loosing my fooking wallet, every time i go out it takes me ages to find it, took me half an hour today - turns out it was in my fooking pocket!!!

People who dont like tim westwood.

people that secretly harbour racist thoughts about immigrant workers - (runs and hides somehwere)

People who use words they don't mean. For instance, "he was literally on fire". No he bloody wasn't

I hate people that can't say words properly, or pretend they cant say them - like the word spaghetti, its not cute to pronounce it wrong it's just stupid!!!

People that say 'pacifically' instead of 'Specifically'.

That really grinds my gears, that and my damn parents.... lousy beatnicks.

behind enemy lines on c5

Just watched Christine on ITV4. Pretty enjoyable!

Great film, Have u seen the futurama parody?

Crash was on last night. Good film, would like to hear anyone else's comments.

Anyone seen 'Be kind rewind'?

"I can't touch meat with my bear hands. I use to weep in butcher's shops as a young boy"

'Don't threaten me with a dead fish!'

Changing the subject slightly, has anyone seen the filmm 'Withnail and I'? its probably one of my favourite films - perfectly acted with a witty script to match.

We should prob call the thread the uk film thread

The most recent one, Made in Britain (?) is brilliant.

This is England - u got the jist of it. Quite ironic as its the only Meadows film i've not seen but a lot of people say its his best.

Film4 had a film called something like"Dead mans shoes' which was on last night,(But i seended ages ago)

Its Brilliant.

Watch it if you can.

"I got you right there"

dms is a really good example of what uk films can be. Shane Meadows is a great director that is going places.

Fcuk Statham i just watched Repo Man again, that film is by far the best punk sci fi film about!

Are there any Miyazaki fans on the forum?

I strongly disagree.

Unless I have seen something I really have no understanding of it - and relying only on the opinions of others is not good enough when making statements about its relative level of competence.

I may factor in critic opinion into rating the order I watch films but I never rely on them as a definitive guide to whether something is good or not. I love film and I appreciate Kermode's knowledge but on this matter (and many others) we diverge on our appreciation. I feel he gets sucked into idol worship from time to time...and this film is a case in point, his perspective is warped. Far too often he forgets that the single main purpose of a film is to entertain/stimulate and my being impressed with DDL's latest voice was short-lived.

TWBB is a crafted piece of work, it has some glorious camera work and lighting - the distance shots are a joy...but (for me) once you get past the characters being in period dress and having funny voices there was little else.

Watch the film.

I agree about some of the things u say about Kermode, he does seem very self indulgiant at times.

Its possible to know a film is good without watching it. I did not say 'i think' i was merely putting forward an opinion tht is shared by many popular film critics whose opinions i think are are spot on. This isnt meant to sound patronising and if i am wrong i apologise, U might not have seen - Citizen Kane or The Thrid Man but you know they are good films.

I've not seen 'There will be blood', but I thought he was crap in 'Gangs of New York'.

Are u shitting me? wat was crap about his performance???

Tosh devoid of any real substance, loved by Americans because it is the nearest thing to history they have and loved by Brits because they love things that Americans love.

I've not seen the film so i cant really comment. Its hard to have a go at ddl he is a great actor, and one that chooses teh right films none of this 'Oh i love Johnny Depp cos he only does indy film' - Cough Cough wat about pirates of teh carribean!

I was guna watch jewnose the other day but i heard it was a bit of a chick flick. There will be blood is epic. I heard that when Marc Kermode was on newsnight review he just broke down into tears because it was that good.

I watched 'Grizzly Man' the other day. It is essential viewing it is clear to ee the man had a lot of emtional issues. The man did eventually get killed by Bears - good film
