As a little kid I used to watch the 1960's British TV show 'Thunderbirds!'
Then about 10 years ago, they made a film . . . and did it all wrong. They used human actors and made it all real world.
It should have been a CGI film, recreating the old look and feel of the marionettes and the...
I know people who fall into both categories too. Making it kinda like with alcohol, majority of people are able to use it fine, with no ill effects on their day to day lives. Yet for some it can ruin everything.
Okay, this thread is back, and I have actually had a question I've wanted to ask.
Is there a pill or liquid marijuana extract ( I don't know what the term might be . . . as you can tell ) that people can take? Sort of subtle and sneaky.
To explain, I have a co-worker, who I'm pretty sure...
Does Memento count? it plays with the order in which time and events play out. Good to watch it and hit the pause every now and then to think through what's happened / happening.
Been out of the loop for the weekend. Sad to hear this.
Always a big Star Wars fan, just thinking now, I had a R2D2 + 3PO poster on my wall as a kid for years.
One of the best moments so far has been Fiji winning mens Rugby sevens, the country's first gold medal. Also the emotion as the team all gathered in a huddle and sang.
You might want to consider going to a Chiropractor.
I got a pretty bad tear in my knee cartilage ( meniscus ) about a year and a half ago. I had a CAT scan and the doctors were telling me I needed key hole surgery and I was placed on the public hospital waiting list. Which would have taken more...
Australian Census night tonight. The first time it has been done on-line.
I said to a few people: What, so they expect several million login's to the same website at once, and that it's going to work???
This is what we got.
They did also send a paper version. Which I will fill out . . . when...
Lindsay Lohan and her partner in a Lover's tiff. They were wrestling over his phone and she broke it - something like that.
Anyway, weird, kinda ugly nakedness
With the Australian team, Basketballer ( NBA player ) Andrew Bogut is staying in the Athlete's village. I'm sure he has enough money to afford to stay where ever he wants. So is doing it to properly BE a part of the team. Good for him.
He did complain that the bed wasn't big enough for him...
To get in the spirit for this I fired up the old Modern Warfare 2 and played the Favela stages.
Also re: the earlier talk about the Russian Diplomat killing the mugger. I suspect that he had a very specific type of 'diplomat' training.
I saw the original at the cinema, back in the day.
And having seen it again recently * , it's a great film.
* On an aside, the recent watching, was a 1080 HD re-master. Holy crap there's some good detail when Daryl Hannah is walking around naked.
Watched it again just a week ago. Just made me hunger for more.
In a way the fact that it had a modest budget and was therefore only showing a small part of the world, Dredd's world. Leaves so much potential for future films / series
I got no plans to see this film . . . I could see it's bad just from the trailer. A quick skim of this thread seems to confirm that.
Hey just so you guys know, this thread has got 76 pages ( by the settings I'm using ) Which makes it more than Fury Road, and virtually 3 times as much as the...
Hmm, didn't realize how long ago this was released.
Finally got around to seeing it just this weekend. As the film starts, I was a little surprised when I realized that they were doing it, with Roger doing his documentary / movie about finding some form of closure re: his Father's death -...
Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold
The words and theme of the song strike such a poignant level, when you consider that she died of cancer less than a year after recording this.
Bit of dust just blew in my eyes here.
^^^
Was going to say that best episode ( only good one perhaps ) of season 2 was the one with the Park Ranger family.
When I saw that one, I thought they were setting up a template for episodes where they would encounter small groups of survivors and be with them / in contact with them /...
And yeah, but that's not going to explain the bigger question of how a computer virus ( which David himself seemed to have, from that I assume that it was pre-existing ) could work on totally alien computer systems.
And remember that it shut down / locked up the entire system, which is a...
I finally got to see this.
Yeah, kinda captured some of the feel of the original. But then the SFX at times just felt over done and became a Michael Bay style shit shower. I did like some of the new characters and the 'altered tech world'.
But parts of the script felt like they were from...
Huh, following on from those warnings of films not to watch . . .
Tonight I watched Kingsmen - the Secret service.
Good film! highly recommend!!
I know there's been plenty of praise for it on these boards, add me to the list of fans
The BBC should have just paid that guy that got punched, a fuck-ton of hush money.
Looking at the mess it all is now, you could have justified giving him $10 Million. And they would be better off.
As a kid we used to watch those movies he'd done with Terrance Hill. We called them the Trinity movies - from the more well known Trinity Brothers film IIRC
I did a read up on him just a few months back during some nostalgia. Surprised to see the young pictures of him being incredibly fit, he...
