What are you watching tonight?

[William the White]

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.

It is excellent. But disturbing. Veil lifted on life in the American underclass, poor and marginalised.

Difficult viewing but defo worth watching. Must have forgotten Kravitz being in it but without doubt it's Mariah Carey's finest ever work!

Can bring a copy to the match Saturday, Bruce, if you fancy it?

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.

Im liking it, but the latest episode with Brody in the tower block was a bit strange. I also find watching Carrie exhausting when she's all fecked up on her meds, a testament to her acting i suppose! cant wait to learn who blew up the CIA...

.. tell you whats weird tho, image search Mandy Patinkin - Saul without a beard!

Showtime has a habit of flogging shows until they're completely dead. Homeland will be no exception.

Unfortunately that's what the US blockbusters do ... & then run out of steam. It's better to leave people wanting more than thinking 'wtf' ... in my humble, etc.


Meanwhile I note that "The Karen Carpenter Story' was on TV today. Right across lunchtime. Which is a tad harsh if you ask me.

Speaking of US blockbusters, I note that the next series of 24 (yep, still going) will be set in THAT London.

I can't wait to see Jack Bauer handling the global threat of scheduled maintenance works on the Piccadilly line.

Peaky Blinders comes to a sweaty and shuddering climax tonight, I think...

You say "still going" like it hasn't been off TV for 4 years

Did anyone catch the Metallica 3D movie over the past two weeks?

It was an absolute treat. I don't think I've laughed at a film since I was a dingbat 14 year-old guffawing through Austin Powers. Lars, Kirk, Het & the Big Bass Man crushed it but the sub-plot involving a band 'runner' was a bit lame. Lars is a comic magician. Every move he makes is perfectly idiotic.

Never seen a film in 3D before and I feared the worst when the trailer for an upcoming 'Hobbit' film hurt my brain after about 30 seconds. Too much movement and confusion. However, my fears were put to rest after the opening few bars of Creeping Death. It was easy to immerse myself in this new media in the company of The Lads and some of the best and ridiculous music of all time.

Best cinematic experience bar none. Almost beats the time I saw them in the flesh and in the round at the Arena a few years ago. They're due a tour!

Even from a blokes point of view he's good looking, but he doesn't float my boat. I do however, love his shirts.

Anyone watching X Factor? (other then Bruce who pretends he isn't but is secretly its biggest fan) Annoyed Grunt - I bet you are!

[wigan white]

Currently watching the "Sleepy Hollow" series, which I expected to be pants but is actually really good. Also liking "The Blacklist" on Sky Living.
