I'm just about to settle down and watch the first disc of my newly delivered Planet Earth series. I wonder how Momfish got all the way through to the end of that... Maybe her new environmentalism is based on not having bothered with the extra material?

Sure, flaunt your purchases on the forum. Not everyone can afford that series you know. You'd better have rented it dude.

Yeah - my abundant wealth overfloweth... I made $34.00 today at work, before taxes. But I've got my Radiohead and my Attenbugger, so I'm set for a bit. I suspect my credit card will eventually eat itself to death.

I finally saw 28 Weeks Later... Meh... It has nothing on the first one, so goes the first law of horror film sequels. Some serious writing flaws, but reasonably tense. I presume they're working on the next one...

That's too bad. I really enjoyed 28 Days and was hoping 28 Weeks would also be good.

btw Mark, I watched Cube 2 & Cube Zero. Both good IMO though not as good as the original.

Yes, Cube 2 was bearable - I didn't bother with the third one.

And Ken, 28 Weeks is worth a viewing - the special effects have some merits. There were just two or three weak points in the overall story. I didn't mean to say that I didn't enjoy it - just not as good as the first one. Of course. There is some minor (subtle and lowbrow) commentary on US imperialism and Iraq, but that's like shooting fish in a barrel.

I dunno how, but i've just received a copy of Stardust.

Cool film! Now i'm off to Rule the world....

Watched it last night and yes, there were some weak points and an unnecessary over-the-top scene or 2, but overall it was better than I expected it to be.

All that security - about fifty secure doors - but no one watching, and no cameras trained on the quarantine patient... Pffft.

And the helicoptor blender scene really wasn't necessary.

Tonight is video night - a friend's coming over to enjoy the highly perverse double bill of The Devils and El Topo.

Much carnage and sacrilege! I'm looking forward to this. I haven't seen either film in years.

I watched the movie Immortal last night.

Weird and very confusing at parts. Interesting special effects but...weird.

I watched Godzilla 2000. Great film!

The last 2 lines in the movie were outstanding.

Scientist #1: We try to kill Godzilla, and he keeps defending us. Why is that?
Scientist #2: I think it's because there's a little Godzilla in all of us.

There are some people who really appreciate John Waters. I am one. This Filthy World was released in October, and it's basically 90 minutes of him talking - and it's very funny. What you'd expect though: nasty, dark, filthy... things you probably don't want to know.

If you're feeling filthy, this is an extremely funny movie to watch.
