Yeah good stuff from a London director. Saw "Bullet Boy" yesterday set on the estates and environs of S London. Good pacey stuff, not preachy and decent performances from the leads. Seems like it's the smaller directors in the UK who have the clues, because the mainstream UK stuff is just mid-Atlantic tosh.
Edit: got it wrong: it's filmed around Hackney, not S London.

Story of the Weeping Camel. Beautiful documentary
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars.
Mini-series made after the cancellation of the best sci-fi series ever. Great stuff, but I would have much prefered another series rather than have a storyline which I'm guessing was intended to have lasted a series crammed into 4 hours.

Three more episodes of The World at War: "Barbarossa", "Red Star" and "Stalingrad" left me a total wreck on the sofa 
The sheer scale of it...
Watching a quality program like this from the 70's makes you realise just how hopelessly dumbed down everything we're served up now has become.
Should be compulsory viewing in every school.

Watch 'Monarchy' last night of too engrossed in bemoaning the state of modern TV?

They're showing it again on UKTV History at the moment, best history series ever made.

Roberto Benigni stars in this brave take on the holocaust from an entirely new angle, mixing slapstick comedy with pre-war Hollywood values. Benigni plays an Italian jew who woos and weds a local teacher before being imprisoned by the Nazis. He protects his son from the horror that surrounds him by pretending that their imrisonment is a vast, elaborate game. At times touching, at others too saccharine for my tastes, the whole nevertheless comes together and eventually provides a testament to the triumph of humanity's spirit over its darker side.

The second segment of David Starkey's 'Mondarchy' series started last night with the War of the Roese. I was only enquiring if you'd seen this massively 'dumbed down' piece of programming.
It's a personal thing - I really can't stand that whole 'dumbing down' argument about TV because it simply isn't true, just as the whole 'Golden age of TV in the 60s' crap isn't true - well, no less true than 'The 60s were a golden era for music' tosh as well.

Oh right got you, no, like I said I was watching 3 hours of World at War last night. That Monarchy program looks quite good, I'll probably watch it on dvd though so I don't have to put up with 20 minutes of adverts every hour.kyser_soze said:

Yup, and I agree with Marchant as well. The whole 'dumbed down' argument simply doesn't hold water if you actually compare schedules from 20/30 years ago and today. Yes there is a higher volume of shite on TV today - but then there are 100+ channels that broadcast 24 hours a day. Back in the 'golden era' there were just about 3 channels which all closed down at 1130/midnight!!
It's a massively different argument to this thread but one that REALLY gets my blood boiling.

My flatmate watched a film called Hideous! ('A group of rival collectors of severely deformed freakish human beings and the FBI agents that are investigating them must battle against some of their collections which aren't as dead as they seem'), which apparently would have been one of the worst films he's ever seen if hadn't have for a scene where a a man gets robbed by a topless woman in a gorilla mask. I want to watch it now.

Sounds like a work of art. That there are NO pix of the actresses in this movie doens't bode well, altho the topless gorilla thing sounds like a work of genius

w00t! Thanks for the heads up.
The World at War was compulsory viewing at my school (along with Blackadder goes Forth
) when we were studying Hitler's rise to power, and TWaW has to go down as the finest documentary ever made - an incredible chronicle of probably the most important event of the 20th century. Epic in scope and length, it does an incredible job of explaining pretty much everything that happened in the war. If you've not seen it, you owe it to yourself to watch a few episodes - as Juice Terry points out, the episodes detailing the invasion of Russia are particularly breathtaking in portraying just how bad things got.Johnny Canuck3

With Forrest Whittaker. I'd recommend it.

A Lot Like Love with Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. Meh, it was OK.
I actually thought it started off pretty well in the first third or so, then descended into *why won't they just FUCK for fuck's sake?* near-miss cliches for the rest of the movie.
I must admit I find Ashton Kutcher strangely attractive. How embarrassing, isn't he designed for acne-ridden 12-year-olds to have crushes on?

Oooooh, my nudey masseuse friend gave him a massage and a hand job when they were filming in Baltimore!
She said he was really sweet too. The crew (who had visited her establishment before and knew the score) kind of set him up - he had no idea it was *that* kind of massage, and she said he was quite embarrassed and blushy about the whole thing (although he didn't stop her).

She wasn't wearing a blue velvet dress at the time, was she?
