Cheers Bicks (and Damien). Will post the results once I get the new kit.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to predict the future. Sometimes, not so. :cry:

where does one order it from? Here

Anybody got the matchday programme yet? £7.50 is a bit steep so it'd better be good. I've just ordered mine as I'm not going to the match - wish I'd thought of it before now so I could have had it before Sunday.

Another request for advice, if I may. I've had a DMC-FZ10 for the last 6 or 7 years and have managed to take a couple of good shots (some Here) with it but am thinking about upgrading to something a bit more flexible. I was looking at some D90's the other day and was wondering if I was spending enough money to see significant difference. Looks like the body is about £800 and obviously I'd need to buy lenses too but I guess my question is, should I keep saving for a bit longer and get something over the grand mark or should £800 get me a decent enough shell to keep me going? (I know there's a million and one questions that would probably need answering to give a fully-informed opinion - just an indication would be good )

Adding another +1 for Slacker which I finally watched last night. Was kind of taken aback to see one of the shots go right past an ex-girlfriends house though! My current to-do list includes: Memories of Underdevelopment Under the Bombs The Man in the Glass Booth The Iceman Cometh The Believer Synecdoche, New York The Newton Boys Any suggestions on where to start?

It's down to personal taste - the two most popular seem to be the Times and Guardian ones. With the Times one you have to put up with the oft sneering Marcotti and with the Guardian you have to accept it's very populist and therefore focusses on either the big 4 in England or the top teams in Spain/Italy. Sure there are plenty others out there though. Generally not although iTunes does put some podcasts into the audiobook category at which point you're going to have to pay (See Gervais podcasts). If you're d/l'ing from iTunes, yes although there are myriad other ways to fill up your podcast catalogue (torrents/fileshares/go to source). Nope - you pay for what you d/l

A couple from the last few days - apologies if they're already in the thread. Very enjoyable Indie American films (particularly the second one with a very hot Christina Ricci):

Am loving the sound of The King from the synopsis. Have added it to my amazon wishlist (currently running at 140 dvd's) and will probably add it to my next order once I've got through the 12 films I already have piled up ready to watch.

^^Watched that a couple of weeks ago. Within 5 minutes I knew I was going to hate it. 20 Minutes later, I loved it. Exactly the same happened with In Search of a Midnight Kiss which I think I mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread.

Couldn't agree more, Briggaman - two very different films (pictured) but both excellent. Haven't seen Edge of Darkness though and I can't imagine doing so any time soon (not a Gibson fan).

Really enjoyed this for the first few weeks but as you say, the two co-presenters are cringe-worthy and the woman in the background (presumably the producer) who cackles with laughter every time Skinner says anything is supremely annoying. Used to love Frank in the good old days but he just doesn't seem on the money in this show. Seems to be mostly jokes that are trying to be clever (constant A.E. Housman references) or really poor "Dad-jokes". A lot of his guests seem somewhat bemused throughout too.

Haven't seen it mentioned before but I quite enjoyed:

If you can find it - had a quick look on Amazon and Play and they don't have it. Worth a search though.

I wouldn't say I'm enough of a Noir fan to have a top ten but I've seen most of the films in your list. DOA is a must and I did watch Double Indemnity for the first time a few weeks ago but I actually did mean Double Jeopardy. Not the easiest film to find (I was given a copy by a friend) but I love it. Classic tale of murder, blackmail and investigation.

Ultimate? Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic but better than Double Jeopardy, or DOA?

Really enjoyed this one tonight. It's a bit of a "nothing really happens" type of film but if that's your bag, I'd highly recommend it.

+1 for The Counterfeiters. And if you enjoyed (if that's the right word) that one - this one is equally gripping.

+1

Case in point:

Not my usual sort of film but I really enjoyed this tonight:

One of my favourite movies of last year. Incredibly emotional, well scripted and another great performance from Richard Jenkins. Seems we have mightily similar tastes. I've only suggested a handful of films in this thread and you've endorsed just about all of them! Anything else I should keep an eye out for?

Probably not for everyone but I really enjoyed this one recently (if enjoyed is the right word).

I know it's been mentioned a bunch of times already in this thread but I finally got round to watching Oldboy last night and I just had to register how great it was. My head is still buzzing from it all. Even though it's all pretty much explained by the end of it, my brain is still having a hard time computing everything I saw in the last 20 minutes. Highly recommended.
