The Gaffer

Top work.

There will come a day when the powers that be wish to inject the UKFF with a lethal dose of poison and those forum killing bastards will return.

Here was my artistic endeavour in the old thread :

From Facebook :

Loved a poster on a Waterstones in Ealing: "We are staying open, if you steal our books, at least you will learn something".

Edit : Please someone say they saw that advert for sofas on channel 847. That was the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Featuring Chris Masters!

JBL now has a YouTube.

Hopefully he will use it regularly and talk about the business. I'd love to follow what he has to say. Always entertaining.

Judging by the comments UKFF is far from the only place he has paid a visit.

I've notived some people are mirroring (sp?) their videos, any reason for that?

I'd assume it's a method to bypass some sort of visual identification systems copyright police have going on.

They should really be part of the on screen package. Calling it a faction might be a bit much but I'd kill for Stanford and dad to come out with him.

Stanford is starting to steal the show. If they ever have the good sense to put Zach on Raw full time he shouldn't do it without Scott by his side cheering him on.

Some channel goodness :

Nitro 95-96.

WCW PPV 95-96

The best DailyMotion channel for WWE going. Almost 2,000 videos of Raw, SmackDown, Heat, Shotgun Saturday Night etc all playlisted in order.

Behind the scenes of the WWE.

Nice little EPK from around the WrestleMania 25 time that has some brief footage of a booking meeting in it. Trips, Michael Hayes and the rest of the gang are all there sitting around looking like they are waiting for Bond to come in and foil their plans.

Esteban Reyes [Weeds].

Alberto Del Rio.

Anyone been keeping up with Shameless USA? I've been really enjoying the show as it's got a cast of genuinely brilliant actors and it's really well scripted. Very enjoyable indeed, and I'm now convinced by William H Macy as Frank.

It's far better than it's UK counterpart this year which has become a revolving door of pointless weekly tragedies.

I'm almost convinced they are doing it on purpose and turning it into a kitch B show.

EDIT : Beaten to it .

I traded the Xbox for a Playstation recently and got to work on simultaneously playing the Resistance series and Killzone 2. The former of which are two of the most boring first person shooters I have ever encountered. Neither game broke any sort of mould but they scored relatively high and all I'm seeing is a bog standard, ugly, overly long downright uninteresting duo of games. The best thing going is a few really cool weapons but I find very little incentive to keep playing. Killzone 2 fared much better with me. I was expecting a similar bog standard shooter albeit much sexier but the jaw dropping graphics themselves seem to do wonders for the gameplay too. The highly atmospheric, somewhat steampunky Helghast shanty town design of the whole thing, just how big and lifelike the Helghast themselves seem compared to other fodder that gets thrown at you in most games and how satisfying it is to shoot them all makes for a highly entertaining FPS package I'll probably never, ever play through again.

Also having a second whirl on Dead Rising 2 and it's really a game that's absoloutely better the second time around. You are already levelled up good and know the areas so you can get right to work on the psycopaths, the story or whatever. Amazingly fun game that builds on the first in every way you would expect a sequel to. I think they missed the boat on a few of the psycopaths though. The intro and death cutscenes follow a formula that gets weary after awhile and a few more pattern based bosses would have been nice. The vast majority of them can be beat easily by mixing a few painkillers, getting your A-Team on in the maintenence rooms, and just whacking the fuck out of them.

I have Dragon Age : Origins lined up next though I have been warned that it is a bit ... boring.

Zombieland

Got this out on Blu Ray, and it entirely exceeded my expectations. A really funny, really exciting and stylish film. Woody Harrelson is particularly good, I thought, plus there's a hot emo looking girl to mope over. There's also a fantastic cameo by a much loved Hollywood star that I had no idea about, which was a nice treat. No idea if there'll be a sequel.

 

From Paris With Love

Shite.

JLM EDIT!: The secrecy of the Zombieland cameo is sacred and makes the film a whole lot more enjoyable if you don't know about it, so I've removed it. You didn't break any spoiler rules or nothin', but it might save you some grief from people who haven't seen it.

It's a class film and that Emma Stone is a lasher alright. Decent soundtrack too.

Rounded up a few stray cattle this weekend that I didn't get the chance to watch yet. Just going to give some brief points :

The Damned United : I assumed this one was a football hooligan epic given it's title but instead it's a rather nice snapshot of the life of manager Brian Clough and his assistant coach - the bloke that plays Scabbers the rat in Harry Potter. Colm Meaney is in it too. He has a habit of just turning up like that. It's an entertaining way to pass two hours.

8MM : I loved it. It got panned of course but I found it hugely entertaining. Nicholas Cage plays Nicholas Cage trying to track down the makers of a snuff movie with the help of a flamboyant, lederhosen wearing Joaquin 'I don't know if I spelt his name right' Phoenix who - no stranger to having a riddiculous name - plays the porn store clerk Max California. There's something about Nicholas Cage's wife and child in it too, and something about a dead girl, but the main thing is that Phoenix helps Cage find a snuff movie production company.

One brilliant scene in particular sees the intrepid duo blend in with the L.A. underworld for a drawn out ten minute romp through an underground illegal porn supermarket in someones basement. Imagine the bar from Dusk Till Dawn having an S&M night and you're close enough.

Funny People : This is the one where Judd Apatow dissapears up his own arsehole. That trusty, loveable Seth Rogan goes with him of course. Two and a half hours for a 'this is my serious comedy movie' disaster that is very rarely laugh out loud funny [apart from the scene where a 'dying' Adam Sandler and Rogan make fun of Sandler's doctor, the actual guy who plays Carl from Die Hard, because he looks like someone from Die Hard - 'I just keep getting the feeling that you're going to be torturing James Bond after this!']

It's overlong and the story looses all meaning about an hour in when you find out that Adam Sandler's character is no longer dying. So you get a decent hours movie, then another 90 minute generic Apatow movie about getting the girl, dick jokes and suchlike. Apatow has this knack for covering up the fact that most of his scripts are not all that funny by never having punchlines that amount to nothing. No punchlines, just a constant stream of not really that funny dialogue that's read out endlessly by his casts as if they were normal everyday conversations. It usually amounts to Seth Rogan cut aways as he stands between two people saying 'No, don't do that to his balls!' or 'No, not the mountain lion! What are you sick?'

The Book Of Eli : Denzel Washington tries to keep the last remaining copy of the King James Bible from Gary Oldman who wants it for his own evil purposes. Honestly. I found it fun enough though it's not going to blow anyones mind or be either mans best movie. It's got a nice, washed out, overly orange and brown visual style that you will find either incredibly striking or incredibly annoying. The script was penned by newcomer Gary Whitta who is a video game journalist and this one has 'written by a videogamer' all over it. More than once I felt like I was back in Fallout 3.

Backyard wrestling at it's best!

 

bunch of goths i suppose they need a hobbie like everyone else better that then self harming i suppose even thou backyarding could be considered as self harming maybe they will break each others neck and then they can learn a life lesson
