  1. Personally I'd love a Superman movie without Lois. She's never done it for me on the big screen, I think she embodies everything that is wrong with the feminist movement, always switching from independent woman to damsel in distress when it suits her. Bugs the hell out of me.

    Randomness

    Lime green T-shirt 'collars Mr Suave'
  3. What's wrong with wanting a book on pole dancing. I like that she (unless it was a he) is old school and learns through reading instead of watching an instructional video on the net
  4. Michael Weatherly is the one I thought might do some other stuff, but I guess if you're happy doing TV, why upset the apple cart.
  5. Haha, so true. Joel McHale is hilarious, mainly because he picks on E! as much as everyone else.
  6. Just based that off the rumour of Tom Hardy playing him, not much difference in age between the 2 actors is there?
  7. I'd love Kings short story The Long Walk to be made in to a movie. Apparently the guy that made The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and The Mist owns the rights to it.

    The news thread

    Sumo Wrestling was a chapter in the book Freakanomics and the authors found statistical proof that Sumo's actually do throw fights. It's because tournaments are based on a points system, and if a sumo qualifies for the next round with matches still to fight and comes up against someone they train with, in their 'stable', a friend, etc, they lose those matches a larger % of time then if they come up against those sumo's in earlier, points critical matches. Yeah, I'm a statistics and probability nerd
  9. Definitely. One of my fave eps of x-men evolution was the flashback to Logan and Steve fighting side by side.
  10. I see what he means about the comics him being more stocky looking, so I don't have that much of an issue with him beefing up some more. All a mute point though, as no one will look bigger than Thor, that guy is massive, christ.

    In my defense, I'm just as argumentative in real life with my friends

    What's your view on the Catholic church? Troubles in the middle east?
  13. My wallet which was lost, has now been returned by the very kind taxi driver. I'm still without all but the least accepted of my credit and debit cards, but I don't need to get a new license and I have all the keepsakes I've been carrying around in my wallet. Yay for kind hearted honest people.

    I'm right leaning, from a fiscal point of view, and I 100% agree with this. It's basically the GOP trying to impose their values through an economic back door.
  15. Oh I know I'm in the minority and it could be recency bias with TS3, but that one did get me more emotional than TS2. On the downside, I thought the bad guys of 2 and 3 were a bit too similar, but that's my only gripe. On the upside, I really enjoyed Buzz in 3 and thought he developed a lot more than the Woody character over the 3 movies, but I guess that is to be expected, as he is the newest to this toy reality.
  16. Just checked out some trailers, that game looks amazing, I'll definitely pick that up. I'm over the simulations and buying NBA Jam recently reminded me how much I love these over the top arcade games. Surprised about Kofi Kingston being on the roster, not really an All Star, but good on them for giving other lesser known talent a spot.
  17. Toy Story 2 is my least favourite of the trilogy, there are parts that are good, but overall I think it's the weakest.
  18. After Christoph Waltz, I thought Fassbender was the next best thing about Basterds, so I'm looking forward to seeing his Magneto. Will just have to forget the awesomeness that was Sir Ian Mckellen.
  19. It's sad society's attention span doesn't let us soak in really great movies anymore. I remember at the time a reviewer called The Incredible's, this generations kids Star Wars. Might be a tad over reaction, but shows how highly it was regarded at the time.
  20. Great read and kudos to you for attempting such an article. I'm looking forward to taking the journey on this one. I like Suaves idea about titling the articles.
  21. Think you're mixing him up with Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York. But I agree, the guy has some great credits in his CV, Prestige is another one.
  22. Left my wallet on the backseat of a taxi last night. Now I need to cancel all my cards, get a new license and cry over the $30 in it. But I'm more upset over all the little mementos I had in it from my recent holiday to Europe..
  23. If this was facebook, I would 'like' the shit out of that post!

    The Music Thread

    Our alternate/youth radio station Triple J is doing their annual 'Hottest 100' songs countdown. I rarely listen to the station nowadays but the songs aren't too bad at all for the most part.
