    When we were staying with relations in the U.S. at the beginning of 2011 they had bought the film. We started watching it but after 15 minutes we all came to the conclusion that we didn't like it. So we went out and some of this:-

    A much better result. :snorky:

            It would seem that I'm the only one who is drawn to odd people then :heehee:

              There were days in my old job where I would find myself in Cambridge for a whole day with nothing much to do. If I knew this job was coming up I would save all my banking, post office etc jobs and take them with me. I would even do a bit a of grocery shopping if needed. If the timings were right I would often check out the local cinema. The afternoon film was considerably cheaper and would often be an "arty" film. Sometimes I would be the only person there.

                  If you want to watch a Swedish film with odd people in, I can recommend two comedies. If they are available there, that is.

                    I must admit that I tend to struggle with foriegn language comedies.

                    I struggle with films made in Hollywood as well!

                    Whats the quote? England and the USA. Two countries divided by a common language! :)

                      An apology:-

                      I usually try to link music that has been mentioned (usually on the 'listening' thread and not this one) but I missed a good link :doh:

                      Kill Bill 2 features a song 'About Her' (Malcolm McLaren). In that song is an extract from the song St Louis Blues

                      My man's
                      Got a heart
                      Like a rock
                      Cast in the sea

                      Well no one told me about her
                      The way she lies
                      Well no one told me about her
                      How many people cried

                      My man's Got a heart Like a rock Cast in the sea

                          Me and the wife has just watched this Volte/face (1997) - IMDb the film was a bit far fetched for me, ok if you like action movies :blue thumb:.

                            Naw!!! We went off to the famous Cheesecake Factory in Boca Raton. It was much more interesting than the film. :dbgrtmb:

                              I recently saw Terminator Genesys. It was appalling. I can't remember much of it. Ok, as a standalone action film it was probably OK. Unfortunately it's suppose to be the continuation of a story. I hate films that are inconsistent with its predecessors. Highlander 2 is a classic example of this.

                              :gaah:
