i read a review today that said Seven Pounds had a great dark twist at the end, i love twists, so downloaded and watched it earlier.....

i guessed the twist 10 minutes in, but assumed there was a BIGGER twist, there was not :lol:

Watched 3 films last night:

American Gangster which I liked but didn't think it was as good as the hype it got.

Shoot 'Em Up which I thought was really pretty crap.

Stranger Than Fiction which surprised me. I didn't expect to like it but I really did :P

Just been to see The Wrestler with the missus, we both really enjoyed it. My girlfriend mentioned it wasn't anything like she expected it to be, which I suppose is the point of a film like this, and she was glad I dragged her to see it.

So yeah, great film!

Gonna do films on Sunday evenings from now on I think - nobody is there! It's perfect!

Next up - Valkyrie.

this, i watched it and first time round was just left a bit bemused by it, but ultimately thought it was shite. Gave it another chance however and loved it, so you might want to give it another crack.

I saw doomsday last night, was getting into it at points but some parts had me laughing so much in laughter (for all the wrong reasons) that by the end i thought the film had very little substance in it. It did have linderman off heroes in it though, along with his half baked greater good philosophical mumbo jumbo lol. Honestly though, in a car chase a banged up 30 year old police car (i feel like saying cop car as considering it's set in scotland and they look nothing like police cars) can not catch up to a bentley continental gt which is brand new! other than that 6/10, watchable, but you probably wont bother watching it twice.

Interesting concept though, building a massive wall sealing in edinburgh and glasgow, actually i'll give this film 8/10 :P actually 9/10 since within 30 years they'd become pretty mutated :)

well we watched "El Orfanato" last night. I was expecting big things. And found it crushingly disappointing. A bit spooky here and there, but just a big let down TBH.

I started Frost/Nixon on saturday but fell asleep about ten minutes into the second disc. The first half was excellent, so I will hopefully catch up this afty. And I am rather keen on seeing the changeling after the bit I have read about it.

I loved Pineapple express. Found it hilarious.

Seeing the Wrestler on Tues, Looking forward to that.

Underworld 3 looks shit. Has not even got Kate Beckinsale in it.

Probably see Frost/Nixon on Wed maybe.

Film of the year so far, Role Models.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
