It felt like an over-the-top Mark Millar thing to do. "Hahaha, look at this kid's terrible life! Hahaha!"

Like a punchline to a joke that was a little too dark for me to laugh at.

As unrealistic as the movie's happy ending was, it gave a bit of levity and optimism that balanced the story's bleakness.

Just because Dave puts on a costume and gets the shit beat out of him doesn't make him less of a loser.

No, but the fact that he helped a few people in need and helped take down a major crime boss definitely do make him less of a loser.

I don't really think the comic was doing much aside from Millar giggling to himself because he got to put an insane amount of sex, violence, and swearing into a book filled with pessimism.

That's exactly what it was and the changes the movie made didn't improve it any.

Guys, guys, it's okay.

They both fucking sucked.

EDIT: And comparatively Darkplace has NOTHING on Boosh and the IT Crowd, but I still quite enjoy it. I have a feeling that Ian had a grasshopper boy die in front of him once.

I liked the concept of Darkplace but the guy playing Marenghi was so awful (at playing an awful writer turned actor) and the thing was so centred on him that it made it hard to fully get into. I do love the opening titles though.

Sudden Impact: The worst of the Dirty Harry films so far. This follows the same formula, but tries to take Harry out of his element, and at that point, the entire film falls apart, before coming to a crappy conclusion.

I've only got The Dead Pool left to see, and then I am finished with the Dirty Harry series.

Robin Hood (1973): This is the Disney animated film. I mostly like it, music wise it's a pretty great film. However, the ending leaves something to be desired, namely that we go from a chase scene to Robin Hood and Marian are married and King Richard is back. That and many of the character designs and bits of animation are kinda lifted wholesale from other Disney films. I dare you to watch this and The Jungle Book back to back and not mix up Little John with Baloo or Sir Hiss with Kaa or the Vulture Guards with the Vultures. A good film that was obviously made on a budget.

As someone who comes from the East Midlands (ie/ Robin Hood Country), I will not hear anything bad said against good Robin Hood films, which the Disney version most certainly is. In fairness Austen, you didn't Suave this film as there are admitted budgetary cutbacks, but if your biggest complaint is the somewhat convenient ending (for one thing, it's a DISNEY film!!!) then we're not going to fall out!! ^_^

That said, my blood boils at the inclusion of American Football........

Obviously I don't know your ex, but there are worse things than pursuing chivalry as a lifestyle choice! And Robin Hood was a hero of mine as a boy because he was from my area. When I was a young lad, no-one spun Robin Hood to me as a violent guerilla socialist who would rather destabilise the social order of Nottingham than seek his aims through legitimate political means - bear in mind Prince John eventually HAD to sign the Magna Carta!

But still, Robin Hood's teh awesome! He dresses in green and lives in a forest, living a life of adventure!!! Sign me up!!

Dragon: The Bruce Lee story Good, but nothing special is the best way I can describe the film. It is enjoyable, but the ending is just so well it just takes you out of the film, and taints your enjoyment of the film you'd just watched.

Edit: wrong film
