Mr. Seven

Neither. Do you have a link to your reviews?

Anyone played Deadly Premonition? I'm not far into it and despite its many, many flaws I'm somewhat loving it. It's basically Twin Peaks meets Silent Hill with graphics worthy of the Dreamcast and controls reminiscent of Resident Evil 1. The story is utterly bizarre and the lead character appears to be mentally unstable. I should think it's rubbish but something about it keeps drawing me in.

Taken is excellent. It garnered some hilariously stuffy reviews that screamed of xenophobia but those critics missed the point. It doesn't attempt to be anything more than a straightforward action film. The fact that Liam Neeson is totally believable as a Jason Bourne-style badass who can and will fuck anybody up is one of cinema's finest tricks. Now I'm not saying the guy couldn't handle himself in a scrap, but when I saw the poster for the film my instant reaction was "Liam Neeson... really?

By the film's end I was ready to surrender to the man should I ever walk past him in the street. I also adore the fact that it's only about 80 minutes long, is utterly ridiculous and has no qualms regarding the alleged xenophobia (It's Liam Neeson versus EUROPE!) and thus is populated full of hilarious stereotypes.

Also, the phonecall is one of the greatest scenes. When he delivers that speech and the kidnapper goes "Good luck" before hanging up on him. Well if you're not in a room with your mates and a rake of beer shouting "OHHHHHHHH!!!" at that moment, then you've yet to watch the film properly.

It NEEDS a sequel.

Jesse James is meant to unlikeable though. Surely you want to compile a list of unintentionally hateful protagonists? Stick Bella Swan and Cathy Linton at the top either way.

Also Bodhi is a prick but he's seductive, so yeah I can see the Tyler Durden comparisons. I love Point Break. I find myself defending Keanu Reeves quite a bit really. I think he's nowhere near as bad an actor as people make out.

The Believer also had Billy Zane, which I think we can all agree most films could benefit from.

Have you seen Lars And The Real Girl?

Black Swan

I'm gay for Darren Aronosky and Vincent Cassel so I was probably always going to like this. Bias aside it's absolutely brilliant. Creepy, claustrophobic, deeply unsettling and at times genuinely scary with a career-best turn from Natalie Portman. Believe the hype where she is concerned.

neil doesn't make me laugh often but his "NEIL NUMBERS" post in the Foretean/paranormal thread made me LOL.

Surely you should put "version 2.0" in the title.

Last place.

Went to The King's Speech today. Really enjoyed it. Firth will win the Oscar. Geoffrey Rush was tremendous too.

Might not be, I can't actually remember and as I am no longer a Paid Member I can't access such information.

Absolute nonsense.

Of course. You and green didn't nominate him for every nagative award. Green didn't accuse him of having a "Joe The Lion" style breakdown for giving his opinion. Gladstone hasn't (twice) posted that he should win this award. Just from my memory. Sure there'll be more.

Pretty sure I nominated him for this award and nothing else. This might shock you, but I don't control what Green or Gladstone do. The notion that Family Guy PMSL is this put-upon victim is absolute rubbish. He's a desperately unfunny smart-alec prick, and nothing more.

Then maybe you can understand how everyone else felt about the side-splitting 'Free The UKFF One protest' we had to endure earlier this year.

 

You've really not taken your nomination here very well, have you?

I don't particularly know the guy, nor can I think of even one of his posts. However, he takes an awful lot of shit from some of the clown club and the various hangers on (as does TripleA) so he's going to give some back. Don't try and pretend he's just reacting to this nomination. If people are going to troll someone, there's going to be a reaction. Don't try and take the higher ground to the response, you look like a fool.

Absolute nonsense.

Really reaching there aren't you?

First time I actually saw the thread in question to be honest man. TripleA is annoying but I don't think my feelings towards him really hold a candle to your pathetic desperation when it comes to neil.

A bad neil one-liner? I'd imagine it made you feel funny downstairs.

I think I'd rather be nWo Sting.

Oh fuck I'm going to prison now aren't I?

You missed his point then.

The day Rupert Murdoch pays millions to broadcast Mike Castle's thrilling victories over Snake Plissken, I may concede the game worthy of a few threads on here. Until then, I'll continue to view it as Dungeons and Dragons without the saving grace of face to face socialising.

**applause**

His post in the infamous Lexx thread was the funniest thing he ever wrote. Real "If I can be serious for a minute" hilarity.

Do you play as Nico? Don't tell me there's no Gorgeous George Stobbart!

I have an earlier model iPod touch which I don't think can get apps. I'm gutted as fuck me, Broken Sword is one of my favourite games ever. I was obsessed with it.

Wall*E is great for 40 minutes. It's like a silent movie and really quite poignant and beautiful. Sadly the remaining half of the film is ultraconventional fluffy time which ruins the tone.
