The Butterfly Effect was on last night, it makes far more sense if you watch it sober. What's the alternate ending too? I've watched it before but watched the other ending but can't remember what it is now and it's really bugging me

I was supposed to watch it, but fell asleep, ah well ill watch it somehow..

Jono, do I need my tissues for this one? From the trailer it looked freaky tbh

I cant wait till Shrek 3 :* :oops:

I saw a couple of years ago, but I watched it last night since my sister hadn't seen it. I got really confused by the ending, cos they did show a different one. I'm almost sure that it actually ends with him going back to when his mum was in labour and strangling himself with the umbilical cord, which explains why his mum lost so many babies, cos that's what they all realised they had to do. It's a brilliant film though.

I didn't watch that I didn't think it seemed my thing.

I have watched 2 films this week that I enjoyed.

Man of the house starring Tommy Lee Jones - I don't really like him so I just keft it on in the background but ended up watching it. It is about a bunch of cheerleaders that witness a murder and TLJ is the sherrif that puts them under house arrest for their own safety.

Coach Carter - I never thought I would enjoy this but I did. I even cried. The language was a bit much and there is a bit in it where he has a go at his students for referring to each other as Nigger (topical)

I love having Sky Movies because I love it when I put on an unknown film and really enjoy it.

Yeah, Coach Carter is brilliant. Even i cried, and im usually such a man with films, heart of stone an all.

I went to see some culture movie at the Glasgow Film Theatre the other week, was god awful really. I felt good for seeing low buget movies and everything, but it was pathetic :(

TONIGHT: American History X and Cherry Falls on BBC 2

American History X is a very impressive film. It's relevance to society today (racism,nationalism, fascist beliefs....) makes it an important piece of work.

It is VERY distressing and violent though, understandably given its theme.

Edward Norton's performance should have won him an award.

I recommend it, BUT would warn, it is not pleasant.

Just went to see Die Hard 4.0 today. Didnt think it would be all that great tbh, and i thought with Jason Long in it, thought it was going to be a bit naff. But i was quite wrong, it was actually rather good. Worth the 6 quid i usually grudge to get into the cinema.

I saw the 1950s version of War of the Worlds on five a few years ago. It was quite good, but the actual book centres around a British journalist in London, not an American family as in the US movies, so the book is quite probably superior to both movies, as is normally the case anyway; I must attempt to read it sometime.

I'm looking forward to Pan's Labyrinth the most. I really do like fantasy movies and this has the added bonus of 1940s fascist Spain as a backdrop and so it should be interesting, if not compelling, viewing.

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
