I went to Beckenham Odeon last night with one of my bitches and we saw this wonderful film. We knew nothing about the movie at all and it was chosen purely on the premise that we felt like laying back for an hour and a half and wondering what it might be like to kiss George Clooney on the mouth.


It's a marvellous film and it was a pleasant surprise to see a Hollywood film that doesn't fit neatly into a genre. And it didn't have a Hollywood ending to boot - how rare is that? The female leads were not cast from models central which was a bonus - they were just good actors. The wedding scenes in particular warmed my heart - the characters and the acting felt very real. The plot calls for a lot of scenes where characacters are being laid off work and that wasn't easy viewing because obviously behind every lay-off there is a a family and hardship to come. Some very well observed moments and some very funny moments. Did I mention George? I don't like to go on but he gets better and better with age and I most definitely would.


Recommended. Go see.

Yes me too Karter - as soon as he got out of the car and started running towards the house I knew exactly what was going to happen. That was a turning point in the movie because up until then I'd pigion-holed it as a rom-com because the chemistry between the two leads was all sexed-up. So when the door opened I was thinking "WTF - what sort of movie is this?". I guess it's a movie about a man who wants to make changes?

Not really Gigsy,

you wanted to know what it would be like to throw him to the ground and have your wicked way,

thus leaving a dried husk of a spent male.........



I guess that's what women in their prime think?

    • Really? Yes you are probably right as I know from personal experience with Guys… as I claiming travel costs back, that no one told me I could claim! Left hand does not know what right hand is doing regarding admin..  If they charged people for wasting overstretched staff in A& E as in not urgent just might deter people from wasting precious time…. But then you need interpreters, to explain if language is a barrier and admin staff to administer..  Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a train from Denmark Hill or East Dulwich which goes to London Bridge? Would be faster than 2 buses I would have thought.    Oh, forgot about Tessa Jowell but thought you needed GP referral in which case, that would be the place to go rather than a bigger hospital. Know there is one in Beckenham and you can call and they will give you an idea as to wait time…..same I hope at TJ…assuming they answer phone.. If one really things about it…too many  people in London for example and to few hospitals…    
    • I don’t think it’s licensed for Sundays. It is licences for Fridays, but there hasn’t been anyone there on a Friday for years. So I doubt it. i think there’s a market at the Horniman on Sundays. Also pretty sure there’s one outside Herve Hill station on a Sunday.
    • I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And  a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.
