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.

    • If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/
    • I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD 
    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over.
