Quickest thread split since December '63. Great work Frankie.

Thought you'd like Train to Busan, Tina.  Glad you enjoyed it and didn't waste your £3.49.  

Started watching Prisoners once a few years ago but the resemblance between one of the little girls and my oldest daughter was uncanny and it made it unwatchable so we gave up after 15 minutes.  Never gone back to it.    

Had all the makings of a disturbing watch if the acting had been better and the plot less improbable as it developed. Should really reserve judgment until I've watched the end but I can sense the obligatory twist coming.

Sh*t on here today.

Home working, The Masters & Aintree festival, means I am a "busy" boy today

One of my clients is stupidly thinking of buying another company and the due diligence exercise is painful and needs to be finished by tomorrow lunchtime.

Ugh, tedious, you have my sympathy.

Clients. I remember them.

Was just going to say that. Most probably the tension before my review of the second half of Prisoners building up.

Just had a mail from Tripadvisor about finalising the details of my visit to Runcorn. C*nts.

L*l out loud.

There is a really good thread in the travel section about Runcorn, Galted.

Tell those c*nts at TripAdvisor you've already got it covered.

Fist.

The second half of Prisoners was more silly than tedious, but just as mediocre as the first. The obligatory twist wasn't as sh*t as anticipated.

Sicond.

So what's next, Galted?

I've got some old classics stored on my Foxtel which I haven't bothered to look at although I've seen them all before - ages ago.
Among them The Manchurian Candidate, Bullitt, El Cid (watched about half of it... so slow) and The Sands of Iwo Jima plus a few others like Pork Chop Hill and Stalag 17.

Should really watch Raging Bull as I'm ashamed to say that I still haven't seen it, nor any that you mentioned.  Bound to meet some resistance on that though so more than likely will end up being a Hitchcock or Woody Allen which are our gotos when when can't agree.

A while back we were going through old Oscar best film winners, but some have just dated too badly - notably How Green Was My Valley and Rebecca, so that project is currently on hold.

Tird.

Just bought tickets this morning to go and see Canadian noise merchants, Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the Barrowlands in Glasgow in January 2022. An act of faith given the likelihood that we'll probably still be in some form of lockdown.

Raging Bull is tremendous and well worth a watch. Likewise The Manchurian Candidate and Bullitt. Saw El Cid years ago and can't remember anything about it apart from the unintentionally hilarious ending.

Just had a quick Google of them. Sound alright actually.

I had you more of a Shania Twain guy. Or maybe KEANE if you were really in a rebellious mood. Full of surprises, Supes.

Be careful in Glasgow. Bad things happen there.

Just booked ticket to go see The Offspring at Leeds

I'm debating whether to go and see Del Amitri in Birmingham.

I think someone is upset with a ban - all the admins got an PM today from 'Oliver Pullout'

"You are all fagots, because you have banned new members from registering on this wonderful forum, the admin's mother is a wh*re, and the admin's father f*cks with ******, suck d*ck, freaks!"

Fagots with one 'g'?! What's wrong with some people?

Maybe he's French.

I must admit, the fagot with one 'g' was the stand out irritant in this juvenile diatribe.

Out of interest, what does the admins (sic) father f*ck with?

Alas Poor Prince Julius Philip, I knew him well.

I knew Shah would rock up for a royal death.

How's it going my good man?

All good and all bad. Not sure at the moment lol. Holiday in June still looking dicey so depends on how the next few days pan out. How about you? On the road or flat tyre?

On the road mate, bit cruise control at the moment but all gravy. I'm sure you will be fine dear chap

Wonder if Liz will bang us in a cheeky bank holiday next week?

They are brilliant, but are a bit of an acquired taste and it can take a few listens of any of their albums before they start to make any sense. Expect it will be me and my mate and a thousand or so middle age men standing around clutching our beers and watching the time so we can make the last train home.

I could not read the 'diatribe' without imagining it being spoken by John Cleese's French knight from the Holy Grail film.

If she puts in a week I'd be 800 quid up. So here's hoping

The bitch didnt even put one bank holiday in. Ah well at least Tino got something out of it, for the next week or so he might not be the odd one out at the school drop off point.

Fist gon give it to ya.

Sicond rate.

Lazy tird. Don't know why I am even here given I am not working this week.

Fourth f*ck's sake.

Looking forward to getting a hair cut this week, my mop is currently like Micky Flanagan and I am sick of the missus asking if I am going "out out"

Watched another superhero film yesterday. Justice League. I get very confused with the whole DC/Marvel thing and I'm still not sure of the etiquette around them but it was a terrible film. Saved by Gal Gadot which made the 2 hours tolerable. There is plenty to wonder about with that woman.

Also watched the directors cut of Aliens. Not sure why as I've seen it at least 5 times but I still found myself watching it at 1:15 in the morning. Such a great film.

You need to watch the 4 hour Snyder cut...

But it is not a good film.

The sentry gun scene in Aliens is one of my favorite scenes in any film.

Tino, do you want to know what films I've been watching?

I don't need 4 hours of it, rICko. 2 hours of Gal is enough for me.

Yeah, the sentry gun scene is outstanding. Loads of great scenes in that film. People get very snobbish about it, especially fans of Alien (which is also brilliant) but Aliens as a standalone film is awesome. There are not that many sequels as good as that.

JuliusHMarx wrote:Tino, do you want to know what films I've been watching?

Yes please, Jules.

I am going for The Goonies, On the Waterfront, Ben Hur, The Exorcist III and Porky's.

Yep Alien and Aliens 2 very different feels, same as Terminator and Terminator 2, people don't get sh1tty about those.

What have you been watching, Jules? You give very DMX vibez off so I am just glad you are here.

I haven't watched any recently but when I do, I'll be sure to post in the Films section of the site.

It's fine, Jules. Plenty of people like Porky's. Don't be shy.

I see the Libertines have announced a tour, Tino

rIck_dAgless wrote:I see the Libertines have announced a tour, Tino

Yep, I did see that. I contemplated trying to get some tickets but decided against it. I've seen them a couple of times. One occasion was brilliant and the other was a car crash when Doherty could barely remember any lyrics or chords. I was too old to be amused by it and contemplated asking for a refund before having a stern word with myself.

Not sure Barat and Doherty hate each other enough at the moment to recapture the magic. Have you seen Doherty recently? He is a proper bloater these days.

Yeah he is a tuuby bitch right enough.

I am contemplating getting tickets when they go on sale on Friday.

See now you're giving me FOMO. Geoff/Jeff did that when the Roses last toured.

It is only 10 or 15 shows I think? Could have got that wrong. I might make a late decision now. You've got me thinking.

We need to co-ordinate ticket purchases. Can't afford to breach rules and be in the same arena.

This isn't The View and we are not kids anymore.

Should be cool, Tino, the North/South divide should keep it real and shizz.

Unless you to halves on a couple of bags and a few Garys?

No.2 son watched the Snyder version yesterday. Proud of him doing that so I don't have to. He said it was terrible.
