    Videogame shadow of the colossus to be made into a movie

     

    if anyone remembers the game this could be amazing. i'd rather just have a sequel on the newest consoles though

     

    G.I Joe 2 moved from next month

     

    won't come out till march so it can get converted into 3d. looks so much better than the first one especially with rock and bruce willis. poor performance of battle ship in americ blamed as that wasnt in 3d

    Butch And D-Mal's James Bond Learning Tree Thread

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by iamtheman

    there was an interview a while back where the director (sam mendes) said that theres going to be more humour in skyfall compared to craig's other bond's

    The script, written by returning Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, received added gravitas from Oscar-nominated writer John Logan (The Aviator, Hugo). Naomie Harris, who plays James Bond's MI6 co-worker Eve in Skyfall, was particularly wowed by Logan's improvements. "We had a fantastic script when I signed on to do the movie, then John Logan came on later and reworked things. I didn't think it could get better, but it did. He has the Midas touch. [There's] a lot more humor. It just seemed in keeping with the feel of a classic Bond movie." The gritty, reality-driven Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace were light on the laughs that peppered the previous 40 years of Bond history, but if there's a detectable difference between Skyfall, it's an urgency for 007's wry perspective. Craig explained, "Humor comes more out of a situation than it does out of gag lines. We've got some very funny lines in the movie, but who knows how the audience will find them. I remember in Casino there were some lines that we didn't think were particularly funny, but the audience really got a hold of. I'm just looking forward to showing it to an audience, and showing the dialogue we have and the situations we have to the audience. I think there are some funny moments, but I have a very dark humor." Harris suggests that many of the laughs stem from Bond relearning that he even has a sense of humor. "[A lot of the comedy] is his wit and getting his wit back. Situational humor as well. It's just interesting to see a scene that seems so serious and see how John can add something outside of it or a specific line that turns the scene on its head."

    Full Spoilers for the tapings

     

    AtIeQWlCEAAPM_c.jpg

     

    i'll tag them just in case

     

    <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler

    Dark Match: Xavier Woods (formerly Consequences Creed in TNA) beat Dean Ambrose. Ambrose was very popular.

     

    Triple H came out and cut a promo. Hunter thanked Full Sail for use of their facilities and said the first episode will air in more than 60 countries. (No date was given.)

     

    EPISODE #1 TAPING

     

    Jim Ross and William Regal were introduced on commentary. JR introduced the new GM of NXT, Dusty Rhodes.

     

    (1) Bo Dallas (Rotundo) beat Rick Victor with a spear.

     

    (2) The Ascension (Connor O'Brian & Kenneth Cameron) beat C.J. Parker & Mike Dalton in a squash tag match. Ascension had an epic entrance and were impressive.

     

    Damien Sandow refused to fight Jason Jordan. It was the same promo from his Smackdown appearances. Damien was over as a heel; funny stuff.

     

    (3) Tyson Kidd beat Michael McGillicutty via submission. Great match that captivated the crowd and had plenty of nearfalls. Kidd won with a leg choke.

     

    After a brief intermission, a video aired and they shot the crowd to lead into what can be assumed to be the second episode.

     

    EPISODE #2 TAPING

     

    (1) Seth Rollins (formerly Tyler Black) beat Jiro. This was essentially a squash. Rollins cut a promo promising to take NXT, WWE, and the world by storm.

     

    (2) Jinder Mahal beat Jason Jordan via submission with the Camel Clutch. Boring match as indicated by the crowd chants.

     

    (3) Leo Kruger beat Aiden English. Quick and effective establishing Aiden as a face and Kruger as a heel. Post-match, Leo talked about himself on the mic, calling himself the LEO (Lion) of NXT. So, watch out.

     

    (4) Richie Steamboat beat Rick Victor with a big lariat. Richie wrestles a lot like his dad, Ricky Steamboat, who was ringside watching. Richie gave him a shout-out after the match.

     

    (5) Antonio Cesaro beat Dante Dash. Afterward, Aksana declared, "Antonio is my lover!"

     

    (6) Derrick Bateman beat Johnny Curtis. Comedy match with lots of running around.

     

    End of episode. On to Superstar Showdown or the third NXT taping. It wasn't clear.

     

    EPISODE #3 TAPING

     

    Jim Ross remained on for this taping.

     

    (1) WWE tag champion R-Truth beat Epico. Fun match. Truth won with the Little Jimmy.

     

    (2) Sofia Cortez (Ivelise from Tough Enough) beat Paige.

     

    (3) Seth Rollins beat Camacho (w/Hunico) after a standing foot stomp. Heels attacked Rollins post-match until Bo Davis made the save. Of note, Rollins did not use his FCW Hvt. Title at either taping.

     

    (4) FCW tag champions Jake Carter & Corey Graves beat C.J. Parker & Nick Rogers. Again, the titles were not mentioned.

     

    (5) Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) beat Mike Dalton. Due to Hero's long beard, a "Let's Go Jesus" chant caught on loudly. Post-match, Ohno said he knocks people out and when people see him, they say, "Oh no!"

     

    Leo Kruger came out again and the audience sighed. People were leacing at this point due to not knowing much of the talent. A whole section became spotty and empty. A "We Want Sheamus" chant broke out.

     

    (6) Richie Steamboat beat Leo Kruger. The match ended abruptly after Richie hit a nasty gusher. Post-match, Kruger attacked Richie to good heat. Richie was carried out.

     

    (7) Jinder Mahal beat Derrick Bateman via submission with the Camel Clutch. Jinder got really good shine tonight. He reapplied his finisher after the match until refs separated them.

     

    Byron Saxton is off the booth and now Jack [Chris?] Russo and William Regal have joined Ross.

     

    (8) Ascension beat The Usos. Wow, that's an upset. It's not clear how many episodes they're up to now, but this is dragging badly, and not because of the wrestling.

     

    (9) Bray Wyatt beat Aiden English. Husky Harris's new act is fantastic.

     

    (10) Hunico & Camacho & Michael McGillicutty beat Tyson Kidd & Seth Rollins & Bo Dallas in a six-man tag match. McG avenged his loss against Kidd from earlier in the taping.

     

    Dark Match:

     

    (11) World Hvt. champion Sheamus beat Alberto Del Rio to retain the World Hvt. Title. Sheamus won with the Brogue Kick in a good house show-style title match.

     

    That was the end of the taping. They announced they will return next month after taping a month's worth of NXT in one night.

     

    [close spoiler]

    ");document.close();

     

    sounds fantastic. but taping a month seems to have worn out the crowd

    Watched The Dictator today. If you liked Borat/Ali G/Bruno, you'll like this. So many hilarious moments, I cant remember the last time I was in a cinema where people were actually crying with laughter.

    saw this as well. much better than bruno with 2 absolutly brilliant sequences and some great silly lines to boot. only really the one bit that i myself found really offensive but its good to see cohen back on form and John c Reilly is really great as always

    Ignore my earlier enthusiastic post about the great penultimate Season 8 ep of The Office, because the finale was absolutely fucking crap.

    As much as I hate to say it, it really was. Just didn't really round the season off for me. Will there be a season 9 or is it still up in the air what with NBC looking to shake up the schedule?
    office has got a season 9. its been confirmed. renewals also for parks and rec, up all night and whitneyHappy Endings gets a third season too . which is great. also E4 have somehow got an extra episode of it for next week which hasn't been shown in america
