maya said:...why in bed?
if you don't mind me asking
because i haven't had a proper night's sleep in 2 weeks, i've spent the last week lifting boxes from one place to another, i got home at 2am last night and got up at 9am this morning, tonight i'm running one club from 8pm till 2am and then playing at another from 3am to 5am and then i'm going to take some drugs and by the time i get home and climb over the boxes that fill all the rooms i'm going to go to bed for a long as i possibly can.

my sympathies!just wanted to know whether you had a TV in your bedroom or not!
must make that a poll one day, how many urbanites actually have TV's in their bedrooms.
(i have, but tiny one-room bedsits doesn't count.
)*(*especially when the TV in question hark from Russia when they were still under communism, and must be switched on and off by sticking a fork into the relevant missing button and twisting it around- and the antenna substitute is a screwdriver you have to adjust every ten minutes because it's falling out of the socket (which progressively expand because of the foreign body stuck in the wrong place, until soon some day, the socket will fall apart and worrying things will happen...probably...eek!

Best response ever...
I have a TV in my bedroom, but it doesn't get a TV signal - just works with the DVD player... I have to go to the front room to watch TV...

Watched the Incredibles last night - which was excellent.
Watching the Straight Story tonight (am skint and on megadoses of antibiotics so no riotous partying at the mo ) - which I've also heard is good.
Sadly my local DVD rental place ain't too hot on foreign and indie films - didn't have Man Bites Dog or Goodbye Lenin

I've got a massive telly in my room but I haven't switched it on once since I had it. It's where I put all the clothes I can't be bothered to put away.maya said:must make that a poll one day, how many urbanites actually have TV's in their bedrooms.
I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping and one thing which doesn't help is having a room full of distractions, so all I have is a bed, said unwatched telly and two unused speaker cabinets, also used for storing clothes

It's much less of a hassle than having to return dvd's on time. They just send the films to you, you keep them for as long as you want, then stick them in the pre-paid envelope that comes with it and send them back when you've watched them and they send you some more. I get through about 12 to 18 discs a month for £16, which is a hell of a lot cheaper than what you pay in a shop.
Screenselect is good if you watch a lot of films, but aren't that bothered about the latest releases. Amazon is better if you want to watch the latest releases as soon as possible, but if you want more than 6 dvd's a month (which is about £10) then you have to pay extra.
Lovefilm is similar to Screenselect, but their service got really bad after a while and it took them longer and longer to send out dvd's, so i wouldn't recommend them. There are many more online rental companies, but they genrally don't have as much choice as those three.

Dirty Pretty Things
Really liked it. Good performances all around, and a pretty gripping story.
A few of the characters fell into the category of standard movie stereotypes, like the Hooker with a Heart of Gold, and the Malevolently Evil Immigration Agents. They were almost caricatures, and i think the film might have been better if these characters had been developed with a little more thought.
Still, thumbs up.

Gus Van Sant's 'Last Days', inspired by that last few days of Kurt Cobain's life.
Interesting and beautifully shot (as are most of his films IMO).

I watched Johnny Cash in San Quentin (on an avi so not strictly Dvd), then Style Wars, the 80's documentary on Graffiti and Hip Hop culture.
I've been wanting to watch them for years and both lived up to expectations. Style Wars is so cool, I'd like to have seen what happened to Cap though.

Stewart Lee's "Standup Comedian". Sheer brilliance. The highlight being the bit he does on Jimmy Hill's unbelievable "chinny/n***er" comparison, which was comic enough in itself.
