The last movie you saw...

[maxpayne2409]

idiocracy was awesome, is shooter that shit sniper film? coz that was about as interesting as piles quite frankly

[MyK]

Well, I said it's extremely hot here so my brains must be rather well done just about now. It's action packed and a true no brainer so it's a perfect match

[maxpayne2409]

if you want action and a no brainer watch something starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, certainly no brains anywhere close to his films

[MyK]

Not while I still have a few brain cells intact Wait a while and if it continues to be so hot I'll prolly get so moronic I'll even start to watch BBC early mornings Obviously, I'm not in my best shape lately so could we rather discuss how to chill beer? I heard there's a really fast way of achieving that with a fire extinguisher, right? Anybody tried that?

watching some eps of Brass Eye now, pud has heard of it aswell i believe

[dinky]

dirty pretty things. it wasn't nearly the movie I thought it was going to be. a bit disappointing. was alright. even good. but disappointing. it's very straightforward, both in narrative and theme (who's good and who's bad). I was expecting something closer heat or...last boy scout or really something deeper than those where the protagonist isn't just breaking the law bu swindling and taking advantage of people then he runs into the moral dilemma/crisis of conscience. in this movie, the protagonist is a paragon of virtue, and the bad guy is a caricature of the dude from rocky and bullwinkle, and then when you learn what the protagonist did that makes him a bad guy, it's laughable; he's completely innocent. with a great title like dirty pretty things...well...it was a bit wasted on this very clean movie.

[MyK]

I stopped watching Dirty Pretty Things after first 15 minutes... somehow, it just didn't look right so I rather put on something more interesting. Now I'm off for some TV series waiting for me... hope it won't kill the good mood I'm in for the moment... ReGenesis, and thanks to Max - Jekyll (should be good, watched a short preview and being a Moffat's child... well, anything less than awesome would be a disappointment), and... ta-da... Brass Eye

[MyK]

watching some eps of Brass Eye now, pud has heard of it aswell i believe

"Spud", not "pud" prolly but... watching first ep just now - ha ha... now I get it ROFLMAO

[maxpayne2409]

nah he's a big fat pud now with his uni beer belly.... maybe anyway

watched another couple of Brass Eye eps, glad you like it.

Got jekyll to watch later aswell, downloaded it, forgot i had and now im tired.

Watched the pilot ep of L'il Bush: Resident of The United States the other day, was pretty funny comedy central show, george bush is a youngster and hangs out with l'il cheyney, l'il condi and l'il rummy and gets into hilarious scrapes, it also has l'il hilary and l'il billy clinton, who's always seeing the lewinsky twins

[dinky]

are the twins her boobies or she actually has a sister?

[dinky]

an hour and 34 minutes into lord of war, and it just loops back to the beginning. ran it through vlc and wmp, both say the avi index is fuxxored. vlc is has been "fixing" it for the past 30 mins.

seems good so far. although how it ends will largely determine how good it is...so FRACK!

[maxpayne2409]

well in the series she has a twin sister lol, dno if she has in RL tho

yesterday i watched more south park (i put them on a loop you see, on my xbox since it supports recursive playing and random playlists).

however, i watched Micahael Moore's new documentary Sicko on Sunday night and I 'enjoyed' it in so far that you enjoy something on such a shameful subject. It was lightly informative, anacdotel and had the usual effective irony he loves to do (ie. going to guantanamo bay for free health care, or returning the bullets inside someone to walmart). Its quite weird watching how the us is essentially a third world country in terms of health care (a lack of a universal free health care pretty much qualifies a country as 'third world' if you ask me, in so far that in the vast majority of major industrialised and civil advanced/rich nations its unthinkable to refuse healthcare to the sick). But i don't want to get into the politics. I don't understand why people hate Michael Moore, he uses a lot of humour and irony, but then he's doing that to be humerous and ironic about a serious subject. Anyway...


I watched lifeforce at the weekend, i've never managed to get all the way through before and i realise i've seen bits of it thinking they were different movies. It feels like 3 different movies watching it, the space bit (cheap ass, should have been better and longer), the stalking / earth sequences (came off as bad cronenberg/thriller/whatever) and the apocalypse scenes (by far the best bit of the movie, although inherantly silly). Tobe is a bit of mystery to me as a director, Texas is brilliant, but i think there's validity to the claim speilberg directed significant portions of poltergeist when you look at tobe's other movies. So anyway, made it through it all the way. Doesn't quite hold together as a movie if you ask me. Had jean-luc picard of the starship university of huddersfield though, that's always good... welll nearly always good... sometimes

[spudthedestroyer]

palpatine on the phone with vader

That's S2 of Robot Chicken btw

[maxpayne2409]

oh jeez he's crying... ok vader it's ok, just come see me....... yeah.... i love you too

[dinky]

it is s2? that's weird. I'm sure I haven't seen one complete ep from s2. was there anything original in the special? besides the creators "hosting" the night.

it's weird. I totally agree about the third world country bit. I mean, hospital emergency rooms ARE required to treat anyone who comes in. but the system is ridiculously broken in every other aspect. people don't like moore in part cuz of conservative propoganda, but also cuz he's an annoying twit. I mean, he's the documentary film making equivalent of michael bay. and his "films" have gotten considerably more bombastic each time out. at least that's my take on him.

incidentally, I'm not sure if this is in sicko or not, but medicare and medicaid, the federal and state insurance programs that are supposed to cover the retired and the poor, are RIDICULOUSLY bureaucratic. I was lying in the hospital, practically on my death bed with tubes down to my stomach and a traich line in my throat, broken bones, punctured lung, etc., and my mom had to fill out over 50 pages of bullshit plus all the haggling with the case workers and trying to explain to them that I COULDN'T PROVIDE SHIT (see deathbed state). she had to take off two weeks from her own job just to file all the paperwork. and she worked for the state professional licensing agency. she knew more about how to maneuver within the system than most people. now wtf? how many people who DON'T have a mother taking 2 weeks off and already working with people who can tell her what to do don't get the social security and medical coverage that they're SUPPOSED to? third world is a compliment. to add insult to injury, when I finally got home, there was a $500 ambulance bill waiting for me. insurance doesn't cover emergency ambulatory service? wtf???

sorry. sore subject.

[maxpayne2409]

WTF you have to pay for the ambulance to actually come pick you up and take you to the hospital?????? that is insane, yet americans still think it's the greatest country in the world? where they only care if your alive if you can afford to pay to live

[dinky]

social darwinism.

well...we still throw away more food in one day than most africans see in a month. and the leisure industry is out control, it's so big. and the price for most things (at least that I buy) is considerably cheaper that UK or EU. and there is at least the illusion of democracy. and it's a heterogenius society, which makes socio-economic advancement at least appear</i> more realistic (at the end of the day, Marx & Engles kind of had that critique right - there's a ruling class and the people they step on to rule. but the illusion's the thing for every system). the country was founded, after all, on a shared desire to be free of foreign rule. so you can prolly see how we/they took the "freedom" thing and ran with it. but whatever.

been reading tales of the jedi comics (can't be arsed to read the novels). so far, I've finished the Golden Age of the Sith story. there are 6 issues but only one gimmick. they either wasted the first 3 issues or it was 3 issues too long cuz there's an amazing amount of filler for a medium as compact as comic books.

lord of war rip is fuct beyond repair. not that I tried very hard. dl a new hdtv rip.

[dinky]

nancy drew.

/me ducks!

I don't remember which, if she's julia roberts' daughter or niece, but she's a dead ringer for julia roberts facially. I think they played that up a bit with the make-up and styling and such too.

the movie was bleah. I don't remember ever reading a nancy drew story, but it felt like a kids' detective book sort of thing. also, I'm not sure how old the girl really is, but she's apparently portraying someone at least 16 (she drives a car and goes to HS). that looked weird, cuz by looking at her, I thought she was 12 or 13 at the most. and then...I don't know how old nancy drew is supposed to be.

nothing to add about the movie. it's a kiddy thing an adult would not wanna kill himself for having to sit through. ticket was free. I should mention there are only 12 movies showing this week (18 screens), and I've seen 7 of them...at least once. and mr brooks only shows 4 times a day, I want nothing to do with 1408 or hostel, evan almighty doesn't take the free passes. so my choices were nancy drew or surf's up. I went to the mall to eat, so timing dictated nancy drew. blah. what a silly way to decide what to do with my free time.

[maxpayne2409]

i've never seen or read or anything nancy drew, but even i know she is the female equivalent of the hardly boys, 2 young whippersnappers with a knack for solving crimes
