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.......

Natalie Portman is horrifically thin nowadays isn't she?

Just finished the new (to DVD) Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

Enjoyed it very much, though Oldman played the part well.

You also might be interested in the works of Nuri Ceylan, more specifically Distant, Climates and Three Monkeys, though these are solely set in Turkey rather than the Turkish-German perspective of Akin.
I watched Distant tonight... As slow a film as I've ever seen... And pretty inconsequential... Not in the same universe as Edge of Heaven... See what LF send next... But this not in the same league as Akin when it comes to telling a story, or plumbing emotional depths...

I enjoyed the most part. The scenes towards the end are just fecking stupid, but I think it gets away with it in the context. Reno is Reno, and she is amazing.

I'm not sure about horrifically thin, though I know she lost nearly two stone for Black Swan. Didn't realise she was Israeli either. That's my attempt at non-sequitor of the week.

BWFC_Insane wrote:How predictable...

He's unlucky that he's in this era, he really is.

He's just never going to be quite good enough to beat 2 of Fed, Nadal, and Djokovic over 5 sets. Even if he'd have gotten through today he'd never have had enough left in him to get past Nadal IMO!
His main weakness is he lacks the mental strength to convert break points and to keep up the intensity when he gets ahead in the match.

He can play at the same level (and it's quite a sight to see) as these incredible players for long periods of time. With practice he may continue to narrow the gap and I do believe he also has the youth and fitness to outlast all three in the long run...

Obviously though, he'd rather best them in a grand slam final. I personally think he'll pick up a couple of Aussie and Us Opens before he's done.

Cheers for the heads-up, Chief. Seriously brilliant. Even better than In Bruges IMO. :pissed:
