Plot got a bit silly but thought much of it was well acted and tense. Love Emily Blunt. One of my imaginary girlfriends.thebish wrote:family fillum night..

That's a relief. I did think it was earlier than 96. Had it down as very late 80's first couple in the 90's. Think I only went once. Nearly always in the Conti.

Think I might nip down to the cinema tomorrow to watch that David Brent film.

Will be watching it at some point, but I just know I'll be comparing it to The Office and I also know it won't be as good.Bruce Rioja wrote:Think I might nip down to the cinema tomorrow to watch that David Brent film.
So even if it's good in its own right, I'll probably be disappointed.
Whilst Brent was the focal point of The Office, it was the also the other characters who made it what it was. and that, in my view, is the greatest British comedy programme of all time (controversial - Pun intended)

Re: What are you watching tonight?
For me, Boris has nailed it there. In the film it's the job of every other character (bar 3) to treat Brent with absolute disdain, to such a degree that you (or I) end up feeling sorry for the guy. A good few out-loudy laughs, plenty of toe-curling (especially the song lyrics) worth watching but short of the mark set by The Office.
I'd be really interested to learn what others make of it.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Fillms pretty good. Had me laughing a fair bit. I always try not to compare things like that - ultimately its not an immediate follow on and its supposed to be different...but yeah impossible not too I suppose. Just give it a go!

At Home again this weekend for Behemoth. You'd think a documentary about open cast mining in Mongolia would be pretty dull. You'd be right! Some amazing cinematography and the shock at some of the conditions folk are working in - imagine the grand canyon on fire, collapsing in on itself with 700 trucks trundling up and down - couldn't quite rescue it for me. 5/10

Imperium. Harry Potter guy, Daniel Ratcliffe, doing quite a creditable job as an undercover guy in a white supremecy conspiracy. Watchable.

Re: What are you watching tonight?
Would like to see the David Brent film, the worry for me though, as someone who thinks the Office is one of the (if not the) finest pieces of comedy drama ever produced, is that it just won't live up to it. I find comedies turned into film length things rarely work and whilst I appreciate it isn't the office and is something very different I fear tainting of one of my favourite things here.

Some good stuff elsewhere on the list, but is that not pretty much just a list of every comedy of the century that hasn't bombed or been classed as "BBC family humour"?

Dunno whether to be happy or sad that I've seen just 4 of them.
