  1. I agree with Dazzer.

     

    Close Encounters is an Alien movie so therefore, it is acceptable to have aliens at the end.

     

    The likes of Knowing is very lazy writing, because it's just like you're watching a really good movie and the ending is "oh it was a dream" you feel robbed of the time you wasted watching the movie.

     

    Knowing sounds fucking awful from that description. You wouldn't get away with writing like that in Hollyoaks. I was never likely to watch Knowing since Nicholas "I play the same character in every movie" Fuckface Cage was in it, but I'm even less likely to ever see it now.

     

  2. Well, like I said, I've not seen it so I can't judge. Going from your description however, it sounds as if there are several consistency errors. Which to me would imply bad or simply lazy writing.

     

    Wolverrine lazy writing?

     

    Have you seen Indiana Jones 4 or the Knowing. Aliens as an explanation at the end of a movie is the epitome of lazy writing .

     

    Firstly, what has the ending of Indiana Jones have to do with anything?

     

    Secondly, how does Aliens at the end of a movie suggest lazy writing? Do you consider Close Encounters of the Third Kind lazily written then?

     

     

     

    I'll re-iterate having Aliens as an explanation to things at the end of a movie is lazy. It's a one shot, encompasses any scenario you want to situation. It's the sort or writing that school kids use in GSCE exams (well I did anyway) when you've ran out of ground/ideas/time to tell a more plausable story.

     

    And what has the ending of Indian Jones got to do with anything? It has aliens as the explanation behind the story does it not or did I watch another film? I don't care if people think that was the direction of the movie because it still reeks of poor writing.

     

    Your example of close encounters is crass and clearly not in context, that is a film about Aliens. Maybe I should be more specific for you, Aliens as an explanation when there is no no need to is lazy and childlike.

     

    I'm certainly not attempting to defend Indiana Jones 4, in any way. It is lazily, not to mention badly, written, but I think there is much more wrong with the writing than the aliens at the end of it. The entire rest of the movie for example.

     

    However, it seems that were arguing here over different flavours of shit sandwich, neither of which I would prefer to taste. Wolverine is shit, as is Indiana Jones, one being shit does not negate the others shitness.

     

     

    Close Encounters, although an alien related film, wasn't necessarily a film about aliens. If you'll remember, most of the film deals with people going crazy, closing themselves away and making mountain shapes out of mashed potatoes. It isn't until later that we discover that it's aliens that are causing this. Granted the title of the film gives that ending away somewhat, but it's still only in the final minutes of the movie that we see the aliens.

    Also, if anyone who thinks The Unforgiven is a bad film is clearly lacking in, not only taste, but in mental capacity.

  4. Wolverine

    This is the most cliche movie I think I've ever seen. I probably predicted the entire storyline in about twenty minutes and it was painful to watch. So Wolverine's jacket and bike are indestructible too? And if he has his memory wiped how did he find them again later? The only thing that was ok about this entire film was the Gambit, Deadpool and Sabertooth characters.

     

    seeings that you've just deconstructed the movie in 'intense detail', i'll counter-analyse.

     

    The jacket and bike?? why even argue about that? the jacket just looks fucking cool, that's all there is too it. As for the bike, well that was fucking cool too. If you wanna argue about that in a movie where a guy can slice moving bullets with a sword and a man can make the floor shake by smacking it with his cane, you sir are fucking stupid.

     

    as for the memory thing, like i said, you can kinda watch this movie as a stand alone piece. The fact that Wolverine walks off at the end doesn't really mean anything other than it shows that Wolverine's lost his memory and he left alone. The time between this movie and the X-Men is a good few years, what's to say that something doesn't happen in them years that leads Wolverine back to Magneto and his new crew? it's not really worth thinking about. Having said that, i wouldn't be surprised if there's a dvd extra or something which explains what happened.

     

    So essentially you're saying that you can't criticise a film just because it's badly made? And even more so if it's a consistently ridiculous film?

     

    I've not seen the film, but from your description of it I think I'll be giving it a miss. I'm still trying to shake the memory of the last god-fucking-awful X-Men film.

     

     

     

  5. Also, I don't get how 'something is about to happen' would effect someone who has a time machine. Why doesn't he just go forward, find out what it is, then go back and prepare for it, or even kill the cause of it?

     

    What you're saying doesn't really make sense.

     

    Something is about to happen to him in his own life. The Doctor's life is still a straight line much like mine or yours, but it just takes place in varios different places and times. He's not going to know *where* something will happen or *when* in his personal timeline because he is 'of no fixed time or abode'.

     

    Pretty easy explanation and certainly not 'retarded'

     

    Hmm.. fair play, I can see what you mean. However, I could put money on this upcoming event taking place in contemporary London in about a years time or so.

     

    Also, I certainly wasn't suggesting that the series itself is retarded, merely the writers of past Saturday's 'special'. Hmm.. maybe that's what they meant by 'special episode'.

     

    I do hope that the quality picks up somewhat once Steve Moffat takes over, I really liked some of the episodes he was responsible for.

  6. Also, I don't get how 'something is about to happen' would effect someone who has a time machine. Why doesn't he just go forward, find out what it is, then go back and prepare for it, or even kill the cause of it?

     

    This has been explained quite a few times he can't do that it has to do with crossing his own time stream

     

    But doesn't he do that every time he travels in time within a period of his life? I know that he says he can't interfere with events in his own time stream, but he observes events within his lifetime all the time. I just think it's strange that someone with complete control over time and space lives a life in such a linear way, not to mention his constantly hanging out in London all the time.

  7. I thought Saturday's special was a bit shit. It gave me the impression that it was written by children, especially with the plagiarised ideas (The bus on appearing on another planet is taken from Gaiman's The Sandman), the blatant Lara Croft 'homage' and the overall cringe worthiness of the dialogue. It seemed more like a bad fan fiction to me.

     

    I hope this isn't a sign to come regarding the quality of the new Doctor's episodes.

    I'm sure the writers must be somewhat retarded.

  8.  

    In about sixteen years time we'll probably look back at John Cena in the same way as we look at this clip now.

     

    Shut up you clueless cock.

     

    Have I offended a Cena fetishist or a Men On A Mission fan?

     

    No, you have not offended me and I am neither of the above frankly. You just irritate me with your ignorance and stupidity.

     

    I wasn't aware that criticizing John Cena constituted being labelled ignorant and stupid. Two traits which you, sir, appear to embody, judging by your posts.

     

    JayOoG and AliveAndAmplified are right, you are indeed a whinging bitch and a cunt.

  9. Yesterday, I just finished reading this;

    Now I need to read this for class;

    Which is apparently dull as sin.

     

    Then I'd like to move on to;

    Which I bought over a month ago an haven't gotten around to reading yet.

  10. Ever thought Tennant could be throwing people of the scent by specifically saying This Chap?

     

    And Duane, the correct term nowadays is Actor, for both male and female.

     

    Actress isn't used anymore? How odd.

     

     

    Neither is Waitress. It's Wait-person now.

     

    :(

  11. There were some fine films on Channel 4 tonight. Silent Hill followed by Big Trouble in Little China. An uncharacteristic display of fine taste in Saturday night scheduling, long may it continue. Mind you, they are showing The Transporter tomorrow night, so it doesn't seem like the trend will continue for long.

     

    I saw Ghost Town at the cinema last night. It was okay, funny in parts but a very forgettable film with one dimensional characterization. I was originally going to see James Bond, but I had heard that it was shit.

  12. I had never heard of SWE until today. In this case ignorance really is bliss.

     

    Having never been a wrestler myself, I won't comment on the in ring content of the promotion. I will, however, have to say that the SWE website is without doubt the most badly designed I have ever seen in my life, a true photoshop disaster and an offence to the visual senses.

     

    I can't imagine any potential fan seeing that thing and thinking "This is the wrestling show for me." If anything they'll be severely put off, which makes me wonder why they would have the website in the first place. The best you could hope is that it would be shared by fans as an object of ridicule.

     

    Why is the SWE logo designed and created in what looks like Microsoft Paint? Why, also, does it contain the WONDER WOMAN logo?

    I'm not one to advise on running a wrestling promotion, but perhaps it may have been worth parting with some cash to have the done properly and professionally.

  13. Authorities believe wrestler Benoit killed wife, son then himselfAuthorities believe a professional wrestler, his wife and son ‑ found dead in their central Fayette County home Monday afternoon ‑ died in a murder-suicide.District Attorney Scott Ballard said Monday night that he felt confident that Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy, their 7-year-old son and then himself.Ballard declined to release the cause of death, but said that earlier news reports that the Benoits died of gunshots were false. The crime lab is in the process of confirming the cause of death, but Ballard said there was enough evidence on scene to make him confident that the Benoits were not killed by another person.
