I love the Futureheads.

Time has not been kind to Harrison Ford. He was a little bit to smooth and polished in Star Wars, but by the time Raiders came along he was perfect, rugged, gorgeous, twinkly, incredibly sexy - but now? I think wardrobe and make up are going to have their work cut out to make this film work.

Harrison Ford is gorgeous. Still.
I can't believe Console thinks the first two movies were awful. I'm not sure which is worse, that or the fact Toph hasn't seen them and also thinks Transformers was good. Gah. Did you also like Napoleon Dynamite?

Someone should get Topher an Indiana Jones box set for his birthday.

The first one was okay, until the end - which was ridiculous, and the second was just dire. Transformers was good, although nowhere near as good as it should have been, and Napoleon Dynamite was a boring piece of crap.

I'll probably try and watch them before this one comes out so I can see the latest one at the cinema. I'm getting my Cineworld pass next month.

Transformers appeared to be 1.5 hours too long. It almost induced the same physical response in me as Napoleon Dynamite, a blistering migraine. I physically was ill after watching that movie. I still can't see the allure.

Toph, you must watch them. It'd be like saying you've never seen the original Star Wars trilogy

Transformers was awful, the machines themselves were very well realised but that's about the only positive I can come up with. You're right about Napoleon Dynamite though.

Until quite recently I hadn't (well I had, but when I was very young and I barely remembered any of it... I'm not even sure whether I'd seen all three or not.)

Not quite like not being shot in the leg. As we are discussing films it would make sense that I'd mention another classic trilogy, no?

Or like saying you've never been shot in the leg.


You're losing your touch Console, that one lacks both quality and relevance. You can definitely do better.

Actually, I'm saying that they're all terrible things, and to not experience them should be a good thing.

The original Star Wars trilogy is brilliant! You must not be a fan of those old B movies. It's cheesy as is the Indiana Jones trilogy but that's what makes them so entertaining. Star Wars on the big screen is phenomenal. Transformers on the big screen however made me squirm and check my watch repeatedly.

I suppose that depends on how you define brilliant. It was good for it's time, but I didn't see it at it's time. Saying that, the new trilogy wasn't any good either.

I wouldn't have classed either Star Wars or Indiana Jones as B-movies, but I am certainly not a fan of them, or B-movies for that matter.

The new trilogy was lousy but at least I got my son interested in it. He will now watch the original trilogy and think I'm a dork for knowing the words. I guess because I saw the movies when they first came out they have emotional appeal for me and that would quantify the "brilliant" description. Indiana Jones is definitely an old B-movie and Star Wars is classified as a B-movie sci-fi western. It's what Lucas and Spielberg were going for at the time because they'd grown up on such movies (like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc)

I feel this is going to be another series that I end up buying rather than watching on telly.

I agree ashes to ashes was fantastic, and being of a certain age, the 80's references were much more attuned to me, than the previous 70's ones.

Brilliant show, and the new DI she is one very sexy lady.

I'm starting to like it now... it helped when philip Glenister said the other morning that people should give it until at least 2 episodes to like it, and to not expect it to be like "Life on Mars".. I enjoyed it thoroughly on Tuesday :-) Loved the 80's music, including Visages "Fade To Grey". :-)

Poor you, missing out!! One thing you didn't miss out on is the dodgy fashion... the 80's was the decade that style definitely forgot. O, and the make-up... let's not even go there!!

The 80's was when I grew up. I left school, started work in 1980. Fashions and music of that period are immensely nostalgic and evocative for me, I loved every minute of it, from Post-Punk through New Age, to New Romantic and beyond - and hair in the 80's was brilliant too, I had everything from a mohican to a long curly perm (dyed dark purple) in that decade. Well, when I say brilliant.........

Lots of things have made me happy this week: Being away from home, alcohol, the beach, the sun, meeting new people, being told I look older than I am, having a valentine for the first time, attracting older men, and coming home has also made me happy :)

You'd look great in a bubble perm and a fur coat and some massive shoulder pads!

I loved the 80's. I still wear blue eyeliner and mascara in memory of that time. That said I also quite enjoyed the 90's and am REALLY enjoying the noughties!

I wish I was brave enough to get one of them now.
