    I think Sellers did one more (bad) movie after that, but Being There is how he should be remembered. Ebert has it as one of his Great Movies, and I agree. (Spoiler warning.)

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Sellars is brilliant in Being There. Preferred The Last Detail and Harold and Maude over this one though.

    It's based on the book 'Factotum' about a fictional character called Henry Chinaski. There's a series of books, I read a few of them in my hard drinkin' days.

    A big +1 for this. One of my favourite war films. Although the plot doesn't sound great if you read that the atmosphere throughout is so unique that it made this such a great film. It is a bit of a marathon though but very enjoyable!

    If you like political intrigue, try All The President's Men: TG4 21:45. Robert Redford & Dustin Hoffman as reporters investigating the Watergate scandal. Every time you hear <whatever>gate, this is where it started. :cool:

    This afternoon (16:15) TV3 is showing Hulk, the one directed by Ang Lee in 2003. I really enjoyed this one for its style and its different take on the superhero story, and I don't understand some of the negative reviews it got. Lots of "Hulk Smash!" but also a strong focus on character development and the side-effects of super-powers.

    I watched this after the reboot. Both are good. But the reboot is better. The series continues to Rule.

    Scarface 11:45 tonight RTE1

    One of those films you just need to see, you may think that Al Pacino's acting is either awful or amazing but a very entertaining film to watch with one of the best closing scenes in movie history.

    Just a heads up that ITV4 is having a Clint Eastwood week, nothing out of the ordrinary title wise with first three DH flicks, Unforgiven, Pale Rider, True Crime.

    Also The Thing (:eek:) is on ITV1 tonight, dunno if its 4:3 and like the cast ripped to shreds but one to set the video for maybe.

    ^^^ EXCELLENT! :D

    The Damned United, BBC2 - 21:00 tonight.

    If you know a bit about Brian Clough, or you're missing the World Cup already, you should find this a very enjoyable watch. It works on a purely dramatic level too, though, being about the man's unshakeable self belief. A perfect Sunday night kind of film really - great acting, funny moments, and Johnny Giles. :D

    As well as Zodiac tomorrow night(wednesday), Zathura: A Space Adventure directed by John Favreau is on Rte 2 tomorrow morning at 9 O'Clock. It's basically Jumanji in space, but its a lot of fun, and its hard to go wrong with Favreau. :)

    Just in case you hadn't noticed, More4 are showing the award-winning documentary "The Cove" tonight at 10pm

    From the Channel4 site:
    "Louie Psihoyos' Oscar-winning documentary shows in chilling detail the illicit slaughter of dolphins at Taijia, a rural Japanese cove"

    Should be worth a look.

    Very powerful, disturbing and (strangely) exciting viewing, definitely recommended. It's rare that a documentary makes the blood boil as much as this one does!
