Re: What are you watching tonight?
This morning my gaffer's brought me in a DVD, a per pros nowt other than he thinks I'll enjoy it, a film called Conspiracy with Kenneth Brannagh and Colin Firth in it. As I'm clearly now obliged to watch it - is it any good? 

May the bridges I burn light your way

Given those two bits, I'd say it was great, right up your street.Bruce Rioja wrote:This morning my gaffer's brought me in a DVD, a per pros nowt other than he thinks I'll enjoy it, a film called Conspiracy with Kenneth Brannagh and Colin Firth in it.

I think it's truly excellent. It's a dramatised account of the Wannsee conference where the 'final solution' was laid out. Totally chilling!Bruce Rioja wrote:This morning my gaffer's brought me in a DVD, a per pros nowt other than he thinks I'll enjoy it, a film called Conspiracy with Kenneth Brannagh and Colin Firth in it.

Watched an old 2001 film, The Last Castle. Life in an American military prison with all the usual "God Save America" Marine stuff you'd expect. Passable as a film, but well worth the watch for a staggering performance by the late James Gandolfini. Absolutely brilliant portrayal of a sadistic prison govenor.

Yup. Great film. Love Gandolfini. Have you seen The Mexican TD?

Wasn't the best film, but I loved him in Killing Them Softly. Haven't seen The Mexican yet.Gary the Enfield wrote:TANGODANCER wrote:Watched an old 2001 film, The Last Castle.

Watching the Glastonbury acts in the best way possible. In the comfort of my living room. Loving the retro acts this year - New Order last night and ELO, St Ettiene this afternoon. Excellent

Watched ELO. Jeff Lynne had the auto-tuner turned up to Spinal Tap's 11, I see. They were still quite ggod, but far from what I'd hoped for.Harry Genshaw wrote:Watching the Glastonbury acts in the best way possible. In the comfort of my living room.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Have you watched this yet Bruce? I think its an excellent piece of drama, but it requires me to be in a mood for concentrating, it' s not exactly light-hearted.Bruce Rioja wrote:This morning my gaffer's brought me in a DVD, a per pros nowt other than he thinks I'll enjoy it, a film called Conspiracy with Kenneth Brannagh and Colin Firth in it.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
I started to watch it, LK, and pretty much immediately realised that it would require a far greater investment of my attention than I had to spare on that particular evening, so I've postponed it, possibly until this weekend.Lord Kangana wrote:Have you watched this yet Bruce?

I watched Palio the other night. A film about the allowed corruption, of a centuries old and brutal twice yearly Horse Race in Siena, Italy.
It's in subtitles for the snobs, so you lot will like it.
