  1. Yeah! Badass! Whooo! I don't work out, but those songs rule.
  2. Carpool In this AMAZING movie, Tom Arnold is a loveable twat with a carnival in his garage OR WHATEVER. The script is below-average, and the car chases will fill you WITH ANNOYING. But, I was able to watch for 90 mins without wanting to switch-off, so I guess that counts for something. And there's an OLD LADY with a GUN, which is an unexpected character trait, and thus the funniest thing I've EVER SEEN EVER. Score: 3/10 The Big Tease Wowowowow, it's a gay hairdresser, and he's FLAMBOYANT and WACKY. Craig Ferguson plays this cliched-ass role with all the relish of an actor who knows he's playing a cliched-ass role. Saw this movie a week ago, and now I can't remember any of the scenes. But meh, it's not TOO bad, just not very funny, and it cliches towards its predictable conclusion without anything of note, meh meh meh. Score: 4/10
  3. Murder on the Orient Express Book adaptation, obviously. All star cast (Finney, Bergman, Connery, Perkins), but it just felt a little 'meh'. The murder scene lacked punch, though that was to be expected from a PG, I guess. And, having read the book, the ending had very little effect on me. Not bad, some stellar performances, but most of it just felt like a trundle, and a trundle to a conclusion I already knew. Score: 5/10 The Party One of Peter Sellers' slightly less-well-known films. Pretty decent. However, a lot of the humour is just clumsy slapstick, without the good dialogue to back it up. Has its moments, and also, due to the fact that it takes place in pretty much one scene, a good concept. Misses more often than it hits, but worth a look. Score: 5.5 Vertigo Probably not Hitchcock's most famous film, and probably not his best, despite the fact that it's excellent. An intriguing premise, bolstered by a great performance from Hitchcock favourite Jimmy Stewart (even though many criticised this choice, I think it works very well) and a pretty good one from Kim Nowak. Uses dramatic irony to good effect, a perfect example of Hitchcock's 'suspense over surprise' philosophy. Gets a little boring after Magdaline's death. Score: 9/10 Magnolia This was a recipient of rave reviews upon release, but still made a loss (which is a big surprise considering its slender budget). One of the reasons for this is that it's epic, without being 'an Epic' in the sense of, say, Titanic or The Godfather. It's essentially a three-hour long 'talky drama'. However, it lives up to the hype - a sensational film. Tells the story of several seemingly unconnected people, whose lives become inter-twined through a cocktail of fate, chance, and co-incidence. Themes like guilt, regret, love, shame, and fratured relationships are explored. Is highlighted by a pair of unusual scenes -- the first a scene which sees the main characters all sing parts of the song 'Wise Up' by Aimee Lee. The second, and more bizarre, sees a freak rain of frogs hit the area (where was this film set? I can't remember ). Both scenes seem rather weird, but are merely devices used to highlight how the random individuals are brought together. Some great peformances from Tom Cruise, William H Macy, and That Dude Who Plays The Old Guy. An edgy, uneasy, compelling film, that is almost impossible to explain to someone who hasn't seen it. Score : 9/10 Blues Brothers Decent enough comedy. The dialogue is rarely anything beyond average, but the car chase scenes are in turn exciting and hilarious (as they descend into complete over-blown self-parody at the end). Akroyd is whatever, but turns in a better performance than in 'Coneheads' (though, how hard could that be?). Cameo John Candy provides a cameo, thus re-uniting that Candy-Akroyd golden partnership of comedy, last seen in classic 'The Great Outdoors'. ¬_¬. Well, last seen in decent movie 'The Great Outdoors'. Boasts a whole shitload of big star cameos (Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles) to enforce the idea that this is a film about MUSIC, SIR, not kumquats or snakes or whatever...MUSIC. Score: 6/10 Coming Soon: 'Carpool' with Tom Arnold. ARE THERE ENOUGH NUMBERS TO GIVE TO THIS FILM OUT OF TEN? I DO NOT KNOW! ¬_¬ And maybe: 'Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf', 'Deliverance', 'Rear Window', 'American Pie 3' or whatever, I don't know. Some films, anyway.
  4. The version of Monster Rancher where you could make a monster based on a CD kicked all kinds of ass. Unfortunately, all of mine sucked. Punk is discriminated against.
  5. I was watching BBC all the way 'till the end, but I flicked onto ITV for the very last minute, just to see how they would announce the victory, because Motson would just do something like 'there it is' or 'gosh golly, who'd a-thought it'?
  6. Did anyone else think that the ITV commentator rather wasted his opportunity to be dramatic. "Greece...is...the word". That's bollocks, is that.
  7. OH...MY...GOD. I love Marlon Brando so much (as an actor). R.I.P. to one of the greatest.
  8. I have a love-hate relationship with 'Oh No! A Radio on my Head'. They're good but in an annoying kind of way. However, all my friends are Radiohead fans, so it would be problematic if I really hated them. And Thom Yorke has an annoying face.
  9. Boston in the AL East. Boooooo. Move Mass west a few hundred km, and then see how the curse stands up. .
  10. 1993 (Age 5): The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Bob Marley, Black Uhuru. THANKS, DAD!!!! :thumbs-up: ... ... Second Half 1999 (Age 11): Eminem, Dr.Dre. My horrible rap phaze, dawg. First Half 2000 (Age 12): Slipknot, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit. Terrible nu-metal phase. Quickly over. Second Half 2000 (Age 12): Goldfinger, Blink 182, Toploader. Pop-Punk and Indie. Meh. 2001 (Age 13): The Clash, Pennywise, Capdown, Sex Pistols, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Catch 22, Dropkick Murphys. Punk-ish stuff mixed with a horrible and inexpliacable like for ska. 2002 (Age 14): [same Bands] + Billy Bragg, Rancid, The Jam, Bad Brains, Lars & The Bastards, Dead Kennedys, Operation Ivy, TSOL, Nirvana 2003 (Age 15): [similar Bands Minus The Ska] + The Strokes, Adequate Seven, The Descendents, The Ataris (!!!!????), The Gorrila Biscuits, Warsawpack, Refused Early 2004 (Age 16): [same Bands Minus The Ataris] + Angry Samoans, The Adolescents + Pearl Jam (!!!???), The Libertines, Black Flag, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Million Dead, Radiohead (!!!???), At the Drive in. Pixies, The Smiths. RIGHT NOW (Age 16): Million Dead, Agent Orange, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Circle Jerks, New York Dolls, The Ordinary Boys, Bloc Party, Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros, Kasabian, Mission of Burma, Gang of Four, Sonic Youth, Dead Boys, The Velvet Underground. The Vibrators. But some bands from my 'older' period I still listen to. Bad Brains, TSOL, Capdown, Adequate Seven. I can still listen to those bands. Also some bands have never been part of an 'era' although I have their CD or MP3s. Mars Volta, Sparta, Stiff Little Fingers, The Damned and Joy Division to name a few. Normally I have a set of five-ten bands I listen to for a month, burn a CD of their stuff, then move on. Going through old comp CDs is great nostalgia.
  11. Adequaaaaaaaaaaaaate Seven. Yes, they're good. I've seen them live a few times. Their trombonist has an afro. That has to count for something.
  12. Propaghandi are assholes New York Dolls The Clash Refused International Noise Conspiracy
  13. Dead Boys (first album and 'Ain't it Fun') Angry Samoans Richard Hell & The Voidoids Minor Threat Bad Brains The Clash Million Dead TSOL Agent Orange Anything from those artists.
  14. Manager Stokerino rocks! I'm currently playing as all 20 Premiership clubs. I guess I'm a control freak. Chelsea are top, Man U second. I also have a game with Australia because being them is so easy and loads of fun. Vanuatu? Somoa? No problem, sir.
  15. Oh well. Want to have gay, boobless sex?
  16. Invalid Litter Dept. is just about one isolated incident though. It's one particular case where there have been a large number of murders of women in a particular Mexican factory. I'd say it's too esoteric to be truly socio-political, but it's still a great song. Basically, if it's good then fine. Stuff like the vague, st00pid liberalism of most Stiff Little Fingers just sounds like self-parody a lot of the time. Political songs are hard to enjoy, although The Clash 'Spanish Bombs' and The Jam 'Start!' both do it well. I just hate politics, so, you know... Social commentary is both easier to perform and enjoy, and most of the bands I really like show elements of it. Million Dead, Richard Hell, The Clash, Bad Brains etc. I care more about social issues than politics. Most political bands like RATM, SOAD and so on, I just can't stand. If you see me wearing a NOFX 'Not My President' shirt, kill me. We get it -- Bush ain't great. Go away now.

  18. Nazipunk is cool. I got into an angry argument about liking it with someone today. It was very angry.
  19. Ed Norton as...the guy he plays...in American History X.

  21. The Twelve Labours of Hercule by Agatha Christie. No idea why. Poirot solves a crime, then eleven more. Yay!
  22. The only good thing he's ever done was getting rid of Oqendo. If there's anyone worse than Ruiz, it's Oqendo.
  23. I was using the chorus of a popular rap musical song to make a witty comment on the fighting style of John Ruiz.
