What are you watching tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

The Forbidden Kingdom :shock:

Dilemma time. The good, good people have sent me To Kill a Mockingbird whilst I'm halfway through the book. Do I finish the book first? Advice sought.

You could watch the film until you're up to the same part as the book and then decide...Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow...

Deny yourself a while and finish the book first. One of the occasions where the film doesn't let the book down. If you watch the film you may not go back to the book. Just my view.

Finish the book... Take a deep breath and, immediately (really), do the movie... Be prepared to weep...

Watched Four Lions last night. Thought it was excellent. Very funny, really sharp. Recommended.

Borrowed the Sopranos box set of a friend, I watched Series 1 a while back, and then stopped and never got back round to it. Starting again from the beginning. Looks promising.

my dad happened on the Sopranos on Atantic after never seeing it before, saw the first 3 or 4 weekly but couldnt wait another week so had to borrow my boxsets, he then did the rest of season 1 in one day, and is halfway through season 2 already - well hooked!!

Are there any highlights on TV, so i can relive it again (perhaps that should be yet again..)?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Bout to watch Two Pints of Lager and a packet of crisps in all it's utter Sh**ness.

after I opened it I remembered I wanted to check JBs Price,
They have Series 1 to four... for 28.99.

found out the main 'star' has other jobs so get himself killed off in series 6, Bulls***. He's also a semi pro footballer. and went to Bolton School, but goes for Manunitud

and the dvd releases are in widescreen; even though they were on tv normal.

The new series will be on BBC Three in late Spring

We'll have to disagree on that one, Chief. I found it a huge disappointment.

I remember your Facebook comments on it Bruce, I loved it!

We have two totally opposite genre choices to watch tonight, Another Year or Megamind. It's going to come down to what kind of mood we are in, although I fear Another Year may lose out as I don't fancy leaving the weekend on a downer.

I implore you to watch Another Year, its unbelievably brilliant, a perfect way to end a top weekend! I didnt find it all that depressing anyway, just friggin ace.

Watched Another Year, it was awful. I'm not even going to discuss why as it's already taken 2 hours of my life and I don't want to waste anymore of it on that film.

If only I'd known Taken was on Channel 4

You do realise that this means that I'm going to have to watch this for myself now, don't you?

I know I'll probably be in the minority on it, as it's got good reviews from everywhere else I've seen.

For me, literally nothing happened in it.

Well, I have to say that the General has been bang on the money with his recommends this far. I'll stick it on my LF list and let you know how it goes.
