Got it recorded - like to have two or three eps saved before wading in so I can see them back-to-back but it sounds promising.

Game of Thrones starts on April 18th :pray:

I know what I'll be watching in May :pray:
Kirsty Gallacher will be returning to Sky in May to present Sky Sports News HD's new look ‘Good Morning Sports Fans’ show.

Kirsty began her presenting career on the channel back in 1999 and she told today@sky: “I’m delighted to be joining Sky Sports News HD. As a viewer I’ve watched how the channel has grown over the last few years and the scale of what it does now is breathtaking. Sport has always been my passion and I’ve remained in contact with many people at Sky. I can’t wait to start.”

Andy Cairns, Executive Editor for Sky Sports News, told us: “We’re thrilled that Kirsty is joining – especially at such an exciting time for Sky Sports News HD. She compliments a team in the newsroom with a wealth of talent and experience. Our viewers have always loved Kirsty and her natural, conversational style which is perfect for the new look Good Morning Sports Fans show we’re launching later this summer.”

Kirsty began her presenting career in 1999 on Sky Sports News. Since then she has presented a wide range of television and radio shows including five series of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway for ITV. She also hosted Soccer Aid and The All Star Cup for ITV1, and launched the all new Gladiators for Sky 1 in 2008.

I met her at a friend's party a few years ago. She isn't at all pretty. Seriously. If you were in a club and met her you'd think that she was just a bird full of attitude with a bent nose.

Anyone else catch Waltz With Bashir last night?

French/Israeli animated film about Israel's war with lebanon in 1982 and a massacre of Palestinians in a settlement. Really good story and the animation was amazing too (including a very funny scene where someone is watching a porno called "Return Of The Plumber II")

It was on Film 4 so I expect it to be shown a few times, definately give it a watch if you can!

Anybody with LF had any problems with faulty discs? City of God came today, which I was really looking forward to, put it in the player, didn't work, checked the back and there is a huoooouge crack, not even a scratch, but a crack, in the disc. What happens now? I tick the faulty box and then...

My lovefilm this week - so far - has been Almodovar's Dark Habits from the early 80s when he was just relishing the end-of-Franco times and making movies about licentious freedom. This one is a nice mixture of blasphemy, soft porn and comedy, that's more camp than a row of tents, set in a convent where nuns are in reality whores, dealers and murderers, with names like 'sister rat', 'sister snake', 'sister manure'... Nowt much of a film, tbh, but a cheery enough 95 mins and another unseen almodovar off my list... a good, comic climax, though. A real hit and miss artist...

Delicatessen is a movie i hadn't seen. French, grotesque, surreal, gothic, fantasy comedy. Self indulgent, totally in love with itself, a mysterious thread about sewer dwelling vegetarian resistance fighters, it's a mad un. Almost imposs to summarise but - to give it a go - in a France seemingly at war, in which no one has enough to eat, in some indeterminate time - an out of work clown gets a job in a run down lodging house above a delicatessen and falls in love with the deli owner's daughter in a reciprocated romance. The deli owner, and lodging house inhabitants conspire to murder each 'new guest' to turn into sausages etc. There's also a man who lives in a cellar full of frogs, snails and insects, that provide his food. AND THE VEGGIES IN THE SEWER ( :shock: ). Will the clown be killed and eaten or will love triumph? Gory, grotesque, imaginative, crude, brilliantly photographed. Sweeney Todd meets Luis Bunuel, meets Animal House, meets League of Gentlemen.

Some will hate... I didn't... Gave it four stars in the LF vote...

I've got The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo from the good, good people here to watch. Need to get my skates on too as it's my second one (of two) for March. How the Dickens did we reach April so soon? :conf:

I was very disappointed with the film...very

In fact, if I hadn't read the book, I wouldn't have had a clue what was going on


And City of God...was on the box earlier this week
