    Just saw this and friends with money, both really good, but completely different.

     

    Hard Candy wasnt what i expected, but in a good way, i know it makes me sound sadistic but the castration wasnt harsh enough, lack of blood, pain, etc. But the girl was excellent, i just hope shes not the next haley jole osmund, one hit film then fades into obscurity

     

    ellen has got the tracey fragments and an american crime coming out next year. both seem v. interesting. left of centre again

    Why the hell not?? :o Surely in Portugal itself there has to be a Portuguese language expression for it.

     

    What I respect about the French is that the "Academie Francais" absolutely refuses to allow any non-French expressions in the French language, thus France maintains its cultural identity. Isn't there an equivalent Portuguese thing...?

     

    Well theres probs a version in Portugal but maybe its not taken seriously in Brazil? probs like american english and british english?

     

    isnt Portugal the place that you can get arrested if you call your kid something like plantpot or vacuuummcleaner (or other celeb daft names :lol: ), have to call them approved Portugese names!! or is that place Norway?

    Has Elvis's Are You Lonesome Tonight got a talk part in the middle? I think heard somewhere it did.

     

    is this like a live one your talking about? the one where he's p***ing himself laughing at something on stage in vegas or somewhere. ive heard this very bizarre!! :lol:

    however from what i could see a lot of the sale stuff is the same as before or from the 3 for 2 stock (as usual) and some things are slightly cheaper in tescos.

     

    for example this was in tescos for £6.46. in hmv for £7.99

    Verdict

     

    I suppose it was alright, one of those films that you could watch on BBC2 without taking much notice. probably would fail to remember that you've seen it within a few weeks :lol: wouldnt go out of my way to see it (killing time before hard candy) and probably worth £3.99 on DVD if you like those kind of movies.

     

    i suppose if you want a really good British comedy suppose you better rent this:

    on imdb 38.8% of users give it 10/10 giving it 6.8/10 from 1,113 votes.

     

    i'll give it 3 (one extra star for having happy together by tutles on the soundtrack, cool very old tune by some 60s beat combo)

    on the other hand this is a britcom called imagine me and you, the likes you've probably seen loads and loads of time before.

    it stars Piper Perabo, Lena Headey, Anthony Stewart Head, Celia Imrie and Sue Johnston, and is co=produced by BBC films (as is M.S.O.L. and Match Point) so it will probably be on BBC 2 by Xmas.

     

    I suppose it will feel similar to people watching Carry On films in the 1970s, a film still hanging on to a style of a previous film comedy era. It exactly the same as every other britcom, but with the added usp of lesbians.

     

    this being 2006 and not 1976 its a big manly bull dyke free zone as we know these people donot exist in the mejja today (yep that article by that gay studies woman the other week in the paper does have a big point). we know that the flower lady Luce (Lena Headey) is a lesbian straight away as she has tatoos and boho clothes and works in a flower shop called flowered up in an oh so swanky part of London.

     

    we know we are in England britcomland as everybody is bumbling, upscale and has whato names like Coop and heck. The major characters are all about 29, have wonderful jobs in swanky new offices over looking the sights of London and live in loft apartments full of antique furniture.

     

    also people say lots of funny english words like bollocks, wanky and arse, nothing to naughty apart from the mother (Celia Imrie) uses the f-word in a comedy highlight. also the mother seems to be a thinly disgused version of the Queen to Anthony Head's Prince Phillip, as being a britcom poor people types are thin on the ground. There's also the wacky best friend to go drinking flat pints in the local pub (as they cannot be seen drinking wine all the time!!!) and another character H (no, not the guy from Steps, but a girl called Henrietta played by Boo Jackson) who asks all these questions.

     

    might be spoilers here, then again might be not!!!

     

    its also so so obvious!!! When Piper Perabo's character goes into the video rental shop to get some pwano you just know that her mother's gonna come in, and when a random wacky guy comes into the shop to buy a flower to remember him by you just know its gonna be a rude looking cacti in a very fallic looking pose. yes its that obvious!!!

    this is a fricking cool film called My Summer Of Love starring Natalie Press, Emily Blunt and the always watchable Paddy Considine. It was directed by Pawel Pawlikowski who also did that film about the Russian Asylum seeker who ended up with her kid at the seaside. Its very very good and def one to have a look at!!

    Who was on Top of the Pops on August 9th 1984 and why is it missing from the archives?

     

    from wiki

    Missing episodes

    In common with many shows that aired in the sixties and seventies, early editions of Top of the Pops were either wiped, or not recorded at all. Some editions exist only partially (largely performances that were either pre-recorded or re-used in later editions). There are also cases of editions which only exist in their raw, unedited form. The oldest complete episode in existence is the Boxing Day 1967 edition (only 4 complete editions from the 1960s survive). The last edition no longer in the archives is dated August 9th 1984. All editions after this date exist in full
