This film looks incredible to me, can't wait for it to be released on blu-ray next year

Saw The Time Travelers Wife this morning - not outstanding but OK. Made me want to read the book.
Dorien Grey looks good

The film's are rarely as good as the books - so I'll see the film first and if I like it I'll probably enjoy the book even more. If I read the book first and love it then I'll probably be disappointed with the film!

I thought everyone had read the book, isn't it one of the books school children have to read. |

Do they let school kids read Oscar Wilde?

We certainly did, I've got a feeling we also watched a few 18 rated films at school in our English lessons so maybe we were taught by Mr Liberal |

| Oscar Wilde actually wrote a series of short stories "for" children - "The Happy Prince and other Stories"; so I guess at some schools that at least might have been in the curriculum. I only got round to his other stuff (Dorian Grey, De Profundis, The Ballad of Reading Gaol") when doing Eng Lit at University. |

| Just re-watched The Big Lebowski on Sky last night again. What a great movie, there was still a few bits I didn't get on 1st and 2nd viewing, think I was under the influence at the time, brilliant movie. |

Watched a lot of films recently (I have nothing to do at all!) and some ones worth mentioning - Milk (really good 9/10), Last Chance Harvey was quite sweet as well. The Notebook is garbage, I'm usually a cryer and it just didn't get me at all, really really disappointed.
Also watched the Twin Peaks movie "Fire Walk With Me" and was pretty disappointed with that, completely unnecessary. |

Finally got round to watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tonight (V+ box tells me I recorded it back in February!) - thoroughly enjoyed it, what a brilliant story.
One of the best films I've seen in some time, definitely be watching it again - as soon as I've got through about 30 others also waiting for a watch...
