Thanks, Charm and Frankie I wasn't expecting to find such a bargain! I'm 70 pages into City of Theives and looking forward to reading more in bed tonight. Need to finish it so I can make a start on all those Dickens!

My mum won a copy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. She doesn't want it so naturally handed it to me This is a book I've been interesting in reading (what with it's popularity on here!), but not enough to buy as it's not typically my kind of thing. So I'm quite pleased. There was also a t-shirt which I'm not so sure about will have to try it on later!

Roast beef and stuff

I saw it in 3D at the cinema and enjoyed it. I thought it was a pretty good cinematic experience with very impressive visuals. However, it definitely wasn't my film of the year and I know that some people were utterly unimpressed by it. So I guess you need to see it to make up your own mind. I don't think I'd be overly interested in watching it when it's released on DVD as I can't see it being as effective on the small screen.

Nice review I loved the Evil Dead films, mainly for Bruce Campbell's face alone I'd be interesting in reading it one day, it would be good to know more about the man behind the chin!

Or when it's completely discontinued! That always seems to happen with my favourite/can't-do-without products

Me too! I picked up the special edition DVD the other day

Dog Day Afternoon

Eagle vs Shark

I went to a bootfair this morning and came away with twelve Dickens books (all in great condition) for the total sum of

Crunchy (especially if it's on toast!) Skirts or dresses?

Ooh good I'm only a few pages in, hope to get stuck into it this weekend

Yesterday I started City of Thieves by David Benioff.

Cheesecake *smug*

Isn't that a bit like the support acts though? you do see some trailers for some awful looking films! I saw one for a new Jennifer Lopez film the other night and me and OH were constantly pulling these faces at one another throughout it But similarly, you may discover a film you fancy seeing but wouldn't have otherwise known about.. More annoying cinema behaviour - texting. The girl in front of me was constantly texting and the light from her phone was glaring and very distracting

Finished Jamaica Inn today but now I'm really struggling to decide what to read next

Yeah I love Seven and Fight Club and if I recall correctly, I was enjoying Zodiac before that scene. Ah I can handle death by bullet, I might just be ok then! Cheers, peace. I'll let you know my thoughts if/when I see it again. Sorry, I wish I hadn't remembered it. It puts my teeth all on edge!

The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work. -Malcolm Fleschner, Arlington Love 'em!

Nothing at the moment but at lunchtime I am definitely hunting down a jam doughnut. And then eating it.

Yeah, I really think there should be a rule about it so that latecomers are denied entrance! You wouldn't get away with it in a theatre so a cinema should be no different. I missed several moments of the film last night as people were still arriving about twenty minutes in! Coupled with the fact that I don't know how people can be content to watch a film that they've missed the beginning of.

People arriving late to the cinema and coming in disrupting everyone else after the film has started. If you can't turn up on time, don't bother coming!

I really liked it, poppyshake No disappointment here, it's a thoroughly enjoyable drama with a good dose of humour as well. The boys done good Peacefield, do try and catch it when/if you can! I think you might just like it .

Small Island is being shown on BBC4 tonight at nine. Hopefully I'll be watching this if I can stay awake for the duration, I'm sleeeepy this evening

I signed up to Goodreads this afternoon My username is Mexicola. I've joined the BCF group and will send out some friend requests. Still have lots of work to do on there, including deciding on the best way of organising my shelves...
