Nope, not going to happen. The only way you would get me in to a cinema to watch that film would be to tazer me...

i usually do the rounds at the cinema this time of year - because i always watch the oscars and like to know which ones to root for and all that. (which is on sky movies premiere, next sunday night, if anyone's interested.)

but, alas, Slumdog has eluded me thus far. keep meaning to go, but something else always crops up.

in my humble opinion, the best oscar movie this year is easily The Wrestler. if mickey rourke doesn't win best actor for it there's just no justice in the world.

Must be good fun going to the cinema with a tazered person who cannot lift their hand into the popcorn.

I haven't seen it and have heard mixed reports from friends who have.  I gather it's quite violent to start with.  Might wait for the DVD.

seen it and really enjoyed it! I was a bit sceptical that the guy from 'Skins' could deliver such a bigged up performance but he was actually very good.

I've seen it and thought it was absolutely brilliant. There is some disturbing violence at the start of the film but it's tame compared to some films. I would definitely recommend seeing the film in the cinema as the big screen adds so much to the viewing experience of this film.

well, now the hype has died down i decided to go see Slumdog today. and wow, what a movie! worth the hype? hmm... probably not, but it's still a damn fine flick. i think danny boyle deserved his 'best director' awards, but maybe not quite 'best film'.

but what was the deal with the 'bollywood' dance routine with the credits at the end? to me, it was like having a dance number at the end of Schindlers List. a tad odd.

I thought that routine at the end was naff too. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it embarrassed the hell out of me.
