    People still use Yahoo!?
  2. How much budget would a web series get? That said, WB could actually lead the way with this thing, as the future will be all about content, more so than networks, websites, tablets, etc.
  3. Agree that Batman hoody is badass. Saw a guy on the tram with this t-shirt, thought it was cool. It's a t-shirt spoiling over a dozen movie endings, so look at it at your own risk. You would have seen most of them, but Harry Potter is on there, probably the most recent one, so I've hidden it.
  4. Boom Boom. Hathaway should be fantastic, is she a bit young though? I thought she was great in Devil Wears Prada as well, but also echo the Get Smart love.
  5. Watched a heap of movies on my recent tour of Europe, mainly on the plane flights over and back. I'll score out of five, even though I don't really think it's always the best option. The Expendables No where near as good as I was expecting, even when Sly was making fun of his age. Jet Li was good in the comedy type role of his, even if it was a bit racist. 2.5 stars out of 5. Toy Story 3 What a fantastic ending to the franchise, even if they left the door slightly ajar if they get greedy. Just a fantastic movie all round and deserves an Oscar nom for best movie. 5 out 5. Easy A I'm a self confessed Stanley Tucci fan, I loved every one of his scenes, even if in real life I'm yet to meet a kid that is well adjusted that had parents who were this 'cool' or open minded. I'll give the movie 3.5 stars out of 5. Dinner with Schmucks Just a really really bad movie. The actual dinner part was highly entertaining and if not for Zack Gal, I wouldn't give this movie more than 1 star. 2 out of 5. Wall Street Money Never Sleeps Second time for me watching this, thought I'd give it another chance, but was equally as bad the second time around. 2 out of 5. Sorcerers Apprentice People will pan me for this, but I actually thought this was quite enjoyable. Suited Nic Cages style and Al Molina was fantastic in it. And anything with Monica Belluci get's 1 star more. 3 out of 5, nearly 3.5. The American Pretty understated performance by Clooney and upon reflection this movie should have really dragged, but it didn't. It flowed really well. Not sure it's up for repeat viewing, but good tight performances. 3.5 out 5. In Bruges Great film. Totally not what I was expecting, but really enjoyable. Brendon Gleeson was fantastic, but like Harry Potter, Ralph Fiennes steals every scene he is in. Going with 4 out of 5 stars for this. Angels and Demons Will need to watch this again, as it was in Hungarian with English sub titles, but I think I prefered this over Da Vinci code. I thought Ewan McGregor was great in this. 3 out of 5 stars. The Other Guys Hilarious movie and I'm not really a fan of Will Ferrel these days. But Marky Marks straight man was pretty damn good and anything with Steve Coogan is gold. Solid 3.5 stars, nudging 4 out of 5. Salt Didn't really wanted to watch this, just wanted to see what the twist was, as you know it had to be something other than what the clip showed. Was ok, one of Leiv's lesser performances, but he's still in it, so I'll give it 2.5 out of 5.
  6. The Daily Mail's coverage Fantastic commentary on his performance. Like Gervais himself said, they should see his stand up, then they'd be really shocked. Which is kind of the whole point of this, Hollywood are such mindless drones that they picked him to host, just because he was hot, not actually looking in to his background. His stand up is way more offensive then any of those jokes he made the other night.
  7. Same as when Murdoch bought the EPL rights just so he could jack up the prices for Sky in England.
  8. What's wrong with an exclusive license? If we want video games to be treated like other media, then surely this is no different to selling TV rights? You can't make a WWE game without their permission, you can't make a Lego game without their permission, NFL is a licensed product, just like anything else, I really don't have a problem with this.
  9. I haven't seen it, but the only thing I think was too harsh was having a go at RDJ's earlier transgressions, he's made an effort to clean himself up, finally. But I have a rule in life that after 7 years I won't bring up anything as people shouldn't be picked on things that made them look foolish. Repeat offenders, hi Charlie Sheen, are currently fair game. All in all though, I agree that Hollywood is just precious. But if they remember, 12 months ago Gervais warned them. I can't rememember who's show he was on, maybe Conan, but the host told him he did a good job, everyone loved it, etc and Gervais said he wanted to shock more people so he didn't get asked back (half joking), then said he would try harder to offend more people next year.
  10. Hahaha, Zorro, nice. Merry Christmas everyone.
  11. Yeah, that same site has an article about John Cena wanting to take over the Batman franchise.
  12. He stated in an interview he decided to do the promotional circuit of Batman Begins with his Bruce Wayne accent, as he felt US audiences may resent a foreigner playing one of their iconic heroes.

    Wikileaks

    Haha, that's gold. What does everyone think of the online dating profile thing? At first I thought, no supporter of Wikileaks could complain without it being hypocritical. But if it was just the person who runs the site releasing it, isn't he ignoring his sites privacy T&C? Of course you could argue that Wikileaks is after 100% transparency, and that a reporter writing a story could find this info, which is true.
  14. Why the new Green Lantern movie looks so familiar I love cracked.com and this article is the perfect example why.
  15. This along with the combination of the Kratos exclusive is making it very hard for me not to buy this game. Has any heard what the actual gameplay is like, haha.
  16. Can't find the link, but yeah, the original article I saw indicated Kratos was the PS3 exclusive. It didn't mention the xbox one though, other than guessing that there would also be one for that.

    from a much bigger article about mistakes in the media at this website
  18. Damn you beat me to it, I was just coming to post that!
  19. I'd love Rock to have landed a really stiff punch on Diesel, but that probably didn't happen....
  20. Yeah that first long take is amazing. I didn't even notice until a friend pointed it out to me. Seriously, has Clive Owen made a bad film. And by bad I mean at the worst they are entertaining.
  21. Put in Spiderman Shattered Dimensions for a quick play on Saturday. Pretty fun, the voice casting of Neil Patrick Harris as Amazing Spiderman is fantastic. The animation and design is weird. Not bad weird, just not what I was expecting, but it feels very comic book ish, which is a good thing.
  22. Why do you hate Christmas Preston
  23. The good news is the costume doesn't look as dodgy as it did in the first images that were released.
  24. And one of the longest as well, I can't believe how much they packed in to it. Very much looking forward to this one.
  25. Haha, these are cracking me up, Dubs love the good time one, very nice.
