Perfect description of Spooks. It's very silly but undeniably engrossing. ANd agree about Keeley Hawes *sniffles*

I Be 'Orrible? ;-)

Ooh yes, Pianist, excellent excellent film. I remember seeing Human Traffic at the cinema on a date, and we laughed our heads off. I saw it again a couple of years later and have to agree with asset, it made me cringe in the extreme. I was involved in a very minor way with its sequel, It's All Gone Pete Tong (not straight sequel obviously, but the two were meant to be bookends to the dance scene by the film makers) and even though I know some of the people involved, who are local and possibly reading this, am sad to say that it's pretty rubbish too, though it has it's moments. sorry SW9 was alright as it goes, not great but not bad.

I'm not sure to be honest, but I know this is still rumbling on, was it dispatches about how under political pressure we're sending far too many genuine asylum seekers home to die. In one congolese airport there were army trucks waiting to take them away at the airport. Nice :(

AS long as you're not seeking asylum from a country we screwed up of course. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,1557308,00.html

This song popped up on my random tunes, so dug this out of youtube, the subways apparently playing in a local library...weird. The Subways - I want to hear what you have got to say

"Romeo & Juliet (The modern 90's version[)]" I love the Am Dram scene in Hot Fuzz as the production of Romeo & Juliet ends in a hurried rendition of Love Fool, great. Ooh, Hot Fuzz!! Here you go, a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY9G7MMQM0Y I thought Pan's Labyrinth was good of recent films, though Bumbelina had to leave for a bit during the implied torture scene. Re Withnail, we've had this discussion and must agree to disagree.

Ok, my last digg entry of the day. someone's gone photoshop crazy, but some of these are pretty good http://www.worth1000.com/cache/contest/contestcache.asp?contest_id=17338&display=photoshop#entries

If this isn't the coolest music video around at the mo' I'll eat my hat http://www.beonlineb.com/click_around.html

The dangers of internet voting.

You'd have thought with the stench of cash for honours still pungently lingering, that there might have been efforts to be a bit more scrupulous about party funding. I guess being almost bankrupt can do funny things...desperate times and so forth. I refer of course to financial bankruptcy, I take labour's moral bankruptcy as read ;-) ANd I'm sure he is a nice chap clare, he sort looks like an X Factor contestant in the BBC photos!

Today did seem worse than usual, but only because I didn't get a seat which is very unusual for me; everyone must have been having an early start today. Yesterday on train home I was privy to three lads talking about how the uk garage scene's gonna blow in london again. They did it in those faux jamaican/saarf london accents which always winds me up as they all looked like nice middle class children called Tarquin and love their mums; you're not gangsters kids, get over it. They progressed on to the history of house and 'american flavas wiv a uk beat' (AAARGH), which from what I could tell is about 5 years old. Lord knows what I was listening to 20 years ago then. I actually started laughing out loud at each subsequent poorly expressed and ignorant point and got some very strange looks from my fellow passengers. I did catch one conspiratorial eye from someone who had been attempting to suppress her own laughter, which was nice and made me feel that some commuters probably are human rather than automatons. Any way lads, if you reading dis, big up, word to yo flavas, and thank you most indubitably for providing such charming entertainment. should this be in the rant thread?

A very Nick Hornby idea, a darned fine one at that. I'm scribbling a top ten list as we speak. Top 10 tunes to cheer myself up on a wintry morning I think.... And cheers for the clip Citizen, I was saying the other day how that film just shouldn't have worked transposed to the states, but amazingly does...really well!!

THis one has really made me chuckle, you have to listen to the announcements http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7113545.stm "we would like to remind our american passengers that they are almost certainly speaking too loudly"

I live beyond the railway bridge and the most dangerous thing I've witnessed is the orange suit an african chap wears to church every sunday. It's so dazzling it could cause a car accident, but I don't believe it's yet done so.

Bourne films are good (not seen last one) and thanks them Bond has returned from the brink of utter stupidity. Withnail, most perfect film script ever written, not a word out of place.

"Fit for purpose" is really winding me up at the moment.

The Hatfield Forum?!? Blimey, brings back memories.

Outlaw has some pretty ropey reviews, but not seen it. I did rather enjoy Severance though, another mockney Danny Dyer effort. It's very silly but admittedly it did make me laugh which can't be a bad thing.

Good old snorky. Without a telly how can you play Wii bowling or Halo 3 Rocket Race, eh, eh? Tell me that!! It looks alright to me Rowanofski, what do you mean by not flat screen? It's as flat as you can expect for a plasma screen 1020 x 680 x 97mm http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/Panasonic-TH42PX70/Specification.php

great line Figgins, quite a few of them as I recall. Keef, it was No Man's Land. I watched just before my Bosnia trip in 2002, real impact first time you see it, though as I've seen it with quite a few people now it's lost some of it's power, but it's as blackly funny as ever. Pretty Village Pretty Flame didn't have much of that side to it and I found it quite harrowing.

Agreed, Korean cinema is excellent, in fact much from the far east and SE Asia is under-rated. Brotherhood seemed a bit ott for our western sensibilties, but I had a lump in my throat come the end.

I look forward to seeing ratatouille, but can't comment yet. I didn't take to Crash. Simplistic with flimsy 2 dimensional characters and heavy-handed didactic. It was however rescued by excellent performances pretty much throughout (exception of Bullock, I couldn't work out whether it was her character or acting that grated), and the Matt Dillon character which was the only attempt to show the world in shades of grey as well as black and white. Actually it wasn't bad at all, just not worthy of that heaped praise and oscars. Only my opinion obviously.

"I remember going to see the Stones in '76 at Knebworth" Does that mean you had to get off at Stevenage station? Ooh you poor dears!!
