The best War of the Worlds is Jeff Wayne's musical version- without a doubt. The album will be 30 years old next year and still sounds great

We did a project on that in year 6 and I liked it so much I saved up and bought it. It's amazing, but I think it's still in England at my Dad's. I loved the drama of it all, and the way some of the songs are a bit silly, but still add to it all.

"The Core" is on film4 tonight at 10. Think i'll watch that. Its sci fi week i think, its one about the earths core dying or something and death and destruction. A nice light movie for a thursday night.

It's a pretty good film, one of the best disaster films I've seen in a while, better than The Day After Tommorow. It's choc-a-bloc full of scientific inaccuracies though, which annoyed me :x

I know nothing about science so itd probably go way over my head. Turned out we watched "Out Of Time" anyway, the Denzel Washington film. Some great twists in that.

Watched the tarantino/rodriguez double bill Grindhouse and it is rather stinky although the rodriguez film is so much better than the tarantino one. Its never good that the fake trailers are better than the films and at over 3 hours long.

Its supposed to be a homage to rubbish 'B' movies but is just an expensive waste of money and can see why it bombed in the states. Avoid like the actual plague when its in the cinema and can they both get back to making proper movies thanks

I watched Elizabethtown in the end. It was very good but not as good as I expected.

I have the whole lot of screencaps and I have been looking through them and making my own story up for the film lol

Did you not think the soundtrack was brilliant? On his road trip towards the end, that is the best bit of a movie i've seen in a long time

I think with Big brother starting this week some of us may need some respite in the form of films...

Tonight: there's a good choice! Porridge, Training Day and Apocalypse Now

Sunday: Nothing brilliant. Mission Impossible at 3.30 on ITV 1. Maybe

Monday: Ocean's Eleven (quite appropriate with Ocean's Thirteen in cinema's soon) Airplane! on Five, and High School Musical

Tuesday: Nuffink. Rent a DVD or see what's on Sky

Wednesday: Saving Private Ryan (good film!)

Thursday: See tuesday...

Friday: Rambo III, if your into them. I'm not.

Best day is today. But i'm suprised there's nothing more worth watching on Bank Holiday Monday

Also on tonight on Channel 4 is 50 Films to See Before You Die

    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
    • I felt it was much better with the staging and everything.  I still cannot warm to his voice but he's a very good performer. Ireland was everything though.
    • Scott must feel somewhat vindicated to have won his award last night, after all the manure thrown at him by Steve Wright fans.
