My latest LoveFilm selection included Hilary Swank's film "Freedom writers". The fact that it is about a middle-class white teacher turning round a class of low achievers in LA had me worried since I usually distrust films that are "based on a true story" but have to say, despite a touch of sentimentality in places, this one was moving and satisfying.

Had a few peeps round for a film last night and played Tell no one. Wasn't sure what everyone thought of it really, and for me, having watched it a second time, the ending was a bit too cheesey and French. That said it was still great in my opinion.


Have leant someone the book, as I'm interested to see what someone else thinks having seen the film and read the (very American) book.


Haven't watched much else recently, been too busy with The Wire.

Thirded, great film.

It did feel a bit Agatha Christie like towards the end as they piled on the suspects, but well-paced and suitabley tense as our cross between Dustin Hoffman, Angus Deayton and err ... Pepe Le Pew struggled to extricate himself from his Kafkaesque nightmare.

Great Stuff!!

Watched Atonement last night. Thought is was good. Can't get over how annoying Keira K is and not sure how well cast James McAvoy was (although think he is normally good). Some of it I thought was a bit cringey but on the whole thought that the supporting cast were excellent and some young stars will be made. Wish I had read the book first as comparison but sure I wouldn't have liked it as much if I had.

I f**king love that film!!!!!! >:D< *realises he now looks rather uncultured* :-$


Love all the Kevin Smith films. First I saw was Chasing Amy, which is by far the best actual story (closely followed by Dogma). The others are just silly and laddish, but I love'em!


Chasing Amy rang a lot of bells for me, and probably did for a lot of guys (and I imagine girls) out there.

Best thing about Chasing Amy is Jason Lee?s character. The way he is just completely inappropriate and obnoxious and pisses all over the hung-up, straight laced relationship Ben Afleck (Holden I think he?s called) is trying to have with Alyssa.


Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was a beautifully moving love story. A bit like Bonnie and Clyde with an orangutan.

> I'm with you Keef, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is daft beautifully done. I actually found myself laughing very hard at Ali G Indahouse too, so I can do stupid, but Beerfest...hmmmm...Non.


When I said I love that film, I meant Mallrats, but your post got in before mine. I have actually seen Beerfest, and as I was very p!ssed and stoned, I did laugh, but it is basically cr@p.


Brendan, I think Jason Lee was called Bankey. I like the bit where he draws the cross roads with santa down one road, the easter bunny down another, a nice man friendly lipstick lesbian down another, and a man hating hard dyke (these are his descriptions by the way) down the last one. There is money in the middle and he asks who will get to the money first.


"The man hating dyke" Holden

"Why?" Bankey

"I have no idea" Holden


"BECAUSE THE OTHERS ARE FIGMENTS OF YOUR F**KING IMAGINATION!!!" Bankey. Heh heh heh heh heh >:D<


RE: The orangutan, it's referrenced at the end of Mallrats, whilst "Susanne" by Weezer is played. Absolute tune!!!

Stardust memories, is my favourite Woody Allen,

movie but it got a pasting from the critics and it made me wonder if they understood it, ignore the critics give it a go.

Blackbook I saw recently it is quite long, well worth a watch if you like 'working with the resistance' type movies.

      GALA 2025

      By first mate · Posted

      Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found.

      Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.

      Book donation suggestion

      Thanks. I dropped off the books that I thought would be most helpful for them already this week.  Thanks for the advice. I have advertised the ones that may be of use for studies on this forum then dropped off some at Oxfam in Herne Hill and others at the Bell End House book exchange. Still a few more to drop which I will likely give to Mind on LL who I like.
