  1. There isn't anything about those spoilers that I don't like.
  2. Re: Bond. That chase scene at the start is a fantastic introduction to the Bond character. He's chasing a parkour expert, yet keeps up with him through his wits and at some times, brute force. Plus, it's the sequence I always show people to encourage them to buy a blu-ray and hi def TV. The crane sequence is amazing.
  3. To be frank, they stuffed up First Class by blowing their load on the Magneto turn too early. So I've never been that excited about the sequels as it seems they are hell bent on cramming too much in to them.
  4. I still say Dalton's portrayal of Bond is one of the better ones, not his movies, but his actual take on Bond.
  5. Neither of the doctors were strong characters. Crusher felt like she had to be the mother of the entire crew just because her son was one of them. And Pulaski annoyed me mainly because of her Data is a machine comments.
  6. Extremely NSFW - Movie 43 Red Band Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9OTiI0vXi0 I'm without words...
  7. I don't think it's that good. Weakest of the Craig Bond songs, as far as Bond themes go. It might be good technically, but as something that you immediately recognise as a Bond movie theme, it fails pretty miserably. That all being said, maybe it fits with the tone of the movie really well, and I'll eat my words.
  8. Bah, I was hoping the Adele rumours weren't true when I first heard them.
  9. Agree would love to see world wide figures and inflation adjusted, Or even maybe the last 10 years of something. That being said, it is pretty interesting, if for no other reason than to show DC movies really only has 2 properties worth a damn.

    The news thread

    Just read that Onion post, hilarious. Anyone who wants a comical look at Islamic extremism, check out the very underrated movie, Four Lions, about a group of British Muslims planning a suicide bombing.
  11. Kinda like a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sort of thing, with all the different types of video game characters, Is this Pixar, or just Disney? Or now that everything is under Lasseter's management, it doesn't really matter?
  12. As an observer, this draft is one of the most entertaining things I've seen on the internet this year.
  13. I think it looks pretty fun. I like the idea of the premise, it just comes down to the execution. But the people they have attracted to it gives me hope.
  14. Anyone that has seen Pacific Heights knows Keaton can play an awesome evil bastard. Still disappointed but, not as much.
  15. That's a bummer, I was looking forward to him being an evil corporate bastard!
  16. 10 Reasons the Next Batman Movie Should be Batman Beyond 2. You know they're going to want a younger Batman, and this is an actually cool way to do it. 9. The snarktastic relationship between Bruce and Terry deserves to be brought back I'd love a Batman Beyond movie, my only issue with it is that people might think of it as a continuance of the Nolanverse. Think of the awesome actors over 60 you could tempt with the role of mentor Bruce Wayne. Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, Ed Harris, Frank Langella or someone like David Morse.

    TV Upgrade Help

    Not sure if it's still the case, but the Samsungs used to have a gloss finish on their glass, which kinda annoyed me. It's why I went for a Sony over a Samsung last time, as the matt finish means you see less reflection in the glass.

    RIP Tony Scott

    I can't believe that someone is shopping around footage of him jumping. Just makes me sick. And not even the shopping around bit. If you see someone climbing on a bridge, how is your first reaction to pull out your phone and film it. Really, is that where we've arrived as a society? If people haven't already, give Edgar Wrights Blog a read for some great insights in to Tony Scott.
  19. What is your favourite 30 for 30 ? I've only seen about 6 or 8 of them but I think on the whole most of them are amazing. Once Brothers I could watch over and over again, and could easily be a feature in high school history classes about the breakdown of the former Yugoslavia.
  20. Hahaha, nice pic, made me laugh. Maybe I should borrow my friends telescope. I've got to make sure my stupid pride doesn't get in the way and just let people help me!
