What I love is that past Doctors are treated like former Presidents of the United States. Like how former presidents get daily briefings from the Secret Service and the Military, you just know that before anyone else is told, someone is on the phone to Sylvester McCoy to get him in the loop first.

Anyway, it's got to be someone different from Tennant. Just like every other Doctor in the past, they have to be different from their predecessor for it to work. Look at the difference between Davision and both Bakers, and Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee. So my hope would be for an older guy.

I've got to ask...The Dark Knight is currently sitting at #1 in the imdb Top 250 with 26,000 votes.So it's considered to be the best film of all time according to that website.The question is - is it really that good? Or are people voting for it because the Lead Supporting Actor is now dead?

Just watched Witness for the Prosecution which is a 1950s black and white legal drama based on an Agatha Christie book I believe. It starred Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich.

I'm a big fan of any film that has a good plot and don't automatically discount older films like alot of people do. It's well worth watching with a nice surprise along the way, and Charles Laughton acts brilliantly.

Should anyone suggest that you watch Let's Go To Prison, starring Will Arnett (of Arrested Development fame) don't.

A load of shite.

I watched the original Mutiny on the Bounty this morning.

A pretty enjoyable film with some good performances. It's just a shame that they cast an American in one of the lead roles because it just didn't ring true.

I'd give it 3.5/5.

The debut of Michael Wallstreet and his fantastic theme tune. Does anyone have this theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfWA1UUn1p8

Also, a fantastic promo i'll always rememeber with the wonderfully well spoken Commendant of the Truth Commission. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsCc3CfE5bg&NR=1

The same applies for Family Guy, though the type of humour shown in the example above is probably the ones type of humour I don't like.

Is that directed at the Jackass vid? I was being sarcastic, because the vid has a bunch of retard kids skatin into a bush and diving into tress.

Arrested Development has so many funny scenes it's almost impossible to pick a favourite (though you can bet it involves Gob).

The same applies for Family Guy, though the type of humour shown in the example above is probably the ones type of humour I don't like.

In any case, here's my contribution to the thread...

The Complete Going For Gold Theme - used only once back in 1987. Fantastic.

Austin's promos from that time were gold - especially his ones with Angle and Vince.My favourite could be the one where Torrie Wilson debuts and Austin and Angle invite themselves on a date with Vince and Torriw. Quality stuff.I also need to see the Head Cheese stuff again. The Head Cheese Breakup Poem was class.

Mr Perfect & The Genius live on Regis, complete with much innuendo about what the Genius 'does' for Mr P.

What do you mean by 'intelligent humour'? Because a lot of people think Frasier is the pinnacle of intelligent humour, but it's no more than puns and wordplay from a couple of guys talking posh. (Don't get me wrong, I do really like the show)I, personally, enjoy a lot of intricate refrence-based humour, which is why I find Arrested Development to be good intelligent comedy.

I went to see The History Boys yesterday which was brilliant. First class.Fact is though - and I say this without trying to wind anyone up - it's not for everyone. People who aren't the best educated shall we say might find this hard to follow. If you look at imdb it has comments from people 'sayn dat da film iz2posh'. Infact two people walked out of the film half way through.But it was excellent. Very intelligent humour.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but all I can say is Fantastic.Do you think this'll catch on?

Absoultely amazing, 1 and 2, its hard to decide which I prefer

Its got to be 2 all the way. Rebecca Another Hitchcock classic I recently got round to watch, and for fans of Hitchcock fans this is something you will defenitley like, even if it is a different story to what he is famous for directing. The story follows the romance of a young lady who is romanced by the wealthy Maxi Dewinter. They marry quickly, and move to his big mansion in the country, where the young Mrs. Dewinter is haunted by the new social class and the presence of the former Mrs. Dewinter, Rebecca.This film is a romantic thriller, with the second half of the film dealing out twist and turns like its an episode of Lost, thus ensuring the viewers attention is controlled from the opening sequence to the revealing conclusion. Laurence Oliver is amazing, and is only shadowed by the beautiful and brillant Joan Fontane who steal the main leading roles. Everything from the use of shadows to the beautiful scenery is manipulated by Hitchcock throughout, to create a thrilling and chilling film.The film's strong undertones of class inequality and themes of loyalty are perfectly balanced by the endurance of the characters and the plot.This is easily one of his strongest films and possibly his most accepted by lovers of all genres of films. Even your nan who watches Coronation Street and enjoys rubbish Channel 5 afternoon films will like this (although she probably saw it at the cinema!).

"The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada"I remember trying to see this at the Cineworld on Renfrew Street and the lady at the counter saying that they cut it's run early, in that particular establishment, and replaced it. It only lasted from Friday until the following Tuesday. :(I was cross.

The three most recent films i've seen are

X-Men 3, which I thought was good. Without ruining it for those who haven't seen it, I was shocked by how small a part one of the characters had, though that wasn't neccessarily a bad thing. A good film overall, but I can't believe I missed a post-credits scene. What happened?

The Night of the Hunter, which is considered a classic but in my opinion isn't. It starts off really well with the building up of how creepy the character played by Robert Mitchum was and how he planned to get the money, but the last half hour (which has been the killer of so many potentially great films) was poor. All of a sudden the two kids end up with an old woman who's looking after other kids and suddenly after about an hour of build up, it's turns on its head completly. Mitchum's character was also dealt with FAR too easily. He was a far more effective villain in the original Cape Fear

United 93. A great film. By no means a film that you get the boys over to watch but one I feel you have to see at least once. Assuming it's for the most part a genuine reconstruction, it was amazing to see how ill prepared the US was for something like this and how they initially didn't take it seriously. It was interesting for me to see as well because I happened to be flying to New York while all this was going on and I can now put a name to the bastard responsible for directing our flight to the back of beyond in St. Johns Newfoundland.

Also, without a doubt the ending had great impact (no pun intended). It's horrible to think that's how anyone died.

Has anyone seen Thank You For Not Smoking? It gets 8.1 on imdb which is usually a sign of quality (though Night of the Hunter got 8.2 which kinda defeats my arguement).

I'm still mainly playing Tom Clancy: GRAW for the 360 at the moment. I got the new levels off Live and they are all quite good. It should keep things interesting.Also raided the bargain bucket the other day and for

I got Sensible Soccer today but I can't say i'm too convinced by it. It can be quite difficult to actually see where about the ball is sometimes and really it's a bit basic. I know that's the 'point' of sensible soccer but it's kinda showing how times change.

That's a terrible shame. Having read his comments throughout his illness, he was a brave guy.RIP Quake.

I notice AndyW has a fantastic sig video of Curt Hennig Perfectplexing the Big Show in WCW.Anyone got a proper videoclip with audio of this, and did this geta) Alot of attention at the time because it looks quite frankly incredibleb) Did it pin him?I remember he did it to the Show on Raw when he was back in 2002 and it was just brushed over and the Big Show immediatly kicked out. What is the point of that?

A few questions...1) Why is it that some Japanese names are spelt in English font (i.e. SUWA, Daio QUALLT, CIMA etc)2) In Japanese commentary, what does the sound 'Nehhhhh' mean when the commentators agree on something. Is it just a sound or does it mean Yes.3) What is with the 'Billy Graham Dead' (Gorilla Monsoon) avatar that a few people have. I can't read the text in it, so is it an article that Monsoon wrote claiming the Superstar was actually dead, ala The Ultimate Warrior being bitten by a shark and killed.

My friends and I have started up a film night on wednesdays where we take it in turns to present a film to the group.

This week it was my turn and I picked All About Eve. It's an absolutely brilliant film from 1950 starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. Coming in at number 68 in the imdb top 250, this film is a classic, and for those of us who are enjoying the Mickie James/Trish Stratus angle on Raw, this film is clearly the basis for that and similar angles.

As one of my mates said, "It's the type of film that it wouldn't occur to me to watch, but i'm really glad I did". I would recommend it to all.

5/5

This week i have been to see

Goodnight and Goodluck, This film was good but was too short for the type of film it was. Films based on historical events tend to last a wee while because if its worth making a film about there's usually some substance to the story. As it is, it's just over in a flash which means i can't give it more than 6/10

Lucky Number Slevin. I enjoyed this, but if its supposed to be a mystery, then it fails since its obvious who Slevin is from about 5 minutes in. Still, it was fun. 7/10

Other than that i've watched...

Double Indemnity. A classic film. Well worthy of its place in the imdb top 250. And another great Billy Wilder movie at that. Terrific storytelling and some great acting too. I'd give it 8.5/10

And as far as TV series goes, i've been watching the boxed set of

The House of Cards Trilogy. This is an absolutely brilliant TV series. Ian Richardson plays Tory Chief Whip Francis Urquhuart, who was been spurned by the new PM following Thatchers retirement. Urquhuart is told he is best remaining as Chief Whip, but he believes he is worth more than that, and sets about tarnishing the reputation of the PM so he will step down. Witty, dramatic and expert storytelling in this BBC drama from 1990. Urquhuart speaks directly to the viewer is Lovejoy-esque asides that succeed in making the viewer feel like a co-conspirator. I couldn't recommend this enough. 10/10

I was reminded of an incident i've always wanted to see yesterday on Wrestlecrap. It's a match in WCW on Nitro between DDP and the Machine where Page bumps Machine on the turnbuckle, and Machine stands up, screams, and jumps onto the top rope to crotch himself. Antone got a video of this?
