Happy Face 29 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 SATURDAY 14TH JULY THE DAM BUSTERS 4.40pm Channel 4 One I really want to see. Shame it's on in the middle of the day with adverts. MAN ON FIRE 10.45pm BBC1 Excellent action/thriller, well worth a curry and stopping in on Saturday for. SUNDAY 15TH JULY HERO 9pm Film4 Strangely I enjoyed it despite it's very dubious politics. Gorgeous. ONCE IN A LIFETIME: THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE NEW YORK COSMOS 10.30pm BBC2 Football documentary about the New York Cosmos and the stars brought in during the 70's to sell football to the yanks. One for footy fans...as I assume you all are. MONDAY 16TH JULY PSYCHO 10pm ITV4 Hitchcock. Legend. TUESDAY 17TH JULY INTOLERABLE CRUELTY 8pm ITV2 Terrible as far as the Coen's canon goes, but for a Hollywood romantic comedy it's excellent THE SHINING 10pm ITV4 Best horror ever, by the man who did the best sci-fi ever, the best war film ever and one of the best comedies ever. ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA 10pm More4 I still don't get it. My least favourite Leone film. THURSDAY 19TH JULY DELIVERANCE 10pm ITV4 Squeal piggy FRIDAY 20TH JULY ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND 9pm Film4 One of the best films of this century. Michel Gondry (did all them weird Bjork videos) directs with his usual visual flair, but the fantastic camera trickery never gets in the way of one of the the all time great screenplays. An excellent premise (erasing memories of soured relationships...including the good stuff) that is followed through to an immensley satisfying and true finale. Charlie Kauffman is a legend.

THURSDAY 19TH JULY DELIVERANCE 10pm ITV4 Squeal piggy Agreed for the most part, Man on Fire is for me the best movie since Gladiator, Once in a lifetime I enjoyed, very topical with the Beckham situation, Once upon a time in America, I found tideous, overlong but very well acted, and Deliverance is just a must see movie.

Pele going through Rodney Marsh was class too. Gertcha! That was a hell of a foul! I enjoyed the documentary, quite a bit i didn't know about what happened back then. Shame it didn't catch on and as Carlos Alberta said, it was 86 when they should have given the world cup to USA to try and build somethignrather than give it to Mexico a second time, if they were serious about breaking football in the US. Also a shame that the Warners bloke who'd done everything to try and make football big, died 2 years before he would have seen the world cup there. But as they pointed out at the end, and something else i saw on tv, millions of kids in the USA play football, in fact somewhere i heard more play that than the other 3 major sports put together, because whether the americans want to admit it or not, it is the single best sport to play at any level. Also funny seeing Werner Roth who was one of the NY Cosmos players, but more importantly was also the captain of the Germany team in 'Escape to victory' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 It's played a lot because it's cheap too (for insurance etc. as well as equipment compared to US Football for example). Because of that it's played a huge amount in private schools where they simply can't afford the insurance. One problem they do have in terms of developing young talent is that they have a rolling subs thing in junior football (or at least they did have) a la US Football, basketball etc. which tends to make the game very 'helter skelter' and even quicker than the game over here. This means that 'cultured' players don't come to the fore so much. They also inevitably lose a lot of athletes to other sports where the financial rewards are greater. You can guarentee America would be shit hot at football if they ever properly got their act together though imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 I liked the fella talking about the Italian striker wanting to be president. "he might be a carpenter, that doesn't make him an architect too". Then at the end it told you what he does now...."carpenter and architect" Great analogy.

I'm gonna give this one another go seeing as you never shut the fuck up about it. Its decent enough - but nowt special. Agreed. I'm glad you thought it was decent. I'm a reasonable man and can accept that tastes differ. You bring your own personal memories and baggage with you when you watch a film like this, and depending on those experiences different people will take different thinks. Having said that, ESOTSM is without doubt the single most perfectly realised film on everything that's good about a relationship that went wrong. It's an uplifting, visual poem on some of the most excrutiating feelings we experience. And anyone who doesn't agree is a fucking moron. Just kidding, but I do enjoy it more and more with every viewing. Which is something, considering I loved it to bits the first time around.

Guest alex Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 It's a class film and Kate Winslet and Jim Carey are both fantastic in it imo. You've summed it up beautifully HF. It does get better the more you watch it too. It has a poetic beauty and you can totally lose yourself in it. That's what I reckon anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
