Yes, it'll be worth watching just in case there are any gems. But why do they have to have Ross hosting it? Remember what a pig's ear he made of the Dad's Army...
Regarding Ross, no topic - however interesting - could compensate for letting that salivating, slack-minded, bloated incarnation of 'cheeky chappy' misogyny...
Ouch! Personally I think he does a very good job hosting Film 200x. I was appalled when he took over from Barry Norman purely because of his reputation but...
I find Ross very bland on Film 200x. He is rather like a polite sixth former trying to impress the grown ups. For me he rarely says anything particularly...
I'll second that. Mark Kermode isn't afraid to tell people when he doesn't like their work. He tells them to their face but in a polite way so that they...
I think that was my point, his chat show persona is not what he brings to his film show. A fawning interview is not the same as an objective film review and I...
Ross's interviewing style on Film 20XX leaves a lot to be desired, being too much chortling and too often about whether he looks handsome or sexy enough to be...

I can't really comment authoritatively - because I don't usually watch him on Film 20xx. I saw the first few when he took over but I didn't like his style so I...
Sadly, if you want to sell anything (Lean, PnP etc etc ) to the 'under 30s' generation it seems you have to have presenter with 'street cred' and attitude,...
Maybe his style has changed since the first few, as when he is reviewing these days he is dressed soberly in a dark suit and (usually) sitting at a desk and he...

Although I would prefer Mark Commode as a film programme presenter in preference to J Ross, I do find the former rather creepy (well, his fave films of all...
Young Dr Kermode is often in the BFI library, doin' his homework - and sometimes he likes films which aren't horror films. Though - yes - mainly - its Texas...
This was discussed on the today programme this morning; I was unable to catch what was actually being given him by Gordon Brown. Being done, I understand, in...

Bad news in Palo Alto -- as if not enough bad news existed. The Stanford Theatre had a fire yesterday evening. The projector had a problem, apparently, and...
That sounds a bit nasty. I'm glad that there wasn't too much damage done and that everybody got out safely. That nitrate film is dangerous stuff. Steve...

Cover Girl (1944) with Gene Kelly & Rita Hayworth. They really set the screen alight :) It seems that it wasn't so much the fire as the water used to put it ...
Surely Flames of Passion, extracted from Brief Encounter. ... [...]...

Especially pointless as water doesn't put out nitrate fires - nothing does, as burning nitrate film produces oxygen to refeed the flames....they would burn in...
