anything that's got Ewan McGreggor in it has to be good


I suspect that Angels&Demons will test that statement even more than the new Star Wars films did ;-)


I'd have to join Annasfield on The Spy Who Loved Me - the Union Jack Parachute moment is a pretty special, as is the speed boat chase from The World Is Not Enough. But then the opening sequence became such a big part of the Bond Cocktail that it's to be expected that they've put together a few good 'uns.


I think I'd like to add the opening sequence in Gladiator, which is pretty decent. Immerses the viewer into the period in quick-time, and great action.


On a less ballistic note, the deserted street and quiet score that open Breakfast at Tiffany's always make me smile.

Predictably,considering my moniker, I'll go for the opening to Goodfellas: Ray Liotta 'For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a gangster' followed by Tony Bennet's 'Rag to Riches'. I think Joe Pesci's psychotic Tommy DiSimone was the template for many 'hardmen' in films afterwards including Kingsley's. I don't think I had ever seen anyone that genuinely scary in a film before. Nearest thing to that was Paul Betthany in Gangster no 1, which was a very underrated film.

      Council "weed" removal

      I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.

      Council "weed" removal

      By Sue · Posted

      Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.

      They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
