The Hurt Locker was a load of cliched rubbish, I thought.

Oh, and the State of Play remake thing was pathetic compared to the original series. And that's nothing to do with the absence of Polly Walker either.

I don't recall smiling once during The Boat that Rocked either. Forget laughter. Not even one smile.

Watched the Phantom Menace last night for the first time in ages. Thank god for Darth Maul and the pod race. The script and acting are unbelievably bad.

Still, it looks nice and has lightsabers.

I was just about to give you a massive kiss for your first comment, but then I got to your last! The Boat That Rocked is wonderful!

I think maybe it's a film you have to watch as a child, and probably as a child from the 80's or before who hasn't been blessed with amazing special effects yet. I was scared shitless of it when I was a kid.

Have you read the book?

Yeah that's why I found it so funny. The film scared the crap out of me as a kid too. Now I think it's funny.

The spider now looks like a failled art college project (the thought of a spider with a set of wobbly arms and a face like a Boglin, with a glowing Tellytubby belly as the "ultimate evil" is either genius or derived from the scribblings of a retard), the cave looks so fake and like a set from Power Rangers. Also, it should be shown to anyone that thinks Hollyoaks is the home of the worst acting in the world.

I remember the book being waaaaay better, and less literal, and slightly more meaningful. Well, I read it when I was 12. It would help if I didn't consider Stephen King (along with Dan Brown) to be one of the worlds most successful writing hacks of all time.

:P

Briliant. That did make me laugh out loud. In a kind of Homer Simpson "Why do you think I took you to see Police Academy when you were young Bart? Because it was funny? Well I didn't hear anyone else laughing, did you?" type way.

What did you think it was out of interest? A drama? Or a documentary type thing?

Just a film. Mr Cheese has a tendancy to just download anything and everything. He never finds out what things are about beforehand, he'd rather watch a film to find out whether he likes it or not, rather than go off the synopsis or somebody else's review. I quite like it, we've watched some real surprises.......we've also watched some absolute pants though :P

I didn't find it particularly funny either, but I didn't know it was supposed to be a comedy. I just thought it was a lovely film and I'm surprised to hear of someone not liking it.

    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
    • From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”
    • I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
