Went to watch 'The Other Guys' with that Will Farrell character in.

Rubbish. He's not funny at all. Neither was the film apart from one scene in which a fight happened a funeral, in complete silence.

Went to see Dinner for Schmucks last night. Not my choice, but twas ok. A couple of pretty funny bits made it worthwhile.

Also watched a documentary about Hansie Cronje on iPlayer yesterday which was superb. Interesting video clips from the inquiry following it all showing him out to be a pretty broken man.

[General Mannerheim]

did you hear Kermodes review of Dinner for Schmucks?

i presume you didnt otherwise you wouldnt have gone, he was scathing to say the least.

Nope. As I said, wasn't my choice and turned up with no expectation whatsoever, so maybe that helped. It was ok.

The French original is laugh out loud funny. Can only imagine the Yanks have ruined yet another good idea.

Question Time - who is the smug fcuker on the left?

[General Mannerheim]

I really liked A Prophet, but still not as good as Mesrine!

-------------------------

slightly off topic but... Has anyone walked up Dale Street in Manchester the last couple of days? Hell fire i thought i was in Godfather 2, just needed to find the Genco Olive Oil Company! Seriously the whole street has been turned into a film set to look like 1940’s New York, its for the new Captain America film! Filming has started and will be on site there for a good few weeks, they are filming a 4 minute car chase scene round the Northern Quarter apparently too. I was like a fat kid in a sweet shop - all the camera equipment, lighting rigs, actors trailers etc etc, and the detail of the set is unbelievable!

I was around when they were filming the Guy Ritchie Sherlock flick but it was nothing like the scale of this. Quality!

It begs the question though - why are they going to the time, the trouble and the expense of filming one tiny bit of it in Manchester?

honestly, if you come and check out the size and scale and detail of the operation, you'd think they were filming the whole thing here, they have got to be doing a bit more than a car chase. even the items in the shop window are real labled period props, surely pointless if all its used for is to show a car whizzing past!?

happen its miles cheaper than closing a main street in New York for a week?

been a really interesting week, they've been firing tommy guns, blowing up cars, hoying people through windows! you cant see a great deal now the sets closed but its pretty good when you wander round the back and see folk in full costume moochin about and all the cameras n'that.

good website with vids & photos... http://captainamericafilmingmanchester.co.uk/

Question Time - who is the smug fcuker on the left?

He's the Editor of New Statesman, and someone that, quite incredibly, likes to think that his opinion is actually of significance.

He'd fit in well here, then!

He's the Editor of New Statesman, and someone that, quite incredibly, likes to think that his opinion is actually of significance.

He isn't the editor, rather the senior politics editor, and also current affaris editor at Channel 4, and as such is surely or more relevance and has opinions more informed than many guests on the show. Carol Voderman springs to mind. The mental b*tch. He does struggle for likeability though, granted !

Currently watching it on iPlayer, personal highlight so far being John Redwood describe potential economic recovery as a 'win'. Would it be epic John?

[William the White]

Watched Dead Man's Shoes last night - following recommendations on here. glad i did. Really enjoyed the comedy especially, the crazy drug scenes, the Western revenge parody, the soundtrack. Hardly a masterpiece, too predictable for that, not bold enough, for me, in depicting the treatment of the young brother. But gripping throughout and glad I've seen it.

I hear what you are saying, but apart from the MPs which guests opinions are significant? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding and you think the (non-MP) guests' opinions are of little significance, but they, unlike him, seem to know it? I could certainly see your point there. I think he talks a lot of sense, but he's an irritating twunt about it.
