disclaimer, I normally try and ignore the goings on, of people described as 'Celebrities', this one, however crosses a line, not a line of 'Celebrity' behaviour, but a line of adult, human behaviour. Just as Beck began his acceptance speech, West stormed the stage and gestured that he was about to begin declaring Beyoncé's album "the best of all time" and deserving of the award again, as he did (seriously) to Taylor Swift five years ago. Luckily for Beck, the headline-grabbing moment has shot Morning Phase up Amazon's albums chart, with sales rising by a massive 1342 per cent. Swift kissed and made up with West backstage at the 2015 ceremony, where he continued to rant about the Grammys "not respecting artistry" and being "disrespectful to inspiration"." I was just so excited he was coming up," Beck told US magazine after the incident. "He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody. How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?" Source and comment from someone who is not me: Shirley Manson Musician/Band · 259,680 Likes · 23 hrs · Dear Kanye West It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry. You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK. You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt. In attempting to reduce the importance of one great talent over another, you make a mockery of all musicians and music from every genre, including your own. Grow up and stop throwing your toys around. You are making yourself look like a complete twat. Ps.I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own. --- Whilst am all for freedom of speech, I am also for summary execution when it is deserved, like for little Mr West,

apparently, this is not a joke, but I think it is Members of North Korea's Ministry of the People's Armed Forces (MPAF) dance during a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the regular revolutionary armed forces of Korea, at an undisclosed location in Pyongyang in this undated photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

good ? or ?

Pride 2014 - Set in Thatcher's England, storytelling of true events, gay rights and the Coal miners, quite moving. Not a movie for Homophobes. Some scenes of men kissing, fortunately done in a tasteful way, so I didn't self destruct in an implosion of righteous bigotry. Well worth a watch. Recommended.

What We Do in the Shadows 2014 - A film from NZ, Vampire comedy, pitched I think at the 20 somethings, but some quite good laughs, worth a watch.
-
Not strictly a movie I have watched, as it hasn't been made yet, but I feel a comment coming on... Photos show Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs, Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak in upcoming film I will be interested to see if Seth Rogen can shake his "Pot Head, Dick Head" persona that he brings to all his movie roles. Or conversely, how Steve Wozniak will feel being portrayed as a "Pot Head, Dick Head".

Redirected 2014 - Entertaining romp through Lithuania, by a group of idiots who've fallen foul of Vinnie Jones and his gang. Lots of pork, violence, nudity, guns and some quite good humour. If Lithuania is anything like it's portrayed in the movie, it could be worth a road trip. 1/2 in English 1/2 in Lithuanian, my movie had no subtitles, but this may be intentional, the Lithuanian dialogue was easy to guess given the situational comedy. Proudly made by Lithuanians - Well worth a watch.

Interstellar 2014 - Very good, despite liberties being taken with the science, well worth a watch Murder on the Orient Express 1974 - 1st time I've seen this, deservedly a Classic, worth a watch Lawless 2012 - Very good - would watch again after a few months, well worth a watch

Why are you leaving LOS Stick?

Good article
-
Hobbit Five Armies - satisfying, if a little pedestrian conclusion to the Hobbit trilogy and a link to the first Lord of the Rings movie. I think that after a year or two, the whole six movies could make a day or a weekend's viewing, in the middle of a rainy winter.

Very refreshing, and again raises the question, "Why would these folks want to go to a country full of infidels, public women and alcohol etc. Then try and convert it into a barren, rock strewn sandpit like they came from?" Wouldn't it: a/ be easier to stay home? b/ be a sin to leave the wonderful society they've built and expose themselves to western hedonism? On the other hand, good that they have a right to peacefully protest without being lynched. And good that the Aussies gave them 'what for'. BTW "Where are the Women?" is a phrase we all should remember if we encounter like situations. And calling them ZZtop is unwarranted, it's an insult to American Rock and the god of American Rock, Arthur Brown who could realistically unleash Fire on events like this.

The Little Death 2014 - 'stryne film - several interwoven stories - subject matter is sexual deviancies, if deviancies is not too strong a word. I thought this very good, made me laugh out loud several times. Not hollywood humour though, better. Well worth a watch, I recommend.

Excellent production values, but despite a good try, it really is bunch of arty actors trying to portray the reality of war. I would wager that some on this board could give us a 15 minute rundown on reality in conflict. But then it wouldn't be suitable for "Gosh Golly Big Box Office"! - worth a watch if only to see how tanks fight in wars

Not dead yet...

" people would finally realise what Thaksin was up to" Not that numerous 'Farangs', on boards such as this and in just about all the media, didn't warn them or anything...

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind 2002 - quite good, worth a watch Green Zone - 'merica in Iraq, Baghdad - fist pumping action with guns - oh, and it has a plot
-
John Oliver vs Stephen Hawking

A Walk Among the Tombstones 2014 - mentioned previously I think, Liam Neeson, good movie, worth a watch. The Russia House 1990 - Sean Connery, Michelle Pfeiffer, engaging cold war spy story, romance, worth a watch.
-
Hickey and Boggs 1972 - Bill Cosby, Robert Culp, not bad, as previously mentioned - worth a watch. I Origins 2014 - started like a bunch of young girly film students would make a movie, got better, then quite good, then tailed off. Worth a watch if you ever need to have justification to give the director a slap. Pineapple Express 2008 - James Franco and Seth Rogen - pot heads - worth a watch.
