  1. With Mels i was worried they were introducing a future companion, an annoying one at that. Rory knocking out nazi's is up there with my favourite Dr Who moments. I like Amy but without the Rory dynamic im not sure i'd like her half as much.

  2. I watched Limitless the other night and found myself as equally pleased with the film as i was disappointed. I have this annoying habit of judging films based on what they could have been compared to what they were. Whilst the film was great fun and i'd have enjoyed it a lot more had i not built my expectations up. I just felt there were missed opportunities with the plot execution and especially so with De Niro's character. Still taken for what it is it was definitely worth the watch.

     

    In Bruges and Harry Brown were the other two films i've seen lately and even though i liked In Bruges the first time i watched it a couple of years ago I didn't really realise how good Colin Farrell's acting is in that film. Yeah, everyone knows it's extremely quotable but it kind of made me think that Farrell has prety much wasted a lot of his career on being the cool good looking guy when he pulls off unhinged simpleton so well. I got Harry Brown on Friday and after all thats happened since it's relevance is uncanny. It's possibly Caine's most interesting role and he owns the film but you have to give Plan B/Ben Drew his due, he makes a terrific and realistic bad guy.

     

    Going to watch Super 8 tonight and expecting it to be The Goonies meets Monster Squad meets E.T mixed together in a big Spielbergian pot and served on a plate of childhood reminiscence, im not going to be disappointed right?

  3. McConaughey is up there with J.T on the smoothness level. Many may disagree but i see McConaughey becoming a bigger player in Hollywood.

     

    Haven't people been tipping him for bigger things for years though? Unless he reveals some kind of hidden Ben Affleck skill at making films I don't see him getting any bigger than he is. He does have the ability of making trashy films a little bit better though so thats something.

  4. Just seen Xmen: First Class. Really is a film of 2 halfs. First half, as mentioned, is like a Bond film and is fantastic. As soon as it starts falling into your typical 'get to the action' second half it loses its way a little. I think they made the best of the characters they could introduce while keeping within the timeline of the other films. Nicholas Hoult wasn't big enough to play Beast though. 60s feel of the film was very well done

     

    Yeah i said to my mate that it was X-Men 2 ggod in the first half and X-Men 3 average-poor in the second half. Beast looked shit compared to X3 as well. Also the

  5. That episode didn't do much for me, i think that changing the portals from water to shiney stuff half way through took something away from the episode plus i hate the 'everybody dies then comes back' endings that are reminiscent of RTD. Although not every body 'came back' so to speak and it was pretty bleak you just know some where down the line we'll get pirates in space.

    Surely expanding and explaining it was anything with a reflection created a bigger sense of threat and panic, because once it was determined that simply avoiding water wasn't enough then the characters below deck were still in danger. Plus it opened the way for the Captain's greed and love of treasure to result in the implied death of his son which was critical in showing him the error of his ways and allowed him to get his priorities right. In the overall scheme of things it was an unimportant episode so that lessens the blow of it being a everybody dies but comes back at the end episode.

     

    I'm really enjoying the new series and digging Smith. There just seems to be a lot more meaning and deepness to the episodes; previously this episode could well have been a jolly pirate romp with talking parrots and Rory getting drunk on grog.

     

    I just thought the idea of being stuck at sea with water being your biggest weakness was a bit more menacing than anything with a reflection. All those points are correct and it did structure the episode nicely and in previous years this would have been a massive camp fest.

     

    Smith has been great and theres so much that shouldn't work but does. He has been helped a lot by having the best companion since the return though and much better writing than Tennant got.

  7. Definitely Westworld, because it's not really a western so I can fool her with it. I'm looking for more offbeat stuff which is why I thought of High Plains Drifter. Tears Of The Black Tiger is bonkers too, she'll probably like that.

     

    You could also try Back to the Future 3 if you wanna trick her in to liking westerns.

  8. The Twickenham Streaker Erica Roe

    Just look at those. And the fag in her mouth puts a couple more points on her score.

     

    Yeah, I remember seeing footage of her from back then, broadcast in the early 90s - I was about 13 back then.

     

    What's the word for when you're effectively traumatised, but in a positive, not negative, way?

     

    I might be imagining this but im sure she was on the Frank Skinner chat show and she had visibly hairy pits. So that would make two people she's traumatized.

  9. Anyone can have kids, have you seen Jeremy Kyle sunshine? I'm also worked as a DOORMAN in the Wrexham/Merseyside Area off and on for the past 5 years, in fact 3 years ago it was my major source of income. It doesan't make it you any good at anything. Just means you didn't mind paying through your arse for your SIA. Engineer? Well done sir, it's amazing how they change the job title for binmen and people these days.

    Completely OT but where did u work as a doorman in Wrexham?
  10. That's true to a point (I know how rebounding to be with someone can really make things go the wrong way, which is why I'm in no rush to be with someone), but by the same token, when you ARE emotional it's hard to really think straight to begin with. Add to that the added emotional feelings you'd get from being pregnant (Well, hopefully not you, or you have some explaining to do in regards to your name!), and things happen that you wouldn't normally do.Sometimes things happen when you don't plan for it, and if the gal abstains until after the baby, when IS a good time to find someone? (and what's more, are you therefore saying she should outright turn down someone she's liked for a while PURELY on the fact she's pregnant?) Once she's had the kid, would it not be irresponsible to dump the kid with friends/family to go on the pull? So then she should wait until the kid doesn't need her around often to feed/change it. So really we'd say the next chance she'd have then is when the kids go to school, it's a bit bad if she dumps the kid off regularly with family during the week, and even if she does find someone, it's not like they can really go back to hers now, there's likely to be a kid there.If the woman wants to be with a guy, let her, it only becomes an issue when she's just split up with someone and is immediately going out making a deliberate attempt at looking for someone personally, but quite often things will happen and you'll find someone you get on with, and want to see where things go. Are you seriously suggesting she turns down a chance of being with someone who might be good for her purely on the basis of somebody elses views?

    No if its her view that the best thing for her and her baby is to jump into another relationship within a matter of months of being in a relationship with somebody who they expected to be with forever then she should do that. It is however my view that the best thing to do would be wait untill the baby is born and they've settled down and the emotions are a bit more stable, if that other person is still around and they feel the same then great go for it, if not then get back out there its not like single mothers are social pariahs these days.
  11. I read what you said TBP, and I merely said that you're entitled to your own views on it, but don't have a go at others who don't feel the same way.And Mr Danger, you're right, girls are in a more emotional state, but by the same token, does that not work both ways? A guy and her split up and the woman gets more emotional over it than normal and at that moment in time might not be thinking about hooking up with someone.On the flip side, that guy she's always liked but done nothing about because she was taken (and he's liked her but she was taken), well, if he starts being there for her more, as a friend initially, and things happen. Well surely her emotional state would mean she might go further than she would do normally at that point because she's looking for comfort etc.

    I'd say dont let emotions over rule common sense, if you find yourself feeling that way why not try telling yourself, hey im really emotional i should just be alone for a while until the big picture is a little clearer. Works for men as well and all people, if you come out of a serious relationship don't rebound straight in to another one pregnant or not.
  12. It's a completely valid point though, if a woman is planning a life with somebody and carrying his child then one day realizes things aren't going to work out then surely given the fact she's in an even more emotional state than the average woman the last thing she should be thinking about is another relationship until well after the baby has arrived. Ok im sure it would be hard abstaining for that long but it wouldn't be impossible. I wouldn't use the word slut though as its not a particularly nice word and i'd just see it as the women having a different view on the matter to me which she has every right to because at the end of the day it's her choice and not mine.

  13. If it wasn't for pregnant sluts we wouldn't have awesome pornos. Anyway the real burning issue here is, is it true the preggo birds love it in the shitter? Apologies if i've already asked this before its just that pregnant women and bum sex is an interest of mine.

  14. Fight Club is awesome, its one of the greatest dick flick's ever. If you had to explain what being a man in the 21st century is like through the medium of film then you would show them this film. Zodiac is a well made based on a true story film, people profiling the career of David Fincher will not write to much about the effect this had on it. Also, thanks for clearing up what 'every man' means. Oh and i don't care what you all say, every time i've seen Kermode he has come across as a film snob pleasing cock muncher. Whats everybody's opinion on Jonathon Ross as a film reviewer, i rarely agree with his opinion but i appreciate that what he says does genuinely come across as his own opinion and not something he thinks he should say in order to gain any sort of cred with other reviewers unlike his brother who soon changed his tune when he started getting ripped in Empire magazine.

  15. Just watching the film review part of Newsnight and boy oh boy, is there anything worse than snobby poncey film reviewers. I think i'd value Paul Ross' reviews higher than these hacks. I also hate that tool who does the reviews on The Culture Show. Anybody else share my hatred for these film snobs, go review some art house if you want to deconstruct a film don't rip Hollywood bockbusters apart for being erm blockbustery.

  16. Iron ManReally enjoyed it, yes I'm a superhero film fan, but this was a pretty good version, a few bad points like focusing on one aspect of the suit a bit much and leaving out the rest of it, but that's a really small thing. Fun enough, nothing earth shattering but we've had some poor Hero movies recently so this was a step in the right direction. Hopefully Hancock will keep it moving.

    I've noticed they're advertising this as an action film in this country where as all the other trailors i've seen are billing it as more a full on comedy. Whats up wid dat?
  17. Wild Hogs its definately something that anyone could enjoy.

    Murtz, you must be the most easily impressed film watcher in the history of the world.
    For me.. thats surely a good thing... right??
    In the same way that a cardboard box might keep a small child occupied for hours on end even though they have loads of cool toys to choose from. Just to be clear I dont keep small children in cardboard boxes.
  18. How accurate are due dates? I dont think i know anybody whose kids came when they were meant to it seems pointless giving an exact date as the little shits pop out whenever they feel like it, bloody youth of today, they got no concept of punctuality.

  19. Cos its a dudes name I guess

    I know a few girls called Jamie, and they are of various ages (no jokes about that ya cunts :p )so its not down to a certain generation in regards to that, think its one of those names that either sex can get away with
    I think it was an island thing. No out of the ordinary names at all when i was little. They were all traditional english names. I remember another girl who moved to the island and her name was Keiley and she was pointed and laughed at too.I remember my nan being in shock and wouldnt shut up about a new boy whos name was Mohamed. Christ, you'd have thought hell had frozen over the way my nan went on.
    I think u just found a better name than Dylan there, Mohamed Christ and if its a girls Mohamed Christina.
