MMXXVIII 1293 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 For some reason I'd never watched it so had a crack at Requiem for a Dream earlier. Pure shite, turned it off. Watched Buffalo '66 again after to restore balance and we all lived happily ever after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last book I read was "You don't have to be mad to work here" by Benji Waterhouse. It's a warts and all account of the first few years of a Psychiatric Dr's experience in the NHS. It's fairly funny and depressing in equal measure. Similar to Adam Kay's book. Went to Uni with the author who's a nice lad and a Newcastle fan to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10828 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 4 minutes ago, Gemmill said: Benji is not an adult human's name. I agree, but he doesn't like Ben or Benjamin. He actually speaks about the choice with his therapist, in the book. Essentially a subconscious attempt to cling onto his childhood, or something.

The window cleaner lad was a bit part. Fucking Claire Grogan though. I still twitch when I think of her in that film. Really captures the zeitgeist and the feeling of being young and hormonal. Love this film. Full film on YouTube btw. Bullshit window cleaner nonce quote on 44 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit window cleaner nonce quote on 44 minutes. 'Gregory' actor living his best life with Claire Grogan and Dee Hepburn. It is a good film, like. Reminds me of the older kids when I was a bairn.

Renton 21510 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Using my first night alone to watch Kill Bill 1 and 2 double bill, probably for the first time in 10 years. The films themselves are 21 years old now. They are fucking brilliant though. They just don't make films as good as this nowadays. Tarantino is easily my favourite director even if his work is as rare as rocking horse shit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21510 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Is there a better fight scene in film history than the bride vs the crazy 88? This is insane. "This is what you get for fucking around with yakuzas. Go home to your mother". Edited July 25 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
