I can't believe it's taken me this long to get round to it. Bloody good series. And I also can't believe how much I underrated Ian McShane, I always just thought he was some cheesy ITV type actor, he is superb in that.
 
i think the thing was, he WAS a cheesy ITV actor. He seems as surprised as anyone :D

he relishes it though, doesn't he?

just stunning..
 
it gets even more grandiose and Shakespearian and wonderful!! Series 2 is the best IMO

and don't you just LOVE Jane?

"are you DAYD?"
 
I deffo agree about shakespearian, I was just thinking that the other day in fact, shakespeare often gets misrepresented as being stuffy, but in his time, he would have been viewed in much the same way as something like deadwood.

Is jane the tomboy? She is indeed a fascinating character... actually all the characters are excellent. It's also good seeing some old cameo faces, like the fat guy with the beard in the bella union, who is in most of the Mamet films, and also the headteacher from ferris bueller's day off
 
For Queen and country
Denzil Washington with a plausible London accent.
1989 social doc. type film.
Dated but still watchable.
 
shortbus - forget the whole un-simulated sex scenes, shots of ass munching and erect cocks in cunts, this film rocks!!
flowing and witty dialogue throughout. great performances. can't rate this more....!!
 
I watched three films in a row last night with my Good Lady Wife. :eek: We're both feeling rough and didn't feel like moving.

Bourne Ultimatum - I thought this was clever in places and the chase scenes were fun too. However, I found the plot pretty predictable.

28 Weeks Later - Complete waste of time. I found myself willing it to finish so we could move on to the next film.

Ratatouille - Despite not being a huge fan of animated films, this is the one I found most entertaining. Good fun.
 
Legends - Louis Prima
the BBC4 doc from the other night. Not bad - good to see some footage of Louis in his prime, but he didn't seem like a particularly likeable man really, and most of the talking heads were a bit dull.. he was ace though :)
 
"Children of Men" - excellent, thought provoking - a plausable version of what Britain and the world may become.

However is it just me or is Clive Owen a bit of a boring actor? I always find him rather bland I'm afraid

Pie Face watched the Squid and the Whale - i was pretending to study but watched it kind of - love that movie. Laura Linney is great in it
 
Saturday...Notes on a Scandal. Good film but the ending didn't feel right.

Sunday...Downfall, the german Hitler film. Solid film, very good.

Last night I watched Deep Water, the docu about Donald Crowhurst, the fella who cheated in the round the world yacht race, that was fucking great.

So much so I'm off to start a new thread!:)

Jarhead..

was alright - not as clever or eye-opening as it thought it was. Roger Deakins' camerawork was as stunning as ever, but it's very like Mendes other film (which cannot be named) in that it thinks it's saying something deep, but it's not -it's pretty glib.
 
Football Factory. What an unbelievably shit film.

Oi, Dyer, soppy bollocks, stop making pony films with your mate Nick Love, you fucking cunt, or I'll slit you open, innit, you bleedin' muppet etc etc etc

:rolleyes:
