Shu Qi was whiny and annoying (I know she was playing a damsel).

I wasn't really talking about you. I imagine you've not been pestering Tom with pointless PMs.

I don't give a flying fuck if a 3-4 members have an issue with me and I don't mean being annoyed (like you) but the vindictive stuff. This is the Internet, we all say stuff we wouldn't say face to face, none it should be taken seriously.

Dude, being removed as a moderator happened 4 months ago. A life time as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, but I'd still have porked her. 8)

A masterpiece of deadpan comic acting. West was before his time and never got the praise due. Now he'd be Leslie Nielsen.

Well now he has his role on Family Guy

Hell yes. I wouldn't give it a second though. She's Hot!

Agreed.

Agreed Mark, I'd still do Shu Qi

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 18 Jul 2008, 14:27

No. You'd talk to her A LOT and then mope here once she went back to Taiwan.

Grim would apologise a lot first

Apologise for what now?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 19 Jul 2008, 13:41

You'd think of something, many things

The Orphanage - 4.5/5
All around a superb thriller which covers all the bases - excellent writing, cinematography, editing and direction; with a driving and entirely convincing performance from the main actress.

The film's story was entirely straight-forwardly told. I find it baffling that someone wouldn't fully understand the film after one viewing; honestly those individuals would have to be pretty fucking thick.

EDIT: I just went and read Brad's review of the film. Best laugh that I've had in recent memory.

The Dark Knight - 4.5/5
A near Masterpiece! Even though the third act drags on a bit, its every bit as good as it claims to be. Great movie!

District B-13 (aka Banlieue 13) - 3.5/5
Very entertaining! Short and sweet!

Dragon Wars -3/5
Better than Godzilla '98.

How does the film claim to be a masterpiece?

The Machinist: 4/5

It did a good job tension-wise, and the score was quite unique. Bale's a madman for losing that much weight for the film, he's skinnier than me in it!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 Jul 2008, 01:38

How much do you weigh? I wonder if I can beat you at 55.8Kg.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 21 Jul 2008, 01:45

I don't know because we don't own any scales, but last time I checked (which was a while ago), it was 9 and a half stone. I find it impossible to gain weight, no matter what I eat!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 Jul 2008, 12:43

More than me then (60Kg).

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 21 Jul 2008, 15:39

I watched THE MACHINIST last night on TV.

Wierd, but interesting. Or interesting, but wierd. I was fairly engrossed throughout, although it's tough to watch someone mentally unravel for 2hrs. Bale's performance was amazing.

One question: Who switched on the machine that almost chewed up Bale's arm?

Yikes. I just realised how much Bale in the film looks like Brad in his avatar.

Brad - go eat some fucking cheesecake and chips.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Jul 2008, 15:46

I thought it was that wierd "Ivan" guy, Bale's girlfriend's ex? I'm sure he features in it somewhere.

Death Wish (USA, 1974) – 3/5
Entertaining and thought provoking film. Doesn't make you want to visit NY, though.
