Nothing wrong with subtitled films - after a long period of avoidance with all my friends seeing, and raving about it, I finally got round to seeing 'Amelie' a little while ago.
Thie first thing that strikes you is how un-Hollywood the film is, in feel, look, content.... then you appreciate the character development, plot structure (I told you it was un-Hollywood  ), then you realise you've been laughing (sometimes very uneasily) for 2 hours.
Everyone should see this film - gives you faith in good old fashioned story-telling.

Cést arrive prez de chez vous
Anyone seen that movie, great fun. It's about a psychopathic killer who is followed by a documentary crew, very much fun indeed. Only downfall it is in french, but they have subtitles

Haha, damn you for knowing Placebo! The Pure Morning lyrics are a bunch of bullsh*t really. Brian Molko (my future husband  ) Isn't exactly much of a poet. Still I'm strangely drawn to Placebo. Without You I'm Nothing still blows my mind.

A friend in need's a friend indeed
My Japanese is better
And when she's pressed she will undress
And then she's boxing clever
And who says they don't write great lyrics anymore?

Nahh, never heard of them. Worth checking out? I dig Bowie and T-Rex aswell heh. The band I'm mostly into at the moment is Placebo, who also appeared in Velvet Goldmine. They were the band performing 20th Century Boy in the movie :)

I've never listened to 2112 (yes, I have some homework to do!). But, is it true that is more or less the same concept as the new Queen stage musical?

I never thought of it like that, Paco. Thanks, you've ruined 2112 for me. When I go to see Rush later this year I wont be able to look at the stage without imagining Geddy in tights with a suspicous moustache!

Trust me, Joren - you don't want to see the cartoon version........ I mean you reeeeaaaalllllyyyyy don't want to see the cartoon version.
The deep thrumming you can hear in Moria isn't the oncoming orcish horde, it's actually Tolkien spinning in his grave!

WELCOME ABOARD, TimT! I thought the LOTR movies were OK, but I prefer reading the book. I haven't seen the original cartoon version though.
And there are many Monty Python and Terry Gilliam fans here... I'm one too!
