    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    True that plot, character and dialogue is what makes a good movie. Of all the projects that JJ Abrams has been involved with I most liked Cloverfield, which is very under-rated, as the bulk of people wanted it to be aMonstermovie when it was really a movie about the people in the middle of this...

    JJ Abrams to direct new Star Wars movie

    I watched Super 8 this week for the first time. Lens flare just too heavy. The viewing experience is: So here they're trying to <lens flare>what the hell. . . oh they better bare careful <lens flare>damn it!. . . oh so this guy and the girl actually like<lens flare>damn it again!! Also...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I live in Australia, we do tip, but it's only really at restaurants, normally only up to about 10%, if the waiter/tress has been quite good or the whole experience good it'll go up a bit more. Other than that, another common thing is to let someone like a taxi driver or pizza delivery guy (ie...

    Cereal

    Now the good stuff: Coco pops Just like a chocolate milkshake only crunchy. Love this but I've had to admit to walking away from it in an effort to eat better / better health / age. Maybe I'll buy some soon just for old times sake.

    Cereal

    Firstly a highly over rated Australian cereal: Weet-bix. I think families buy it because it's cheap as fuck and supposedly healthy due to the fact that it's really just dry pressed bits of wheat pressed into brick shapes. Lots of people seem to like it, can't see why myself. When it's...

    I was working for a while as a Pizza delivery driver, it was one of the main Pizza companies.

    Re: the Back to the Future / Earth moves problem.

    ^^^ Yeah the tunnels in Nam were way more advanced than the U.S. had realised at the start. There was even an incident where the U.S. came and built a large base. Right over an already existing complex of tunnels. - - - - Pics unrelated / Rock climbing a shear rock pillar in Tasmania

    Okay, I did work on servicing pinball machines during the mid 90's, I never did have any electrical degree, but I was trained quite well before starting and also had other experienced managers etc to ask if I got stuck. The bulk of pinball repair came down to fixing the effects of wear and tear...

    That outrun pinball was really cool. You used to get multiple balls going into the loop at the top that was supposed to be a supercharger belt. The balls would zing around at speed. Also the point of the game was to build up speed (car speed) and you'd change up the gears as you went. Really...

    Top 10 movies of 2012

    Interesting lists, gonna make an effort to see some of the films here. Hell I didn't even know there was a Dredd movie come out in 2012. Shows a) how much of a bubble I've been living in b) No TV ads for it so it didn't appear on my radar.

    The Hobbit

    I've already posted in this thread about having seen the movie, saw it in 2D conventional. To explain further, I think that 3D movies are a soon to be over gimmick. There are multiple cons against 3D, ie: the flicker in 24fps 3D, editing between shots of different visual depth, and...

    Do you sneak into movies?

    I never have snuck into a movie, back in my teen years ( when I might have been of that sort of mindset ) I lived in a large country town, which had one cinema that had one screen only, one of those old school 'big old hall' places. And as we'd all been going there since we were kids, with the...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I will approach this movie with caution. Mad Max II (Road warrior) is an absolute perfection of a movie. But then thunderdome was a step back, still had some good stuff but too much of a miss match of ideas, bartertown and then the kiddies at the waterhole. Both things had potential but never...
