The Crow and films that embarass you in front of people

[Pieface]

Happily I got over My Own Private Idaho without actually showing it to anyone important. I think a couple of friends didn't quite get away unscathed but they had the hots for River Pheonix too so it was ok.

Oh hey! River died as well. What's with these people?!

Sounds more like you changed your opinion of the film because the girl didn't like it.

Girls don't like those kind of films...go see a rom-com or a weepie...not a film about death, drugs and anal rape.

The Crow rocks!

The problem isn't that it's about death, drugs or anal rape, it's that the film feels like a trailer for itself - Ridley Scott-itis...

Because of the Spanish Prisoner incident, one of the friends in particular says he can never trust me when I say a film is good

I thought my nan would like Scum. How wrong I was

Conversely, my nan loved Withnail & I and The Big Lebowski, though she thought they were "a bit sweary."

The Crow is fucking awesome. As is the soundtrack.

First time I can remember watching a movie and thinking the soundtrack was better than the film. That's happened a lot since then, but it's the first one I can recall.

Yeah, cos no girl has ever loved the Crow, has she? It's basically a girl's film, mate. A weird girl's film.

Have you seen Ninja Warrior on one of the meaningless low-audience digital channels? It's some crazy import from Japan which requires people who would clearly get into the British Olympic gymnastic team but who in Japan just sail fishing boats and shit to complete the hardest obstacle course you'll ever see in your life. The one I saw involved 100 off these superhumans and not one of them manage it.

I just wanna confirm, I have not seen Ninja Warrior. I'll look out for it though. It isn't like Takeshi's Castle is it? Only the other day I found out that Takeshi is Takeshi Kitano. He sure gets about.

It's like an utimate hardcore version of Takeshi's Castle, reserved purely for supermen and with no comedy element, no giant inflatables or anything like that, but just men clinging onto iron girders 20ft above a dirty lake.

for spooky kid goth girls with a death fixation.

Fluffy-hippy alt girls would go for Labyrinth (the Bowie one)

Aha! Here is.

In 22 series, only two people have EVER completed the course, it would seem.

dogma, when I was 18 and thought it was clever and funny - watched it again a few years later and its just an embarassment. A few other Kevin Smith numbers, as well...
