BBC Film Programme

This programme has always been bollocks.

Maybe Joan Bakewell was good.

Who hell Iain Johnstone?

no, hang on, write in vote for Michael Parkinson (covering for Bazza) reviewing Flesh and Blood

This programme has always been bollocks.

Winkelman wasn't even as bad as that slavering Lads Film nerd they let on with her

The Guardian stated, through her recent hosting of Sky Television's coverage of The Oscars, Winkleman had "proved both a passionate and engaging advocate of cinema", while her husband Kris Thykier is a film producer with credits on several mainstream releases.[17]

2009 Harry Brown (producer)

2007 Stardust (executive producer)

git

several mainstream releases

that jaws segment is pretty cool actually

(speaking of segments, spielberg gesticulating with a piece of tangerine is funny)

yeah i enjoyed it enough to vote for that dude

It's an honour to follow on from the brilliant Jonathan Ross.

thoughts on film critic jonathan "rossy" ross, author of The Incredibly Strange Film book

he makes me want to stop liking things i like because of the way he likes them

lol well put

http://www.pickleodeon.co.uk/

gah /url whatevs

Ross made me look back on Norman with a degree of favour even tho "objectively" Ross was probably a better reviewer/had better taste

http://www.theculinaryguide.co.uk/news/2010/0710/2807/pickled-onions-from-film-critic-norman-taste-test-review/pickled-onions-from-film-critic-norman-taste-test-review-400.jpg

always found this product fascinating. Going to the movies? Why not bring along a jar of pickled onions?

xp yeah, I've come to realise how little I value "taste" in a critic

Johnstone took over from Bazza Norman for a year or two (followed by parky? can't quite remember the chronology). He was the daily telegraph to bazza's daily mail iirc - but no better a critic, really. Johnstone was pally w/ John Cleese for a while and co-wrote Fierce Creatures

yeah i cd "read" Norman in that even if he slated a film i'd know whether i'd want to see it or not, whereas with Ross i cdn't really tell if i'd like something just from his opinion

winkelman is part of that vaughan set, wossy's wife is in on it too iirc, they were responsible for some ok stuff tbh but then harry potter got haunted dear god what shite

winkelman is part of that vaughan set,

is this a ballard thing

not a ballard, more of a polka punctuated by audience members shooting themselves in the throat

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Russell Harty did it for a time when Norman was away in the 80s. unless i dreamed this.

Winkleman isn't so bad..

in war criminal terms or in competent reviewer of movies terms?

Fair q

Voted Gavin Millarrrrr

I'm still relieved Kermode didn't get the gig.

Winkleman isn't so bad..

in terms of "unpretentious front-person" terms

It's still a movie show, in ways that "Top Gear" and "A Question of Sport" aren't as much about cars/sport as they used to be.

what am i missing in winkleman's cv / family situation that explains "Residence Connaught Square"

oh the mum i guess

Her stepfather is Sir Nicholas Lloyd, former editor of the Daily Express

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The theme tune to this is so comforting.
