Again, X-Men is another franchise I never got into. As for the third one, I caught the last half on tv a while back and actually thought it played like a decent sci-fi action movie.

Yes, the sense of the era and it's climate was one of the strongest things about it.

Yes I enjoyed it immensely. As a political thriller, it pushes all the right buttons.

I've never really been a fan of any of the PotC movies. I had the first one given to me as a gift. It's fun enough I guess, but nothing to write home about. I saw the second one, which was basically just a longer version of the first one. I haven't seen part 3.

Guffaw! It's a funny old world. For me personally, The Dark Knight is one of the best films I've seen this year and it is certainly one of the very best superhero movies ever mounted. I couldn't give a crap about the original comic book iteration. I like Tim Burton's original two, good solid entertainment with nice throwaway plotlines but I do prefer the complexities and more mature feel of Nolan's Gotham City. Burton's versions were already pretty dark, but Chris Nolan's TDK is pitch black and brilliant for it.

That's true.

Yeah Joey, I um... know what an American prom is. What that has to do with the BBC Proms, I have absolutely no idea.

Typical bloody Americans with their lack of Historic understanding, especially when it isn't their own! Can't blame 'em for not having any history in the first place I suppose.

I'm surprised Suicide is Painless didn't make the top 10.

^Filthy begger! Not to worry, there's nowt wrong with the Germans.

Go on then, I'll give it a go. It'll do for when there's nowt on the box.

Yuck, get away with your horrid, unwashed Dutch version of YouTube!

Just a quick question: As a non-Trekkie, is Star Trek: Nemesis any good? I've not followed the series, but I really liked First Contact, since that was just a good sci-fi movie in it's own right. Basically, does one really have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy Nemesis? Because if so I won't bother 'getting' it. Cheers.

Not where I come from they don't. What is your town called? Mincerville?!

You're just jealous! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

Click. EDIT: It has already started. Stupid tv guide. If you haven't watched this annual British spectacle before, give it a try. You might like it Rule Britannia! :spiny: You just gotta love the music at 3:34 when the camera focuses on the Timpani!

Wanted was brilliant. The final shot of Freeman was flippin' hilarious! Jolie did look too scrawny though.

Waaa?... mutter, mumble..

Linky. It's airing in the UK on Channel 4 at 9pm. The host Justin Lee Collins is a VERY enthusiastic fan of all things eighties and he's just as enthusiastic when it comes to being the man charged with the task of hunting down the cast of tv shows and movies from the era, for a reunion party. He has done it with the cast of The A-Team and Dallas, both which were hilarious adventures with surprisingly good results - most of the crusty old actors, after being initially and visibly startled by Collins in your face approach, usually give in and agree to at least give an interview, with some even agreeing to the reunion. But the main reason to watch these shows is to see how crazy the man can be and just how determined in his mission he so recklessly is! It's Star Wars, the tv spot promises a few new revelations and if the A-Team episode is anything to go by, then this is highly recommended entertainment.

I love BTTF II & III, it's a great trilogy 100% un-spoiled.

It's what keeps us loons from leaving!

You lost me at hello... That opening line was perfectly deliberate, btw.

I meant to mention that I'd watched Rear Window for the first time a couple of works ago. I enjoyed it a lot and you have to marvel at the superb technical achievement it is, but the climax left me somewhat disappointed. It seemed the plot was building to a brilliant twist, but it didn't happen and the feeling was a little deflating, especially after the very entertaining (with brilliant scripting) events of the rest of the movie. The unintentionally hilarious gimmick of the 'flash photography' in the closing moments didn't help either; the scene was probably very effective and tense back in the day, but 50 years later its kinda laughable, in the way that the dream sequences of the amazing Vertigo are. 4/5

Hmm, perhaps 'ruined' is too strong a word. I can still watch and enjoy The Matrix, but I tend to look at it is just one movie, without it's sequels. Knowing that the story took a dive in part two does take some of the sparkle away from its original magic.

Mine?
