What are you watching tonight?

[TANGODANCER]

The Emmerdale lad's pretty useful and I'd like the little stunt guy from Casino Royal to do well. From the women I'm rooting for the skiing-lass.

[Annoyed Grunt]

Deep Blue Sea......not seen for a good few years.

[thebish]

I made an amusing and witty reference to Robocop the other day at the dinner table - but the kids looked at me blankly..

so - will be introducing them to that in a mo!

[Raven]

Am I the only one who does not watch clever stuff

Watched Attack on the Block this am, laughed my head off

... at how awful it is i hope! brap

I watched Melancholia this weekend, very excellent.

No really enjoyed it, sort of poor mans Shaun of the Dead.

I kid you not,

I totally kid you not...

on "Phil Spencer, Secret Agent" - some kind of channel 4 property show this evening, said..

Kirsty will be helping a family with a bungalow in Halifax (or summat like that)

"...and I will be nursing a semi in Leeds"

[William the White]

The Edge of Heaven - LF offering, in German, Turkish and English. So glad I took a punt on this one, it is pretty damn good... It's a tale revolving around two deaths - that of a Turkish mother working as a prostitute in Germany, estranged from her daughter who is involved in an opposition movement - Kurdish, I think - in Istanbul... And the death of a German female student who becomes the lover of that daughter...

It is a tangled web that comes achingly close to being untangled, but never is, quite...

And the film handles issues of politics, identity, loss (of country, family, pride, political principle) in a story that really is clever in handling its threads...

I gave it 4 stars... certainly didn't overestimate it... might have not done it justice...

I loved that film, it left a lasting impression on me. Really, really good.You should check out Head-On, a similar film by the same director Fatih Akin.

You also might be interested in the works of Nuri Ceylan, more specifically Distant, Climates and Three Monkeys, though these are solely set in Turkey rather than the Turkish-German perspective of Akin.

Good job being done by that man! Keep it up.

Everyone remembers the 18 cert films they watched as a kid. Character building.

For my 21st birthday I spent a weekend in Blackpool with some mates. One of the highlights of that weekend (Bier Keller and girls besides) was watching Robocop in a flea pit cinema of the back of the promenade. Excellent film.

Whoa! Look what I found!

I'll buy that for a dollar. Part of the originals brilliance is the shite tintin-esque capture motion and pisspoor 1980s special effects. A re-boot remake will be bobbins.

Watching Steven Tyler ogling at 15 year olds on American Idol.

Rita Tushingham. Name from the past, along with films like Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Room at the Top and Poor Cow. All good stuff.

Couple Robocop with Starship Troopers and you have yourself a great satirical sci-fi double-bill. Hail the freaky Dutchman!

Bah, the world's gone remake mad. Death of cinema, etc.

It all started when Hollywood realized they could make a quick buck out of delaying the dvd release of successful asian horror films and chucking together one of their own, minus the scares or atmosphere.

You think they'd learn- the better the source, the worse the remake. The Wicker Man, The Thing, The Italian Job. The list is mindnumbing.

If they can't think of original ideas then remake something flawed, or promising. Stay away from the classics.

[Annoyed Grunt]

Not a great deal on, so will be watching the scouse v mancs game.
