Loving the wireless thing Sky sent me - so watched a documentary on Mike Oldfield and the making of Tubular Bells.

My, he was one fecked up, yet talented, young chap. For those of you old enough to remember - Tubular Bells - Musical masterpiece?

I always thought so. Mind you, I was into all those themed albums by Rick Wakeman around that time too.

heard a radio thing about him a few weeks ago.. actually it was about Virgin.. tubular bells was their first hit - Oldfield write it when he was a shy spotty kid - and Branson had to promise to let him drive his car to persuade him to do anything live..

or summat like that...

Nonetheless, it was, is, and always will be a masterpiece.

Not old enough to remember it live (80's baby, me!) but a friend used to play it every time I was round his house as a teen (which was a lot) I like it, gonna have to go look it up on youtube now and listen again. I'm blaming you Harry, if I am humming it for the rest of the week...

I noticed a new FreeView channel of 61 today. Another old-drama showing one. Nowt wrong with that but .... & this is only for the seriously old on here ... at 8pm tonight it was showing ..... "Dr. Finlay's Case Book" !!!

B-hell. That was a lonf time ago.

My wife and I watched 3 LF DVDs today... We were both, for once, at least after 11.30, free of commitments, and had long unwatched stuff hanging about...

We started with Midnight's Children and both of us thought that it was a pretty good job. It certainly didn't shake any curtains on release, and perhaps you need to have read the book to fully get it, but they did well enough given a really difficult task, and the movie lived as a movie. it skated in its narrative though, perhaps inevitably. I feel you might fel short-changed if you didn't know the novel.

Early eve we watched Torremolinos 73 - Spanish, subtitles - while scoffing veggie chilli and cheap-but-good red wine from Aldi. Comedy that was sometimes funny about couple that find themselves accidentally drawn into porn film-making and husband becoming obsessive about making a real Ingmar Bergmann inspired movie. Ho-hum, but not an insult to the intelligence either.

The third was Valentin - Argentinian, in Spanish, subtitled. A beautiful, moving, tender story of an 8 year old coping with loss and trying to find a family. Mother is gone, father is absent, he lives with a grandmother devastated by the death of her husband, and she is ill... He needs to find a family, somewhere he is loved, where he belongs... It works like a short story or novella, a lot of 8 year old voice over, but we were held tight, gripped from start to finish. A lovely film. A slow burn, but it creeps inside you.

Just watched Horrible Bosses. A very typical modern American comedy. Strangely compelling (which may be something to do with Jennifer Aniston's role in it) without any real guffaw moments but certainly a decent enough watch for a Wednesday in. Thought Colin Farrell was absolutely brilliant btw.

Had him on a par with Danny Dyer at one point (well OK, not that bad), especially after his embarrassing showing in Alexander, looking like Paul Calf.

Then I saw In Bruges.... brilliant. Will give that one a go Bruce.

[General Mannerheim]

yeah ive liked him the things ive seen him in too, those two standout but he was also good in Crazy Heart and Seven Psychopaths...

Working my way through "Engrenages" (Spiral) - french series in the "noir murder squad" genre...

first series was a bit clunky with the whole getting to know the characters and the unfamiliarity of the French legal system...

but cranks into life very nicely through series two and into series 3...

Girl at work's just been telling me about a film she watched last night 'Precious'. Sounds like pretty hard-hitting stuff and certainly one to put ont' list. However, I've just looked at the cast and seen that it includes not only Lenny Kravitz but Mariah fecking Carey.

Advice required please, film-watchers.

Not seen it, but I'd go for it.

have talked about Precious before. its an incredible film, it was amongst the oscar noms a few years ago iirc. but like you say - pretty difficult to watch!

Mariah Carey is unrecognisable in her role, and very good tbf.

im sure it was on TV recently...? might be on one of the players still if you have a look..

Watched The Reluctant Fundamentalist on Virgin on-demand - based on a bestselling book. Found it fairly enjoyable, worth a couple of quid for sure.

Kate Hudson is carrying some timber in it strangely!

[Athers]

Oh and also Homeland series 3, not impressed. As if Dana is now a main character - no interest.

God knows how they'll carry this on, reminds me of the dragging out of Prison Break.
