On at phoenix Square. I have a free pass so may go to the Sunday showings and maybe early Saturday ones.

Not sure if I want to listen to the City game. Saints are on form and not so confident as I used to be.

Also saw today a film about dentistry (Boer war people used to go round the battlefield pulling teeth out them flogging them)

There was a film about the Olympics and how big business runs it. And a fillm about Belgrave ABC

Not into boxing but an interesting film none the less. Used to be the WMC and the latest was that it was in danger of being closed down.

Qatched that Blood on The Phone today. Misted the first 15 minutes so I may have missed the nasty bit. A lot of it was the film-maker trying to get the head of Nokia to do something about where they receive the metal from for their phones. They said 'We are aware about what is happening in the Congo and these things take time.'

They have known about the situation for 10 years and the interviewer said 'I have young children dying, am I supposed to go back and say to them, Nokia are aware but something will be done in the long term?

Also saw a doc about Scott and his exebition to the Antartic. It was B/W and made by someone in the twenties. A film-maker followed the trip. Just one thing puzzled me. Who was doing the long shots of the sleds when they were all exhaused and dying? Scott got withing 11 miles of the camp where supplies were. Beaten to the pole by Admunson from Norway who took a shorter route.
