red-temptress-of-the-sea:
Can somebody recommend me a good film like one of those that are kind of indie and make you cry and feel miserable because you are alone and nobody will ever love you?
I really love to torture myself watching things like that, you know like “eternal sunshine of the spotless mind”, “science of sleep”, “lars and the real girl”, “amelie”, “everything is illuminated” and...

I've said it before, but...
Inception is NOT ‘the thinking man’s film’, because it is absolute nonsense based on concepts which are simply wrong. Yes it’s a little complex and confusing, but that is not a difficult thing to do in a film if your precepts are so fallacious

Cemetery Junction
When I first saw the film I announced it to be my new favourite film, knowing in the back of my mind that my feelings for it would probably fade over the next few months. Since then however, I’ve watched it so many times I’ve even watched it with director’s commentary THREE times.
Just watched it again now after a hiatus of about six months, and it’s even better than I...

The Last Supper (1995) - 76%
casualmoviereviews:
It’s 1909 in Austria, and you meet a young artist named Adolf. Even though he has done nothing wrong yet - hasn’t formed any Reichs, hasn’t killed anyone - would you kill him? What if it’s nothing quite so bad as Hitler, but perhaps this person is just a bigot; just somebody with abhorrant views based on hatred and fear. If you knew the world would be a better place without...

RIP Hitch, there’ll never be anyone quite like you again.

After Inzaghi scores twice in the first 11 minutes I’m furious, even though I know what happens and it was nearly 13 years ago

Black Mirror "15 Million Merits" (2011) - 74%
casualmoviereviews:
Part two of the Charlie Brooker-penned Black Mirror trilogy is “15 Million Merits”, a dystopian satire concerning our unhealthy relationship with celebrity - and most pertinently our fascination with the X Factor style judge-contestant panel shows. The show is set in an “alternative” reality (bit of satire of my own there) where the only real occupation is to earn merits by...
Overslept by 5 hours. New personal best I reckon.

The Guard (2011) - 78%
casualmoviereviews:
Usually when we think of trans-Atlantic film collaborations, we perhaps understandably assume English-American. Here from John Michael McDonagh (the brother of Martin, writer of In Bruges), comes The Guard: a massively cross-cultural delight which brings FBI agent Wendell Everet (Don Cheadle) into the small Irish town jurisdiction of loveable misanthrope Sergeant O’Doyle...
Corned beef
Why are they persevering with this shitty key-roll system of tin opening? Why haven’t they conformed to the usual system, whereby you don’t break the key (i.e. only way of opening said tin) almost every fucking time. I almost always have to revert to the usual tin opener anyway.
I need names and addresses of these people. I want revenge.
Today
I have watched three games of football, two episodes of Alan Patridge, watched one film and, to break the Gifts of Christmas tone forming, had four tugs.
What a day.
Why is the first metre beyond a football pitch's...
They are, to a pitch, littered with sudden drops, cameramen, CONCRETE - for christ’s sake - and big painful advertising boards
These people are generally running at full pelt when they reach the edge of the pitch, and often tussling with a fully grown man. Have a heart.
Black Mirror "The National Anthem" (2011) - 88%
casualmoviereviews:
Although technically not a film, this hour-long special was the most genuinely gripping, engaging and exciting piece of television I have seen in years. Written and executively produced by the always brilliant Charlie Brooker, Black Mirror part 1 “The National Anthem” concerns a kidnapped people’s princess and a prime minister who has to, well, he has to make sacrifices to...

Why am I still eating?!
I’m more than full on food I can’t really let go to waste and even though I’m shouting at myself to stop, I just keep shovelling the stuff into my fat stupid gob! There’s a very important football match this week, I can’t be 25 stone when I get there.
All about Ricky Gervais... obviously: Week one... →

So I went shopping with Karl.
It’s even more fun than the podcasts because he’s also got real life and the public to contend with as well as me. I was buying Jane a posh clutch bag as for her birthday in the Bond Street area. “That’s nice,” I said pointing at a small purse type…
