  1. If it's anything like FWWM or Mullholland Drive I will need to watch it more than once. The only one of Lynch's less straightforward ones that I managed to get my head round first time was Lost Highway. And that's only because I had only recently watched MD several times and read several threads on the IMDB fourms.
  2. Well they still will be legal to own, just not to sell, import or attack politicians with. (completely irrelevent of course when almost all blade related crime comes from kitchen knives and small pocket knifes which are cheap, very easy to get hold of and easily concealed and disposable) I just love the hypocrisy is all, like Two Jags transport policy when he wouldn't go 100m with one car for himself and his wife and another for her hair do. Basically it's legal to own a Samurai Sword, Legal to carry it and if your the proprietor of a Samurai sword shop it's legal to sell them. But that doesn't matter because it's illegal for the cops to search you!
  3. I've had Inland Empire on dvd for ages mind you and I just can't get round to watching it for some reason (possibly because I want to try and watch it in one session, something that's becoming increasingly difficult for me to do with anything over an hour and a half long).
  4. My Man Godfrey is one I would put into the forgotten gems catagory. One of my favourite films from Hollywood's golder era.
  5. Big Trouble In Little China. Possibly Carpenter's finest hour (certainly his most fun) but I'm sure it was critically panned. Quick Change. Probably Bill Murray's funniest film with a fantastic cast (Murray, Gina Davis, Randy Quaid, Jason Robards, Monk, Stanley Tucci, Clarrence Boddicker, Phil Hartman) and a bloke shouting Nude Women, Nude Women, Clowns Welcome, Nude Women. Excellent Stuff. So I Married An Axe Murderer. Mike Myers best film. "Heed troosers". The Black Dahlia. Got a panning from all quarters but looked gorgeous and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Point Break. One of the best action films of the ninetys. Murder On The Orient Express - Sidney Lumet directing one of the greatest casts ever assembled. Would probably make my top twenty. Fire Walk With Me is a masterpiece for me. I admit I was disapointed with it at first as it didn't resolve Coopers situation in the black lodge but the more I've watched of Lynch's work the more I love it.
  6. Glad I forgot about 2001 & Withnail & I because my top ten there would have been much more difficult to come up with.
  7. I'll go with a top ten (I can do three or ten but five is too difficult; The Maltese Falcon TGTB&TU Star Wars Millers Crossing Paris Texas Mullholland Drive A Very Long Engagement Seven Pulp Fiction The Philidelphia Story Mind you other than that first three it would be a very different list tomorrow. I watched They Live the other night which is pretty fun but not as good as Carpenters best work. Roddy Piper is a fucking awfull actor too. And last night I watched the original 3.10 To Yuma which is excellent.
  8. Fucking brilliant result (coming back from a goal down makes it even better). I was out with a few makems on Saturday night who were winding me right up about being above us. I'm going to have the fuckers lives when I see them today While I wont rest totally until we're mathamatically certain, I'm pretty sure that's us safe now. Can't see Bolton picking up three wins (especially after what happened to them on Saturday) never mind us not picking anything else up. Hopefully we'll put in a good run together now and set ourselves up nicely for next season.
  9. The Lookout. A little bit predicatble but canny all the same. The kid of Third Rock From the Sun is looking like becoming a very decent actor.
  10. Got the new album? I'm enjoying it very much. Best album I've heard this year by quite a distance. There's some fucking excellent tracks on there. REM - Accelerate. Pretty decent.
  11. Personally I thought he was canny enough on Saturday. Made a few decent passes other than the assists for the goals. His corners in the first half were good but they were piss poor in the second. I think like all of the rest of them, low confidence is meaning he's lacking in consistancy throughout the games, he'll do something good and then something shit. But if we start picking up a few good results I think he could do quite well.
  12. Quite enjoyed that. Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull
  13. Didnt realise they had another out. Ill have to keep an eye out for that. "Roads" off Dummy is prob my fave track of theirs. Quite a moving song. They don't yet I listened to it nearly constantly over the weekend and it's very good although quite a bit different to their other albums. There's less in the way of chorus's to sing along with and more tracks that are led by the music. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!
  14. No Country For Old Men. Thoroughly enjoyed for the most part but I'm not convinced about the ending. If I get my head around that though it could turn out to be one of my favourite films.
  15. It would be worth finishing third bottom a point behind Birmingham only for them to get a points deduction and them go down in our place just to see the look on the makems faces.
  16. That will do me tbh. Anything away from home is a big bonus despite the fact that we were playing a shite team. Must beat Fulham though.
  17. The comments on his performances are certanly warranted but the theme of piece that Owen is blaming the team for bringing him down and taking no resposibility for himself is wide of the mark for me. Owen came out a blamed himself for us losing to Blackburn and has been saying that all of them as a team are not performing and tbh England are getting pushed more and more to the back of any interview. All this talk of him being a mercanery is moot anyway. How many of our players don't fall into that catagory? If we go down who will still be there in the championship? Harper? Carr (because no one with any sense would take him), Ameobi? Even Taylor would fuck off I'm quite sure. This could be the telling factor in our relegation battle. Other teams have players playing for their jobs, ours will just expect some other premiership or foreign team to pick them up off (for cheap so they will be on to a nice earner).
  18. Portishead - Third It took them a ridiculously long time but I think they might well have made another cracking album.
  19. Porno. The Trainspotting follow up by Irving Welsh not just thumbing my way through my jazz mag collection. Probably the first book I've read in the last five years excluding 1001 Films To See Before You Die. Really enjoying it so far but it really just makes me want to watch Trainspotting again.
  20. Were we not in the precarious position that we find ourselves in I would be looking forward to the games a lot more but as it stands I am extremely fearfull about our position in the league and I can't enjoy it at all. This comes after the disasters that were Souness, Roeder and Allardyce meaning I can't really say I've enjoyed much football since Robsons time. Once our fate is decided I think I will start to enjoy it a lot more again because then I can focus my thoughts on Keegan putting things right.
  21. Quoted for truth. Except I admit the ridiculous amount of praise he gets has turned me against him.
  22. I think it had the final scene in it like. In the bowling alley in his house right? The sound was all to hell though and seemed to get more out of sync as the film went on.
