ewerk 30221 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I was going to watch it. Then I saw Ghosthunting with Girls Aloud was on ITV2, in retrospect perhaps I should have left it on Channel 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 He irritated me and so did his mates so I turned over. I was tainted when I watched it because I read reviews last year and knew about the controversy (there was a theatrical release), that's why I asked for opinion before giving it. If no-one's seen it I suppose it doesn't matter. Many reviewers have said they thought it was fake and have listed reasons why. And actually your comment goes along with them. It was too good a story that this unlikeable little prick was cleansed and became a good bloke. Fake or not I thought it was excellent and would highly recommend it.

I did suspect that it might be fake though I only watched about 10 minutes of it. Something just didn't ring true about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6985 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I watched Macintyres underworld instead. WIth the Taxman from Teeside who was quite possibly the thickest man on teeside too. My favourite quite was 'Im 6 times stronger than the average man' then 2 minutes later 'Did you know chimps are 6 times stronger than the average man?' Pretty much sums him up to be honest. Every person hes done a show on so far has been a clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 MacIntyre just licks their arse too. I watched a bit of it and he made the bloke out to be a modern day saint keeping the streets safe. Until the 'roid rage kicks in, no doubt.

I happened upon that Ghosthunting with Girls Aloud last night but had to turn it off when wor lass came in. Was it any good? I had to turn it over 15 minutes before the end as my TV was in severe danger of a good kicking. It involved Girls Aloud running round an abandonded hospital in the dark while the crew knocked on walls pretending to be ghosts. Possibly one of the most annoying programs I've seen in a while, Yvette Fielding running round saying, "Did anyone hear that? I asked them to talk to us and I just heard them. Anyone hear it? Anyone?!" No Yvette, no one heard a fucking thing because nothing was said lying trout. Another example was when they spent about ten minutes round a ouji board with fuck all happening then Yvette says, "Channel your energy through me" and surprise surprise the glass begins to move. Yes it moved because you're pushing it you silly fucking bint! Highlights were the one with the annoying voice didn't turn up and the ginger one had the courtesy to fuck off after a while so we didn't have to look at spastic/ginger head. Most disappointing part was Yvette huddled with Girls Aloud in a dark room screaming "touch me! touch me!" and not one of the girls would oblige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just hoping they'd be frightened out of their wits so you got to see nipples like armour piercing bullets tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44278 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Cheers. I actually saw a couple of minutes of it but turned over not realising what it was. Sounds interesting enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Read the right up and decided to watch it, big let down, was really shit and he and his mates came across as smug cunts! EXACTLY the type of people that Gemmill often talks about when he is on a student rant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Read the right up and decided to watch it, big let down, was really shit and he and his mates came across as smug cunts! EXACTLY the type of people that Gemmill often talks about when he is on a student rant! Did you not think that was the moral? This lad who'd made a bomb working in the city, travelled the world with his snide mates being proper geezers, and arseholes with it, suddenly forgets everything. He's reborn without any cynisism whatsoever and all of a sudden realises everything that's wonderful and is able to build a new life to embrace it. He's able to tell life long friends they're tits and he doesn't want to associate with such arseholes, he's able to make a new circle of friends that share his positive outlook and he's able to ditch the daily grind and do work that makes him happy rather than makes him money. Total amnesia made him a far nicer bloke. That's what made it seem like a set up to me, it was such a moral story. Or did you think he was still a cock after the amnesia?

Gejon 2 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 He still came across as a cock after, I got bored in the end and turned over because he really was a person I didn't want to watch anymore of! I think I hate that sort of person more than I do a charver or a suicidal emo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I hate that sort of person more than I do a charver or a suicidal emo! Bloke was a fucking tool. After 5 minutes I thought it was a set-up. Just didn't add up. Had some journalist been good enough to dig this story up and shoot a documentary then I'd, perhaps, go for it. But for him to go to so much trouble of filming everything that happened after he'd supposedly lost his memory.... Strange, losing his memory didn't affect his ability to use a fucking camcorder did it? Hate liars me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Glad I'm not the only one who thought he was a cock. Still reckon it's a fake too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Glad I'm not the only one who thought he was a cock. Still reckon it's a fake too. How Fake do you all think it was? Did the lad pretend to have amnesia and no-one else knew? Did the lad and the producers conspire to trick everyone including his family? Did all his friends and family know but were good actors? Were they all hired actors and the family photo's faked and the home video's? At Q&A sessions after the film was shown in theatre's, the producers would offer their phone numbers so that if you had any questions you could ask them, to this day, they are adamant it's real.

In the ten or fifteen minutes I saw, it seemed like it might be fake. Either way I thought it was shit and the people in it were twats so I had no interest in what was happening to them whether it was real or not. You thought it was good obviously, I didn't.

It did seem quite an odd thing to do, you completely lose your memory, cant even remember your own name so what do you do? Shit yourself? nah fuck it I will film it instead!
