adios

I must have been thinking of the gulf stream...

In the hope that Souness drowns?

I think there's a few dodgy ones on that last list of 64, anyone feel up to compiling the new one? I'm far too hung-over...

Anyone mentioned the 2 contortionists in the middle? Twisted Sister?

Is that a Beetle on the wall to the left of the Virgin sign? (The Beatles)

Step on video, maybe 63523[/snapback] That's the one.

Black Flag (Above nearest Rolling Stone) Iron Maiden (At zebra crossing) Why do I think that's the Happy Mondays on the roof of that building.

That was the highlight for me. Since I've left Ireland a surprising amount of time on the phone talking to my brother about Eamon's latest antics. the man's a deluded prick but he's comedy gold.

Well said, Professor.

Is that a charity?

Dunphy also said on air a few weeks ago Rio Ferdinand "should be shot", not saying I disagree but it might be a tad unprofessional.

Cos that will save the season won't it? Replace him in the summer, yes - sack him now? No way! 63060[/snapback] Relegation looks a genuine possibility with Souness at the helm. I'd give Shearer a run until the end of the season over him. A decent manager with the players he'd have at his disposal would allow us to remember what happiness means with regards to football.

Worst analogy ever!

I know what you mean, I learned to wait for a decent release the hard way! The reason I haven't seen Saw 2 yet is that I can't find a TeleCine, whatever that is... Cary Elwes' acting at the start of 'Saw' was shocking and took a bit of getting used to. But I've been thinking alot about this recently. I think we've been fed over-acting for years and have got so used to this surreal version of things in screen that when we get something closer to how people would actually react in a situation it seems too flat. 'Lost' for example, the US show, I think the acting is spot on and the breakdown of different character types seems very real (from my personal experience of crash landing on desert islands, obviously). It's just a shame it's been so 'whored'. Stretched over 7 seasons when 2 was enough and a few weaks ago the preview revealed someone was going to die in the next episode. Can you imagine a Soliliquay in 'Hamlet' where you suddenly get a run-down of the final act? Anyway, slight detour there.

Aye, cos they sell them at a loss and make a killing on the ink. 55810[/snapback] Which is why so many companies are making a killing selling refurbished cartridges at less than half price on t'web.

The argument they now use is that while I download a movie I'm also sharing it out. So instead of having to pay the 60 dollars for 4 movies they've basically got him on commercial piracy charges. 'Justice' is fun.

HF - You're still preaching the idiocy of a film that you admittedly don't remember. I think for homework this evening you should sit down and watch both 'Saw' and 'Seven' and then explain to us why one was so clever and the other so stupid.

Naw I didn't give anything away but Saw 2 does give a bit of background info on why Jigsaw kills people the way he does. I had to be careful to offer the Saw 1 explanation and not the Saw 2 that's all. 55800[/snapback] Aah, no hassle, I had you down for a child botherer and a movie spoiler there for a second.

That film was way too hyped for me and had to be a let down. The only bit that made me jump was the old lady (in the closet?) and her face on the child. The twist became obvious a bit too early as well. I think there's a bit in a lift in 'Dark Water' that didn't do my heart any favours. My memory of a lot of Horror movies is awful anyway. I find a little smoke before hand helps the atmosphere, but not the memory!

Didn't you say something above to th effect of, "You see, I told you I'd give something away"? I don't really want to look to closely but it looked like that when I was scrolling past.

Disgraceful. Do they have no appreciation of the duress they are putting that poor man under? I genuinely wish serious ill-will to that Kori Bernards woman and her ilk.

I suspect England will find that alot easier than most teams!

Yeah, I'm a big Palahniuk fan myself. I liked the film but the way the ending was changed seemed a little odd, certainly not the kind of optimism I associate the author with! Apparently a 'Survivor' movie has been in the pipeline for a quite a while but the 9-11 hysteria is making it difficult, proably my favourite book of his and I'd love to see a movie done. I liked 'Adaptation' and I appreciate what Kaufman(s) was/were getting at but I'm just grateful that there are so many movies made that I can enjoy. Considering it's mass media, it could all end up like 'XXX' or 'The Fast and the Furious'. Peter Jackson's life work was exactly that, his, he didn't do it for anyone else. Take away the breathe-taking scenery and CGI and what your left with is a pretty poor play. I read the book a long time ago and a couple of years later, as a young boy, I was wondering where the adult themes in that book were. I'm not a Tolkien fan, it really is the realm of yound children and Jackson was fulfilling some childhood fantasy in that trilogy. I fell asleep in the second and haven't bothered with the third. But I'll recognise it's a quality movie for alot of people. It's funny, that list of Horrors you've come up with, it's exactly my taste, saw 'The Descent' a couple of days ago and thought it was excellent, apart from the timing of a couple of things. Loved 'Ringu', have you seen 'Dark Water', I preferred it, though I'm not sure why. I actually took the DVD out of the player when I finished watching 'Ringu'! I haven't seen 'Audition' yet but I've seen 'Gozu' and I loved it. Also loved 'Seven', but have to say I thought Saw was along the same lines, I didn't think either of them were particularly genius in the way they were crafted but I thought both were pretty similar. It is a while since I've seen either but I do have them both on DVD, may be time to refresh my memory. I think I would class 'Saw' as the scarier of the two. EDIT: On the 'Gozu' thing, you may not have seen that exact circumstance but there was something very similar coming, in fact, wasn't the ending the most predictable thing in that crazy movie! I'm going to have to ignore anything else written before this as I see Brock has kindly tried to give away the ending of Saw 2!

The premise of "The 3" sounds to have far more in common with "Fight Club", and that's a tenuous link. Where do you stand on Chuck Palahniuk? I like these horror/thriller movies as you often see young Writers/Directors expressing themselves on a low budget. For my money "Bad Taste" still has a lot more going for it than the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I haven't seen the second one but I enjoyed Saw, thought it was well put together. I thought the idea of cutting through one's leg was far scarier than darkness in the film, although I think you'll find a huge number of adults who would list it as their greatest irrational fear. I have to say I really admire some Horror producers as it's such a difficult genre. They have to trap you in that spell for the whole ~90 minutes, one break and you're out and the experience is a failure. I didn't think they relied on many cheap tricks, can you explain what you mean when you say therre was no rhyme or reason to it? Not every horror movie will hit everyone the right way but I feel you've levelled some bloody heavy critisism at this one, what would you consider to be the best Horrors?

No, Steve remains my hero for having the bravery that I lack to be abusive to young girls and old women.
