What are you watching tonight?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I watched this total she ite last night LLS. Even having watched the first three, I was confused. If it's any consolation, the first three are better.

Yeh, I've been told that. In fact I was given a stern warning by a few people to dismiss the Bourne Legacy and start at the beginning and I wouldn't be disappointed.

Currently watching 'Marley'. Not to be confused with a recent film about a dog, this is a documentary film about Bob Marley, with a little Jamaican history thrown in. Very good so far.......

There's a film waiting to happen here... dog, reggae music, ganga, sloppy love story. It'll be a winner.

Anyone watch 'The Returned' on Channel Four last night?

It's a new series (subtitled) from France which starts with a coach crash of schoolchildren. Four years later one girl returns home, not having aged and with her thinking she's just passed out. Cue confusion, shock and joy.

Then other people start to return to their loved ones, with varying reactions.

Very good. Not put off by the subtitles at all.

My missus was going to watch it but she abandoned it when she couldn't get the proper aspect on the tv and the words were missing at either side of the screen for the subtitles.

Ive never seen a Bourne film, no desire to either.

That Marley documentary though is brilliant, as is the new Stone Roses one btw.

tonight, at last, its ICEMAN. just re-read the book, it'd better not let me down...

The Bourne films are a pale imitator of the books. You're not missing much imo.

If you suspend what you know from the books, they turn a great story into a Hollywood "action-fest" which is never a good recipe.

Yet again, the Horror Channel has outdone itself for terrible films. Watched "Dear God No!" last night what I'd recorded from last week. It is without doubt the worst film ever made, its not even "that bad its good", its just downright feckin shite. Please, please please do not watch it, I was actually angry that I'd sat all the way through it at the end, its feckin awful.

Is that the one about Richard Kuklinski? Brilliant book, if so. Think i'll have to either go and watch it on my own, or wait for the DVD.

Sky Premiere of The Bourne Legacy. I didn't have the first clue what the fxck was going on. I got a kind of explanation three quarters of the way through but by then it was way too late to make much difference. I kept on expecting this Bourne fella to turn up as well. Talk about confusing...
Anyway, I'm borrowing the box set of Bourne movies. I didn't realise it was the fourth in a series. It might have helped if I'd known that.

Try the books first. Excellent one and all (well the ones that Ludlum wrote anyhow). The ones that Van Lustbader wrote (so book 4 onwards iirc) aren't the same intensity, but not bad.

This. Only read the first of the Lustbader books, but they're not a patch on Ludlum's. Not sure that they were needed tbh.

Identity......good little film........odd story....me and the mrs went to watch this at the cinema....only me and her on there....so for some reason, decided to run up the steps showing off........fell flat on my face...

[Harry Genshaw]

Watched the 'rockumentary' - 'The amazing story of the Who'. Not a particular big fan of their stuff but the Mrs likes em and found it to be a very engaging film. That Keith Moon was a bit of a loon wasn't he?

[Prufrock]

Watched Le Havre. Finnish-French made, but very much French in spirit. Typically batty, and jumping between momentary sadness and surreal humour.

Not sure if I got it off a recco on here, but I'd think certainly one for LK if he hasn't seen it.

The very same. alas the film doesnt do it justice, no surprise there.. still a decent enough watch, as is anything with Michael Shannon in! but it leaves so much good stuff from the book out, and most of Richie's troubled back story which is a shame. It is obviously a lot tamer than the book too, so you can take the wife, she'll be reet.

Watched Crash last night for the first time. Excellent film. I missed the first ten minutes so it took a while to get that there were connections between all the characters, but it didn't really impact too much on the enjoyment. I shall have to watch it again.

[General Mannerheim]

yeah good film Crash, a bit schmaltzy but one you can watch again and again - unless you mean the Cronenberg Crash where have sex with flesh wounds?

Sex with flesh wounds???
I meant the (2004?) Crash with Sandra Bullock, which is basically about race tension on the streets of Los Angeles. I don't know the other Crash and I don't think I want to know it.

That's the version of Crash I was aware of, but only from the Adam and Joe adaptation using toys.
