According to wiki, there are three films called Sehnsucht, two of which are extant. Which do you mean: the 1990 one or the 2006 one?

(There are also two albums with that name, it turns out: one by Rammstein and one by Schiller. The former is very good.)

Oh the most recent one, 2006. I didn't know of the other - I will check it out.

PT - just rubbish to do with bookers and stuff

Unless anyone objects I don't see why not. This one could stay as Film and then I could make a TV one. And films on DVD could stay here and TV shows on DVD could go there. Does anyone object?

Two of the least appetizingly titled programmes to have ever been scheduled on British TV were running concurrently last night - BBC1 had 'Casualty 1904' whilst ITV treated us to 'He Kills Coppers'.

Casualty 1904? Really? Fuck. I've just lost a bet (but on the plus side, as it was a bet with myself, I've also won a bet) that the next Casualty/Holby spin-off would be fire brigade based.

I never saw going back in time as an option. That's why these BBC imagineers get paid so much, I guess. Intuitive, original thinking is at a premium, and these fuckers are pushing the envelope as far as it will possibly go.

Fire brigade? And look like a cut-price London's Burning? Nah, I'm waiting for Casualty 2204.

It'll be that, CSI: Holby or Casualty, P.I.

Holby She Wrote.

I saw a trailer for that "Casualty 1904" show and the concept just seemed like comedy gold.

"Get me 20ccs of chloroform, stat!"

"I'm a doctor, man, not a butcher. Bring me my leeches!"

Presumably the Beeb will be rolling out a series of shows apparently modelled on Marvel 1608.

Top Gear 1904: Hammond crashes a horse drawn cart, while Clarkson tests one of these new fangled motor vehicles.


Other suggestions welcomed.

Oh and I really can't get enough Pimp my Ride.

Tonight's Skins (E4) is terrific: it completely puts paid to those unrealistic/cartoony/titillating criticisms.

Todd Solondz's Storytelling which has been on the shelf for about 6 years waiting to be watched. It is of course really good. It reminds you of how poor a lot of US output in the 'indie' kind of category is nowadays; Solondz always seems to me to have something genuine, which is lacking in a lot of films these days; I need to think a bit more about how exactly to define it, though.

I can't believe how crap the TV viewing has been over the past 2 weeks or so. I can't get Freeview at present, so am stuck with the 4 basic channels (no Channel 5 and S4C rather than Channel 4). Because I hate reality/celebrity shows, the choice is absoloutley diabolical. It's been mostly youtube videos that have passed my time.

I've decided to watch the films of Almovodar from Pepi, Luci, Bom onwards starting from last night. Some memorable characters and scenes and very enjoyable film. I assume there was a deeper significance to the lax attitude to rape and beatings.
