On my Ordinary Army forums Ive changed the nasty C swear word to rabbits, most amusing reading people calling each other rabbits...

awww.... well, what can I say.. I'm a professional! Anyhoooo, any films you want reviewing for now?

Grace will go... I cant wait for Davina to show her what a f-ing t*** she's been in there. I cant believe she was actually genuinely upset people were chanting Get grace Out the other day - IS SHE STUPID!?! Then there's the problem of the other housemates after. I mean, they are all too thick to realise Grace was a backstabbing cow, so they all like her.

Tigerboy: He has relatives in the States.

Paul Newman. That is all.

True. Although, most young people of this generation wouldn't know that because Hitler/the two wars etc etc isn't an everyday issue for them, so when the subject's brought up they tell what the general (and nearly always mis-informed) knowledge is: that the German's invaded England and France and Hitler started the War. Mis-informed, I know, but that is the common view, and so that's what they have been brought up to know. You have got to think about it from today's society's POV, as that's what the question is about: today's society. Indeed, I agree, but the 2nd WW was a result of everyone's mistakes. And I don't think anyone is blaming the GERMANS as a whole race. It was Hitler that was the leader. However, He is not immune just because Chamberlain was a right Royal prat. Hitler didn't have to have a paddy at the Geneva Disarmament Conference. The British allowed him to build up the German Navy, which (with the reamament after his Geneva paddy) didn't help either as it gave him the arms to bomb Guernica! He went and did that all on his own, Britain didn't bully him into that. Of course, supporting Franco in the Spanish Civil War was nice of him, wasn't it?! In regards to Germany now. I don't care if you are black, white, brown, green, blue, purple or pink. If you are nice to me, I'm nice to you back.

No.. not even that song. Do you know about the time the lead singer phoned Preston up at the studio? I mearly peed myself when Simon told me.

Well that's telling you something then innit..

Awwww.... cute doggy... Anyhoooo... what's wrong with a bit of the Lep? POUR SOME SUGAR ON MEEEEEE!!!

google it? Why? I can tell you about it: it was on the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekender in Glasgow and it was live from the Colin and Edith Show. It was an acoustic set taken from a private gig for 250 competetion winners at the Uni of Glasgow. Anything else? lol...

The Archies with Sugar Sugar... ok, so it was TV, but still... Also, not a real band in the sense of a REAL band, but they did get into the charts. Number one I think. In regards to films, I'm shocked and stunned that no one has mentioned Spinal Tap yet!? "But you see, they all. Go. To. 11...."

Modern Day stuff - YES. Old stuff - NO. As in the old stuff is better. How can you compete with Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks? "Cor Blimey, Mare-ree Polpins"

Do I have time to actually read that novel?

It is neither the greatest film that was ever made nor the worst. As a film itself, I don't like it. The subject matter doesn't interest, I'm not particularly a fan of either actress (Greene and Sarandon), plus I can't stand Brad Pitt. Although, he is good in this film. As a film for the time, i think it did well as all that feminism bull$h1t was all the rage then. Nowadays, it is wearing thin. So, for a modern audience it doesn't stand up. The issues that surround the film have been replaced by other issues our society are facing now and are more interested in now. Im not saying that the issues that T&L deal with arent around anymore, Im saying that that arent really "en vogue" at the mo. Did you know there is even a Thelma and Louise Holiday Buddy Club type thing now, for women that want to go on holiday together!?!? What's that all about? I'm having a mid-life crisis, I'm gonna go on holiday with someone I hardly know, shoot a man then and drive off a cliff?

Ben Stiller is probably the more tolerable. I prefer Will Farrell over either of them though.

Well, it depends on the mood I'm in. I like the whole Horror genre, but more into Thrillers: ones that make you think.

LOL... Hello JOKE! I know your feelings on Tennant. That is something we will have to agree to disagree on, my friend.

I really dont like the remake. I thought it was completely sacreligious!!! However, reading Ozzy's idea that if the film had stood independent from the original, then I can see it's appeal. So I dont really have any new comments to make.lol...

It is a worldwide fact that Preston talks out of his bottom. Seriously, he does. More sh!t come out of that boy than a hungover football hooligan after a dogey curry the night before.

Are negative thoughts still around though? What made you think to post this topic? Are you just talking about the UK? I think it's all relative. My mum grew up in "the War" (II). She was evacuated as she's from London etc etc, and she has no bad feelings towards the German's. No hate, no love, nothing. Just like if she saw you walking down the street. She'd feel nothing - just treat both of you the same. And that's how I've been bought up. I don't treat anyone different from the next. However, someone who's been brought up to dislike the Germans, might dislike the Germans when they get older. Not all the time, but it is likely. It has been proven that being subjected to a way of thinking from an early age, and it being continued throughtout life will determine, or at least have some effect, on your views and the way you behave in later life. I think the majority of the "bad feeling" about Germans is embedded in our culture now. The War is a MAJOR and very important part of our history. What caused it and the effects of it is going to be talked and remembered by us forever. And this comes from the people that lived it. However, as I said my mum lived it and has no animosity there, so it's personal really. Take John Cleese as Basil Fawlty, doing the March in Fawlty Towers. It was humourous. But was it a negative image? Can people take it as a joke? Then there's those young lads who were doing the same thing the other day at the football and they got arrested. It was seen to be in bad taste.

:o Because you're young you don't have to?! I'm shocked and appauled! :P On a more serious note (and at the risk of sounding like a moany old fart), not wanting to know about our heritige and politics now is one problem around the youth of today. It's such a take take take society! :blink:

tut tut.. not watching it lol..

Morrissey is my dad. Seriously. I love him. I'm in awe of how good looking he is at his age. Although, he's getting happier in hi old age. I liked it better when he was very cynical about the world. The only thing that I dont like about this song is the winey kids singing on it.

nah, just DLR it over to Canary Wharf, Jubilee line it to London Bridge then hop on northern line up...

Directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz... Anyone seen it yet? Basically it's set in a night where this couple called Carla and Martin get abducted by three men while they wait for Carla's dad to handover the ransom. See this rather than The Da Vinci Code or X-Men 3. take my word for it... lol....
