View Full Version : as its a bit quiet
i am prolly supposed to advertise this bit of the site...cos its a bit quiet,
or its not a bit ppl don't want to post in.
so i'll type of a film i got recently!
"sweet and lowdown" one by woody allen which is good!
good kinda jazz music plus original story and funny bits and drama bits.
i think it has loads of good actor ppl playing all the characters and is most goodest because i enjoyed the music it had through...kinda jazzey or swing guitar....not heard much of before but sounded good.
hope that wasn't too high brow;)
something about the top books is on, of the ones i have seen so far i haven'tt read many (arart from the odd pratchett or roal dahl ones :P) but my vote goes to the "his dark materials" trilogy by philip pullman, i am only half way thorugh the first book but its very good! , it has the best beginning to a book i have yet read
Ooooo topical digression
This post was brought to you by the letters "A" and "F" and some slightly dodgey chinese food.

Hi there film maestro :D
Never really liked Woody Allen myself...
Had fantastic Chinese takeawy last night: Chicken in OK sauce and Beef Chow Mein (not all to myself, but nearly :lol: :rolleyes: ).
Can we publicise a film premiere for ITV here?
The X-men is on on Wednesday at 9pm. Good film, but not half as good as the cartoon - wasn't that fab? :D
PS. For good guitar sounds watch "Paris, Texas" - and get the soundtrack by Ry Cooder - great stuff, that is :D .
i like xmen, as it has mr Patrick Stewart in it, I like bald older men.....in films that is not in real life!!

Good job too, eh Matthew?

Holly_running_like_a_cheetah.......
Is the X-Men any good then?
Is it worth me shunting everyone off to bed on time so's I can sit down with a big bag of crisps and watch it?
My neice was saying she might like to see it, but not happy about it being on ITV (she's ad-o-phobic :blink: ).
:D
Is Matthew really bald?? :innocent: :whistle:

Did you watch the cartoon X-Men and like it? If so, you'll probably enjoy the film because all the same characters are in: Storm, Wolverine, ...ooops forgotten the others :lol: .
Great for a couple of hours immersing yourself into something fun and entertaining. :thumbs:
Hollys film rating: 8/10

I'll give it a shot - if my pea brain remembers it's on ! :wacko: :D
I'll have to plan with military precision to get shot of the family first to bed though...:zzz:
Matthew has a full head of blond locks!! :lol:
the effects were kinda good on xmen
i saw x-men, it was on ages ago on some day when i wanted to get lost for while, and got "x-men" off front row, when that existed and it was good ole bubblegum fun! ..enjoyed it and did get lost for a while if i remember rightly, it was ages ago but i do remember thinking "that was fun" plus the blue girl wearing only paint!
OK, Sold, I'm planning my evening off as of now!!!
:eat: :pizza: :beer: :tooth: :zzz:

X men, sorry didn't get it.....tried but failed. But then I'm not a huge anti-realist :rolleyes:
Vern, what have the letters A and F to do with it? Lost me, there :P
In respect of food, can't do with Chinese, give me a good curry anytime :D
Anyone seen "Picnic at Hanging Rock"? c. 1977. Stunning and spooky.

:D Sapph,
Our Vern' looks like he's a bit of a Sesame Street fan and that prog always had two letters (and a number) 'hosting' it :lol: I though that was what it was all about -but I could be wrong, after all it's Vernon we're talking about here (!!) :D
Aww, your sort of putting me off the film now as you'll know I'm not the best with fantasy/sci-fi, but I'm trying to educate myself :hihi:
it'll be okay...i expected a silly hokem popcorn type film...and thats what it was.
i like all the escapist stuff...i enjoy the "being somewhere else or thinking about something i hadn't really thought of before",
wether thats being in a war or being covered in blue paint...again...*huhum*
I wasn't expecting *insert title of film you think was reallly deep and meaningful here*
Not heard of "picnic at hanging rock " till now.
Maybe a bit random but i like the "the doors - the end" song... i just thought of that as i just found it and thought "i like that song".
"whats for breakfast"

"Picnic at Hanging Rock" is a beautiful film and is apparently based on a true story(?) Quite haunting in places, it's a definite one to see.

Yep, BC, I think it was based on a true story. Beautifully filmed too ;) . Mazza, no wonder I didn't get that, then! Never seen Sesame Street ;)
Vern....breakfast...porridge.
Sapph :D
