With Halloween fast approaching we are getting lots of horror related movies in the cinemas!

Rob Zombies Halloween is out in the coming weeks. Looks very sick and very twisted. What do we expect from the director that brought us House Of A Thousand Corpses? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373883/

Also Saw IV is on its way. Little is known about it though. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0890870/

What is everyones favourite horror/halloween related film?

Just watched Priscilla Queen of the Desert for at least the tenth time! I LOVE this film so much. The script is so witty and bitchy. Guy Pearce looks great in a basque too!

How come the Australians can make such hilarious independent quirky comedies? Strictly Ballroom and Muriel's Wedding are both wonderful films too.

Then you have the outstanding Baz Luhrmann with his totally accessible Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge.

Not just comedies either, Australia produces only several movies per year but they're often always of outstanding quality: Bad Boy Bubby, Wolf Creek, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Mad Max to name but a few...

Napoleon Dynamite is on in an hour. I have heard such good things about this film.

Does anyone here have an opinion? Is it worth a watch?

Apparently not... Wasn't very good was it.

Wound up watching the recent Transformers film instead - which while being amusing and a real spectacle falls massively short on actual storyline. Shame, but then its origin is a set of toys I suppose...

It does take a couple of viewings to properly get into Napoleon Dynamite, I didn't really like it when I first saw it but then suddenly decided I did like it after all when I saw it again. Most of the humour's quite subtle and you do have to be in a specific age group in order to sppreciate it. But it is a good film.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I love Napolean Dynamite :D and Transformers was an amazing film. I was hooked on the old cartoon series as a child too! Here are some of my personal favourites:

  • The Green Mile
  • Lord of the Rings, 1 - 3
  • The Matrix 1,2 & 3
  • Transformers
  • Spiderman 1, 2 & 3
  • Star Wars 1 - 6

All amazing films, in my opinion.

The most heroic act is the one that no-one knows about.

Just watched the Family Guy Star Wars spoof DVD.

It was really amusing. I was either grinning or laughing out loud the whole way through.

Best if you've seen see Star Wars Episode 1 first I think, but I highly recommend this.

    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • 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.
