    Happy Birthday Yoda!

    Happy birthday!!! Mike, you're not old; you're..........mature...
  4. I'm honestly not certain how one should respond when you win a category and the two hosts simply laugh!!! Nice to have won a couple - I wish I was more regular but in a few weeks when my coursework is done, I'll be much more able to resume active duty. I even have designs on writing articles in my capacity as CBM correspondent. Oh, and yes, my voice is awesome! I think I wouldn't have won the second one if D-Dubs had done another 1 episode of C3 - that segment had so much more content than Comic Reel-ief. Congrats to everyone else who won. Btw, what programme do you use to have audio conversations across the net? I've heard this and then an Oratory podcast today and I'm fascinated!
  5. Aaron Eckhart is Harvey Dent/Two face! Yay!!!! ....well, that's the net opinion. I don't think I've seen a single film of his.
  6. That sums up my feelings perfectly.
  7. Still not a fan of the whole Uncle Ben Killer thingamy, but it's looking pretty sweet otherwise. I think we're going to need to set up a death pool for this one though. Who's with me?!
  8. That is just insane! How many times does the player die? No-one wants a push-over for a game, but that looked fucking impossible!
  9. The only good thing that involves Ja Rule is the fact that he was the basis for OG Loc in GTA:SA. Still, wouldn't it be fun to see Ja Rule being gorily slaughtered!? :devil:
  10. Awesome. The Muppets rule. I always thought Muppets Tonight was incredibly underrated, even as a 12 year-old!
  11. My views on this, from the Oratory For those of you who can't be arsed to read my response to Mav's view, Holmes is easily the most expendible of the cast of Batman Begins. I'm watching it again just to remind myself of how unintegral she was to that film (any excuse to watch it again!)
  12. Thanks slothian! There are a lot of horror films that do have depth. You just have to look for them, and only watch films made before the late 80s Stick around. In a couple of weeks I'll be covering Dawn of the Dead in much the same way and of course the other installments in the series to follow... I've made it plain through the show that I don't go looking for horror films as I'm an ultra-wimp - I'm not even sure what I was doing watching the original film! But yeah, the focus on gore for gore's sake particularly turns me off about modern horror films. For example, I can watch Tarrantino gore but not the Saw films. But by all means recommend better films to me from a bygone era in subsequent columns!
  13. I enjoyed this one quite a bit as well. Never thought about NOTLD in that way before - who'd have thought a horror film could have depth? Certainly no producer nowadays...
  14. It's just awkward going "I'm Ian Wilson and I....talk about....comic book....films....." really! I like the lack of feedback for shows sometimes - it means no-one's dickish enough to point out I said "Luthee" instead of Luther at one point! Here's me thinking comicbook readers were vocally picky! :happy:
  15. The potential of a Ghostbusters game on the Wii makes me too excited. Granted, on the off-chance it actually happens, it'll probably still be incredibly disappointing. Still, fingers *and* toes crossed. (Points for where that last quote comes from).
  16. Like what? There's less Anna Paquin in X2
  17. In that I'm running low on ideas, is 'Comic Reel-lief' cheesy enough for you all?
  18. Basically. I still refuse to call the first film mediocre, although I accept that it's a matter of personal preference. Personally, I was very fond of the first film. Then again, I am hopelessly infatuated with Anna Paquin, who had a substantial role in the first film.
  19. X-Men (the original) was not garbage. Granted, it wasn't as good as X2, but it was a good film in its own right and I will debate you to the death about that.
  20. Y'see, I think she's needed for continuity now. Xavier basically handed control of the institute to her so she's going to be there if the film is once more going to be based from the Academy. That stops her being useless, if not boring perhaps, and gives her a story if they play out the ending from after the credits.
  21. Here's a turn up for the books: I take back everything (well some things) I've said or implied about Berry regarding the X-Men franchise. That said, the tone seems to suggest that she enjoyed working under Ratner more than Singer and I'm hardly surprised as Storm had a much bigger role in X3. The fact that X3 wasn't as good as Singer's two installments though....... :happy:
  22. I'm compiling my ballot at the mo' - I'm just listening back on half the Shows.
  23. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news06/061215i.php So they'll kill Gwen in the fourth movie? Given Dunst's reluctance to keep doing them, I'm guessing they'll keep on with Gwen rather than MJ.
