Thanks for saying hello. I'll be sure to ask you questions if I get really stuck At the moment, I'm just trying to make friends by getting myself seen and replying to as many things as I can.

How are you?
Been upto much this weekend?
I saw T3 and Pirates of Carribean yesterday... both good pieces of on-sense escapism...

I'm doing good thanks. I've not done very much this weekend, cos the weather here has been so mad hot that I've not felt like doing very much at all. I've been wanting to go see T3, but I'm very lazy when it comes to going to the cinema. I'll probably wait until it gets released on DVD.

Ideed has been damnably hot recently... I love the whole cinematic eperiance so I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD, not that I have a DVD player...

I do like going to the cinema. There's nothing quite like watching a good movie with your friends and eating popcorn and hotdogs. Then going out to a pub and having a few laughs. But my nearest decent cinema is about 8 miles from here, and my local video shop is across the road.. I'm just lazy

Ah, that lucky...
Which directors do like?

I've always likes Stephen Spielberg(sp?) and James Cameron. Tarantino is a good director too. There are also some old directors who's movies I've really enjoyed, but for some reaon I cannot recall them to memory

what kind of movies do you like?

I like comedy for which I look to directors such as the Coen bros... I like Spagetti western [Segio Leoni], I like Thrillers... I like Sci-fi... I like Horror and anything by David Cronenburg... ALso Asian cinema Korean crime film and Japanese new wave horror...

Yourself?

I have quite wide and varied tastes when it comes to movies. I will watch almost anything from musicals to horror and pretty much everything else in between.

Indeed anything of quality can be watched and enjoyed...

thats very true.. and even some stuff that isn't quality can be entertaining for the giggle factor

Indeed I watch a film no so long ago called [I think] "Runaway Car" we had a great time predicting cliche and dire plot device would be used next and debating just how such a piece of crap could be made...etc, great fun

hehe, sounds like the sort of thing they'd show at 9pm on Channel 5

It was around midnight on the beeb, but your point is well taken

well, I've got the suspicious feeling that it will be repeated sometime in the coming months. We all know what the Beeb are like for repeating stuff

Indeed...

How are you settling in to hootoo?

I'm getting to know my way around. I havn't soent much time on here over the weekend, been a bit busy.

How are you today?

I pretty calm today... I was hoping to do a spot of pottery today but the OT is off sick or somesuch... I went to a Robert Rankin book signing yesterday... got to go to the pub with the man afterwards so I'm pretty happy about that...
