Blade Runner: Final Cut. Not really any different from 92's Directors Cut in terms of added scenes or anything like that, but the print (can you call it a print on DVD?) is absolutely gorgeous. There's been wee tweeks to the movie here and there. When Deckard shoots Zhora it no longer looks like a rugby player in a wig crashing through the glass, and when Bryant originally takes Deckard into his office he now says that they have "4 skin jobs" instead of the plot holey 5 he said in the originals. Again not much of a change, but enough to get my geeky juices flowing. There also seems to be a few new effects shots of the police hover cars. Anyway. Best Sci Fi Movie Ever! 11/10 B)

I was at Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds at the SECC tonight and it was fucking brilliant! B)

+3. Get it sorted!

It most certainly was. I haven't came out of a gig with such a big smile on my face for years. Outstanding B)

Aparently Crowded House have organised this gig purely for P&B

Aye, my mate bought the tickets and on the website it was seated all over. Still can't wait though B)

Crowded House tonight at the SECC. This is the first concert I'll have been to that's all seated!! I must be getting old.

I thought I saw someone at the window.....

Megan Fox, never has an actress been so aptly named. I must go now, and do stuff......

Scarface. First time I've actually seen it start to finish. Crackin picture. Say hello to my leeeeetellll friend! 9/10

b*****d

Does anyone know if any cinemas in the Glasgow area are showing Blade Runner: Final Cut? I can't find it anywhere

The first time I watched it years ago, I remember feeling that I probably shouldn't have felt the way I did at the end. It's just such a powerful film, and it really gives you a sense of the long periods of sheer boredom, followed by terrifing periods where they could all be dead in seconds. And get Stalingrad, you'll pick it up for buttons in HMV or the like. Don't get the dubbed version, it's awful

The shortened movie version, or the monster TV version? Either way, absolutely stunning. If you haven't already seen it, get a hold of Stalingrad. It's aother German movie in the same vein. Really outstanding piece of cinema.

Went to see Eastern Promises last night and thought it was excellent. Viggo Morternsen is outstanding in it. There are one or two incredibly brutal scenes that really make you squirm. 8.5/10

American Gangster Cracking performance as always from Denzel Washington, but Russel Crowes character is criminally underused and you never really get any feeling for him. Could have been a classic, but just falls short. A solid 7/10

Crowded House at the SECC on the 30th (i think)

Having a wee listen to "Ten" by Pearl Jam. Haven't listened to this for years B)

I went to the movies to see Zodiac and thought it was excellent. If you haven't already, try and get a hold of the book written by the Jake Gyllenhal character Robert Graysmith. It's a really chilling read, even more so as it uses actual letters from Zodiac and the police files and reports from the time. In fact, here's a link

That was bang out of order. The band got skelped numerous times. FFS I stood for 20 mins to buy two warm cans of Miller at £2 a pop, no fucking way would I be throwing them.

They're OK, it was more to show my pleasure that I'd won something for the first time in my puff. I was at the James gig too, and whilst I wasn't blown away, they do have a Happy Mondays feel about them.

I've just won two tickets to go see The Twang tonight at the Barras from Rock Radio. WOOT!

I caught a wee bit of that last night. It was the bit in the boozer where they show you Jackie scoring all his goals for "Celtic". In reality they had doctored someof his great goals for the Gers to make it look like he was wearing Celtic colours. Had to turn it off. Nightmares last night because of it.

Just in from the Fratellis at the SECC. Great gig B)

Got that before Death Proof the other night at the pictures. Does indeed look the baws. Viggo's accent is slightly dodgy by the sounds of it though
