    The Hurt Locker

    Maybe should have put this in the film thread but would highly recommend this film. For those who liked Jarhead is quite similar. It's about a bomb disposal in the current war in Iraq, and a new team leader who is reckless. The film focuses on character relationships and the psychological...

    Question A question

    How long is an acceptable time to wait for a reply from a girl after asking her to the cinema, a week, two weeks? Trying to actually think of when i sent it though.

    Cash Convertors

    I've been tasked with flogging our old Home Cinema system, I am toying with the idea of a collection only eBay sale or sticking it on my local Gumtree site, but before I do, has anybody had any example of flogging stuff to Cash Convertors? I am guessing I might not get as much as if I held out...

    Angels and Demons

    Anyone have any interest in watching this? I had to play it through at work tonight to make sure everything was OK for the public shows tomorrow, and it is alright - watchable, but nothing to get overly excited about. Not as good as the da Vinci code - Take that as a good or bad thing in your...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...

    Listen To The Lessons Of Clough

    On the weekend that saw the UK release of the Brian Clough movie 'The Damned United', it was alarming to see Manchester United's discipline crumbling in a way that 'Old Big 'Ed' would never have tolerated. The legendary Nottingham Forest and Derby manager was rarely short of a quote and I can...

    Good Golly, It's Jolly From The Wally With The Brolly

    Home is where the points are. After two successive defeats on the road, Manchester City returned to form at The Eastlands, picking up a much needed 3-2 victory over FC Twente, but they were really made to work for it by Steve McClaren's new team. England, under the former Middlesbrough...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 2 - GlasgowSUFC

    This week, Ricardo from Glasgow takes time to answer some questions on being exiled from Southend. Above is him at the Mill. Stad, 2005. 1) How long have you been an exile? A) I haven’t actually lived in Essex for over 20 years now but only have classed myself as a true exile for the 8...
  9. Into The Wild

    Anyone seen this film? Just watched it and by far the best film of the year (although it came out at the cinema in late 2007). Worth watching and a brilliant soundtrack by Eddie Vedder too add.

    Orange Wednesday - Cinema

    Going to see the new Batman film next week and wanted to go on Wednesday to take advantage of the good old Orange Wednesday promotion. I know you have to get the code on your phone and all that business, but was just wondering if anyone knows whether you can book in advance with it? Or do you...
  11. Summer Heights High

    Just watched this Aussie comedy on the BBC I Player - very funny, a Cinema Veritie fake documentary stylee like The Office. I recommend it highly, which surely is all the guidance you need? http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b00c3tws.shtml?src=ip_potpw Also on BBC3 sometime in the week.

    Chick Flicks it's OK for guys to like

    All the recent chat about the SitC movie has made me think what "chick flicks*" are acceptable to us males. Over the years, I've seen a fair few of them (that's what having a Cineworld £10 a month cinema pass did for you) and there are definitely certain ones that men can enjoy. Off the top of...

    Apprentice week 9

    Don't know how many were watching what with some football match going on in Russia, thought this was going to be a pretty naff task this week, but what a shock at the end. Teams were shaken up again, pitching Alex as SAS's choice of PM with Lee and Lucinda in Alpha against PM Raef (again...

    Film website

    A friend of mine is setting up a movie website over the weekend and he asked me to write a review of a film that, in my opinion, has been ruthlessly over-looked by critics and cinema audiences alike. He's very eager for material and I know that there's a lot of immensely talented writers on...

    The cinema

    I havent been for a long time but actually quite enjoy going. I do think that unless you bag up an orange Wednesday ticket/voucher, that it is very overpriced especially by the time you have paid £15 for a box of popcorn and £9.95 for a drink. However I still like the whole cinema experience...

    Following on from DtS thread about total let down films I thought I start something along the same lines, On Sunday evening I went to see Superbad with this girl (Different girl to the thread a couple weeks back). I loved it, really found it hilarious. Now I have two best mates, one of which...
