Happy Face

They've arrested a bloke

Da Vinci code nun 'not genuine' "She has no official connection with any order or any of the parishes. She's a one-off, a maverick. "She dresses more nun-like than any nuns I know."

Is it missing a comma?

Or the hunter was gang raped by a simian gang.

You're an astronaut? I thought you were a civil servant or something? 141576[/snapback] So you can only accept something if you see it first-hand then? How do I know I was born and not created? 141582[/snapback] I'm willing to bet Alex hasn't been on the moon, he's a conspiracist. Fair enough if he's Alexander Kaleri but I doubt that.

She's a doll! Never heard her sing like.

So why did you go and watch 3 separate films with giant flaming monsters; walking, talking trees; a gollum, an army of dead people, massive cave monsters, a huge flaming eye and lots of other stuff you new about from the book? What CGI was in there was very good, especially after the Fellowship.

I thought the Fellowship of the ring was superb, but got bored during the two towers. He completely screwed up on the return of the king and despite massacreing the book's ending, and missing the entire point of the trilogy I thought, he still made it an hour too long! Jesus did cry at those numerous false endings. 141509[/snapback] So although it was too long and there were too many endings, you wanted the scouring of the Shire (is that what it's called) in there too? Moon on a stick!

I wonder about the animosity toward Peter Jackson. Fair enough if you don't like the films, but they have their place and are very good at what they're meant to do. They're kids books and films, and kids love them. In the same way George Lucas gets shite, Jackson is slagged off for inspiring bairns. Difference is, Jackson is still doing it on a budget too (none of the LOTR films cost more than $100M and every penny is on screen). I'm no Jackson fanboy, but calling him a cunt when Michael Bay is still allowed to make films strikes me as grossly unfair.

My only problem with King Kong was how it lurched from one precarious situation to another. I was thoroughly enjoying the story until they decided to stop it for an hour and a half of running through the forest. Saying that, I had exactly the same problem with the original, I guess he wanted to honour it.

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

If you totalled sales of the artists on our lists, I think mine would have more. (though U2 might spoil it) 141189[/snapback] so...whose Mr "popular Music" now then ??? 141190[/snapback] Me. I listen to Girls Aloud, watch Big Brother, eat at Macdonalds and buy King Kong on DVD. I'm about as elitist as Chantelle tbh. But she'd agree that chart stuff is mostly shite.

Sigur Ros - hoppipolla Boy Kill Boy suzie The Feeling- Fill my little world Primal scream- Country Girl Dirty Pretty Things- Bang bang you're dead Raconteurs- Steady as she goes Snow Patrol- You're all I have Kooks- Naive Red Hot Chilli Peppers- Dani California Gnarls Barkley- Crazy what do I win? 141185[/snapback] Failed on at least 3.

I specified "generally" If anyone can look at the top 40 and find 10 tracks that aren't shit then I'll be impressed.

As discussed elsewhere, popular stuff is generally shit!

Good list though, I tend to rent off amazon anyway and if I really like the film, buy it second hand off there. 141129[/snapback] I can't get off Page 1

Ridiculously expensive. Try dddhouse instead.

If God Gives Life, he's such an Indian giver. - Modest Mouse - Bukowski

Looking through some of my playlists, these are a few of the most repeated tracks from them. Songs I never skip if they come on... Blur - We've Got A File on You (Loud, Short and Sweet) Yann Tiersen - A Quai (A joy to walk down the street on a sunny day to) Genius GZA - Liquid Swords (Embarassed myself many a time bobbing my head to it on public transport). Jurassic 5 - Jayou US3 - Cantaloop (Funky! Funky!) Sufjan Stevens - Come On! Feel The Illinoise! Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke (Love the way he says "Basie, Miller, Satchmo") The Smiths - How Soon Is Now Roots Manuva - Witness (1 Hope) RJD2 - Ghostwriter The Ramones - Beat On The Brat

I find it infinitely amusing that America couldn't win the first World Cup of Baseball earlier this year.

Or even Carlsberg. [/pedant] 141039[/snapback] If either one made them, they'd probably taste of piss tbh.

Except for having to wipe 90 year old arses?
