She is not a (psycho) biddy anywhere near the extent in the sense of the lead in this film. :p:

Inspirational, you say? How about Up In The Air or Please Give, if you haven't seen those? Invictus is also a good shout.

your sig made me :rofl:

Seen both. Enjoyed Up In the Air but, not being especially driven by money in the first place, I didn't find it particularly inspiring. May go with Invictus then.

You've seen Please Give? I'm impressed, the only people I know that have watched it are people that watched it with me. :p:

What did you think of it?

It's not Star Wars, is it?

I can tell this is going to nag me for ages. :colonhash:

Bingo. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones - the greatest film about gladiators ever made.

Pretentious and condescending. :colonhash:

Holofcener scripts are always well written, and the subtle observations made the film; the realism was excellent for a tale of families.

Spoiler

Reminds me of (and could be seen as a forerunner to) Archipelago, with its focus on upper-middle class families and their problems.

I would have guessed The Return of the Jedi, but I suppose that makes sense as well.

Is Psycho Biddy Misery?

I have a newfound fascination for the german language :biggrin:

I'd be happy if you could recommend me some german and/or polish films.

I didn't mean that to sound anywhere near as awful as it did. :o:

Merely that it was a film which seems to have a remarkably small audience which is disappointing. I would agree with much of what you said, I think it was startlingly realistic and also really dark in places.

How did you like Invictus?

American Psycho?
Bronson?

The biddy is the psycho, not just a random character. :p:

Nope. It's not really a horror film, more of a thriller. The last time I think it came up in this thread I think was when I posted a screenshot of it (back when we were playing that game) and nobody knew what it was then either. :sad:

Aguirre?

Speaking of Werner Herzog, he's been confirmed as the narrator for the audiobook of Go The **** To Sleep. Words cannot express how much I want to hear this.

I knew what you meant. It just came out more as "me and my chums were watching films and we're very knowledgeable, don't-cha-know", rather than the undeservedly low audience you mention. :yes:

I watched Slumdog Millionaire instead. Reminded me what an excellent film it is. :daydreaming:

I may watch Invictus now though :proud:

(the joys of recovering from surgery).

Yeah, I read it back and cringed a little.

Slumdog is amazing. I hated the backlash that film got, it didn't deserve it in the slightest.

How did the nose job go?

Something to do with "using child actors from the slums" and then "returning" them, as I remember? Seemed very unlikely, either way.

It was a rather more necessary procedure on a far more "intimate" area. :pierre:
