Yeah. "Misery porn" is the term that sticks in my mind used to describe that film! Never felt up to checking it out. Same with Nil by Mouth, The War Zone et al . . .

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Damn fine filmmaking, and a super slick adaptation to boot, beautifully condensed. I actually found it a much more satisfying experience than the plodding tv series, which sorely missed the design budget afforded here. But what is it with Tomas Alfredson and unconvincing CGI animals?! In Let the Right One In it was the cats, here it's Mark Strong battling a flaming bird! A minor blip in an otherwise perfect film. I have to own that Blu Ray. Many rewatches to come . . . ! Cosmopoilis A bit of a chore to get through, although I didn't mind Pattinson in the lead role (actually, I think this is the first film I've seen him in). I settled into the stylised rhythm of the character's speech quite easily, but it eventually became all too repetitive and tiresome. It's no Holy Motors that's for sure. "Where do all the limos go at night?" indeed . . .

I'm trying to think what store Dem means too, I know the excellent Vinyl Tap used be down that way but I can't think of a movie store

Oh yeah, I knew you meant MB but... I just don't know what it is NOW. The corn exchange was gutted three or four years ago to make way for a new era of identikit health food shops. The surrounding shops have been less affected outwardly, but I don't know what has replaced 'Movie Boulevard', which I know went a couple of years ago (I think?)
