Ally McBeal was bad, and got worse and worse, even my then girlfriend couldn't stand it eventually, and she was the girlie TV stereotype!


Sean, when you say "most people" prefer the older versions of the characters, do you mean "you" prefer them? ;-) I absolutely loved Sunrise when I saw it on telly as a 19(ish) year old, and for yonks after that I was saying to people "what's that film with the guy and the girl on the train in Europe, and they spend the night walking around and chatting" only for people to look at me blankly.


When I did eventually find out the title and watch it again I have to admit that the young characters annoyed me a bit, but as I said, I was no longer so young... However, the older versions are far too cliche, and the film as a whole is too predictable... It's a sequel that everyone wanted to see (did they meet at the station the following year or not!?!?!?!?), but that really I think would have been best left to the imagination.


I sound like I hate it, I don't, but you know what I mean :-S

I know I sound like a misogynistic neanderthal* there but I?m not really, just being obtuse.


*Anyway from what we can make out of neaderthal?s vocal abilities they would have had very high pitched voices compared to us so I doubt I really sound like one at all.

Keef - re: Sunrise/Sunset - this time "most people" really does mean most other people


I still retain massive fondness for the original. That sort of night has always been my favourite (ok the train and Vienna may not happen that often - but the whole walking/talking/andtherest in teh wee small hours...) Looking back objectively yeah they are a bit precious - but I'd rather that than the opposite


I did think the sequel enhanced the original tho' - so we differ there

Sean I still don't know who these most people are, but fair enough.


I too liked the whole idea of walking around with this (beautiful) stranger chatting and flirting.


Cassius, Mrs Keef is always convinced I'll fancy a certain lass, and is always quite taken aback when I say "she's okay, but I much prefer the other one" (who is the exact opposite). I don't believe in having a "type", I thought brunette/brown eyes was my kind of thing, and I've married a blue eyed blonde, I think we just like who we like.


Same for the ladies I guess, I mean there are the Brad Pitts and Johnny Depps who seem pretty universal in their appeal (I said pretty not totally), but then you get ladies fancying Tony Soprano, or Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast (DM I'm looking at you!!!).

      We've been getting almost regular deliveries to the Gardens/ Kelmore grove again. It was awful at one point 6 months back. I suppose it's hit and miss depending on where you are. Our sorting office is Peckham.

      Trump's Britain

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Yup. At best I have people who detest Trump shrugging and saying something like “what ya gonna do?” Like that is any kind of answer what we gonna do is condemn, and watch out for same happening here - and watch out for all the handmaidens who would allow this to happen.  Apologists for Farage, Jenrick etc

      Next PSC National March for Palestine 11th October 2025 12:00 pm - 4:30 pm Central London

      By Apeks · Posted

      There are plenty of Jewish people on these marches, who have every right to stand up and say not in our name. A Jewish bloc attends every single one: https://jfjfp.com/voices/jjp-at-the-gaza-demonstrations/ Jewish peoples lives are being made less safe by this war, as we recently saw in Manchester and in the clear increase in antisemitism. They want to see Peace, and this will only happen with justice for the Palestinians. Most have - within living memory - members of their families who have been murdered by an authoritarian regime. They know what they are seeing and why they are marching. Calling going on march 'indulging in Jew hatred' is just ridiculous. You've clearly never been on one. Engage your critical faculties and think about why these marches are being smeared, rather than spouting what the right wing press and home secretary tell you.
