So many particulars. So many questions.
I sacked Spiral off cos butchers ruined it for me by saying its 'the bill in french' and then I noticed how much Roban looked like Bob Cryer and it was all just ruined after that

Caught the latest Sons of Anarchy last night. There was a really just wtf were they thinking bit in it where they showed a conjugal visit that was enforced by the staff, who both sat down and opened their belts to have a bash. How jaded do you need to be to get off to Clay Morrow and Gemma shagging?

That sounds like the sort of thing Shippou-Chan would say.
Homeland season 2 (it's only just come out for rental on DVD).

It's in French, so it's sexier

You know, The Bill was unfairly relegated to snicker status over the years but it tackled issues without signposting it like the soaps and it didn't really get bad until the ill fated move to glossy film production values.
Aside from that Spiral isn't The Bill in French. It's Law & Order in French.

We are catching up with the walking dead... up to episode 9, I think, on season 3... some brilliant gore

Season 3 is quite stunning. Quite a change of pace after the lacklustre second season.

MOAR walking dead! 
Nice one for posting that
Great find.I used to live in St Marys flats which were themselves demolished in the 90's. It was mainly the old timers who were fighting to keep them up, they must've remembered what it was actually like in the slums. Everyone else (including me to my eternal shame) wanted them knocked down just to get the £1500 relocation money (which got spent in about a week) from the council. The flats were really nice inside, big, airy & warm but the communal areas of the blocks were neglected and looked a mess. There was nothing wrong with the flats themselves though. There are still some houses left that were part of the original St Mary's estate but all the flats are gone.

Cargo.
Deep space mission, small crew, somethings up.
Sounds a bit boring, started out looking like it was going to be a low rent and fairly obvious whodunit / they all get knocked off one by one, type thing (Obvious terrorist news report TV clip before the ship takes off suggests said terrorist will play a part later in the film - yawn).
Actually became something more interesting. Then it became something even more interesting. . . then . . . it spunked it, ruined the new idea with some shithouse matrix twaddle, had some poorly executed, and pointless, hero sacrifice before having a the least tense or scary 'last minute scare' ever.
It was almost like they were trying to make a space isolation suspense movie by the book, but accidentally came up with something quite interesting while trying to avoid copyright issues (quickly dumped when we got over that hump).
The 'matrix' simulation should have just been almost brain dead people feeding a computer responses to fool the people back home. Not an actual simulation - maybe a fucked up half dream at best. The simulation (as it stood) was a solution to the populations problems, making the ruse pointless.
Also, at the beginning of the film they mention that they last people leave the dying earth for a cramped hell in space. . . but Earth is OK again? Was nobody monitoring what was going on?
Bah.
A fun enough jaunt I suppose.

Room 237. Various complicated theories about The Shining. There's the one that it's really about the destruction of the American Indians. The one that it's about the Holocaust. The one that it's about how Stanley Kubrick helped to fake the Moon Landing. And others more beside. These people have watched the film too often and they've become lost in their weird concoctions. A poster of a skier is actually a Minotaur (it's a skier). An in-tray on a desk becomes an erect phallus (it's an in-tray). A stack of suitcases refers to death camp transports (they're suitcases). And so on. These people are all certifiable. I want that two hours back.

I clocked that it was going in that direction after about 20 minutes and turned it off so I could go and spend my time more usefully. Reading conspiracy websites and watching David Icke's live shows, stuff like that.

I don't think I agreed with any of them but it didn't stop me thinking it was a great film.
And it's not about The Shining, obvs. It's actually about how Steven Spielberg faked The Jews.

What happened to Dubversion ?
Trance - Kinda had it figured out about halfway through but still well enjoyed it.
Love/Hate - The first episode of series 4.

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Finally got around to watching this. It was the extended version - so four hours. For such a long film it doesn't really drag, although I'm sure it would if I was in the cinema or if I was forced to watch it without any breaks. Probably the best of the three. I also can't quite work out why people complained about the ending, it seemed fine to me.

I thought it dragged on a bit when I saw it first (the shorter version) but when I saw the extended one it didn't seem to. I think in the shorter movie it takes up a bigger chunk of time but with three hours or so of battling to Mordor preceding it,it works alright.
