What are you watching tonight?

[Wandering Willy]

Cracking effort that. Big grin on my face all the way through it.

[Little Green Man]

Just watched last night's Thick Of It. Excellent stuff - managing to capture all that's ghastly about vacuous politicians and brain-dead late night phone-in radio. Best episode so far.

[Zulus Thousand of em]

Not watching MOTD2!

[Bruce Rioja]

Not watching MOTD2!

I am, but mainly for the Tottenham - Wigan game.

[TANGODANCER]

Not watching MOTD2!

First time for ages we'll get decent coverage, and I just can't bear to watch it again. Thank the Lord I no longer have to face the Mancs on Monday morning.

[General Mannerheim]

Just watched District 9, id heard it was good but it was totally not what I was expecting – still great though, really well done, and pretty funny! Top notch!!!

Kinda reminded me of Short Circuit a bit too, with the sort of misunderstood extraterrestrial thingy, just trying to get by - and the psychotic military general bloke trying to destroy it all the time?...

[William the White]

Final episode of Garrow's Law was good... i'll miss it... legal confrontation in an adversarial system is inherently dramatic. Especially when you strip away the boring bits... Tonight was on sedition and political rights to opposition, not quite clear and detailed enough, but still good sunday night drama...

[Prufrock]

After watching MOTD2 (how bad were Wigan, that could easily, easily have finished 15 or 16) I've been watching Paul Meron: The Series on 4od. Wonderfully surreal sketch show, recommended to anyone with a bit of time on their hands.

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.

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

Watched Frost/Nixon myself last night, wasn’t a ‘wow, would watch that again’ type of film but still very good, and interesting.

I am almost 30 years old, but I had never heard about the Frost/Nixon interviews before until this film came out and was nominated for all those Oscars. To me David Frost was the geezer off ‘Through the Keyhole’!

I had read a little on Watergate after that bit in Forest Gump when he see’s the torch lights flickering round some government office, and wondered once what suffix ‘gate’ meant. I had also read a little about Nixon, though mainly through Hunter S Thompson’s demonised characterisations – which to be honest is where my interest in the film probably stemmed.

Disappointingly, Nixon dosent seem as bad and evil as I’d hoped!?

[Lord Kangana]

I think the key to it all is that Nixon is coerced and cajoled by Frost into saying he has "no regrets" and that "in certain circumstances its ok for the president to break the law". Thats the real killer 30 seconds. The context of it is about 20 years of presidents breaking the law before and for ever after since; Gerald Ford took it upon himself to pardon him when he should have stood on trial. The guy who plays Nixon steals the show for me, even though Michael Sheen gets top billing.

And I agree, its not really a film that you can watch twice in quick succession, though I'll probably watch it again sometime in the future.

Quality film, really enjoyed it.

Nope.

New episode of Gavin & Stacey was better than i expected. Really hope its another good series, just got a feeling it might be a bit shit this time - them two milked it for all they could with that dreadful film and the tragic sketch show - and were slated for them quite rightly. then all of a sudden they pop up with a brand new series of G&S!? just hope its not a bit rushed?

I enjoyed it too and I also had the same worries. Still, it was only the first episode, so I'll reserve judgement on it for the next few weeks
