Dicaprio In With Moyles!!


Viv

Recommended Posts

Leonardo Dicaprio will be in with Moyles Friday, 16th July 2010 to discuss his new movie "Inception".

Leonardo DiCaprio might be starring in the year’s most complicated thriller, Inception, but he insists he’s no sci-fi geek.

The actor plays the lead character in breathtaking new blockbuster Inception, which is a tale about a super-thief who steals secrets from inside people’s dreams.

Leo plays Dom Cobb, who was born with a extraordinary gift of being able to enter people’s minds when they’re asleep and extract valuable information.

That means he can make a nice little profit from selling the secrets. But he’s constantly on the run.

(information from Daily Star)

Woo!!

O, Stiggy, lighten up!! You already got your "Surgery topic" wish....

I'm not that sure I even 100% agree with that topic, because a lot of the stuff is now lost in pages + pages of discussion. :-(

And how is it the same topics? If Moyles has different guests, then it's different topics!! Jackie Chan has never been a guest ever (as far as I can remember anyway).

How about all the Birthday topics going into one thread? Aled.info do that!! Mind you, now I never read it - which actually proves my point of people not bothering to open the same topic up!! :-)

Just call him a prat Viv, he doesn't consider it a personal attack apparently... (not when he says it to others anyways, classes it as 'speaking his mind)

The threads are about one show but it's different to all the surgery threads as they were for EVERY show where Moyles guests each deserve individual discussion and review. Different situation.

Why not have individual discussion and review in one thread?

:rolleyes: *sighs* This has just been pointed out!! Stuff gets lost altogether, if there is too much going into the one topic... By posting which guests are coming in, people may choose whether they want to open it up and read about it, or not.

I know I like to read about separate guests individually, rather than rake through pages of comments to find what I'm looking for (example = surgery topic).

Look at this, Juggy + Mitchell + Stiggy.... Scottish scenery (taken July 2010 by me)... take a look a the pic, breathe deeply, and ask yourselves how important is all the fuss!!

Lighten up? I made a small organisational suggestion. As for the birthday thread good idea.

You're boring me now. Your endless dull PM's seemed to suggest I was on your ignore list? What happened there? At the time I thought you were being a prat. I told you. Get over it.

My point entirely.

I'm just trying to point out that in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't that big a deal, Stiggy!!

It's not "organisation" if all the comments get all mixed up because they're in the one topic!! And you have to spend valuable time dredging through pages + pages of stuff. :-)

You know, ever since the Surgery stuff was put into one thread, I curiously lost interest in it altogether (or just about anyway)

The last post was yours it seems, haven't gone in to it, but I'm guessing it's not particularly active even in the week or two before that?

Either way, making it just one thread seems to have killed that discussion and this thread's been hijacked over it so that must be a 100% success...

It was active when the Surgery were advising about on-line stuff... other than that, it's not been a particularly productive topic, nope!!

But then, the Surgery itself badly needs promoting. I notice different DJs commenting on the topics during the week, so they must be trying to help!!

I know I never said it was! I made a one line one post suggestion! I didn't go on a long rant about how much better it would be etc, I made a small suggestion!

Yeh, but your 'small' suggestion is actually a BIG suggestion, because it affects the entire R1 section of the Board!!

Who's ranting anyway?! :-/ And you're insulting Doovde, who probably makes more sense than anyone!!

I'm off to eat cookies.

You know what when you're in this sort of discussion with Viv and the other one you realise it's time to do anything else with your time other than what you're doing at the moment.

Insult? Where... actually, not gonna bother clicking VIEW POST on any of those blocked ones. Not worth it just to see personal attacks (which the poster claims to be -and acts like he's- above:rolleyes:).

The Surgery thread does seem to have died... last post nearly a week ago? Obviously nothing on last night worth discussing then...

The flipside to this argument being that when the threads are separate, they end up purely being full of discussion about why we need so many separate threads or how stupid Viv's thread title is.

Maybe because a small number of members make that very vocal complaint every damn time such a thread is set up, thus interrupting the flow of any other discussion that might have otherwise been going on rather than actually contributing what COULD have been good input into the thread... Maybe that's what's putting people off. That's also in some of these cases a classic example of not following their own advice to get over stuff and let it die.

If people don't like the threads, fine, let them die on their own rather than stretching out your own 'pain' by keeping the thread up at the top of the list.

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
