That's the only picture he could find as well unfortunately.

What a condescending bellend.

Streaming and downloading is for mugs. Your investment is worthless the minute you get it.

Give me a physical CD/DVD any day of the week. I like to touch things.

I have absolutely loads of DVD's and I'm sad enough to even buy duplicates of the same film when a new version comes out.

but like I said I haven't bought a TV box set for many a year.

Impressive, non...?

Is that the pictures in walkden?

Yes.

Many times I sneaked in there in my youth, we'd go in as a gang of eight or nine, buy five tickets then charge on mass throw the tickets towards the usher a grab a seat.

Happy days.

Turns out to be the main Bafta winner, Fab.. Not that that necessarily means anything!
 I think somewhere later on you say the plot is ludicrous, unbelievable, but it seems that it is a true story.... probably exaggerated for effect!

Anyway that's the third Bafta for the director, Inarritu, and about the same number if not more for the cinematographer, Lubezki, so they must be doing something right.....

Yep that's what got me, I thought it was a true story suspect they started with a true story, then jazzed it up and went a bit over the top, the bit when he turns into Han Solo using his horse as a replacement tonton after plummeting over a cliff was just a step too far for me.

Dead and buried. I don't go any more because people simply don't know how to behave in public and have zero respect for others. I can't bear listening to disrespectful assholes who don't silence their phones, talk through the movie, eat like pigs, laugh uncontrollably at shit that isn't funny, put their feet on seats in front of them, keep changing seats like its musical fucking chairs etc. etc. Long gone are the days when the worst that could happen was the a 7ft. giant would sit down right in front of you just as the movie starts.

Never had you down as a thug Johnny.

Loved this from your post above, Fab (no.50):-

 "....... went a bit over the top, ....... after plummeting over a cliff ........."         Great stuff!

Ben Hur and the Ten Commandments are prime examples.

Not Johnny, willing to take a lie detector if necessary, although after time it should be apparent.
