did you see 'Showtime' or either of the Analyze pair, or Stardust?

After Arnie, Steven Segal, Vin Deisel, Jason Statham and all the flying karate kick merchants, a film that at least has some vestige of realism, some terrific driving a decent plot and Caterina Witt will well do for me in a fictional film.William the White wrote:Gave it 40 minutes.

yep. good harmless fun. I do enjoy Ben Stiller films. Dustin Hoffman & Barbara Striesand were good in this too.Bruce Rioja wrote:Really? I was forced to watch Meet The Fockers on a plane. I thought it was double-dipped dogshit, to be honest.General Mannerheim wrote:i love Meet the Fockers, and Meet the Parents.
'Little Fockers' coming out soon.
recall you didnt like the Hangover either? i appreciate they might not be everyones idea of a great movie, but i just dont understand why anyone could actually dislike them?
just out of interest, what are your favourite comedy films/tv shows?

Yeah. The genre doesn't grab me, i guess. It was on the basis of the enthusiastic recommendations here that I thought I'd give it a go.

The increasingly excellent Sky Arts is (re-)running a 70s music documentary series called All You Need is Love. It's a terrible title but a great series, from a time when documentaries took the necessary time to examine the subject in full rather than dashing between vox-pops, constantly restating their premise in case your brain has fallen out, and splicing in different slabs of backing music every minute in case your ears can't cope without vaguely-related music (Trees: Nick Drake, Sand: Walk Like An Egyptian, etc).

Indeed. It's all Sky Arts and BBC Four on my planner. There's much to learn.General Mannerheim wrote:i have only recently discoved the fruits of Sky Arts! great channel.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:The increasingly excellent Sky Arts is (re-)running a 70s music documentary series called All You Need is Love.

So I went to watch Inception last night.
Enjoyable enough, but another one for the well-populated 'overrated' category I'm afraid.
I just didn't buy into a few key concepts... such as training your subconscious dream projections as easily as if they were mercenaries for hire.
Anyway, not for me, but plenty that's interesting to look at, so it's probably worth seeing for that reason alone.

You ain't half put me on the spot there, Chief. I just can't stand obvious American 'comedy'. My films I'd say vary between The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse and stuff like In Bruges, or Rita, Sue and Bob Too. TV ranges from, again, The League of Gentlemen or Green Wing through to The Inbetweeners or Extras. My favourite ever TV series was Blackadder. That said, I'm a huge, huge fan of Laurel & Hardy, Morecambe & Wise and The Two Ronnies.General Mannerheim wrote:just out of interest, what are your favourite comedy films/tv shows?

Yes. You can add in Faulty Towers (I know) for me. And don't forget the immortal Rupert Rigsby.Bruce Rioja wrote:You ain't half put me on the spot there, Chief.

Saw Toy Story 3 tonight in my first dabble into modern digital 3D. The 3D is pretty good but the film would still be as fantastic without it. I didn't enjoy wearing the glasses tho.
The film is superb, hate keep being told that it's a kids film but with hidden adult humour, it's so patronising! But there were plenty of lol moments in this, the 9.30pm show time meant no kids but everyone left the cinema grinning, and even a few teary eyes!

I'm looking forward to seeing Toy Story 3 but going to wait a couple of Orange Wednesdays before I go otherwise it'll be rammed. Being dragged by the missus to watch Shrek at cinema tonight, oh joy, Ive never been a great fan of Shrek - plus Ive only very recently got into The Inbetweeners and I was planning to get stuck into the boxset tonight but instead, its a big green ogre and some ridiculously priced popcorn!General Mannerheim wrote:Saw Toy Story 3 tonight in my first dabble into modern digital 3D.

Last night, watched last week's Who Do You Think You Are in which Bruce Forsyth discovered his great(etc)grandfather deserted his first wife for a much younger model as soon as he got famous. Hmm....

I watched it last week. The double standards were astonishing! Still, I don't suppose that old Brucie the lad'll end up in an unmarked plot!Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: Last night, watched last week's Who Do You Think You Are in which Bruce Forsyth discovered his great(etc)grandfather deserted his first wife for a much younger model as soon as he got famous.
