C'mon man - either it did or it didn't! Please don't tell me you speak with an upward inflection at the end of every sentence.
haha, i detest folk who talk like that! southerners mainly.

but did or didnt what? - it started off alright, thought he's a good actor, thought this interrogation scene is interesting, thought that official was a bastard... but as it went on i became dozy, and i tried more than once, and i did finish it eventually, but i was glad when i had, because it was boring.

So.. it DID bore you - full stop - no question mark!

Exactly, it's ridiculous, but very cool, and very fun.

Any "TV Series" watchers, there seems to be a big sale of box sets on hmv.com.

Looks like some good savings (up to 80%) on some...

Oh nice one, Buddie. I really should save myself from buying these things by (i) Watching TV when they're on, or (ii) setting the jaberwocky for when I'm not around.

That "In The Loop" on last night. Angry jock man was funny, swears more than me.

Rhys Darby - Live Imagine That

absolutely hilarious! which is strange because ive tried watching it before and it didnt really tickle me at all - just watched it now and laughed my head off all the way through.

btw - Murray Hewitt is one of the best comedy characters ever imo!!! but you dont have to have seen the Conchords to enjoy this!

Watched Frost/Nixon for the first time last night, and a bit of Anvil till the disc conked out. Was very impressed with both.

Watching a Chinese film called "Assembly" after the match finishes tonight, has anyone seen it? I've heard good reviews...

Things to do in Denver when you're dead has just come on on BBC1 for any insomniacs out there.

Tonight was an evening of Spanish/Latino short films at the Cornerhouse, part of the annual VIVA! festival - now in its 16th year... (www.vivafilmfestival.com). Terribly disappointing. One amusing, four bordering on dire. Ponderous, predictable, low on humour. Everything a good short should not be!

But the features look promising (though, even there, not as promising as usual - maybe the crunch has hit hispanic movie making?)...

do they have the Pearl & Dean music there?

Don't think I've ever heard that at the Cornerhouse.. they do take ads, and do trailers, but not during the VIVA festival...

Obviously some other agency...

They do at the pictures i went to in Leicester Square tonight!

Saw 'Crazy Heart' fantastic film, really enjoyed it - and Bridges well deserving of his Oscar imo. it'd have been a travesty if some of the other nominee's had won over him, well the ones ive seen(Clooney and Renner) anyway.

also loved the shot where he is at the bar in the bowling alley - nice little Lebowski homage!

The used to, but only because they could hear it coming from the Odeon.

for anyone passing through oxford - my face cinema's were the Penultimate Picture Palace and Not the Moulin Rouge - both showing trendy arty studenty stuff and being as far from the multiplex bucket-of-popcorn experience as you can imagine! (not a pair of 3d specs in sight..)

incidentally..

why is it deemed normal and acceptable for a child to be able to consume a whole bucket of popcorn with 5 gallons of coke?

really enjoyed the film last night but someone at work just asked me what it is about. as i was explaining, it occured to me its exactly the same story as 'The Wrestler' just with different circumstance.

[spoiler]aging hero, used to be famous, broke, doing the rounds, falls in love with young girl, tells her about his kids they havent seen in 20 years, girl shows them the error of their ways, herop feck* up, girl feck* off, hero phones long lost kid.[/spoiler]

i feel a little bit used.
