comeback

Saw 'Role Models' last night - really, really poor. Occasional laugh, but you come out feeling dirty...

I'm going to see Australia tonight...

Half out of a quiet night at home I watched "The Firm" again last night. Well acted all round (never yet seen a bad film yet with Gene Hackman in it) it still owed much to the plot from yet another of John Grisham's excellent law novels.

Just thinking the same myself. Bought it on DVD a few months ago. One of the most ridiculous films I've ever seen.

Nah. The Tom Cruz, Hackman Maffia one. Not seen the football one and, from what you both say, won't bother doing.

Haven't seen it, but if it really is unmissable on the terms you suggest then I might investigate!
Look forward to exchanging views on it. I'm sitting here chuckling at memories of some of the more grossly sentimental scenes.
Feck me, you were so right.

I know what BWFCI is saying about not going to see Hollywood blockbusters but Australia is poor to a degree way way beyond the "well, what did you expect?" level!

Nicole Kidman is implausibly unconvincing... and I'm not just talking about her embarrassing English accent.

If it weren't so long, I would agree with you that it is so bad as to be unmissable. As it is, people should trust us and not surrender three hours of their lives.


(Oh and I'm embarrassed to say that my date did go for the hanky at one point... :oops: )

Surely you could use the same review you gave role models for Australia? :wink:

FWIW i saw Role Models on Saturday. Thought it was good for what it was, which is just an infantile comedy with loose morals. Still, made me laugh which I guess says more about me than anything else.

Faults with it...the woman who ran the Sturdy Wings centre just got more annoying as it went on; the continued gay innuendos were funny to begin with but cringeworthy the 234395838th time. Also, the ending was pap.

But it was made to make me laugh, and it did that, so can't really complain to much.

It's true, I have watched some rubbish this last week!

I agree with you on the Sturdy Wings woman... she really started to grate, didn't she? I agree, there were a few laughs in there, but it was generally pretty poor and you're right - the ending was awful.

Perhaps you can help me out - what was that bit with the sleeping pills all about?!

Yeah...it was a shame cos she wasn't bad to begin with, but by the end I wanted her to choke on that hot dog (wtf was that about anyway?!)

And no idea on the sleeping pills...I would've thought they would bewould be the last thing to reach for in that situation.

Enemy at the Gates was on last night - despite all the so called factual inaccuracies, I still think it’s a good film.
Not just because Rachel Weiz gets her arse out either!
