The worst film ive ever seen is Vanilla Sky. It scares me to think i wasted 2 and a half hours of my life on that condensed pile of garbage.

Yeah, the only bit I liked was the opening scene. The first scene is brilliant. Playing Everything In Its Right Place by Radiohead and the bit where he's having the dream. The rest of it was tedious and made no sense.

It's on Film4 apparently, that's what the advert on 4 just said. I'd have a look if I knew which channel that was. My parents have it on VHS and I watched half of it once but never finished it. I have the soundtrack though - got it for 99p last week, and it's great.

I remember as a kid not understanding why I wasn't allowed to watch Trainspotting, because I thought it was about trains.

I think I thought it was about Trains. How wrong can anyone be. Probably the best cult movie of the 90's

"Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a f***ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire/purchase in a range of f***ing fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the f**k you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game-shows, stuffing f***ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, f***ed-up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life."

Was last night the first time you'd seen it John?

I can't count the times I've seen it. We even watched it at school once.

Christ no. I think I saw it 2 years after it'd been released. I dont think a year has gone by since that time when I havent seen it! I was just saying that before I had seen the film, I'd have thought it was just that. I was a very naive teenager!

My dad was a bit of a train enthusiast, so there were a number of videos about actual trains lying around, so when one turned up called "Trainspotting", I couldn't understand why it was an 18 (I was about 7 or 8 at the time, so forgive my naivety).

Does anyone remember that clip on the beginning of videos where the guy buys the pirated video of Trainspotting from the dodgy market stall and tries to take it back? And he says "it didn't make any sense" and the guy says "Trainspotting? I'm not surprised mate". A classic memory from my youth....

I can't find the original video, but a parody of it is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdzD97AKxy0

I remember that! I saw it actually just a couple of weeks ago!

This Monday on Channel 4 at 9pm, you can see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A film that is so beautifully made and acted. It stars Jim Carrey in probably his best role and Kate Winslett. With support from Elijah Wood and Kirsten Dunst (who is gorgeous)

So is Elijah Wood :bah:

Think i'll watch this. Heard it was quite an obscure movie.

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
