    Hey you guys.. just finished the basics of the Society's blog. My neighbour having given me moral support throughout this (while drinking all my coffee!), her choice of names prevailed. It is also pink because VV likes pink and her world is pink.

    Looks like I need to send e-mails to people to 'invite' them. If you want it, please pm me your details.

    Still need to figure out how to make a list type of thing to keep all the pieces of the puzzle together (who and what) and to publish that (gonna check the bugs one to see how they did it!).

    Still working on it.....

    i went out and got Sideways to watch a while back based on peoples recommendations and thought it was utter shit... and i've seen Andy Warhol's SLeep movie... and it was probably better than Sleep but only just ;):)

    I can't believe you didn't like Sideways. I thought it was hilarious. I think it's a film you need to see twice, as when you first see it the two characters tend to come across as a couple of twats, and it's only nearer the end of the film that you realise how funny they actually are. Still, I could be wrong...everyone to their own.

    By the way, have you seen 'Made' - John Favreau and Vince Vaughan - Dunkman?

    Edit: Whilst were on the subject - has anyone seen the new Warner Herzog film/documentary called 'Grizzly man'? based on real footage taken by a fella who spent years living with grizzly's in the wilderness. he eventually got eaten by one, along with his girlfriend. It's an amazing film.
    And anyone see 'The Proposition'?

    Sideways was horribly over-rated. It's good but it's not as good as everyone said it is. It does make you want to drink wine the whole way through though.

    I haven't actually seen DaVinci Code yet so yeah, maybe its not as bad as folk are saying it is. I think Demons and Angels is a much better novel than DaVinci.

    Helen...Brick is pretty cool. It's a little bit disjointed in parts but it's really clever what they're trying to do. It's like an old style black and white detective movie set in a modern day high school. Some of the characters could have done with a little more development I felt but it's one of the few good films I've seen so far this year
    I don't know what I felt about sideways - still don't after seeing it a couple of times! I think I kinda enjoyed it. The last half hour or so was brilliant and I think it's worth sticking through the rest of it to get to that... I don't know if I'd recommend it to anyone though.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    I'm actually not a fan of Brad at all :o for some reason. Lol, I don't mind subtitles actually but I dunno why I've never seen any of his. Motorcycle diaries looks great. Have you seen Maria full of grace??? That's another brilliant film


    I'm not a huge Brad fan. Apparently the film is called 'Babel' (for redrock) :)

    Yeah I've seen it. Really good film. Took months for me to receive through my DVD rental scheme. Also seen The Beat that My Heart Skipped (French film) recently and that was good.

    Motorcycle Diaries has amazing scenery (and no I'm not talking about the men :rolleyes: ) how they managed to get permission to film Macchu Picchu with no one there ...
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Which one was Sideways... the two guys on the wine tasting stag trip..?

    Thought that was pretty lame myself.... :rolleyes:

    ah another non-Brad fan :) there aren't many of us out there. I dunno, just think he has a bit of a monkey jaw or something :o . Not a popular opinion though - as an actor he's alright though. Never heard of that french one - have city of God at home which I haven't got around to watching yet :o

    It definately picked up at the end and I was holding out but my lady friend had lost interest (in the film, I hasten to add) by that point...

    There were a couple of really funny bits but it was sooooo slow early on... :o

    I dunno if I've ever been to the theatre :o

    Been to a ballet (well it was on ice, does that count?) And went to the opera - cos I felt like I had to when I was in Italy - but that was absolutely fucking amazing. I was almost crying when yer man sang nessun dorma :o It was lovely - open air on a lake in the place where Puccini was born :o but I don't think I've ever been to the theatre :confused:

    Seen as I had to go on Amazon to bump Breakfast on Pluto up my list here is a link to The Beat ... so you can see what it's about :)

    Re theatre I only started going semi regularaly in the last couple of years. Figure while in London I should take advantage (plus I walk past the National Theatre on the way to / from work) have seen about three operas (one at Glyndebourne... amazing place) and only one ballet (an adaptation of Edward Scissorhands :D )

    I have that on my list aswell so if anyone has seen it would also be interested.

    Know you didn't say you were on opera fan :o (neither am I) but there is something amazing about hearing opera up close ... anyway ... point was I know it's a little way from Dublin but Wexford has on opera festival every year. Think in Oct or Nov ...
