    Such a great dish. Not that I've had it in Rome but make it sometimes. Although always tempted to just make it a really peppery carbonara.

    Also had some version of it in Variety Jones recently, they certainly did not ruin it.

      My Wired podcast recommended the Folk Fabrique playlist on spotify, and its quite a wild ride. I've managed to bore myself senseless with my 'liked' music on spotify. But was listening to this blend of African dance folk whatever the fuck on the evening walk and its really something else. Might be worth giving it a go - you'll know after the first song if its your thing. Its all brilliantly different and cool and everything.

        Edge of Tomorrow is Cruises best film imo. Cracker.

            A sequel in the works afaik. Only watched the first on a few weeks ago, very impressed.
            This too shall pass.

              Variety Jones looks very interesting! Love these no-choice loads-of-courses menus. Have Mr Fox coming up next week which seems to be the same idea.

                I didn't bother watching the end of Edge of tomorrow. I enjoyed most of it, the initial conceit was quite interesting but it got really dull by the end. Talking of dull - the latest bond is dreadful. Way too long, terrible plot and boring action scenes. Reni Malek gave a truly terrible performance as the villain, although to be fair the character was terrible. I'm annoyed I went to see it.

                      What were you expecting? Aside from casino royale all the craig Bond movies have been a mess , can’t remember much of any of them aside from Mexico City day of the dead scene in one of them
                      Timothy dalton bond movies still safe at the top

                        Casino Royale was the last bond film I went to see. For some reason, I got the impression this was supposed to be good.

                                Surely Waterworld is a masterpiece hidden in plain sight. It's not Costner's fault that film audiences are moronic philistines.

                                  Yeah his Bond character is so fucking dull. You get the impression he thinks it's an actual job he is clocking into. Not a moments fun to be had. At least Pearse was mildly humorous.

                                    Why are ye all so obsessed with an English Spy who just wont fking DIE.


                                    Dances with wolves has a great backstory about the writer.
                                    Good movie too.

                                        If you say you haven't watched The Bodyguard more than 3 times in your life you're a liar. A film that just worked when it was released.
                                        Was a big Prince of Thieves fan as a kid and growing up and would give it a spin again no questions asked. Although that is Rickman's movie. Not Costner. Great score in it. Not the Adam's stuff. That was only end credits.

                                        Last two times i seen him on the big screen were Molly's Game and Draft Day. The latter being fucking horrendous but as a Browns and NFL fan, i was in.

                                          I'm a liar. The Bodyguard???? Jaysus .

                                          I agree Rickman was supreme in that RH flick . Without him it would have been a car crash. . Costner didnt even try. As for the Bryan Adam's song. Tortured us for months .

                                            It could be the best movie ever, but I wouldn't know because I've never seen it.

                                              Bull Durham and Perfect World are probably my 2 favs.

                                              I’m a sucker for sports movies with him in it.

                                              Some really lol bad sports ones that I still love (Tin Cup, Draft Day, McFarland USA etc)

                                              American Flyers I loved as a kid (Think Rocky 4 with bikes)

                                              Went to see Dances with Wolves in the Savoy and remember liking it at the time but haven’t rewatched it.

                                                Think The Untouchables is the only Costner movie I've watched more than once.

                                                  And seriously re Bodyguard? I'd imagine it had a massive re run rate on RTE/UTV/BBC(When that was a thing). Or is it just that i grew up in female dominated house that it was on so often?

Love the little neck strap, but I think that might be a personal preference.€50 though. Hard to go wrong. Even if earbuds used to once-upon-a-time give you change from a tenner.

                                                              Costner hid a bad run of movies after Waterworld that he could never back from. The last time he registered on my radar was some apparently painfully bad movie about being a postman. And the movie, seemingly, was largely just him delivering letters. I always somewhat confuse him with Michael Keaton. Maybe they look a bit similar.

They are ridiculously efficient. Why would anyone go direct to an insurance company - are there lower rates? Can't imagine it.

                                                                                                Was a big Prince of Thieves fan as a kid and growing up and would give it a spin again no questions asked. Although that is Rickman's movie. Not Costner. Great score in it. Not the Adam's stuff. That was only end credits.

                                                                                                Last two times i seen him on the big screen were Molly's Game and Draft Day. The latter being fucking horrendous but as a Browns and NFL fan, i was in.
                                                                                                I can safely say, I've only ever caught max 20-25 minutes of the Bodyguard once and that was mid way through the film while flicking through channels and then moving on as it was crap.

                                                                                                And seriously re Bodyguard? I'd imagine it had a massive re run rate on RTE/UTV/BBC(When that was a thing). Or is it just that i grew up in female dominated house that it was on so often?
                                                                                                I do get the female dominated house though, my house was just dominated slightly earlier. I could almost quote Top Gun and Dirty Dancing word for word and have watched them dozens of times and would watch them again. All my older sisters had moved out by 1990 so the standard of movie watching greatly increased from then on!

I was heading up the Alps in a minibus, a few years back on my first ski/snowboard trip. Snow and ice everywhere, yet the driver had no problem flinging the minibus blind into every hairpin turn while climbing up the mountains in diminishing light. Best thing to do was close your eyes and not look out the window.

Guy is a flaming lunatic on the roads... Cut other drivers off and swearing (I think) at them for having the audacity for being on the same roads as him. Undertaking and overtaking performed without thoughts of other cars... I have seen bad driving before but that takes the biscuit!

The last time he registered on my radar was some apparently painfully bad movie about being a postman. And the movie, seemingly, was largely just him delivering letters. I always somewhat confuse him with Michael Keaton. Maybe they look a bit similar.
                                                                                                            I was of the same view and then stumbled onto Mr Brooks a few years ago.

It seems it didn’t get much traction at the time but if it had I think it had the potential to give his career a rebirth tbh. Anyway if any one fancies watching a disturbing serial killer movie for a bit of light entertainment I recommend it.

To my European eyes, the roads looked gridlocked. guy says no problem. i jump in the front, and the wife and kids jump in the back. guy turns up his radio full blast with some heavy techno. guy does a u turn and goes against the traffic, goes around a massive roundabout the wrong way, dodging cars left and right, then down a massive 2 way road, still on the wrong side before cutting across the divide back on the right side.
                                                                                                                    He then hammers it up the road. Sometimes, he looks at me, winks, then starts swerving like a madman and looking at the kids screaming (and eventually laughing). i'm laughing my head off at this stage. Everyone in the cab is holding on for dear life. swerve-scream-laugh goes on for a good 10 minutes. We finally reach our destination and pay the man, comfortable in the knowledge that we probably just had the craziest cab ride of our lives.

                                                                                                                    It still makes me laugh now just thinking about it.

Then its a fairly obvious Cuba situation, where you have this US-funded heavily-armed pain in the ass on your border, and its automatic invasion. That's probably why the US has repeatedly warned Taiwan not to declare independence.

                                                                                                                          The current situation is nothing. Taiwanese domestic defence minister wants approval for billions of extra armaments, so he ratchets up the fear factor. China doesn't want to have billions of armaments aimed against them so they are sabre-rattling. Its all meaningless though, there won't be any 'war' when it eventually comes to it because everyone loses from destroying resources and the China-Taiwan imbalance will be so great.
