It was five plastic containers (the lids from 100 spindle packs of DVDs. Poured them into carrier bags, doubled the bags up hoping they wouldn't split. One of them still split, leading to me having to pick up a few hundred 1p coins from the Asda foyer. Glad it was late and not many people about.

The machine flashed up a message at one point that siad "my you have a lot of coins". I was only half way through at that point lol. The machine takes 11p in every pound, still easier than taking them to the bank though, especially as they get really shitty if you take too many coins in these days.

Watched a German thriller earlier - Das Experiment. Amazing yet disturbing. 20 guys agree to sign away their liberty to take part in a  prison experiment where half of them play guards and half play prisoners for 2 weeks. I found it disturbing mostly because it's based on a real experiment that took place back in the 70s and had to be ended after 6 days due to the guards exhibiting sadistic behaviour... 8/10

An episode of the TV series "Life" (the cop show with Damian Lewis) used the same experiment as the basis for the story.

Aye, a few shows have used that idea. I remember Life and Bones doing it, and I'm sure others have too. Have got the German film but haven't got found to watching it yet - but I know it's highly regarded.

Watched a film called Excision this morning. In two words "very strange".

Watched "End of Watch". It is indeed a very good film.

Started watching Compliance but apart from Dreama Walker being quite hot and naked, it's just totally stupid and completely unbelievable.

Definitely. I would never pay £6 a month for the UK content on Netflix, but change the DNS server to access the US content and it's incredible how much more there is. Last year I managed to watch every episode of Frasier and tons of Law & Order: SVU. Now I'm working through Cheers. Brilliant comedies (not L&O obviously!).  ;D

Yup, it's excellent. Had to restart my router because it was buffering like mental but it's all running smoothly now. I'm tempted to keep my subscription going because I like the fact that it suggests films to watch based on what you've been watching before, there's a load of films I've never heard of that have been excellent and I wouldn't have seen them otherwise. :D

Yeah, only about 10 years behind there harv.. amazon have been doing "Your recommendations" for donkeys years based on what you've watched or rated... I guess if you had actually purchased instead of downloaded, you'd of known that ;)  ;D

Amazon did my head in when someone linked me to some scary clown pic on there (I'm scared of clowns), and for months afterward the site kept recommending loads of stuff clown-related.
(To be fair, you can probably remove stuff from your history or likes, but who can be arsed with that.)

I'm watching Limitless at the mo. Saw it when it was at the cinema I think, either that or I downloaded it years ago. It's a great film about a guy who bumps into his ex-wife's brother who's a drug dealer and gives him a pill that boosts his brain power. We only use 20% of our brain and this pill lets you use the other 80%. ;D

Definitely worth watching 8)

Django Unchained.

This is a screener, catch it while it's hot.
This is a good Tarantino effort, but a bit of an arse nipper at 2hr 45min.

Great show. You didn't see it years ago in the cinema as it is fairly recent

Limitless was pretty good. Would go watch it if they made a sequel.

Watched a thriller called Das Leben der Anderen last night (The Lives of Others). About a guy working for the secret police in 1984 East Germany. Started off slowly but the second hour was gripping. Definitely worth a watch. 8/10
