# I've had ITV on for all of 30 minutes
and may now shoot myself.
So far:
Electra-Glide in Blue - hero got shot dead at the end
News - Missing girls/Blair miscarridge
Dare to Love - Girls brother dies in car crash while she develops schizophrenia.
All in 30 minutes!

# Great film
Was all geared up to watch it and what have we got in Scotland? A whole fucking night of gaelic shite. Gutted.

# If you have Sky Digital.....
you see watch any ITV region you want by tuning them in the ADD CHANNELS menu. Do a google search to find out how....

# I think
I'm one of the last people to still have analogue cable, I really need to get round to getting digital. That's great info that though, I'll remember it because this situation crops up a lot.

# i have analogue cable
the local company was bought by telewest three years ago, but they still haven't given us a date for digital upgrading. bastards.

# I can get transfered
but I think it'll cost me. They're slowly cancelling channels one at a time, the scifi channel being a particular loss, me being a geeky twat(thanks Jeff) an'all.
Great forum link hyperdog, going to have a look at that.

# my dad refuses to go with sky cos he doesn't want our house to look like a bunch of pikies live here
and he dislikes sky and murdoch.

he's just resorting to sending shouty emails to telewest. it's especially annoying cos most of my mates live a couple of miles north and have had digitial since 2000.

# you dont have to put the dish on the roof,
a couple of mates live in the peaks, its a national park so they cant have visible dishes etc. they've stuck their dishes in the garden. as long as its got line of sight it works.

# Alas
I missed nearly the whole thing. I wanted see.
What was the thing with 70's films having depressing endings?

# True
Easy Rider(sixties, I know)and Vanishing Point both end in a rather downbeat way. Disallusionment with the American dream? Vietnam? I don't know enough about film theory but there's certainly a feel to early seventies movies. Save the Tiger with Jack Lemmon for example great film but...

# easy rider has to be the most pointless film of all time
it's great, yes. and once it was making a statement about youth culture. but now it is a story about two guys who ride about for a bit, take drugs and get shot for no reason. it's not shakespeare, is it?

# I once suffered
a long and winding explanation of why they all had to die at the end.
Needless to say, it was a media studies student who delivered it.

# I know the feeling
I studied film and you were hard pressed to find anyone with any actual love of movies. Ask them to give you a freudian analysis of Cassavettes or somebody and they'd chew your ear off though. Very boring.

# I was never a big fan
really and it has dated badly, hippy shit and all that. It actually irritates me now, the pair of them do my head in with their nonsence. I really love Two-lane Blacktop and Vanishing point though, similiarly themed but more up my street.

# I only have a choice

# CNN?
Where did that come from, maybe you should tell them because your not paying for it 'tut tut' people like you make me sick, how dare you get quality channels such as CNN for free, thats just not on. Im gonna wake my mammy up and tell her

# pah!
cnn pales in comparison with bbc news 24, the mightiest of all 24hr news channels. cos sky news is just a bit shit, really.
