What are you watching tonight?

However - 'Framed' on BBC 1 at 8.30 looks promising. It is, according to the Guardian 'at root about the transformative power of art...'

I should watch that, although I don't know if it'll leave me feeling even more or somewhat less cynical.

It's in comedy mode - so the acid test is whether it's funny...

Ah right, cheers. I thought that it'd be the great art debate all over again.

Well, it just says Freeview Nine in the tele mag, so I just point the remote at the set and push button nine. Works for me.

Prufrock (and anyone else that's interested),

Hey, I'm no technophobe (don't know what it means but it sounds good). That's why I get idiot-proof tele-mags. Just do what it says on the tin.

Magical programme.. What else is there to say?

Watched the latest Wuthering Heights tonight (wife taped the two parts last week, the DVD version is out Monday). Always a sombre and joyless tale but this was well done enough. Caught the sense of the period well and didn't add frills.
Effectively, Emily Bronte told a ghost story and I couldn't fault the production. Worth a watch.

Edinburgh fireworks out of the back window - washed down with a bottle of Vinsobres Cotes du Rhone - wonderful!

[William the White]

Saw Almodovar's 'Broken Embraces' at the cornerhouse tonight.

Just excellent - very typical Almodovar - complex. layered plot, tense and sometimes very funny, the failures of love at the centre of the move.

And, most typical of all, yet another glorious, brilliant performance by Penelope Cruz, who Almodovar himself calls his muse.

This, like 'Volver' (the last Almodovar i saw) was a movie I felt i could have watched all over again immediately. Volver, in fact, returns for one screening later this month. I'll be there.

The Lives of Others was a first for me in terms of watching a film with subtitles. I did wonder in advance how I'd get on with them, and to be honest, I forgot that I was reading them after a while.
I'm not sure whether that says more about the quality of the film or more about me.

Anyway, tonight I've just watched us controversially lose in the The Master's Grand Final against bloody Tranmere!
So I'm going to bed in a huff, shortly!

I know people who won't go to see a film because it has subtitles - how much great cinema are you missing?

I've watched a lot of such films. Many years ago a French film, The wages of Fear, was such a one. Absolutely brilliant thriller about driving nytroglycerine waggons.

As a fellow Hispanophile you should give Broken Embraces an early evening viewing after work

Only two evenings after work left WTW, Wednesday packing, then Thursday off to the real thing.

people who wont watch gems like Pans Labrynth because of subtitles are just crackers!

Series one, episode one of The Wire with the first two series waiting for me on DVD.

I believe I'm in for a treat but the first ep wasn't as gripping as I remember the first ep of the Sopranos being.

In fact I tried watching this once before, about five or six years ago, and there was far too much futhermuckering in it for me but we'll persevere this time around.
