I personally think that modern film composers like John williams, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Danny elfman, John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith, Elliot Goldenthal,James Horner,James Newton Howard, Christopher Young,Gustavo Santaolalla, Eric Serra, Basil Poledouris, Giorgio Moroder, Clint Mansell, Maurice Jarre, David Arnold, Vangelis for example are just as fine.

Who do you like in the world of classical film scores?

Mirash, east dulwich tandoori you choose

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say...

Prince

Although i'm not a massive fan, I respect that he is consistently experimental, influential and basically a musical genius.

agree or disagree?

I almost had a fight with Sly Stallone a few years back. It was a little one sided I must admit.

I think that the place turns around staff way too quickly. I get the impression that a certain white haired old chap with a a name begining with 'T' ending in 'ony' abuses staff and customers alike and doesn't allow the place to become the bar it could easily be.

I reckon with the space they've got there, they could easily follow in, say, a Walkabout's steps and have local live bands play. It would be the Perfect gig venue in the area. I'd buy the place!

Spliff and drugs in general... Just doesn't work for me. Did anyone know or care that as well as Heath Ledger snuffing it, Brad Renfro the kid who was in The client and Apt Pupil died from a drug overdose at the age of 25 in January.

I'm allergic to my own... er... tadpoles. What a lonely life. Heh!

Ah yeah!

Is it me or does this bar really need a change of management. You never truly feel welcome. Nobody seems to go there anymore.

Also, do you think as i do, that this bar is the perfect place to host live music?

Over to you guys.... How would you regenerate this bar?

I appologise. I was told it yesterday and thought it was shocking. anyone got anything darker?

This is a very wrong joke.

What's pink and stiff and makes women scream in the morning?

A cot death.

making mayonnaise while menstrating? surely that gives it a crimson hue?

Annafield can I just say very sound advice on the sauce making... nice to see the lack of breast milk in your recipe.

Always nice to know when you copy and paste a spelling error that you guys are kind enough to point it out without too much sarcasm. Heh heh! Cheers guys.

I'm a regular cinema goer and recently caught the following:

No Country For Old Men - Absolutely a triumph for the return of The Coen Brothers. I guess you could call it a modern western based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy. Great performances and a truly cold, chilling performance by Javier Bardem as the central psycho / clean up guy. Should get an oscar easily. So good a film it doesn't even have a score!

Sweeney Todd - As musical films go, it doesn't get darker than this. Tim Burton pulls all the stops out on this screen adaption of the Stephen Sondheim stage show, graphic throat slashings intact. So extreme they gained the film an 18! Johnny Depp pulls another masterful performance and easily proves that he is the most versitile actor working in Hollywood today ... And the man can sing too!

Go and watch these movies and tell me what you think.

I'd really love to know the best way of making a real hollandaise sauce without using a blender or a jar.
