It was great to see the film again

Several of the participants dispute some of the facts

details here

But there is no mistaking the look on the wife and kids' faces!

Good to see South Park and My Name is Earl both riffing on it as well

[Keef]

Eagle Vs Shark, absolute quality!

[bigbadwolf]

The 9th company. Follows recruits in the Soviet army and their experiences in the Afghan war during the 80's.

The Deerhunter for obvious reasons.

Hotel Rwanda.

Das Boot.

All the Saw movies.

The Wicker man.

Dead mans shoes starring Paddy Considine.

[mockney piers]

Good films (mostly, but not exactly laugh a minute in the BigBadWolf lair is it :-/

[bigbadwolf]

Well if you put it like that Mockney.

Southpar the movie.

Team America world police.

All the Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson collaborations.

When I want comedy it's usually sourced from T.V series such as Southpark or Trailerpark boys etc.....

[mockney piers]

America, fuck yeah!!

[bigbadwolf]

One of my favourite scenes was when they discussing the possibility of committing suicide in the event of being captured and instead of issuing him with cyanide he hands him a rusty claw hammer.

[Huguenot]

BBW do you have a fetish you're not telling us about?

Das Boot, Saw (hacksawing feet off), Dead Men's Shoes?

[bigbadwolf]

I'll tell you when you're all grown up.

[Mikecg]

Show your commitment.

[citizenED]

Just wondering if any of you film buffs has seen "Slumdog Millionaire"? is it worth a trip to the cinema?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Yes and Yes.

Greatly enjoyed Slumdog.

I am now officially a child again for 2 hours so I can go and see this when it comes out:

Where The Wild Things Are

And I now also want to go to a fancy-dress party in that boys monster outfit! Does that make me very strange, or just a bit strange?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Completely bonkers.

[david_carnell]

Thanks PGC. Does knowing you're bonkers make more or less dangerous to the general public?

[Ted Max]

Has your pimp priced up the Monster suit option yet, D_C?

[david_carnell]

Heh - very good Ted. MikeP, sir, please can I ditch the toga for a monster suit?

[SimonM]

Are you going in fancy dress to the First Division play-off final then? :))

[Moos]

The private boat for Max didn't have MAX written on it, as it's supposed to. And Max's tail wasn't nearly bushy enough. And the wild things... well, they were a bit wrong.

This is what comes of messing with books that people love.

(I've just realised after a few minutes of staring into thin air that I know the entire text of that book by heart - what a waste of memory space!)

[jaybee82]

I highly recommend 'In The Loop' with James Gandolfini. Very well cast and extremely funny, was constantly laughing through the entire film!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

It's been getting some great reviews and comes from Iannuci so I'm already on board - I'm definitely up for this one

[JetSetWilly]

in the loop, very funny, however my cinema choice of the week has to be "let the right one in", very atmospheric vampire film, in that the main protagonists are kids, an unusual but extremely good film, but only watch if you can stand subtitles. dvd of the week which i watched last night is "the baader-meinhof complex", cracking film which one would think in the arms of a guy ritchie et al would attempt to glamourise the group and their actions, this film doesn,t, it makes them out to be the terrorists they were, all be it, they sure do look good. worth a watch.

Then he should also enjoy the scene from Misery when Kathy Bates hobbles James Caan's feet:

Bates: Do you know what they did to the native workers who stole diamonds? Don't worry, they didn't kill them. No, they had to make sure they could go on working,... ..but they also had to make sure

they could never run away.

The operation was called "hobbling".

Caan: Annie... Whatever you're thinking about doing, please don't do it!

Caan: Annie, for God's...

Bates: Shh, darling. Trust me...

Caan: God's sake!!

Bates: It's for the best.

Caan: Annie, please!

Bates: Almost done. Just one more....

::o

Aside from what Sherwick wrote above I saw 'W' last night (film about George bush junior) and it was awesome! Josh Brolin had him down to the last grunting laugh.

[Keef]

Mrs Keef and I saw In the loop on Sunday, and both thought it was very good. Lots of actors from The Thick of it, and a couple playing the same characters. There is something depressing about it though, in that it's all too believable.
