  1. Sam Jackson as a WWII Japanese pilot? Thats typecasting if ever saw it.
  2. I didn't even think they were related. Happy Birthday.
  3. Yoda, the board isn't working again. Nevermind.
  4. My god, that was brilliant. The voices alone were spot-on.
  5. I've just subscribed to this these last couple of days, and I'm listening to an episode you've appeared upon! Props, sir! Twas a proud moment, I'll not deny it.
  6. I/m sorry, god that sucks. What was the company? edit: Wasn't Virgin media was it?
  7. Its like Superman meets The Conversation Vanilla Sky
  8. It's like The Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla. The Last Starfighter Its like Wargames meets Star Wars The Departed
  9. My english on the internet is completely subject to a stream of consciousness method. My english in person is a lot better. My english in text messages is perfect. My problem is that I'm very informed by whatever I've been watching or whoever I've been talking to. After a couple of seasons of The Wire I'm all ebonics. After a week working with out site engineers I'm completely Bristolian. In all honestly I exaggerate my Englishness when it suits me, similar to Slothian I've got the middle-class intellectual confidence going on and I'm not adverse to making myself sound the way I think will get the best reaction or fit in most comfortably.
  10. Its like Bring it On meets The Fully Monty but at Disney. Cloverfield
  11. YES!!!! Fuckin' A!!! I'm totally psyched to see London back in ROH, he's the original breakout star from that group. Its going to be a big boost to the original fanbase that might have been falling away after recent events.
  12. Ok, so the first person names a film and the next person to answer describes it as one film/tv/whatever meets another. Then they suggest the next film. So if I say Quantum of Solace the next person would say "Its like License to Kill meets The Bourne Supremacy". I'll start with something real easy- The Dark Knight.
  13. It was Bourne Supremacy meets License to Kill. I liked it a lot.
  14. Picked up Empire in the bargain trade section of my comics shop for 99p. It was fun, perhaps not quite what you guys made of it but certainly worth my money at that price. I'm a fan of the Waid/Kitson Legion so I pretty much knew what to expect, but the promise of the premise was never quite fulfilled in the way I expect these high concept comics to be.
  15. There is almost no consistency to Who and a lot of it plays out in a style that makes you wonder if genuine action in TV shows is completely beyond the British. Its not, but you'd never know it. I love the great stuff as much as anyone, but theres a lot of trash in that show as well. Not as much as Torchwood though. Torchwood can go suck a dick, which is apparently what it wanted to do all along anyway.
  16. You forget he wrote almost all the episodes of the greatest sci-fi series ever. Third rate, sorry. The full scale goes- First Rate: Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Firefly Second rate: Red Dwarf, Current Dr Who Third Rate: Babylon 5 Fourth Rate: Stargate in all its incarnations Bowels of hell's most putrid offering: Andromeda
  17. Worse than Braveheart, you mean? I'll see your Braveheart (reluctantly) an raise you a U-571.
  18. I just finished the first season of Enthourage. Fun little dramady show, I wish more shows that weren't outright sitcoms were half hour long. I'm looking forward to the next season.
  19. He wrote the upcoming film Changling, thats supposed be fantastic.
  20. "Look at me, I'm James. I have genuine talents that others can appreciate". I am proud of just one picture I have ever drawn in my life, and thats a portrait of a drunk person done by me when I was similarly drunk. Its so much better than anything I ever did in art class at school.
  21. I have faith. Faith of the heart.
  22. What is the fucking appeal of Morgan Freeman?! He's awesome, thats the appeal. If you don't like Morgan Freeman you might as well hate puppies and sunshine.
  23. Oh hells no. I won't have them screwing with the one DC character I actually care about. But thats the thing, go from Kevin Smiths run onwards cutting out some of the characters too big for the show and have the big mystery be where Ollie has been since his reported death. Street level hero complete with his son, sidekick, on/off girlfriend and a great selection of villians both costumed and not. This would be a great show, not teen orientated but prime-time targeted. I'm not talking about Smallvilles weak-ass compound bow nancy boy getting his own show.
  24. :laugh: We haven't even reached Schumacher yet! Yeah well, Mike didn't like Sandman either. The man has problems, not least of which is his sado-masocistic addiction to Saw films.
  25. I'm not saying that Superrman Returns was a great and universally loved film, but Smallville had fuck-all to do with its lacklustre boxoffice.
