"Downfall" is excellent
The actor who plays Hitler is brilliant. It would have been all too easy to slip into a silly caricature.

It was a real 'box of tissues' film, I agree.
Poor old Uncle Adi.

You jest
but I did feel empathy for the man...until I remembered the whole holocaust/war thing.

"the boy in the striped pyjamas"
made me go cold all over. the book had the same effect. like you've swallowed an entire tub of b&j in one mouthful.

I read "The Pianist" and almost blubbed
because I had read the book, I was prepared for the film and I was a brave boy...

but the book is ALWAYS better than the film!

Sometimes they are just as shit as each other.
I give you Fight Club, a crap read and a bollocks movie.

I liked both the book and the film
and as far as commercially successful directors go, I reckon David Fincher is A1 at what he does

He is pretty good usually but that movie was crap from start to finish.
I read the book before after seeing the film and found it excruciatingly dull.

nah they're both good
a little bit of hokum never did anyone any harm. I prefer the book ending, but found both of them rather interesting

It is.
I mean, it's no 'November Rain' but they're trying their best, eh?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 17:47, Reply)

November Rain was shit.
Now it's no Back Off Bitch but they had a good go.

Live and Let Die was shit.
Sweet Child O'Mine was shit.

Hmmmmmm.....

Rose: cock
Slash: overrated
The rest of them: Ringo

FRONTMAN IN BELLEND SHOCKER.
So what the bloke was a cunt he had a great voice. Slash isn't overrated, he is bloody good. The never ending conveyor belt of others had some talent but G N R were more than the sum of their parts.

Unless it's Jaws.
The film is infinitely better than the book and benefits from having the Hooper/Mrs Brody affair and all the mafia bollocks stripped out of it. Which, frankly, just got in the way of all the shark chomping action.

I agree DG. I nearly wrote the same but got all sidetracked by my hate for Fight Club.

turned that character into a silly caricature, so no harm done.

Did you see the You Tube clips
where people re-subtitled the sequence towards the end when his advisors break the bad news to Hitler that the Russians have broken through?

Some of them are very funny.
( Kroney, Wed 10 Nov 2010, 17:29, Reply)

I'm pretty sure that only two, maybe three people ever watched those.
They weren't very popular at all.
