What are you watching tonight?

[Little Green Man]

Been watching the Johnny Cash / Folsom Prison thing on BBC4. I never realised Folsom Prison Blues was half-inched from someone else.

The original sounds just as good.

New episode of Gavin & Stacey was better than i expected. Really hope its another good series, just got a feeling it might be a bit shit this time - them two milked it for all they could with that dreadful film and the tragic sketch show - and were slated for them quite rightly. then all of a sudden they pop up with a brand new series of G&S!? just hope its not a bit rushed?

Am I the only person who hates it and finds it really irritating?

The wee blonde is nice though

Anyway, All The Presidents Men is on at 9 on some funny cable channel near film4.

why did i choose this night to be stuck in the library? "Need" to see this film, and read the book.

Watched Frost/Nixon the other night for the first time. Cracking stuff, the seeds of the modern failure in politics is all right there.

Watched Frost/Nixon myself last night, wasn’t a ‘wow, would watch that again’ type of film but still very good, and interesting.

I am almost 30 years old, but I had never heard about the Frost/Nixon interviews before until this film came out and was nominated for all those Oscars. To me David Frost was the geezer off ‘Through the Keyhole’!

I had read a little on Watergate after that bit in Forest Gump when he see’s the torch lights flickering round some government office, and wondered once what suffix ‘gate’ meant. I had also read a little about Nixon, though mainly through Hunter S Thompson’s demonised characterisations – which to be honest is where my interest in the film probably stemmed.

Disappointingly, Nixon dosent seem as bad and evil as I’d hoped!?

The whole point of Nixon in the film is him trying to publicly exonerate himself from his misgivings.

Not the greatest film, and one in which I think Sheen is completely swamped by Langella's performance.

Nope. It's terrible. James Cordon is about as funny as Auschwitz

[General Mannerheim]

finally got to see Inglourious Basterds last night.

Tremendous!

pretty funny too, had a real LOL at Lt Raine's knowledge of Italian at the premier! haha, quality.

Enemy at the Gates is on TV tonight. Is it any good, anybody seen it?

I thought it was excellent.

But I'm not going to say anything about the space ship in case it spoils it.

absolutely superb film!

[Lord Kangana]

Spoiled a little by the schmaltzy "love interest". Stretching it a bit in history's biggest battle. Still, good film, and they had to sell it to the yanks.

and the English speaking German & Russian characters, which dents its authenticity slightly.

summat Inglourious didnt let itself down with.

[William the White]

Pissed off Garrow's Law finished and we're back to normal mundane Sunday mush...

Gonna play some music...

[Verbal]

Watched 'Shooting Dogs' in prep for my presentation on filmic representations of the Rwandan genocide.

Very good, though I'm not sure it does a good enough job at looking into the reasons for non involvement 'outside' Rwanda. Very good though, as I say.

Though I still maintain '100 Days' is the best film to represent what happened. By a long way.

Ah, see, The Boy in Striped Pyjamas, that's the bit that I struggled with at first. All spoke in RP, did they?

Steve Zissou and the Life Aquatic for me. Looking forward to it.

that totally spoilt that film for me, at least EATG they try and use a bit of accent.

Have you read the book, brucie? Absolutely brilliant, proper tear jerker toward the end. Horrendously guilty actions seen through the eyes of innocence.

I haven't/didn't, Verbal. I really wish that I had though.

The film was the stuff of nightmares. Deeply disturbing, but a film everybody should watch.

Well, I watched it and thought it well made, well cast and well acted. Didn't find the language thing too much of a problem. Very good film . Thanks for the heads up.
