Kylie Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Aw, that sounds lovely. Sounds like my type of romantic movie.
Nollaig Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Shop Around The Corner is a brilliant movie! James Stewart was so dishy! It's a really lovely movie, funny and sweet in turns. I only watched it for the first time myself recently, and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are some scenes, and even some bits right down to the script that were borrowed and used in You've Got Mail which, once you've seen both makes You've Got Mail not only an excellent stand-alone film, but a wonderful, respectful tribute to a classic too.
Kylie Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 James Stewart is in it? No way! I can't believe I didn't know that! He's one of my favourite actors anyway, so I am now desperate to see this.
Nollaig Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Yeahhh I love him too I'd love to buy a collection of his movies - as many in colour as possible! I have It's A Wonderful Life in colour and I love it.
Kylie Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Ooh, I couldn't imagine watching it in colour. That'd be so weird.
Stephanie2008 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Extras - I love this programme, it's so funny but really cringeworthy at times too
ned Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 The one with Bowie is excellent, the song 'chubby little loser'
Stephanie2008 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Yeah it is - "his pug nose face" when the rest of the club joins in. I have just watched the Kate Winslet one.
ned Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Isn't that the one where he kisses the priests ring and then starts to talk about perverts and kiddy fiddlers?
Stephanie2008 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Yeah. I was cringing so much, it gets so embarrassing for him.
ned Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 If you like that sort of comedy then you would love Curb Your Enthusiasm, it is ten times more cringe worthy
Kylie Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 The Kate Winslet episode of Extras is my favourite of them all. I go into hysterics laughing every time Maggie's boyfriend catches Kate out.
Stephanie2008 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Yeah. And she says things that Kate Winslet just shouldn't say I watched Extras again last night: the Les Dennis/Samuel L Jackson/Patrick Stewart episodes
ned Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Les Dennis naked, that will be in my nightmares until the day i die:irked: The Samuel L Jackson one is brilliant, Maggie is brilliant in that. "I loved you in the Matrix":lol:
Stephanie2008 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 That episode is funny because Maggie tries to convince herself she's not racist and just digs further and further The Les Dennis one is nearly as bad as Keith Chegwin's (that must be one of the next ones I'm watching )
Nollaig Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 The Patrick Stewart episode is brilliant. The man is a legend.
Mexicola Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 The Patrick Stewart episode is brilliant. The man is a legend. "I've seen everything" Great episode.
Ausonius Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 There was a great TV show on in America called My Name Is Earl which dealt with incompetent denizens at the bottom of society. "Earl" is played by Jason Lee whose character, a petty thief and all-around screw-up, has had a revelation after winning a lottery, and then immediately getting hit by a car and ending up in the hospital! On a TV show he sees while recuperating he learns about Karma. Earl makes a list of all the bad things he has ever done, and decides to undo everything, so that Karma will not pay him back with a ruined life. The characters around Earl and the naive, incongruous commentary on Life are very funny. We have been watching DVD's of the first season: highly recommended.
Talisman Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I love that programme - not only it is extremely funny, it is also the only American TV show I know where the characters are not all stinking rich and living in great big houses. As for Patrick Stewart - that voice makes me go weak at the knees !
Ausonius Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I love that programme - not only it is extremely funny, it is also the only American TV show I know where the characters are not all stinking rich and living in great big houses. As for Patrick Stewart - that voice makes me go weak at the knees ! My emphasis above: Right! Another fine TV show on that basis is The Big Bang Theory about Physics graduate students and their frugal apartment-pizza life-styles. The main character on that show, Sheldon, idolizes Patrick Stewart!
BookJumper Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Flash Gordon last night and Con Air the night before that; both gave me nightmares .
ned Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Con Air is my second favourite Nic Cage film. The First? Face/Off of course
Stephanie2008 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I love Face/Off (I fell in love with John Travolta during that movie - which is odd considering he is evil ) Have only seen bits of Con Air though. Off to bed soon to keep going with the second series of Extras. Usually get 3-4 episodes watched but can't remember the order to this series.
