Re: Everyone seen it....except you
He's very good in Con Air, but the film is ridiculous & totally suits his OTT delivery.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Yeah, TOS is 70% hokum - but it was the start of something special. The original films (apart from V) were better. Probably best to check out the ten highest rated episodes and stick to those. When I did a binge several years ago, tbh I just went 'Nah' about 15 minutes into quite a few episodes and ...

Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!
My turn. 8-) 1. From Russia With Love 2. Casino Royale 3. Dr No 4. The Spy Who Loved Me 5. Licence To Kill Controversial opinions: 1. You Only Live Twice is a fucking awful film. Terribly directed, atrociously acted, sloppy & tiresome. Only Die Another Day is worse IMO. 2. For Your Eyes Only is just...

Fortunately, they've just promised to give full function to switch all AI elements off. So hopefully it won't have any impact in real terms.

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
Doctor Dolittle (1967) I loved this. It is so whimsical, so funny, so charming. It rarely puts a foot wrong (how it handles the female lead is a bit rubbish and a joke about cooking sausages next to a pig is way out of character), even when it features a tribe of spear wielding Africans its handled...

The rot set in 30 years ago when they didn't give Alan Partridge his 2nd series.

Re: Currently Reading
A series I have tried to get into on a few occasions now but have always put the first book down before the halfway point. Almost everything good in that book is in the 2nd half, so I can understand some frustration reading the first half. :lol: Some fans of the series even tell people to start wit...

Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson Getting back into my reading a bit more lately and these books have been a revelation, 10 of them in all. Erikson may not have the smoothest prose out there, some people struggle with the denseness, especially early on in the series - but boy is he a visio...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
It's why I only use Tracked 48 with signature for parcels, instead of regular tracked 48 when selling. Stops things getting nicked - it sometimes means a buyer has to arrange a redelivery or collect it if they're not in but it's worth it to ensure nothing happens to it. Postage costs are higher thou...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
Yeah, I always liked Red Heat. It's not perfect, but I think it's actually a better film than Raw Deal and Running Man. They're all kind of in that same grouping though, variations on the same 80s, cheesy, quotable nonsense. I'll happy sit and watch it if it pops up on TV in the evening. Can't say I...

Re: General Gaming News
BL2 was lightning in a bottle, so I don't think they'll ever find that again. All the locations/story events were memorable and it was just so much fun. It ran great at launch across all PC specs too. BL3 I completed, but they lost the plot with the story/characters/dialogue/locations. It was irrita...

Re: The Last Of Us
Finally got round to watching season 2, what a load of pish after the great first season. It's actually pissed me off at how poorly written it was compared to the first one.
Really, really peculiar follow-up that did absolutely nothing for me.

Re: Film analysis
Yeah, I've got a dark brown leather jacket I use in the winter/early spring - although it's a thicker, more modern looking one compared to those old-fashioned leather jackets. I couldn't care less whether it's in fashion or not. Besides, it still looks a million times better than all those anoraks a...

Re: Xbox Game Pass for PC
Funny you should mention Rogue Trader, it was going cheap on CD Keys for less than a tenner so I picked it up last week (I don't have Game Pass since I barely play much these days).
It's one of the few modern games my old PC can run smoothly.
Enjoying what I've played of it so far.

Re: I Just Watched (Films)
I actually prefer the theatrical cut of Fellowship (which is still overwhelmingly the best individual film of the trilogy IMO). It flows much better and the added scenes don't really change anything narratively. TTT is a no-brainer though, the extended edition fixes a whole bunch of problems with th...
