I saw it for sale at a Blockbuster and because there were no Rating Bulls*** on it, I wanted it.

Spoke to the Blockbuster Guy and he said he had reversed them (the covers).

I think one could get in trouble for not having the bloody ratings.

I've always wanted to have a company making DVDs, and have the ratings guide as only a sticker.

but ratings advice has to be on the disc.

The movie (the loved ones) is adverised in stickers on some of my TNA Dvds.

There's also a 1960s Australian Band with that name and there is a new band from America.
I had an EP of there's, you can find them on Fat Wreck Chords

Agree

Big fan of Gatiss from LOG and Psychoville - part 3 was ace, but part 1 made me actively seek out the films mentioned = all superb

me too, but i didnt think he was owt to do with psychoville? you ever see Nighty Night? he was class in that! - his voice is terrifying tho! good interview with him from Danny Baker on his podcast atm too.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Yes I downloaded that at weekend, will listen asap as I love them both.

He was in Psychoville S1 in the one-shot Hitchcock episode, which was my favourite one

As LL says, he appeared in an episode, but nothing else. Psychoville was written by Shearsmith and Pemberton (the other League of Gents).

Have to say, I prefer LoG to Psychoville.

[Lofthouse Lower]

As do I, but I think Psychoville is excellent too.

League however remains one of my all-time favourites, Dave.

Latest from LF is Amor es Perros (Roughly translated as Love is a Bitch). I think it's a fantastic film - though the scenes of dog fighting were so violent and vicious that I was turning away from the screen.

It's about transgressive or tainted love of various kinds - (in a tough, poor district man falls in love with his elder brother's wife, in wealthy Mexico man leaves wife and two daughters for famous model, man who left wife and daughter twenty plus years ago to fight as a guerrilla against the government tries to find a way back to the daughter who thinks he is dead, two brothers are business partners, and both want to kill the other and look for a contract killer).

The different strands keep crossing.

It's also about dogs - stray street dogs, fighting dogs, pampered pet dogs.

Turned it off I couldnt watch dogs in distress, though I know Im missing a damn good film!

Have you tried the Argentinian film I was banging on about a while ago yet; "The Secret In Their Eyes"? Ah what a great film

Yep. It was your first post that made me go for it. Gave it 5 stars on LF. And posted about it on here. It's a fantastic film.

I know what you mean about the dog fighting sequences, as I posted above, I was stood up turning away, almost out of the room during those... but it's worth trying to persevere - it really is an excellent film.

Tonight I watched The Spirit of the Beehive, from Spain in 1973, when that total bastard Franco was coming to the end of the long murderous crawl on his 35 year Fascist dictatorship, and allegory was the only way to slip in a subversive message. It's really good.

Can't do better than this review...

It's bugging me, but I think elements of the story - and even scenes from the film - are reminiscent of the 1961 really sweet film 'Whistle Down the Wind'. Just ordered this from LF!

And finally watched Whistle Down the Wind... Did look like it might have influenced 'Beehive' marginally... but was like a message from a distant era of innocence, of Sunday schools, and universal belief in Jesus, and unchallenged parental authority... It's 50 years old, but felt like it came from a different planet... Enjoyed it, in a way...

[William the White]

Watched the Louis Malle Lacombe Lucien... but not all of it...

The man always directs at a stately pace, but this was slower than having a man with a red flag walking before it...

Gave it up at 59 mins...

[Wandering Willy]

Watched Emmerdale.

Made it all the way through.

[Bruce Rioja]

The good people are sending me The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. All well and good - only, Dumbo that I am, I hadn't realised that this is the third of three, I thought that it was the second of two!

[Lofthouse Lower]

those films did nothing for me.

Lovefilm have sent me The Fighter and The Exam, which will go on a pile with True Grit that I intend to get through this weekend.

[General Mannerheim]

ace, shit, ace

Well, I quite enjoyed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, see, and I've got a nowt-to-do evening (by design) this evening.
