Here are the films I watched at Easter, with reviews.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Some are telly programmes.

1. Withnail and I.

Hasn't changed. The best bit is still King Curtis' live 'Whiter Shade of Pale'.

2. Life of Brian.

Blessed are the cheesemakers. :hehe:

3. Atonement.

Bit miserable. Plus, one minute he was fine, and the next he was dead of septicaemia. Wouldn't that take a while to kick in?

4. Bridge of Spies.

Lovely stuff. Like a warm, comforting blanket. Spielberg and Hanks dfoing what they do best, and Mark Rylance playing Mark Rylance.

5. The Lady In the Van.

Too much of Maggie Smith's poopy. I kept imagining her crusty old sphincter.

6. Carole.

Dull, dull, dull. Gave up after an hour. No lezzing at all.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

Cause Celebre
The Golem
Alexander Nevsky
Il Gioiello
Five On A Treasure Island

[Berni]

You should watch Bone Tomahawk. There's a superb scalping/being cut in half crotch first sequence, apart from anything else.

[Berni]

They're just films - but not as good.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I believe I am going on Sunday.

[Mo Britain less Europe]

my scene.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Also because it's got Batman and f**king Superman in it.

What kind of comic-reading sex deviuant are you?

[Berni]

used to play the leisure centre manager in 'A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie'. Once I read that, I kept expecting him to say 'Damn you, Marjorie!' all the time. :hehe:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

For a start, nothing happens.

At the theatre it is a magical experience.

There are other examples.

Boys of that age like that ****.

It is his 7 year old sister’s birthday, today in fact. She wants to go to the cinema but chances of a 7 year old girl and a 9 year old boy settling on the same choice?

As a parent you do these things. On the plus side I will get a large bag of pick & mix, perhaps some popcorn and relax, gently nursing what I hope to be but a mild hangover.

And yes, I am led to believe it is a very poor film.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Your response is simply blaming on your boots the faults of your feet.

DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE AS WELL?

[Berni]

watch it due to it being tedious dreck. However, put it in a theatre, where the credulously pretentious audience is only too willing to say they see the Emperor's non-existent clothes and he gets a f**king Nobel Prize.

What a load of ****.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Actually you'd be right to say the same about Hamlet :-(

Some things simply work better on stage. Journey's End. A Man For All Seasons. Anything by Coward.

[Berni]

And he's a tedious little whiny prick.

Basically, what you're saying is that plays need to be extremely limited in their scope - set largely indoors and ideally in one room for preference - and involve huge amounts of arch and unrealistic dialogue to be able to compete on stage with what can be done on film.

I got very excited.

[7evens]

There are very few films as crushingly boring as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[7evens]

You really must check out ' The Tunnel ' first series on Sky catch up.
I'd put money on it you'll be pleasantly surprised.
