We went to see it last night and I enjoyed it. I did not read the book but realized that his memories were slowly coming back and suspected halfway through that he might have been forced in the trip when it was clear he was not originally meant to be on the crew..

Started watching This Life as it is being reshown on iPlayer. Loved this when it came out. A show about a bunch of young lawyers who all live together. More fun than it sounds…

That was so groundbreaking when it first showed! Really enjoyed that, and reading some of the 30 year retrospectives (sob) that have been published recently.
Being of a very similar age to the characters at the time, but having nowhere as much fun as them was funny and semi-frustrating

Oh, nice. I never did see part 2, so that’s probably something to go to if it shows up here :).
The last film I saw was The Cranes are Flying (1957), which was excellent.

I think the first half is better. far more iconic scenes (I really like O-ren most of all – we did get Lady Snowblood on DvD as it apparently inspired this part), but I feel it really needs the closure from the 2nd half.

I’m pretty sure we have Lady Snowblood on DVD somewhere around here. Don’t think we got around to watching it though.
