[bobo the clown]

Well, I'll tell you what I'm NOT watching .... BBC3 7pm "The Wimmin's Football Show".

Watching Harry & Paul's Story of the Twos from yesterday. Very, very good indeed.

[Bijou Bob]

Watched "Mesrine:Killer Instinct (pt1)" last night that I recorded from BBC2 on Saturday night. French Film with English Subtitles about Jacques Mesrine, a french soldier in the Algerian army who comes back to France and falls into the gangster underworld and becomes Interpol Public enemy No.1. its a true story and I think the concluding part was on late last night. Its a real decent film , with tonnes of action and even though its in French it doesn't annoy. Would recommend it.

Great recommendation WW. Enjoyed it and followed it up with ID:a - not as good, big holes in the clunky storyline, but watchable.

Caught some of that yer miserable, sexist git. Focussing on the cup final next weekend, which arsenal are in - again.

[Lord Kangana]

Ha fair, though I'd argue he ratchets up the madness that's already there in a lot of French cinema rather than being a total departure.

I think it was LK who recommended Micmacs, though I'm guessing you've seen it. That is tremendously nuts.

This new 'un looks good from a quick Wiki search!

Now its time for Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adele Blanc-Sec then.

Nina Conti's act wasn't funny when she first performed it years ago. Why are TV companies still showing it? It's fecking shit.

[Prufrock]

Oh my days this.

Morris dancing x a million.

Mrs G has just been watching the latest Modern family episode, I knew it had long since gone 5hite but christ this latest one. Sponsored by Quantas, it was basically a promotional video for the Aussie tourist industry wrapped around a weaker than usual storyline. If it hadn't jumped the shark before, it damn well has done now! The actors should be thoroughly ashamed

Yesterday, at the Cornerhouse, I caught the last screening of The Lunch Box. Hindi and English, partial subtitles.

A young wife sends her husband's lunch box - hot and spicy - to his work via a delivery company. It gets delivered to the wrong person, an accountant about to take early retirement, whose wife has died. A conversation starts between them - on notes in the lunch boxes.

It starts off with food, but other things develop.

Will they meet? will they flee to Bhutan together?

It's tender, funny and moving.

I was sat next to two large Indian ladies, who loved it. And made sure everyone around them knew they did.

went to see GODZILLA in glorious Imax 3D! thought it was awesome!! (more the experience than the film granted, but definitely didnt suck)

also, Happy Valley, obviously...

[Prufrock]

Watched the first half of A Clockwork Orange last night. Haven't hated a film this much in a long time, and have never been more disappointed (I expected Pearl Harbour to be shit). Spectacularly failed to get the tone of the book. Ugh. Gonna make myself watch the second half tonight I think, hoping it improves.

I was underwhelmed too, TBH but I didn't get round to watching it until a couple of years ago.

Then again it's a bit of an "of its time" film. Lots of the stuff it covered is around a dystopian society, that people couldn't really relate to in 1970...

I wouldn't go further than underwhelmed though. Hated takes effort.

[Bruce Rioja]

Exactly the same as you, Worthy. Failed to see what all the fuss was about but had to put it in context.

[General Mannerheim]

thought it was great. but i was about 14 and ive never read the book. ive seen it since tho and still liked it.

She's easier on the eye than Roger de Coursey that's for sure.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Oh gawd... the missus is back from the dragon-in-laws early, which means I'll have to put up with the extravaganza that is Coro-hype-the-nation Street for the rest of the week. I thought I'd escaped

Supervet.

Despite my worst fears it's actually quite gripping...

Just watched the first 2 episodes, very good, going to get through them in no time. Thanks to you and my Mum for the recommendation.

Well, I finished it. Still hate it. The second half is less awful, but still hateful. Wrong wrong wrong. Musical whimsy and tits. Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory directed by a thirteen year old whose just found out what his knob's for.

I loved the book, but that was pish.
