No... you'll probably just chuckle at the huge number of cliches.

I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Normally I watch about 1 a week or so, sometimes even less than that. But I like these challenges, they encourage me to seek out new things that I've not tried before. The beer challenge taught me a huge amount about beer, and all the different styles of beer. I like this challenge because I'm getting round to seeing lots of films I always intended on watching and I'm finding lots of films to watch that I wouldn't have otherwise by seeing what other's are watching too.

Plus... in the right circumstances I can get a little competitive. :shifty:

Plus you've had an awful cold, so you've been home watching films to alleviate your boredom for - how many days now?

Glad to see that the cold is not bugging you down too much, at least not in this respect. :tup:
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

It was quite good.... and I enjoyed it. But really, I'm a bit bored of the Modern British Ganster Film™ style. Once you've seen Lock Stock, Snatch and Layer Cake, it gets a bit samey after that.

Hmm... well I suppose I don´t have to watch this one since Vinnie Jones isn´t in it :biggrin:
