Downloading the Herzog one now :)

What's the surf one about? Totally not up for watching one about a load of happy surfing bastards at the moment.

Surfwise ... nope it aint no surfin' film! Did you watch the trailer? Don't wanna spoil it because I can't remember how the narrative reveals itself, but essentially it's about a very quirky guy who, at age 39, fucks it all off, has 9 kids and then brings them up in a 24 foot truck while ignoring the rest of society ... a unique tale told superbly gx
 
Paprika - pretty good, weird, but good. Not great though, only watched it cos Naked Lunch wouldnt work.
 
Alexander the Great - fantastic Angelopoulos, supposed to be the end of the trilogy of Travelling players/days of 36. About as thematically dense a film as i've ever seen - bit of Greek history. history of imperialism, ancient history, intenal hiostory of radical politics etc needed. Absolutely recommended with no resevations
 
Deathproof.
Still trying to make my mind up.

I got about half way though I think. They just left the bar. I was bored to tears and haven't managed to go back. I was watching the shorter theatrical cut as well.

I thought Planet Terror was pretty good.
 
Goal 3 - Mental. They completely stopped following Santiago, the main character from the first two films, even though he's still in it occasionally. Mike Ashley has a cameo in it, wearing a Newcastle shirt. It's totally shit.
 
More True Blood (only four to go in season one now). Reminds me a bit of Twin Peaks which can only be a good thing. I was reading in SFX that the bloke who plays vampire Bill Compton is from Essex which I'd never have guessed in a million years – apparently he and Anna Paquin are an item off-camera too.
 
I watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist on my own whilst feeling miserable and it touched, warmed and soothed my cold cold heart. I think I just love Michael Cera in whatever he's in cos he plays the same character every time.
