Ok lads and lassies, we're getting pretty desperate here. We're bottom of the league and to take our minds off of this until Saturday, I propose this... One song, book and film to take to the Island of I'Ranger out in the middle of the Pacific for a week. Moon River, Bread Upon the Waters by Irwin Shaw and Django Unchained
Ok so the films the easy one Shawshank Redemption Book: Power of One (I know!) Bryce courtney - I assume im not allowd the Beano Annual 1975- or my colour by numbers Whizzer & Chips Albumn. Music is the hardest (so many to choose from- see music thread), but if its one song only.. Sitting on The Dock Of a Bay - Otis Redding
Book: The Bible (Finally have time to read it ) Film: Castaway (To have some tips from it....) Music : Living on a Island ( Status Quo)
Film : "Sex Lives Of The Potato Men" Song : "Agadoo" by Black Lace Book : "Speaking For Myself" by Cherie Blair
Just a week Nines? I'd be tempted to try a complete modern world detox, take nothing. But if you insist, and just for the week: Bang Bang - the Raconteurs The Devil in the White City - Erik Larsen (its the Chicago White City, not the W12 one) Grand Budapest Hotel For an stay of unknown duration: In My Time of Dying - Led Zep Complete Short Stories - JG Ballard Withnail and I
Great thread. Song - Decades Joy Division Film - Midnight Cowboy Book - Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett
Which Castaway film though?? The 1986 film starring Amanda Donohoe and Oliver Reed... or... the 2000 film starring Tom Hanks. There's quite a difference in the survival 'tips' in each film....
Book - Count of Monte Christo Film - For a Few Dollars More Song - On an Island With You (Shed Seven) Would have gone for Usual Suspects (my stock film when I'm feeling ill or don't know what to watch) but I suddenly realised how much is comprised of hot air. SYNOPSIS (WARNING, MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS) - Boat without drugs on gets blow up. Man gets arrested nearby, chats to cop (all made up). Man gets released and it turns out that either him or Pete Postlethwaite might be some bloke who may or may not exist.
Nice one Mr 9's. I will put my noose away for another week.. please log in to view this image Only kidding!
OK so my film would be the Star Wars box set (Does this count?) Book, Maths made simple Ages four to seven (I can't get through the day without this wonderful book) Song would be the all time classic Ooh Aah by Gina G!
Song - Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd) Book - Contact (Carl Sagan) Film - Inception (Christopher Nolan)
Music: Hootie and the Blowfish "cracked Rear View" Books: Anything from "John Grisham Film: Miracle on 34th Street
Book - Adolf Hitler My Part in his Downfall....Spike Milligan Song - Life's Been Good - Joe Walsh Film - Chicargo
