Ah, Brazil. I've always liked that film a lot. I suggested we all watched it, when it was on TV a couple of Christmases ago. Within 10 minutes literally everyone had left the room. Same happened with Life Aquatic wSZ a couple of years before that...

Seems you have that in common with most of my extended family.


Actually... in most Wes Anderson films, not much stuff actually "happens" really. Quirky character based films, often without a traditional story arc. So I can kind of understand the "what-the-hell-is-this-crap" reaction.

You've done that one before!


But yeah, it's a line that I would have found very useful on a few occasions in my twenties.


Not.

I was on a train sharing a table with a couple of squaddies last week. They discussed various technical inaccuracies within that film - and then moved onto reminiscing about a drinking game they'd played which involving vomiting into a bucket and drinking it.


You meet such interesting people on public transport.



Brazil.. that perennial Christmas family favourite. One of mine though.

Saw it in January. Fantasy ending and a daughter wishing her father could fly despite the tell tale background noises. Really good film about people.

Saw Legend tonight.


Recognised the Ivy House. Didn't realise it was shot there. Now see I had an email from ivyhouse saying they are doing a screening on 23 Sept.

    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
