Gbg film festival then it is..

So far I've managed to avoid the film festival, but just as I got dropped off home from work due to swollon glands and a basic feel like crap attitide the phone rang and an invitation to hang out by T* couldn't be resisted.
Funnily enough my suggestion when discussing watching a film ended with "Rocky Balboa"... This was jeered at and instead a fantastic move into the 30 years jubelium film festival shall begin, hopefully this will not start with a film made with a budget of 20 pence and using the original language of Albanian,the story line based around a sheep farmer who decides to move off the hillside to downtown trailer parksville.
But who knows, one has to experience such things before one can stand up and proudly shout "that was crap"...
Ok ok, narrow minded..I just remember channel 4's attempts in the 80's to show such films. Of course we used to watch every film that had a small red triangle in the right hand corner as it garanteed soft porn, a quick flash of beaver back then was enough to get us and the gang watching a 3 hour movie promising nothing , in a foreign language from an outer mongolian state except for something undressing in an eskimo outfit revealing something that resembled the bush that spoke to Moses..
Anyway, the red triangles have since long disappeared and all I can hope is that the eskimos wont appear this evening..

update to follow

please note: no update, blown out due to glands becoming larger than savannas**
