Nice one. I was about to swap from Netflix to LoveFilm so the timing couldn't be better.

We've been with LoveFilm on the postal service but now we have unlimited broadband I thought we'd change to Netflix as it looks good
Netflix has better streaming quality (on my computer anyway) and is better for american TV shows, but has less films. Having said that it does have a lot of old films that LoveFilm didn't have online.

The only times I've streamed from it (using IPad) I've had no problems with streaming. At the end of this next 6 month deal I'm going to have another look and see how both have improved. Need to sort out an unlimited broadband service first!
Skyfall - Really good. Saw it at the IMAX last night. Thoughts:Overall – Good action, decent plot and they’ve managed to install the “cast” for the next one. Bonzer!
Got my logon working last night and I have to say the LoveFilm online film catalogue is miles more extensive and of a higher quality than Netflix. Netflix also don't do the DVD in the post thing either so I'm glad I switched.Watched The Guard last night which was absolutely brilliant. Best flick I've seen in a long time.
What?You are kidding aren't you?The plot was preposterous, inconsistent, and far-fetched.Great fun though and well put together and crafted, but sheesh.
Had it been a "real" mission the film would have been over even before Ms Adkins Soul/pop-infused stylings
Why did the automatic brakes - fitted onto every train in the World not activate when the hoses between the carriages were severed?
Why did "Eve" have a high-powered sniper rifle that only contained one bullet?
If you haven't seen it (or even if you have) set the timer for Micmacs on late tonight on C4. I rate it as one of Jeunets best. Also Big Lebowski on in 5mins on itv4.

It's not meant to be realistic, it's a fantasy spy action thriller! As you said, great fun.But, just to humour you....Quote from: aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB on November 29, 2012, 07:44:58 pmHad it been a "real" mission the film would have been over even before Ms Adkins Soul/pop-infused stylings That'd make a great movie wouldn't it.......Quote from: aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB on November 29, 2012, 07:44:58 pmWhy did the automatic brakes - fitted onto every train in the World not activate when the hoses between the carriages were severed? Is this a problem you have with every film that takes a little artistic license?Quote from: aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB on November 29, 2012, 07:44:58 pmWhy did "Eve" have a high-powered sniper rifle that only contained one bullet?She did but "froze" having just shot Bond?In general, I do think that they were tied a bit with the anniversary thing, hence the going back to Skyfall but still thought it was avery enjoyable Bond romp with good acting and characters.
J ... which is incredibly tense, and pretty compelling. I am slightly unsure about the moral position of using a political situation like the one depicted as a form of entertainment......
