You lot are just fantastic x

Rubbish. There's that one of you looking like Roberto Benigni.

Yep. It's awesome.

This new place is on my way home. I might have to start going to Wests again.

Yay!

One of my favourite films, watch a snapshot here, freaking amazing:

http://mubi.com/films/funeral-parade-of-roses (read the blurb first)

I had the misfortune of watching Prometheus last week (finally). Totally worse than I was expecting. Not even any good one-liners. The worst thing is imagining how many undergrad gender studies students will now write about that Caesarean.

Dudes! http://www.koreanfilm.co.uk/

I'll be going to some stuff at the ICA.

Holy Motors is totally the best thing I've seen at the cinema this year, well, best new release anyway. Guy Maddin's Keyhole was also aceness.

If you like understated East German 1980s surveillance tension, then Barbara is for you. Nina Hoss was bloody excellent.

I saw Mashton the other day in Shepherd's Bush, trackstanding at the lights. Cute.

Dancing James on Kew Bridge. His dulcet tones cut through the noisy indie pop on my morning run. Get to work earlier you lazy bastard ;)

Woooot!

Are we bringing an in-pelaton beautician to ensure smooth legs?

Congratulations! So exciting. I love the Nick Cave, it's perfect.

We'll be at the C&H. Can't wait to catch up xxx

Such sad news, but so wonderful that Paul was surrounded by love and a lot of respect during the recent weeks; and that he passed peacefully, no doubt dreaming of glossy bikes and girls. Much love to Paul, and to you all xxx

ha, this i'll be like my 5th or 6th bridges.
beers and bikes whats not to like.
This time with the pootle home.

Aww, I remember you being on my first bridges ride. It's defo better finishing your side of town, though, yes.

I had an argument in the pub about Harry Potter the other day that reminded me of this thread. If you can get a kid, or an adult for that matter, reading for pleasure, then they are further ahead than the posers who, when asked which books they like, list off the same fashionable, 'literary', sub-undergraduate authors with cool covers as all their mates that they never actually read but which they think that having on their shelves will make art-school girls want to do them.

At least the people reading harry potter books are enjoying them.

What are sub-undergraduate authors? Or 'literary' novels? And the high or lowbrow content of a book (if we are attaching value judgements) has little to do with its cover.

I think everyone should be reading more, I can't disagree there. And if you want something amazing and bizarre to read, try some Kobo Abe - The Box Man is particularly ace.

I saw "500 days of summer" and I think is really good... a very enjoyable bitter romance, and she is so hot....

This is my worst film of 2009. Unbelievably dire. She may be hot, but the film said nothing meaningful about relationships, and was 'indie' by (hopefully tongue-in-cheek) numbers. That said, the film the characters go to see is called Vagiant - the cross between vampire and giant. That's pretty cool.

Kuro Neko (Black Cat) might do it for cheaper. It's a Japanese company: courier service, packages, and I know people who have used it here. It might be worth googling for information.

There are some great gym scenes in American Psycho, and Carrie. Not sure if either will be appropriate though. Also Kes? x

Probably just stalking:-)

Awesome film still quote.

Happy Birthday, I hope you're having a lovely day xxx

Baudrillard and Bloomsbury? The snow felt quite real in Russell Square, and I'd always thought that area more modernist than postmodern. But, as you were.

VB and I will be cycling to Brockley on Christmas Day, but will you guys be doing anything on Boxing Day? We might come over anyway xxx

Riding through the Nesque gorges in Provence with VB was the best riding of the year. Spectacular and so much fun. Rain at the end never felt so good. Riding on the Moultons was fun, although I really missed my bike. Maybe I'll have to gear up my Thorn next year for an epic ride alongside the new Mather.

The Tweed ride at the beginning of the year was brilliant. I say take it on tour! Copenhagen?

Wooooooo!

Is anyone else super excited about Where The Wild Things Are?

We need a best films of the year thread.
