    • Hangover recovery today has consisted of watching Something for the Weekend and three films from the sofa, drinking tea and orangeade and eating pancakes and 10p crisps in Manchester.

      1) Tremors
      2) No Country For Old Men
      3) Twelve Monkeys

      And will later be watching Stephen Fry's America doco, History of the Guitar doco and MOTD2 if still awake.

    • Started watching Battlestar Galactica recently. Had not seen a single episode before. Been through the first 2 seasons and half way through the third now. It's rather good. Haven't seen much good Sci-fi for a while.
      Also, been watching new episodes of Heroes which are ok so far and that new thing called Fringe. Kinda like a new X files type thing. Not too bad so far but they need some more interesting characters I reckon.

      This was great!

    • Fry's thing had it's moments, but overall it was a bit rushed. He spent about two seconds talking to that woman about Gulah culture, which sounded really interesting. I don't know how long this series is, but the two episodes so far have felt like three crammed into one. It's otherwise well made and has a great presenter, you'd have thought they could have given it a longer run and gone into a bit more detail. It looks like a highlights reel.

    • Pineapple Express

      Entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny on a couple of occasions.

      It was entertaining but not amazing. The fight scenes were definitely hilarious though.

      Yeah, I found when Red shot the dead guys foot off rather amusing. :D

    • It was days and days ago but I saw Burn After Reading. If you don't expect anything of it, it's pretty entertaining. Three stars.

    • And last night I watched Watership Down on Film4.

      Which will always be a classic.

    • AdULTHOOD

      'twas ok. Kinda funny in parts where I expect it may not have intended to be.

    • Was it anything like Kidulthood? Because that was a load of cliched bollocks.
    •  90dayman90dayman
    • Less use of obscure (to me anyway) slang and less overt yoof culture. Most of the characters are AdULTs now so, I guess that's to be expected. Decent enough storyline (though fairly predictable) and good acting from most of the cast. I quite enjoyed Kidulthood despite not being the obvious target market and think if anything I prefered AdULTHOOD a bit. The overall themes of consequence and choice are more universal and it's less culture/location specific.

    • The Fountain- what a fucking amazing film- everytime I see it i understand it it a little more. Great Mogwai score n all.

      I witness CFC win 5-1 against a rather poor aldershot side. considering most folk wanted our manager sacked before the game and some would have prefered us to loose if it meant him getting the sack seeing as we won convincingly they still want him out, infact there was a few chants of rico out at the final whistle!

    • Black Power Salute

      Documentary about events leading up to and surrounding Tommie Smith and John Carlos' striking of the black power salute on the winners rostrum at the 1968 Olympics. Very interesting. Felt a little short and hurried though. I'm sure there's way more they could have delved in to.
      There's a recent documentary just called 'Salute' out too that is mainly about the third guy on the podium (Peter Norman). I'll have to track that down.

    • there has been a lot in the news about those two of late, clearly some subtle promo
