    The Armstrong Lie
    Channel 4, 21:00-23:35

    Documentary by Oscar-winner Alex Gibney about Lance Armstrong's participation in the 2009 Tour de France, which the filmmaker stopped working on in 2012 when it was revealed that the cyclist had used performance-enhancing drugs to achieve his seven titles. In 2013, just hours after admitting in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he had used banned substances, Armstrong spoke to Gibney to explain his actions.

    Ya im gonna tape this as its impossible to watch anything on C4 with all the ad breaks.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes, C4 Saturday night.

    A marvellous reboot of the franchise, if we can ignore the terrible Tim Burton effort from a few years back.

    Brilliant movie.

    Saw on my imdb app that it's Edward Furlong's birthday today and he's 37! I sometimes forget how old the movie is given the standard of the effects.

    Probably a discussion for another thread but I've come to the conclusion lately that special effects peaked in the 90's. They were used sparingly and had real impact, stuff like Avatar and 300 and anything Tim Burton's done in the past 10 years are just dreadful in comparison.

    Today you have a choice between two Katharine Hepburn movies:
    - The Philadelphia Story (1940) is on BBC2 12:50pm, with Cary Grant and James Stewart. I suppose you can call it a screwball comedy. Later remade as High Society (1956)
    - Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (1967) with Spencer Tracy and Sidney Poitier. "What do you mean, our daughter's boyfriend is black?"

    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’.

    — Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut

    Guess Who's Coming To Dinner is on BBC2 2:40pm. The perfect double bill.

    Oops - forgot to add the details. No need to choose between them, then. :cool:

    Trivia: the latter fllm was Spencer Tracy's last, he died just 17 days after filming wrapped. Sydney Poitier was reportedly so starstruck by Hepburn & Tracy that he could hardly talk when they were around, and had to deliver much of his dialogue to empty chairs. Hepburn won the 2nd of her 4 Best Actress Oscars.

    Much as I love Robin Williams, no one should EVER watch "RV - Runaway Vacation" - surely one of the worst movies ever made!

    Other than that, RIP Robin, you brought lots of fun to my life.
