The oscars
- 24 February 2009 23:0016045Howard - no it does not glamourise poverty. It is a feel good film but with a hard edge of reality that makes it much more.
- 24 February 2009 23:0516048it looks like the film must be fairly good if different views on it are aired.
a good film or book must make us all think.
sounds like boyle has waved his magic wand again. - 24 February 2009 23:0616049Do see it howard, it is worth seeing, definately.
- 24 February 2009 23:2516056What annoys me is that a perfectly innocent posting that tried to highlight that perhaps everything is not doom and gloom is dissected by the pc brigade.
- 24 February 2009 23:4216059wait until you see the replies to roger's joke.
i can visualise a 250 post thread. - 25 February 2009 07:5216060What pc brigade? I must have blnked and missed the opportunity to be pc all over this thread.
- 25 February 2009 11:5016093I am organising a charabanc trip to Beachy Head for all those that want to ban laughter in the world cos really the world is a miserable place to live and for those that hate to witness a British film do well at the Oscars cos it used real children in childrens roles and gave them maybe a once in a life time opportunity to be happy and even if only for a brief period allowed them to feel needed loved and respected.I have stopped eating cos of world famine and have given all my money to charity to alleviate world poverty.I am therefore totally broke starving and devoid of any humour or self worth.I will be driving and all tickets are strictly one - way and non refundable.All proceeds are going towards the demolish Bernard Mannings memorial stone fund.Marek
I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter) - 25 February 2009 11:5216095Well said Marek.
I have to say that I did not personally see the pernicious hand of pc in this thread! - 25 February 2009 13:3616110lol! Marek, I think you would need to hire a fleet of charabancs. In the distant past I used to be a member of the 88th Boys Brigade, does that give me free membership to the local pc brigade?
It's great to see a British film scoop 8 Oscars, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.
