What are you watching tonight?

[Verbal]

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.

[Bruno]

So what didn't you like about Zatoichi? I found it most watchable.

I wrote: "So very bad it was brilliant". I watched it because the actors all looked like something out of a Charlie Chaplin film, I didn't anywhere say I didn't like it or I'd have switched it off.

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

Is that one that's worth watching, LK?

Very yes. Surely you've seen it before, Bruce? Its 9 on TCM, BTW.

So you said. Pass on.

Crikey, you're hard work.

I'm currently in a room with that stupid jungle programme on - I'm going to have to leave.

[thebish]

Billie Piper always reminds me of Bingo out of the Banana Splits.

that is SPOT and indeed ON!

[TANGODANCER]

Just to save you the indignity of being like El Coronel: I studied martial arts years ago. I like Ninja/Samurai films and appreciate the skills that go into fights of the most mundane sort. I liked Hero, House of Flying daggers, The Last Samurai and years ago, Kung Fu, etc, because I like the Japanese/Chinese/Korean cultures that went with the lives of Samurai etc, most of whom were poets, painters, gardeners etc. Same applies with the Shaolin and there views on life. I have also read The Book of Five Rings and many others. The action filming and special effects in these films are superb. Hope this answers your question.

Very much so, indeed I have also studied martial arts, especially the work of Yuen Woo-Ping and the wire-fu gang. See, that wasn't so hard was it?

If you like those films (ignoring the aberration that was Last Samurai) then I recommend you check out the new Jet Li film, Red Cliff.

[Bruno]

In the spirit of our new-found friendship I've put Hero back on, to erase all memory of that bloody jungle thing.

[General Mannerheim]

Just watched 'Moon' - not really into my sci fi, but really enjoyed this! very good.

The Wire >>> District 9 >>> Easter Promises >>> Public Enemies.

In my opinion.

I don't even know if they're still in print, but you should look out for two books "What is Karate?" and "This is Karate" by Mazatatsu Oyama. This guy is freakingly frightening. Amongst the things he did (photographed in the books) are: butting a telegraph pole with his head until it actually moved, removing the horn of a fighting bull with a sword hand strike and cracking the skull of the same bull (which was x-rayed as proof.) He used to sit under a waterfall to meditate, and, on his habit of hitting sand, rice and pebbles with his fists and fingertips, came out with the following: "Not recommended for those who play piano or violin".
