Watched The Nasty Girl - German, subtitles - in a smallish German town, the cleverest girl in the high school enters an essay competition, choosing the title 'My town in the 3rd Reich'... To run into holy shit - from the catholic church, the mayor's office, the authorities, the wealthy and, eventually, neo-nazi youth with dynamite...

It is, for the most part, a comedy - but bites deep... Recommend... :D

I'll check this one out though and add it to my LF list.

Watched a VHS from the uni library - an old 'Omnibus' on Matisse. My wife is reading a biography of him atm, so I got this out. Very, very good, original talent, near-contemporary of Picasso, who was younger and admired him. She thinks he's fab - so do I, but not as much as the great man. No one beat Picasso in the last century. Tonight was Part One - Part Two tomorrow I expect...

Being Human. Yay.
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Watched 'The Believer' about a Jewish lad in 1980's New York who becomes a Neo-Nazi.

Powerful and gripping stuff. Highly recommended for the LOVEFILM-ers amongst you.

Just getting a bit worried about this. The Sky channel for this is 108 but even now this channel is Sky 3, the same as it always has been and is the same for all week. I have the full HD package so I should have Sky Atlantic but it aint showing yet. The Sky listings page for the rest of the week also shows 108 as Sky 3 for the whole week and although the pages are full of previews for Atlantic and BE when you do a search it goes 'no, never heard of that channel or that program!'

Anyone here any different?

Much of the guide changes tomorrow

Your HD channel will become the SD equivalent

ie Sky Sports 1 HD will be 401

Is that on ALL sky boxes, regardless of HD?

Or will non-HD still have normal frequency on 401?

I'd guess it would be across the board but I don't know as I'm not a peasant ;)
