"Devil's Advocate"? El Potito on cante I believe - Pacino is a big flamenco fan.

RE: Film on the Beeb (in reply to peghead48)

Devils Advocate is one my favourite Movies.
Not because of that flamenco part with Tomatito, but because of the story, Pacino and the whole Movie in General.

Unfortunately the latest film with Al Pacino and De Niro was a total disaster.
I don't even remember the name of the movie. There were 2 Cops. Total boring Movie. Or those Comedy Movies from De Niro. Garbage.

Generally in the last few years 99% of the Movies were crap.

I miss Movies like Goodfellas, Godfather, Heat, etc.

You won't get such quality movies again.

But its with nearly EVERYTHING in the last few years (Music, books, Movies......).
Everything is getting more and more crappy.

Yep, thats the "low-cost, high-profit" mentality, which, in the long turn, ends in crappy products. In food, natural ingredients are getting more and more replaced by chemicals, with lower quality, and lower cost. One can just hope, that consumers one day turn these products against their companies. Otherwise nothing will change. Yes, We can change! LOL!

Arash, these comments sound like they belong in the "How do you know when you're no longer young" thread.

(And - welcome to the club

I've been festering in that club for years now and don't watch any movies or entertainment TV at all now.
I'm not on Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking site and don't even have a mobile phone.

cheers,

Ron

Deniz, exactly. Nur noch Schrott überall.

Estevan , i guess you are right .

Michel, i like Sendung mit der Maus too. But Tatort? No Way. Even if it is classic. I hate it. lol

Ron, ok, i am not that advanced yet, i mean i still have a Mobile Phone.

But i don't have Twitter, Facebook or any such account. I even deleted my yahoo messanger
a while ago. Only Email is still active. Maybe i should delete my email account too so
that i can be in fully integrated in your club

I love that movie. It is pretty freaky how there is something in there for everyone to recognize.

Antony,

"Suspenders" mean something entirely different in Britain and are usually associated with Playboy Centerfold models and some older, perverted High Court Judges.

As for mobile phones, I can hardly even be bothered answering my landline phone anyway, so why would I want to carry one around with me?

And those silly, annoying little ring tone tunes.

A phone should be "neutral" (ring-ring) IMO.

It's a bit like those Mickey Mouse figure house phones that folk used to buy in the eighties.

Great for answering when you're having a party and talking to your friends.

But not so great when the Boss is phoning up to tell you that the board has reached their decision on redundancies and is sorry to tell you, but can you come in and clear out your desk tomorrow...

Or your Mobile goes off on the train with a merry, jolly, jokey little tune to tell others around you just how cool a dude you are....and it's the Medical Centre calling to say that the results of your biopsy are now in and they are very sorry, but your condition is non-operable and they are so sorry to break the news, but to be reassured that palliative medicine is really excellent these days.

cheers,

Ron
