haha...we arrived a bit late for the party...only got here about 150 years ago.

Back on topic...one film I can and do happily watch again and again is Galaxy Quest...no idea why but I love it. On the subject of sci-fi I thought Serenity was fantastic...love the humour in it.

Does anyone know the name of the recent film that is about a man from India who wins a million dollars (or something like that)? Supposed to be pretty good.

In Bruges.

Darkly funny. Some good laughs with a dark motif.

While elements of the script were funny, I thought it weird that Colin Farrell, an Irishman, was sounding like an American acting like an Irishman. If that makes sense....

I saw in on a flight in November - one of those 9 hour flights where you cant sleep or get pissed. It was very good and I was disappointed when it finished. Belgium is such an exiting place. There are 3 types of retial premises - Bar........chocolate shop and lingerie shop....all within 10 metres - f#@$%îng fantastic. No wonder they seem so boring. Go out and lager up, grab a chocolate bar and a teddy and piss off home at 10pm

Wife and I saw Gran Torino on Saturday night. Well worth watching, although I knew nothing about it going in and no real expectations on what it was going to be like.
