    It's not bad at all - doesn't take itself too seriously. Love that scene where he's trying to pretend he wasn't crying his heart out in his room.[/quote]<br />

    If you haven't already done so, check out "Get Him to the Greek." It's kinda-like a sequel to "Sarah Marshall" (in a similar way that The Freshman is a "sequel" to The Godfather, and Enemy of the State is a "sequel" to The Conversation).

    "i 'aven't told you I have herpes 'cos it's not infectious at the moment" , Kirsten Bell's facial expression is priceless after that.

    So Forgetting Sarah Marshall is being discussed for a number of posts and you're all talking about Russell Brand. How the hell is the hottness of Mila Kunis in that movie not been brought up. Seriously guys! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ireful.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ireful:' />

    Just got back from watching Shadow Dancer - thriller set in 90s era Belfast with a female IRA operative turned by Mi5 and forced to spy on her terrorist family and 'friends'.<br />
    <br />
    Set against the backdrop of John Major's peace plans the plot twists slowly until everyone gets what they deserve. Andrea Riseborough is terrific in the female lead and Clive Owen is pretty good as her Mi5 handler. Pretty bleak but engrossing all the same.

    Have seen "Get Him To The Greek" and love it. Think I have a copy at home somewhere so might dig it out again.<br />

    Get him to the greek is pretty funny in places. The Geoffrey scene is epic comedy!<br />
    <br />
    Forgetting Sarah Marshall is well worth a look - the best character int hat though is surely Paul Rudd. As he seems to be in almost every movie he's in.

    The newly wed guy cracked me up amongst quite a few gold moments in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But Get him to the Greek was pretty good too.

    Working in Radio again sure has its perks.....got to catch "Skyfall" last night and fuck it was supurb. Won't give away too much but Bond develops a few personal issues, doesn't nail too many women, gets up to some RIDICULOUS action ( how the fuck does he do the shit he does in a suit ? I can barely raise my arms with my jacket on ) and Javier Bardem as the bad guy ? Brilliantly over the top. For serious Bond fans there are a few decent in jokes and explanations on the origin of the character.<br />
    <br />
    Currently sitting at number 7 on my personal all time list which is saying something cos Bond is like Pizza and sex to me. Even when it's not as good it's still good.

    his suit is probably tailor made and about £4,000, whereas yours was probably one of those $100 jobs from Hallensteins <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

    Raz can you get back on topic, topic being BOND as opposed to flicks starring Gary Busey before he became fat and drug addicted ?<br />
    <br />
    Thanks mate. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':yes:' /> <br />
    <br />
    To be fair though one of my suits is indeed from Hallansteins and fits like a glove off the shelf which I have found tough in the past.

    I hate those Tom Ford suits on Bond. They're cut too tight and make him look like a bouncer. Oh and that trademark floating coat collar thing that Ford does really sucks, hardly surprising since they ditched proper London tailoring for a mere [i]brand[/i]. Much better is Fiennes' Savile Row job from Anderson & Sheppard. Now that's how a trouser is supposed to fit.

    Lawless; Shia Le Boof, Guy Pearce, Tom Hardy and small role for Gary Oldman.<br />
    <br />
    Based on a book written by a family member of the 3 brothers central to the story, so there may be some elements of truth in it along with painting characters better/worse....<br />
    <br />
    Set in the early years in Franklin County Virginia during prohibition; bootlegging is rife and a new Deputy comes to town (Pearce) and turns everything upside down. Pearce is a nasty peice of work, Tom Hardy is pretty good (not quite as imposing or intimidating as he is in Dark Knight Rises) La Beouf, decent enough, but take him or leave him....I liked it, pushing close to a 7/10......

    Anyone else super pumped to see The Hobbit? I just watched a trailer, and now i can't wait. Unfortunately, because i live in a backward country, i have to wait until Boxing Day.<br />
    <br />
    Also, i am considering shelling out money to see Skyfall, worth it?

    The people who have seen it said Skyfall was grouse.<br />
    <br />
    Hobbit I am super pumped for. Read the book to my boy earlier in the year (did the voices and everything) and it is completely fucked that we wait until Boxing Day, just so cinema owners/distributors can be fluffybunnys.
