Didn't someone mention that the average premier league wage at it's peak was £13k/week? Give him that. Knock a bit off for perpetual grinning and pointing at other players. He was gutted Keegan made sure the whole team made a point of going right over to the away fans after the whistle. His desparate, arse licking, I love the club as much as all you schtick would have been far less noticeable as a result. I'm sure he'll still have been last man off though.

i'm confused. Our other high brow critic. He hasn't seen most of the films he's banging on about though , so I hope you're the real deal. ha. well i've seen all the films i bang on about. i'm a film student and i'm really into european / non-classical cinema and i think my taste reflects this. that being said, i've not seen everything and i'm open to anything. yeah I agree White is wonderful, but it didn't leave such a last impression on me as Blue did, i love the sensory moments in Blue (scraping knuckles/the glacial movement of the chandlier), something which I feel is missing in the other work I've seen of Kieslowski's (a few of the Dekalogue's and the other Three Colours movies). Tarkovsky, I'm just getting into but Mirror is utterly sublime. easily the most moving piece of cinema I've ever seen. Solaris is excellent as well, but is nowhere near the levels that Mirror hits. i can't really explain why Mirror is so brilliant, because on paper it sounds awful, but it just has to be seen (and believe me, i hate when people say that). i can't wait to see his other films. Bergman is Bergman. you either love him or hate him. Winter Light is Bergman at his most nihilistic and despairing, and that's why I love it but equally it's so damning of the human condition that some may be put off by it. his classic films (Persona, Wild Strawberries, Seventh Seal, Summer With Monika, Fanny & Alexander) are all fabulous but Winter Light definitely had the greatest effect on me. and as for Punch Drunk Love, i think it's P.T. Anderson's best movie because it's easily his most concise. Magnolia is brilliant in moments but at times it feels incoherent and a little rambling, and i was quite unengaged with the Cop's storyline but when it's good, it's spectacular, the Tom Cruise monologue particuarly comes to mind. the same goes, more or less, for Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood, probably more for the former than the latter. There Will Be Blood is my favourite I've seen this year. anyway. enough typing! also, Crimes & Misdemeanors narrowly missed out on that Top 5. Yeah, I've watched all those Bergman ones with variable responses. Wild Strawberries is probably my favourite. I think I was put off Tarkovsky by Soderberg's remake of Solaris. Shouldn't really tar him with that brush but it was dull as an Allardyce team sent out to defend. -

I always get fake paypal emails. I just treat them like a Nigerian prince had sent them. If there's anything on the mail that suggests it's really your card though, don't worry, the card company write that shit off.

i'm confused. Our other high brow critic. He hasn't seen most of the films he's banging on about though , so I hope you're the real deal. Blue is quality, but I really liked white. I've yet to see The Decalogue but it's the only other Kieslowski I'm really drawn to. Would love some other recommendations of his stuff if you're into him. I think The Double Life of Veronica is the only other one of his I've seen and that was lush, though I never had a clue what was going on....which I guess was the point. I love PTA, but have to say There Will be Blood and Magnolia do far more for me than Punch Drunk Love. I've got Hard Eight on pre-order. Never seen the other three, but I've enjoyed what Bergman I have seen. Never even started on Godard or Tarkovsky though. -

It's getting a bit Parky isn't it? -
You should have put on some brown underpants, picked up your acoustic and sang "you light up my life" to him in a heavy Russian accent.

Pilot was blatantly Al Quaeda.

I can believe he asked for it as an opening gambit, basic negotiation technique. I can't believe talks would stall as a result though. We must've made a more sensible counter offer, like £35/hour.

Diana only had one judge in life, they should have been the ones to come to a verdict on her death. A Sun readers poll would have saved a lot of time and effort.
-
disagree with this planning malarkey, as I''ve always done. Allardyce had all last summer, fat lot of good that did. And his 2 best buys both came in on deadline day. I reckon Keegan will want to watch the euro championships to see who he fancies there too, rather than rushing any other buys through beforehand.

Yeah, I never want to see it again, and pretty much the same with Dancer and that, but they completely blew me away like nothing else so they deserve a mention based on one viewing. -

Right! But apart from The Elephant Man, The Straight Story and Wild at Heart. WHAT has David Lynch ever done for us?
-
this definitely isn't true. Straight Story has to be his most straight forward and accesible film. still it's brilliant. It's debateable. They're both true stories told without abstraction. I think you've been taken in by the title of The Straight Story a bit too much.
