What are you watching tonight?

[Gooner Girl]

Chilling out in front of the athletics, not at all jealous that my brother and several friends are there... (Much)

Bolt's even giving em a head start these days

Well now you have given it away, had to pause telly whilst I went to sort out Jessie. Guess he won then!

[Gooner Girl]

He makes it look so easy!

[bobo the clown]

Will he retire before he gets found out ... THAT's the real question.

[General Mannerheim]

The Kids Are Alright is on C4 tonight. Really good film if you ain't seen it...

[Bruce Rioja]

Not watching tonight, but just mooching through the mail and LF have sent me the General's recco Rust & Bone. I'll let you know how I get on with it later in the week.

[Bruce Rioja]

Quick heads-up. Kite Runner's just coming on on BBC2. If you haven't then do, or at least record.

[Harry Genshaw]

Paranormal activity. Pretty standard fayre but didn't half make the hairs on your arms stand up near the end

Do not hang around. It's absolutely stunning..

[TANGODANCER]

Think I'll have a look at first episode of The Mill tonight. Far cry from Jane Austen with life down at the grit and grime end.

Watched "I give it a year" last night on DVD (Think the General recommended it a few weeks ago). I wasn't expecting much being a british comedy, but by the crin I was wrong, its really funny and a good film to boot. I actually laughed out loud on loads of occasions which is a rarity for a film these days. I highly recommend it.

Just watched the third of the Will-o-loaned DVD's, Land and Freedom. An excellent film and powerful story set in the Spanish Civil War. I wish, in hindsight, that I'd have read up a little on the subject matter beforehand for a better overall understanding, but the film itself isn't difficult to follow. I also get the impression that large parts of the film were ad-libbed and shot on the hoof, so to speak, a method that really appeals to me.

Just one downer for me on a personal level - I find it very difficult to watch Ian Hart without thinking of his, IMO excellent, portrayals of John Lennon

[TANGODANCER]

Bruce, both you and Will should find the time to watch this. It's in Spanish, but brilliant as a portrayal of the death of Garcia Lorca. Dark, dramatic, utterly brutal and based on truth.

I've just watched the first ten minutes of that, Tango, and I'm shaking. Looks outstanding. I've read Gibson's book, of course. And, indeed, visited Viznar, where Lorca was executed.

Spain's greatest poet and dramatist of the 20th century, and the Fascists bump him off in a routine execution, with four others.

A great deal of the script is clearly based on Orwell's magnificent Homage to Catalonia.

The film is a good example of Loach's collaboration with Jim Allen, his most long-term writer. Full of heart but carries its politics on its sleeve rather.

That said, no one does a meeting better than Loach - and i think the scene where the peasants are deciding the future one of his best.

Sets up the remainder of the film brilliantly, superb scene. I knew that the Yank would turn out to be a good-for-nothing shitehawk!

I've got the whole film on one tape somewhere but it's a video tape. Had it years. Tis indeed a powerful film and just has to be watched by anybody studying the Spanish Civil War.

Just watch Love/Hate apparently the greatest t.v programme to come out of Ireland ever.
