  1. i feel like i've been raped in the back

     

    How d'you like the hot thrill of the stain up you?

     

    This bidding on players malarkey is a bit of a trial. Sukkaz keep outbidding me. :mad:

  2. is he still on sale? i just had a search using his stats but couldn't see him.

     

    i'll arrange another date for the away leg of the friendly as i'm playing the stain's team on tuesday.

     

    i fear a hattrick spanking tonight off the top side, they've been handing out 9-0s to all and sundry this season.

     

    Be afraid. I just played my first game and won comfortably. Amon Duul III will walk this league.

     

    See you at Stain Road.

  3. I think I enjoyed it a bit more than you but it is definitely more successful as a "clever" film, knowingly playing with themes that get post-modern film theorists in a flap. After the success of Dark Knight, Chris Nolan will hopefully have the money and freedom to make something really weird but a bit more emotionally involving, before the next batman flick.

     

    As a viewer who knows next to sod all about post-modern film theory, I thought it was both exciting and involving, on top of being clever. I'm fairly easy to please though.

  4. The Brothers Grimm - Entertaining Gilliam romp. The Brothers are portrayed as a pair of confidence tricksters, strolling round Europe charging money for killing trolls and witches. Inevitably thay come up against some real life fairy tale magic and dramatic madness ensues. It manages to handle being scary and slapstick, but is kind of let down by a couple of 'jarjar binks' characters that the plot didn't really call for. And the SFX are in many places dreadful. But it hits in enough of the right places to make it worth a go.

  5. Apparently, he's off to make sequels to all his hit films (I hope he can remember what they are because I cant)...

     

    Kickboxer and Blood Sport are the best ones. I liked the way he could be so acrobatic in a full-length overcoat.

     

    I just watched This Girl's Life. Well... I watched about half of it. Thouroughly modern woman juggles caring for her father, who has Parkinson's, with being a porn star. I'd tell you more but there's no point. The most boring film about ****ging since 9 Songs.

  6. Ohhh. Some reviews were great for this, others said it was Allo Allo with tits and fanny and human excrement.

     

    :D

     

    There are a lot more nuddie bits than required. I couldn't work out if this was down to the director's art-house roots or his mainstream fanny-fests, but no complaints from this viewer. It's exciting right to the end but sometimes lacks a bit in character depth, particularly the Nazis. And it uses that cheesy Saving Private Ryan style 'memories of those we've lost' bookend device. You'll see a lot worse films though; it's a better war film than for example the aforementioned Spielberg bore-a-thon.

  7. Black Book - Pretty decent Serious film by Paul Verhoeven (guaranteed tits!) about Nazi occupied Netherlands. Works well on a spy/resistance intrigue level, although it's hard to speak for its realism when he occasionally reverts to cartoon villain type. Well worth a watch though.

  8. What an absolutely amazing Superbowl, that had everything. It's a shame one of the teams had to lose, but there you go. A gripping encounter well worth today's tiredness!

     

    Sho'nuff. It was a proper ding dong and worth every minute of lost sleep.
