  1. I've tried watching a few episodes of Its Always Sunny and I don't get it. Danny de Vito aside, it feels like low grade Seinfeld if every character was played by acting powerhouse Jerry Seinfeld.

     

    Justified I also found quite dull. They don't really follow through on the premise of a wild west style law enforcer out of time and place. I wanted Timothy Olyphant to be badass ala Bullock/Deadwood but instead his character seems mostly quite nice and reasonable.

  2. DuelThis is an early Spielberg flick about a guy being chased across rural midwest America by a guy in an oil tanker. Basic concept, but with enough Spielberg to make it work?Not quite. At first, it's really good and interesting but the action is monotonous and repetitive, although the image of the tanker is geniunely creepy throughout.Having said that, Spielberg's direction is spot on throughout. Interesting camera work and beautiful angles scatter the film and the photography of the landscape lends to the gripping finale.Think of the slowest slow burning film you've ever seen and imagine it in slow motion - that is what Duel is like.I would not really recomend this to any but the Spielberg enthuasists. Its a shame really as I was really looking forward to watching this.

    I really liked Duel, I didn't think it was particularly slow, its too short to be. The constant focus on Monsieur-skinny-driver-whats-his-face really works because you're generously offorded the rather morbid pleasure of seeing him gradually crumble piece by piece the longer he's outside of his comfort zone (the office). And I forget, but I like to think the truck's ALIVE and doesn't have a driver because it just seems so cool that way.Just watched Walkabout, and it was wonderful, I feel all peaceful inside. I really, really don't wanna know how old Jenny Agutter was when it was filmed though. :unsure:

  4. he's one of the few guys who has stuck to his guns and wrestled the style he learned

    Compare his matches today with those ten years ago though, there's a world of difference. Pillman Show and Insurrextion matches aside he's been a total wreck for the past two years and the vast majority of his matches stink regardless of whether or not WWE fans 'get' his style.
