    Just watched Get The Gringo on the US one I had thought Mel Gibson was past it with all the troubles he has been though in the last years but I really enjoyed the film.

    My pirating has reduced greatly since I started using it. Used to download 3 or 4 movies a month, in the last 4 months I'd say I've only downloaded 1. If it wasn't for the fact NF doesn't HBO stuff I probably wouldn't download at all and the new HBO stuff is on Sky Atlantic anyway. I'm quite happy to wait until next year to see Breaking Bad Season 5 rather than download it now. Hopefully they'll get it quicker than they got season 4.

    I'd happily pay for legal downloads of stuff like Game of Thrones or BB every week, or like a once off payment for a season pass or something, I'm amazed more tv shows dont have it, its win win for the producers, people who are fans can see it without having to wait months or pirate. you can get HBO Go but you need to be a HBO customer to begin with, which defeats the purpose.

    Is The Skin I Live In worth watching? I'm not a horror movie fan but the trailer was interesting.

    Posted about it the other day: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=81125701&postcount=679

    It's not really a horror, by the way. Melodramatic thriller, maybe?

    The Skin I Live In was one of my favourite films of last year. In terms of genre, it's a bit of everything. Part sex thriller, part horror, part melodrama, part black comedy. The less you know about it in advance the better.

    Felt like some more time travel after Looper and had been meaning to watch it for quite a while anyway so I watched Timecrimes this evening.

    Thought it was brilliant, knew next to nothing about it so had no idea where it was going. Everything seemingly fit together so well, it was so well thought out in the way
    everything the protagonist did played right into how everything played out earlier in the movie, like all the paradoxes were well in place before the film started if you get what I mean.
    It's nowhere near as much of a mind**** as Primer(which I must rewatch soon) but there's still plenty to chew on. Highly recommended.
    That stone cold hottie sure got the short end of the stick though :(

    HBO are bringing a streaming service to Europe, only scandinavia at first though but surely they intend to eventually be available in all of europe.

    They have their multi year deal with Sky here though with Sky Atlantic not sure Sky will allow them to stream here while that deal is in place.

    Just happened tonight. Can get in and browse everything on PS3 but when I try and play a programme/film it says:

    "Netflix is not available in your location. For more information and assistance, visit support.netflix.com/en/node/277"

    Anyone else?

    Should add that I has to restart the app on the Xbox a few times before it signed in but that's not uncommon.

    Watched a great and really well made documentary called Style Wars from 1983, its about the graffiti movement with a bit of b boy stuff thrown in, some great characters and amazing shots of how rundown NY was back then, thoroughly recommend it.

    Just signed up to Netflix yesterday as we got a new TV (Smart TV) and have it in-built. Very handy. Watched Two documentaries last night (Elmo: A puppeteers Story and Trekkies) At the minute I'm watching Bowling For Columbine. I was a bit hesitant about getting Netflix but I've been pleasantly surprised. Good selection of documentaries and movies to suit everyone's taste.

    If anyone hasn't seen it, Bowling for Columbine is amazing at showing how stupid and trigger happy Americans really are!

    A joke the way sky Ireland sewn up.. I remember a few years ago rte would have the sopranos and other hbo shows on as well as lost.. now there would'nt be a hope in hell of rte having those rights,

    as far as netflixs goes it does'nt bother me, as I use the american version as well as the Irish one..

    Watched "The Killer Inside Me" last night, excellent neo noir, Affleck and the guy who played his boss 'Bob" (Tom Bower) were fantastic, Hudson and Alba's characters on the other hand could have been played by any 2 bit actresses. Just two unbelievable bits though, wouldn't Alba's character have at least
    put her hands up in front of her face when she was attacked
    and there is no way that they would have let her
    walk over to him in the house on her own at the end
    . Plus you would have thought that would have been suspicious
    about all that gasoline smell
    . Overall though fantastic and it looked great, re the violence, Tarantino and Scorcese are 100 times worse for fetishising extreme violence, Winterbottom was showing the reality of what happens and it was only really 2 scenes out of a whole film.

    No doubt, as bad as it was I'd be lying if I didn't find it enjoyable on some level. :o
