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.......

I found those endless massed battle scenes to be pretty much the same in every film and none of the characters seemed to be drawn in a way that was complex enough to be interesting - except perhaps Gollum...

I think you're the first person I've ever heard say anything bad about that film
I once had an argument with someone about this film - it lasted days - it all came apart when I realised that I had confused "Mystic River" (which he was talking about) with "A River Runs through it" (which I was talking about).

I told him it was a huge pile of mawkish toss and was mystified by his description - he, likewise about mine!

I still haven't seen Mystic River - but A River Runs Through It is cack! 8)

Actually, come to think of it - I am even now mixing up my films - and history is repeating itself!

I do, of course, mean "The River Wild" - not "A River run through it"

River Wild is a mawkish pile of doodoos (the very irritating Meryl Streep defeats two armed robbers while floating down a river with rapids in it...)

The films were never, ever going to match the epic storytelling of the books.

As a cinematic experience? Loved 'em. But there were more holes in the film than Blackburn, Lancashire.

Just watched last night's The Trip. I'm 'getting it' now. It's quite a brave thing of Coogan to do - plot and reflect his ailing star.

Some very funny moments, too.

I enjoyed it too. Although I can't decide whether it's a vehicle for Coogan, the 'becoming slightly over-exposed' Brydon or a free advert for the Cumbrian fine dining lobby.
