Did anyone catch Channel Four's 50 Films to See Before You Die?
The show was designed to tell you about great films not everyone will have seen, Fanny and Alexander, Black Narcissus, Heavenly Creatures, Come and See, Trainspotting and Scarface to name but a few.
Great. However each feature seemed to give away the ending of the respective film. This is supposed to be a programme that points you in the direction of great films you've not thought about seeing yet. (And they're all coming up on the now free to air Film Four). It ended up being a show that told the viewer 'I know more than you. I've seen a film you haven't. I know how it ends'. A great idea for a programme and they interviewed a lot of the main players, but more than likely spoiled the majority of the 50 films for its viewers.
When I first saw Scream I saw it on video. I watched it with my then flatmate who said, at a certain point, in a childish voice "I know who the killer is". That point was when the eventual killer made his first on screen appearance. You think I didn't work out who done it?

You can tell the guys who think their blogs are really edgy by their 'I hate everyone attitude'. To save you the bother of visiting it Bawbag here's last two posts are about a) Bob Geldof (oooh) and b) A lame, years old anti George Bush post.
That's taught me 'how to do it properly'.
Ha ha, what kind of a clown leaves a comment like that? Brilliant.
