What are you watching tonight?

[Zulus Thousand of em]

Don't know what I'm watching tonight but i'm really looking forward to The Devil's Whore on Wednesday.

I didn't know she made house calls.

[ratbert]

Spooks tonight, never miss it.

Just finished my third box set of The Wire. Now I'll have to buy the other two, dammit.

Not as good as that other HBO offering, the Sopranos, as the characters aren't as compelling, but very well crafted TV nonetheless. Think I'll give Baltimore a miss though.

Spot on.

Never been better TV, and better-sustained, than the Sopranos. Though The Wire also excellent.

well put it this way, I do one of the jobs they think they'll be qualified to do and they're not. In fact, most are barely literate and have none of the softer skills they need, I've lost count of the number who I've seen who have been less than useles. There's just a glut of graduates coming along with these 2:2s in these mickey mouse subjects, they're two a penny. I want someone with a brain, if you've picked Media Studies, you've gone for the soft option and not thought, you're immediately at the back of the queue.

Well if your company is employing them they clearly ain't too far back in the queue. And if they're that bad why not have a more scrutinous employment process? Or throw every application form with 'media' in the degree spec. into the bin, as bobo has said he does?

I've said my piece on media students before on here, in some long lost thread, as I did it at A Level. I'll save it for now as I'm blatantly going to get shot down for it.

Where does it say we are? Perhaps your literacy and comprehension skills need a bit of a brush up?

She'll be round at yours if you press the right button.

Not proud, obviously.

Well if you have 'lost count of the number who I've seen who have been less than useless' I would have thought you'd have had a working relationship with them before such a condemning judgement. And the line 'I do one of the jobs they think they'll be qualified to do' suggests this regards your current line of work so there's my working sir, do I get the extra mark for that?

I think I remember you saying it in the last forum barney over this too (something along the lines of 'loads come to us every year and aren't up to scratch'). But seeing as I can't see us ever agreeing on this for a while, I'll bow out.

Excellent choice.

Do you know what an "interview" is? Maybe you should look it up before making a cock of yourself.

Nah, it's worth a watch if someone hasn't seen it before, if only to laugh at the lad's mum's hairdo.
And sentimental is certainly one way of decribing it.

Forgot to Sky+ 24: Redemption last night. Hopefully they'll show it again.

Media Studies does what all the other subjects do, give you skills. I'm not using much of the knowledge gained at uni, but plenty of the skills. Same with the psychology and history and art students around the office. If employers are chucking them straight in the bin, they're either very lucky to have so many applicants, and in those cases fair dos and you have to start ejecting somewhere, or they're narrow minded.

Did the same myself. It's repeated on Sky 2 tonight.

I watched an incredible Swedish vampire film last weekend, called Let The Right One In: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139797/

Watch it if you can, it's absolutely brilliant. The last time I've seen child actors put on as good a performance as this was probably Pan's Labyrinth.
