  1. We're not getting this in Australia, it's been banned. Stupid not having an 18+ rating for video games! God bless the internet. On the upside, the new Swingers game, WiiDare, has been approved for sale... WTF.
  2. It's a decent cast of support actors they're putting together. Is that because they are worried about having a lesser known as Superman?
  3. Agree with Jack, it's really nothing notable at all. Think about it. Computers always get smaller, faster and cheaper, so when a new version of something comes out, if the only difference is in those categories, then the company hasn't done anything exciting at all. But that is Apple's #1 strength, marketing. If it's a 3rd thinner, I would have kept it the same thickness and added a slide out keyboard, but that's just me, I like to touch type. Or added some hi def output ports like HDMI, etc.
  4. Oh you mean this crap that Hollywood is doing. Yeah I agree
  5. Ha, I was going to say Max, but I think that's only known to hardcore film nerds.
  6. The green grass and bushes is almost glowing, which makes it looks weird against the faded/pastel colouring of the sky and mansion. It's mainly a colour thing. If it wasn't photoshopped by a 12 year old, it would look good. In certain glances, I almost get a Pride and Prejudice feel from it.
  7. It's funny that although he was on SNL when it was huge in the 80s, and was one of the best stand up comedians also in the 80s, his legacy is going to be hosting the Oscars. I'd say he's just as well known for When Harry Met Sally, as much as the Oscars.
  8. The concept is good, but the look of the posters is really bad. Eriks is ok, but Charles is really badly done.
  9. I only saw the first one recently, and it hurt my eyes. Seriously, it was the worst example of the orange on blue tinting Hollywood seems to love the past few years.
  10. I am Number 4I was out and about and it was the next movie to start at the cinema nearest me, so I went to see it. I haven't read the book, but it was an ok movie. Timothy Olyphant is awesome in it, as usual, but the rest of the cast seem to be just going through the motions. I am still undecided on Dianna Agron, sometimes things she does seems effortless and sometimes it seems likes she's trying too hard. All in all I'd give the movie a 3/5, if only for some of the action scenes.

    Netflix

    And now is the time to begin shorting Netflix stock. They'll be paying a lot more for content in the future.

    Seriously if anyone got fired for looking at that site (from a nudity point of view, not a time wasting at work one), I would weep for the society they belong to. Really cool idea though, you could do that yourself with siblings as a present for your parents anniversary or 60th birthday.
  14. I'm really enjoying Jason Segel, sure Forgetting Sarah Marshal wasn't great, but I think he has a really good presence on the big screen. Maybe this is the beginning of the next phase of Cameron Diaz career, "edgy"
  15. Crap. Just found my old iPod, feature all the hits of my last relationship. Add music to letters and pictures for things to depress you about an ex
  16. Based on Batman Begins, I certainly hope that Luthor isn't in the mix for the villain.
  17. When will people learn, women are the cause of and solution to all of lifes problems But yeah, her running was just beyond lame.

    Haha, a friend of mine who is a teacher had a similar problem. Called the dad in to the school to discuss the kids constant swearing and the dad swore in his threats to the kid to smarten up.
  19. How would that fit in with the overall story arc Nolan has been creating for this Batman? Not disagreeing, just wondering what you think. I think Des was making a joke. Jokes, I get jokes... looks like the old sarcasm meter needs a tune up.
  20. Happy Birthday Mike. One year closer to being an old cranky bastard that talks about the youth of today!
  21. How would that fit in with the overall story arc Nolan has been creating for this Batman? Not disagreeing, just wondering what you think.
  22. I agree, I think his best work is as the simple values man (Tin Cup, Field of Dreams, etc).
  23. Watched Unknown with Liam Neeson on the weekend, was very enjoyable. Not sure if I was a fan of the ending or not, but some of the individual performances were quite good. January Jones was serviceable, but her character was one of the weakest so I won't judge her too harshly.
  24. Hi Guys, I've recently discovered a bit of a fascination with 80's film posters from the eastern bloc. There are some really out there stuff, but some of them are pretty cool. My question is, for anyone with experience on all things collectible and authentic, how do you know what you're buying, especially of the net? Some price ranges are crazy, between $30 to $400 and I don't want to pay high just for piece of mind. Is it best to look for sellers that are trusted and just stick to their wears or is there some way to check authenticity? Cheers
  25. Haha that's interesting and good on Disney for being happy to spend big.
