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.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
