  1. thats really phuqing lame super-weak
  2. In Bruges - decent enough comedy/thriller as two irish hit-men hide out in Bruges after a hit goes wrong. It boasts a few pleasant surprises and the violent scenes have some real oomph to them. The ending is a bit convoluted but hey, its worth a squirt. The Queen - gripping account of the horrible anus the Queen suffered in the after-math of Dianna's death. It’s a great family drama that neatly side-steps the hollywood clichés and has a nice line in dry and barbed british humour. Helen Mirren is amazing in the role, and even dressed as the queen, I still would. She's the MILF/GILF supreme. Flight of the Conchords - brilliant HBO comedy series, a bit like the mighty boosh played straight like the office/curb your enthusiasm and prone to big expensive fantasy sequences when the folk parody duo launch into song. Its very very silly indeed, and funny as f*ck.
  3. Yeah!!!!!!!!
  4. I've not heard such a performance from saints in years! Who wants to conga? Da-da-da-da-da-duh duh da- da-da-da-da-duh duh
  5. I think it hilarious that rascists bark on about how terrible immigration is and in the same breath pine for the days of the British Empire, without ever seeing how one resulted in the other. The retards.
  6. They are only playing the Winchester date you're welcome to pop along to that (that would be a pretty epic pop though, more of a bang really). You're welcome to bang along to that though (that sounds wrong now).
  7. Have they split? Futurheads - Futurheads. played it for the first time in years on Sunday and, apart from 1 or 2 tracks which would have been better off on an ep or b-side, it still sounds amazing. Clark - Body Riddle. Clark is my fave warp artist and maker of weird and wonderful electronica. I wasn't too blown away by this album when it came out a couple of years ago but after a long break I put it on and it sounded amazing. I've played it at least once a day for the last week or so and it keeps pushing all my buttons. Squarepusher - Go Plastic. Its as rude as. Fela Kuti - Zombie/LA sessions. Pure bliss from king of afro-beat and fearless political activist.
  8. Winchester showcases its alternative dance scene! Come and experience the Winchester's amazing dance music scene (including myself and the stain) as the Void vs Brap UK tour comes to a fantastically drunken climax at the Railway Inn on Saturday 29th November. The tour has been organised by outofthevoid.co.uk and brapfm.com to showcase the best young talent on the south coast and so far has stopped off in Soton, Portsmouth, Bristol and Brighton, raising loads of cash for charity. The headliners are JayetAl, Winchester's best live band, fresh from their first UK tour and festival dates in Eastern Europe (pictured below). They're about to start recording their second album so this will be their last live show until they emerge from the studio, pasty faced, confused and horny, in Spring 09. This two piece make a gloriously huge racket, mixing the math-rock of Battles and the grandeur of Signor Ros with the bleepy, beaty joy of Orbital and Plaid, check out their music - http://www.myspace.com/jayetal The rest of the evening will be an eclectic mix of dubstep, jungle, acid house, break-core, break-beat, electronica, hip hop, funk, afro-beat, jazz and current bun-core from Winchester's finest and hippest and moisted djs. Entrance is only £2 and once we've covered the cost of venue hire all the monies will go to Oxjam. Hurray! And although it is a charity event, I vow to thee that it will be so utterly debouched that your brain and liver will never talk to you again, just as you like it, and the music will have some real style and bite as you experience Winchester's cultural charms first hand. Void vs Brap - Saturday 29th November @ the Railway Inn, Winchester. £2 entry JayetAl (live) plus dj sets from rude_NHS, KILLblinton, klaus dinger, my name is not billy, Jeremy Waxman and more more more!!!
  9. He's a geni-arse, i love Lady Killers (remade very badly already) and Man in the White Suit. Unless they go for the alternative 'killing spree' ending as suggested by the simpsons. I freaking love this film, the first 90 minutes are some of the darkest Hollywood has ever produced, and it all balances out with the sugery sweet ending. Without the dark stuff though it would be unbareable.
  10. The Lives of Others Its basically 1984 + Fahrenheit 451 + The Conversation but set in East Germany yeah? Maybe not as gripping as it could have been but its always fascinating and the central performance of the surveillance drone who learns to live through 'the lives of others' is incredible. A slow-burning treat for anyone sick of formulaic cack. Deadwood - season 1 It’s a tv series but as we don't seem to have a tv tread… Kock-sucker, kunt-hood, kunt-lips, kunt-face, these are just some of the wonderful swear words to be heard. Its HBO's gritty 'real-life' western drama notable for its colourful language and Ian McShane's amazing performance as the Tony Soprano-ish central character who is 95% absolute kunt and 5% charming geezer. It starts quite slowly but by episode 4 it starts gaining the momentum to get you hooked. Hardly earth-shattering but very watchable and in keeping with HBO stuff, its got blood, nudity and people saying kock-sucker a lot. Its lesson is that American society was build on gambling, prostitution, heroin and racism. Lots and lots of lovely fresh racism. And unlike most American historical drama's, Deadwood doesn't downplay the fear and hatred of the foreign which has always been at the heart of the American psyche.
  11. I see Mark Beevers was selected, (ahem) regardless of what side you play for, there's nothing like watching Beevers really going for it and dribbling down the flanks
  12. 47. he makes my pee-pee-maker tingle (in a bad way)
  13. is does beg the question why Werner Herzog is a great director though, he recently did Rescue Dawn and Grizzly Man which are both worth a watch. but it does reek of Nic Cage wanting some more of that hot oscar action, oh yeah this is from imdb So, yes or no: Is Bad Lieutenant a project you're working on with Nicolas Cage? HERZOG: Yes, but its not a remake. It's like, for example, you wouldn't call a new James Bond movie a remake of the previous one — although the name of the bad lieutenant is a different one, and the story is completely different. It's very interesting because Nicolas Cage really wants to work with me, and just anticipating working with an actor of his caliber is just wonderful. Why this project, though? You could have worked on anything. HERZOG: There's an interesting screenplay; it's a very, very dark story. It's great because it seems to reflect a side of the collective psyche — sometimes there are just good times for film noir. They don't come out of nowhere. There was some sort of a mysterious context with the understanding of people in that particular time. And it's going to be in New Orleans, which is a fascinating place. Part of it was the decision of the producers for tax incentives — which is totally legitimate. However, I thought to myself: "We have seen a lot of New York in movies; we have not seen New Orleans in feature films." Or very few feature films. After Katrina it's a particularly interesting set-up. The neglect and politics after the hurricane struck are something quite amazing. It has to do with public morality. Speaking of which, the original film's director, Abel Ferrara, has vowed to fight this project, and — HERZOG: Wonderful, yes! Let him fight! He thinks I'm doing a remake.
  14. 28. He is David Cameron. 29. He drinks his own wee in order to stay young. 30. He spikes my drinks and touches my swimming custome area.
  15. The article is based on a fascinating programme on radio four last night on how the tax man is keeping all these teams afloat. They used the example of Luton who have gone into administration, and had all their debts paid by him taxman, three or four times in little over ten years. Asnd then each time they've over-spent on players and gone under again. They've got an unpaid tax bill of £2.5 million and when they asked the chairman if this would ever be paid he almost fell of his chair laughing. And also the w@nkers who trade in distressed businesses, like the guy who bought York City for £1, sold their ground and walked away with £400,000, leaving the club broken and homeless. They can do this twice before the FA will can intervene. So many big clubs in financial tatters, so many chairmen desperate to sell up and get out.
  16. it doesn't say c*nt, f*cking c*nt or c*nting f*ck what a c*nting waste of money
  17. As s_s is a fan of Casino I can safely recommend everything by Scorsese. Everyone has their different faves, for me its Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Last Temptation of Christ, but all of them are well worth owning and have several viewings in them. The King of Comedy is a case in point, when I first watched it I thought it was meh, 3 viewings later and its brilliantly funny and quietly disturbing. Also, anything by the Coen Brothers, apart from Ladykillers. plus Election (1999) The Limey (1999) Twenty Four Seven (1997) There Will Be Blood (2008 )
  18. Good luck with that, it’s a bit poo. My girlfriend hadn't seen Robocop before so she had the massive joy of seeing it for the first time on Saturday night. It really is one of the greatest action movies ever made and one of the very few 80s Hollywood films that attacked Reagan and Bush snr administration. So many brilliant lines, my faves are still, 'can you fly, bobby?', 'he's a cyborg, you idiot!' and '*****es, leave!' :badgrin::badgrin::badgrin:
  19. too true rude boy! :smt071(with a sensitive side) :smt052 i saw scotchegg as bestival, first with his crazy rock band and then a solo set of his gameboy stuff, awesome. And i caught a snatch of ****mat who was good fun. I've been digging Neu 1, Squarepusher - Go Plastic, Plone - For beginner piano, Captin Beefheart - Safe as Milk, Spacemen 3 - Recurring. All good essay writing soundtracks.
  20. Lest we forget Black Hawk Down. I'm not a fan of Ridley either, Alien and Blade Runner were brilliant but he's done nothing since that’s moved me. He's desperate for an oscar, apparently, which ammuses me. If you've not seen it, I recommend 21 Grams, it’s a very similar story line but done in a completely different way, and Three Burials… which is hilariously anti-American. And on the subject of 'Noooooooooooooooo' Speilberg wants to remake Oldboy with (wait for it) Will Smith. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/nov/07/spielberg-smith-oldboy-remake STOP! Hammer time!
  21. I hate to sound like I'm picking on your taste for the fun of it (but hey, this is an inter-net forum) but I think Tony Scott is an awful director, only capable of making adverts and painfully bland and reactionary films. Man on Fire is a case in point, people often say 'its shockingly racist but its really well made', well I think the first half is utterly tedious, a sugary-sweet, soft focus portrayal of Creasy being saved by the love of a little girl. And the second half is just plain nasty. Creasy is a freaking nut-job who should have been locked up in a mental asylum the moment he left the army. He sets fire to a club full of ravers, he conducts warfare on busy streets with no concern for civilian casualties, he tortures, sexually abuses, mutilates and murders his way through Mexico City. The racial ratio of the film is very clear, the life of an All American white girl = a black adult male = a countless number of treacherous filthy Mexicans. And considering it was released just after 9/11 and a year in the War in Iraq, it’s a shockingly pro-Bush piece of Hollywood fluff which argues that this deranged and unstable American who convinces himself he's blessed by God to dish out his retributive justice, that rationalizes the suspension of law in favour of raw violence against Disney like caricatures of Evil, including committing torture and murder. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran! Listen to his DVD commentary for a real hoot, 'As a painter and an artist, I approach each film like a canvas'. Dude, you make Michael Bay look like Michelangelo. Admit to yourself that you make bland trash for hicks and yah-hoos, its like someone who works in McDonalds calling themselves a chef. (I don't mean to slate your tastes, Roman, but I (clearly) have issues with this film. I've been bogged down for months trying to write a chapter for my dissertation on US revenge films, in particular, Man on Fire, 21 Grams and The three burials of Melquaides Estrada, all have their faults by I think MoF really is politically dangerous with all the emotional subtlety of a cruise missle at an Afghan wedding party)
  22. for money, its that simple I've not seen the original but I hear its very good. I saw the other day that Hollywood is remaking the seven samurai (again) but this time round the noble warriors who defend the village from bandits will be 'blackwater' style military contractors, undoubtedly slaughtering countless evil coloured people for a pot of cold hard cash. I want the bandits to win already.
  23. Both are very good but a bit ten years ago. It reminds me of all the amazing session MJHobbs had on the breezeblock, norman cook's first set for her sticks in the mind as a true great, i think it was the first time he played his renegade master remix. David Holmes did a couple of great sets for her, much better than any of his officially released cds. definitely, if you like that you may want to dabble with Kid 606's 'the f*cking mentalist brings you the jams' which is like 2MDJs but much faster and funnier.Planet_mu did a couple of really good and shockingly cheap mix cds with bucket loads of electronica and jungle. But when push comes to shove, I'd rather have a non-mixed compilation and then make the mix cd myself. Cos lets face it, 99% of dj's are tools.
  24. I utterly and categorically agree, a lot Jurassic Park is fun but seems rather hollow and bombastic compared to Westworld, which did the whole future theme park out of control thing so much better. Put Yul Brynner's Gunslinger up against a bunch of big cgi lizards and I know who my money's on. Its easy to forget that Michael Crichton was a decent director to boot.
  25. Its tragic that as America embraces progressive change, this country is sliding back into tory rule with the daily mail deciding what is and isn't suitable for us. We really are in a desperate state, labour and the libdems have gone out of their way to destroy their reputations. But saying that, I'd rather staple the old chap to a land mine than ever vote tory. Cameron is a joke, if you cant see that now then you will after you've voted him in.
