Watson & Oliver second series started Thursday night bbc2.Can't make up my mind about this comedy duo. Most sketches are fairly bland and the punchlines (if any) often don't deliver but i do like the pair of them somehow, regardless.Maybe i'm their target demographic tee hee

Thanks again wrote:me and a mate were talking about how Fräulein the barmaid looked was her NAME "fraulein", or is that a descriptive term with which i am unfamiliar? ("that barmaid is WELL fraulein, innit.") i am now up to date with 'parks and rec'.  i hate having to wait a week for things. tom just said something was "chronicles of ridiculous". if anyone thinks i am not now going to use that every single day, they are SORELY mistaken.

I've still got Blue Valentine half-watched on my tellybox recorder thing. There's realism and then there's just... boring. Having said that, the director's current film, The Place Beyond The Pines (also starring Ryan Gosling) is pretty good. It feels like about three different movies, but not in a bad way. Perhaps because it feels like three movies sequentially rather than concurrently.

I think this may be his most serious role yet, and he does fine. It's funny how women talk about male actors in terms of whether they fancy them (and men do the same about actresses). But as a bloke I didn't think once about whether I fancied Gosling, just that he tends be a decent actor. As soon as Eva Mendes appeared on screen though i went "mmm she's definitely not wearing a bra...".

As soon as Eva Mendes appeared on screen though i went "mmm she's definitely not wearing a bra...". ha! i object to this in the strongest possible terms. i only mentioned gosling's alleged sex appeal because it baffles me. normally, i am VERY WELL-BEHAVED when it comes to not objectifying gentlemen on the big screen. (mind you, i'm going to watch iron man 3 tonight, and i fully intend to objectify the pants off robert downey jr.) fassbender's another one getting a lot of exposure and critical attention at the moment. i have to say he did a brilliant job in jane eyre, and fish tank, but i don't really understand the sex symbol status. bradley cooper was the lead in silver linings playbook. i will never be able to take him seriously after 'the hangover'(which i hated), and 'he's just not that into you' (another shocker). and let's face it, he's no dirk benedict.

I'd watched Attack The Block quite recently so recognised her quite early on in Broadchurch. She was also in the Entire History Of You episode from the first series of Black Mirror

She played opposite Tony Kebbell in that episode. My favourite of the first series though was Fifteen Million Merits. Every time i hear I Have A Dream by Abba since then i can't help but think of the opening scenes to that episode.Also brilliant scenes in that episode were Bing's speech and Jessica Brown-Findlay singing Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)

yes, he was very good. i seem to remember watching it on boxing day or something equally incongruous. PEACE AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN. robert downey jr has bought the films rights. anyway, LOOK AT THIS! new channel 4 series 'skint'"Brand new three-part observational documentary series, Skint tells provocative and revealing stories from the inside out about how people survive without work. The series focuses on the lives of a group of people who are either in long-term unemployment, have never worked, or are growing up without any expectation of working." made in scunny, innit.

Watching Elton John on bbc4, has there ever been a less likely looking pop star I wonder, the footage of him in action from the '70s is truly horrific even by the standards of the time...

nice little interview in today's observer with olivia colmanshe really has gone up in my estimation. i keep thinking about the scene with her reaction to the news in the broadchurch finale. that moment where she's retching - so painfully real.

I'm looking forward to hearing Elton's collab with Queens Of The Stone Age on their new album. According to Josh Homme, Elton phoned him up and said 'The only thing missing from your band is an actual queen!'

i click to quote one person, then copy the text in this little writing box, go back to the thread, click to quote the next person, paste the copied text into the little writing box. voila! two quotes. or you could do it using the html e.g. [ quote=name ] before the quote and [ /quote ] at the end, without spaces. or there's probably a much simpler and easier way to do it that i don't know...

Well i watched this film Looking For The Sugar Man. About this Rodriguez guy who should have been the next Bob Dylan apparently but disappeared and was thought to have killed himself on stage in the 70s. Turned out he was still alive and the film is about how he was tracked down and made some comeback concerts in South Africa where he was massive.It was alright i spose but then i'm not South African. Had heard rave reviews about it so gave it a go. Should have known better though as on of the rave reviewers was Edith fucking Bowman.God, sorry but i can't stand that woman. I just think she's horrible.I really should have known better than go on one of her reviews, ugh. Edited by user 08 May 2013 13:39:59(UTC)
