Best films of the decade according to reviews at the time.

Don't get Hurt Locker up there.


I enjoyed it, but its a very silly film isnt it, as far from a thoughtful reflection on the human cost of imperial adventurism as you can get.

My old school mucker Ray Beckett from William Penn School 1964-68 won an Oscar for best sound

on The Hurt Locker.

36, but i haven't managed to get to the cinema in about 5 years.


I'm glad Waltz with Bashir is up there, i did manage a trip for that.


The lord of the rings are technically and visually amazing whilst simultaneously being quite boring, but perhaps critics came away still wowed by the time they did their piece.


Remember all scores are reviews at the time averaged, not in reflection.


Pixar deserrve to have a few in there. first half of Wall-E is masterly, I loved Up and the incredibles. Surprsied Toy Story 3 not there.

Enjoying The Inkeepers, in a big, empty, cavernous, echoing house with the wind whipping through the trees and the sheet metal outside.

Thank god nothing seems to actually happen, thus far. It's a refreshing take on horror after all the recent post 80s excesses.


Also lovely, knowing, pastiche of the shining.

What's the film where someone jumps out of nowhere and says 'ironyyyyy' in a really camp fashion?


I keep finding myself doing this and can't for the life of me work out where I picked up this annoying habit.


Did it this morning in the security check in at Dublin airport. Man was loudly and vocally berating people for not having their boarding passes ready or belts off or coats off or ipads out (it was a long queue, we got fifteen flavours of this rant bellowing out) as they got to the front.


Then he got there and hadn't put his liquids in a bag, he got all flustered and i thought i did 'ironyyyy' in my head, but turns out it was out loud.


If looks could have killed.


The security staff then decided to go through his bag with a toothcomb just to annoy him too. Marvellous!!!

Saw War Horse last night (I know TV etc)..... fook me one of the most awful films I've ever seen - fleeting carboard characters barely developed, mawkish beyond belief, huge requirement for willing suspense of disbelief, awful, awful dialogue...hard to feel empathy for the horse even, felt almost like a 'Spinal Tap' WW1 film.

a couple of good ones this weekend.


Zero Dark Thirty. I thought her previous films rather silly so wasnt expecting much, but given the subject matter pleasantly surprised by the relatively low key nature of it, even a bit boring at times.

But as a sort of objective procedural of the ugly nature of secret war it was fascinating.


The Grand Hotle Budapest.

we'd never heard of it or knew what to expect, but what an unusual gem of a film. Fantastic cinematography, great script, amazing cast, wonderful humour throughout. Give it a go!!

Took 4 year old to the cinema to watch it a couple of weeks ago and she loved it


She laughed at the funny bits, clung to me for the scary bits, cheered at the action bits and shed a few tears in the sad bits


Perfect


And of course now every time we agree on something we have to fistbump (with the noises)

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
