What are you watching tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Forgot about that.

[Bruce Rioja]

I see that these two gimps are on again. More talent-free rubbish!

[Gooner Girl]

The One show just highlighted the plight of battery chickens, though could have done more to inform consumers about how crappy the enriched cage system is...

To be honest, I think most people know that caged hens = a rather barbaric thing, despite not knowing the ins and outs of factory farming. What sould be highlighted further is which food manufacturers are actually supporting it by buying their eggs.

Indeed. Most battery eggs used in this country these days are hidden inside food anyway, quiches, cakes etc. Thats what needs to be publicised on telly to educate the consumer. As you say, most people (unless they are complete, uncaring bastards) will be aware enough to buy free range eggs off the shelf but i'll bet most don't look at the packaging of other products they buy that contain egg. As i have mentioned before, Bish and i work for the BHWT (http://www.bhwt.org.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) rescuing ex battery chickens. Hopefully they as a charity are going to roll out some stuff to take into schools to educate the kids who will one day be buying food about all things 'egg'...

I like quiche. Has to be the bacon and cheese kind mind, not one of those with skanky vegtables hiding in it.

Come on, let's not drift away from the main point here. If the main (or even just a) constituent ingredient of a food product is egg then the manufacturer will source the cheapest eggs, and the egg producer will do so at minimal cost.

Never mind that, millions of battery eggs a year are falsely sold as free range.

If it doesn't advertise itself as containing 'free range egg' then generally it will be battery egg is my rule of thumb.

[Prufrock]

Quiche is posh flan.

Guys - House of Sand and Fog. Just finished watching it. Now, I know I'm no Barry Norman, but, having never even having heard of it I magic Sky'd it just because it has Ben Kingsley in it. It's an absolutely superb film and I urge you all to either put it on your LF lists or just buy it.
I can't understand how come I've never heard of it being talked about in glowing terms. Has everyone heard of it but me?
Kingsley's performance is stunning, as is that of the woman playing his wife who manages to draw you in on a real emotional level. Fittie out of Requiem for a Dream and Brilliant Mind is no slouch in it either.

seen it before , he got oscar nominated for it. [the film] were pretty raved about at the time.

theres a book if thats yr thing (reading books)

Indeed. Fatally flawed, too. As I mentioned on here - if these tablets make you so clever then you shouldn't have any bother in working out their recipie for yourself.

[General Mannerheim]

Orcs!
Sucker Punch
Black Swan
Super (not Super
Fire Walk With Me
Rise of the Planet of the Apes or
Pirates 4

Black Swan is a big favourite, and not just because Mila Kunis* is in it. its brilliant! Barbara Hershey should have won the oscar for this.

sucker punch is a bit shit. Enjoyed Apes and Twin Peaks is tremendous. not seen orcs or super and wont entertain pirates.

*FIT!

Is that true? Do you have a source for that? Because I'm a free range buyer and would like to know that's what I'm buying.
