fugitive

Just finished watching Ink. What a superb film, it absolutely blew me away. Easily the best film I've watched this year.

Agreed. It's worth it for the sport. Also, I didn't have a Sky+ box before and I totally love it now. Stuff like Lost looks brilliant on HD as well.

Really ? I watched the 1st ep. of season 2 and haven't bothered with the rest yet.

Best thing on telly just now is Season 2 of Sons of Anarchy . Edit - just realised it's only on in America just now

my 11 year old daughter's reaction to this was; "Great, now X-men is going to have magic ponies"

I've watched a few films recently but the only one that was better than ok was Franklyn. Never heard anything about it before I watched so didn't know what to expect (which is how I like it). It was quite interesting - anyone else seen it ?

Yeah that scene killed 2 for me as well - IIRC it was right at the start of the film as well. 3 is still nowhere near as good as 1 but because 2 lowered your expectations so much it is still watchable.

I've read a lot of Donaldson as well. I couldn't get into Eddings or Brooks but I loved all the Raymond Feist series of Magician books.

I watched a film called Religulous last night. Bill Maher discussed religion with a host of different religious leaders and followers. I thought it was just going to be him taking the piss out of all these folk but he talks to them from a very informed stand-point and is able to hold his own with them all - in fact in many cases his religious knowledge is better than some of TV evangelist type idiots. It is, however, very funny at points and I laughed out loud several times as he pointed out the idiocy of some 'religious' beliefs. Recommended

It's actually a myth that you need a good graphics card. Although I did get a good one in the end this was because I also wanted to play games on it. The best place for you to go is AVForums as they have a specialist thread about this very thing and you''ll get all the info you need. Here you go Home Cinema PCs - AVForums.com

Thanks for posting the link. I hope he stays away from The Shield movie idea though

That was an amazing episode. Real WOW factor !

Yeah, they've really raised the bar again with Season 7 . I wasn't impressed with 6 - a real non event ..possibly due to Fantastic 4 commitments ? (or was it the writers strike ?) I'm back to looking forward to the next episode every week now. Can't help you out Johnny Mac, I delete them after viewing sorry.

Season 7 is getting better every episode

lol, I've never been able to look at Forrest Whitaker the same since he appeared in the Shield. Glenn Close was good too but I find it hard to watch her plastic face too much. I'll need to check out Sons of Anarchy - sounds ok

Where have you been ? I think I'm on Series 7 just now - which I believe is the last one.

I've watched the 1st 2 episodes. I'm not over impressed so far. Instead I've found an Australian drama called Underbelly which is pretty good.

lol, I did cure a noisy neighbour problem once with the help of a Marshall amp. I guess it was along the lines of Corcodile Dundee's 'you call that a knife ?'

Lol - me too, and only then coz they referred to her as 'she'. Can't understand a word she says but still one of the best characters. Season 5 was ace. (The new season of the Shield starts soon too )

I saw it a few weeks ago on 'dvd'. Its.....different !

Ah well what do I know. I've usually seen it long before it hits these shores

I believe it is shown on FX.

4's a bit of a filler building up to 5 which is (as I said) superb

They're both very good shows but completely different in style. Whilst The Shield is a lot more in your face kicking down doors style, the Wire is more about the kids on the 'corners' and the surveillance of them. I still recommend it but don't expect the same as The Shield.

I've just finished watching season 5 of the Wire - superb
