MDB was a good enough film but not something I'd watch again.

Fair enough then.

And your point is? You're quoted to entirely different conversations.

Go on, knock yourself out.

I was just laughing at the fact that you point out Grim is repeating himself, and at the same time you're using the phrase "I'm not surprised" in two threads within two minutes.

Oh, you're an hilarious Gent.

p.s - I wasn't being serous, did you miss the wink?

all the credit goes to you

Nope, but if you turned it into a joke on purpose then all the credit to you. But that would suprise me.

Forgive me. I used to make fun of Swedes. But now I'm living in a town that is half full of Swedes and I'm scared for my life. So I need to make fun of you instead.

X-MEN BD 3.5/5

Solid first film in the series,a bit of a slow burner and a little lacking in the action stakes but very well made.how faithful to the comic i haven't a clue,i've never read them

X-MEN 2 3.5/5

This film has a great first half but then loses it's way somewhat,the climax is too long and overblown but the film on a whole is again very good.

X-MEN-The Last Stand 3/5

This was pretty much disliked but on a 2nd viewing i found it decent enough,fast paced throughout,so much so it feels rushed in places.

Batman Returns 3/5

Decent follow up though i found the original to be superior,a great cast but the plot is so weak.some great set design and i still think Keaton is a better Batman than Bale

Final Destination BD 2.5/5

So-So teen horror,has an interesting if totally contrived plot,unfortunately the lead Devon Sawa is totally uncharismatic in the lead role.Ali Larter is good though

I had Sir Ian McKellan spit chewed up carrot in my face yesterday

all the time I was thinking It's Gandalf! Its Magnetto!

I wanted to just shout out thanks Gandalf.

Wierdest Bullets sentence ever.

Well it was a strange thing to happen

How often can you say a Sir spat out a piece of carrot, and it bounced off your face

made my day.

Wait... someone spits a carrot in your face and you don't shoot him in the face!? Where the fuck are your principles, man!?

I could not shoot a Sir in the face, or they would hang me

it was only a tiny piece, but still what next!

Tom Cruise jizzing in my face!

The Devil’s Rejects (USA, 2005) – 3/5
Natural Born White Trash. Rob Zombie’s rollercoaster of opposites. While being endlessly disturbing, the film is also very funny, creating a weird and sometimes even unpleasant mix. Similarly the 'good – evil' setting is used to kick the viewer in the face. Zombie first presents us the most disgusting serial killers whose every crime is shown in graphic detail, chased by a religious cop with whom the audience can identify with, and then turns it upside down by making the human monsters victims and the vigilante policeman a bloodthirsty beast. The final scene where the killers, now symbols of freedom, ride to the sunrise and to their death like the last cowboys is easily one of the best endings seen in movies during the past 10 years.

Which Theatre Royal? There are many. I have one in my city in fact.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 27 Apr 2009, 18:40

Newcastle

a performance of Waiting for Godot, lets say they raked in some BIG cash! every showing sold out, cost plenty to get it. They must easily have made hundreds of thousands.

Not my thing, but hey who can pass up seeing Captain Jean Luc Picard and Gandalf together

and getting a bit of carrot in my face

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Apr 2009, 19:07

Cool. I'm surprised you went, if it wasn't your thing. They've performed together down here near me too. I didn't go, not my thing.

Although I'd definitely be up for seeing either/both of them live. They must have very commanding voices.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 27 Apr 2009, 19:39

I am not into theatre, the show was just worth seeing for them. If they were not in it, I would never have went

An odd show, as McKellen did a lot of spitting, he even spat in the face (full force a massive glob of spit like a shower!) of another actor! nasty stuff. Was not expecting that. I was front row, so the voices were perfect, no idea how anyone at the very back could hear a lot of the lower parts. I am suprised they would even see who it was on the stage from the back.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Apr 2009, 21:06

Now you mention it. I remember seeing something on the news about his character being a bit of a spitter.

I much prefer cinema/live music too but on occasion like the theatre. I'm going soon in fact. Just a local show.
