Yeah, don't mince words. Tell  us what you really think.

I don't know what to watch next:

Spring
The Lives of Others
The Theory of Everything

I'm leaning toward Spring.

Saw The Theory of Everything.  The actor who played Hawking did an outstanding job conveying the slide into ALS.  For no other reason, I would watch that.

Yeah alright.  I've heard that Hawking himself wished the film had focused more on the science - I'm currently reading In Search of Schrodinger's Cat by John Gribbin so I wish that too - but an excellent dramatic portrayal of something is usually enough to sell me on a film. :)

Cheers for the recommendation!

Went and saw "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.". As a huge fan from way-back-when I though it was pretty good. It was more of an origin story than I was expecting and an obvious set up for a sequel or two. Given it was set very early in the history of U.N.C.L.E. I will forgive them the rather modest use of gadgets. The "sixties" style was well done and the story moved right along. They had some good bad guys and gals and the first meeting of Solo and Ilya was a hoot.

Huh.  I had that film written off, but you've convinced me.

Dunno mate. get Geek to stick his hand in and find out.

[Huw the Poo]

Should be easy enough.  He'll stick his hand into any old box.

[Barthheart]

Bob: but is it dead or alive?

Yes it is.

[bob48]

And there we have a scientific answer, eh!

[Barthheart]

The other answer is "a duck".... but might confuse some here abouts......
