Chasing Lamely

Did they ever make a proper 3D Bomberman?

Get a ring on her finger, quick.

Don't let her hear you, or she'll start showing me rings she likes again... >_<

Are you spending any time with the girlfriend at all? >_>

She's sitting next to me. I play FM, she reads, we both watch DS9. It works.

Yeah. I signed three argies, bu tthey couldn't get work permits. So I was going to loan them out to my Belgian feeder club for a year to get them citizenship. And the fuckers didn't want to go.

The City Center, obviously, is quite the concrete jungle. But.. so are most cities. My point is, venturing to the outskirts is a nice trip.

As much as I love Jeff Stelling, it's lame how funny they find the mispronunciation of a player's name.

Video game violence encourages real life violence? If anything it's the exact opposite. Playing violent video games is a good way to relax and blow off steam. A good way to calm you down. At least it does for me.

I just don't understand your arguement and it's obvious, looking at your comment about Schindler's List, that you seem to dislike a lot of very good movies so I really can't respect your opinion on this matter very much. Anyways, unless anyone else has anything to add about the movie I'm done trying to make and sense of your arguement.

I don't seem to get this. I haven't followed the argument, but to say that you won't listen to someone or respect thier opinion because they don't like the same films as you is a little...meh. Whether his argument stands up outside of that, I don't really care. It's subjective, and at least he gave a reason as to why he didn't like it. I also can understand why he (and the other people I know who don't like it) doesn't like Requiem For A Dream, and it does indeed seem to have a huge fan boy base.

Also, unless I've read something totally wrong, some of you seem to miss the concept of auteurship. Actually...re-reading it...I don't get what the point was at all >_>

I don't know... you'd get more sense out of Warrior than Bush.

I don't think I've ever used a sweeper. I've only got one in my squad as it is, and he's better in the midfield..

Next year probably won't be my problem anyway, I'm pretty much unemployed at the end of the season. 3 months between games (Y)

What do you do when two big signings are failing to score?

I've bought Tevez and Michael Owen for about £38m combined, and they have scored about 3 goals in the Premiership between them. Tevez has scored twice in 16 appearances, where as Owen has scored 1 in 8.

Lucky enough Darren Bent has been amazing, just like last season and he's clearly going to be my top goal scorer this season.

Yeah, and did I say I'm Reading with a fantastic new Arabian owner with plenty of money?

You measue achievement as an auteur by your box office. Name one big name director who hasn't broken 20 mil? Fuck, even Christopher Nolan broke 20 mil, and Batman Begins is the only movie he#'s ever made that made any sense.

He isn't a big name director in that context, though, but just because he isn't a big name doesn't change the fact that he is an auteur. Even non big names have beloved films...

And by your definition of auteur, then that means Chris Stokes (You Got Served), Pitof (Catwoman), and William Brent Bell (Stay Alive) must be fucking auteurs while John Waters (who I'll admit isn't the best example here, but Serial Mom is a pretty damn great film), Pedro Almondovar, and Alejandro Innaritu (though, I'm uncertain is Babel has not broken $20 million) are not.

However, all auteur even means is that the personal vision of a director comes out in their work, and in the case of Aronofsky, it most certainly does.

My game gets worse and worse. I'm still with Sheff Utd in the premiership (Third season) having just got them back up again. At the end of September, I was fourth. I'm at the end of January now. And I'm 20th. 5 points adrift and counting. My team simply cannot win. I made a load of signings in the window to try and turn things around, and despite some good players coming in, it's not turning things around. And this is a squad that has Giggs, Makalele and Pires unable to get a game. Well, Pires makes the od sub appearance, but he rarely makes the bench.

Any ideas how I can motivate these fuckwits back into performing. Everyone (except my newest loan signing) has poor or very poor morale. I even set up games with the reserves, youth team and a tour of Aruba (In which they won each game comfortably 4-0+) and still no luck sorting out their morale. If you take a team on a paid holiday to Aruba and they still aren't interested, what the hell else can you do?

What tactics are you using and what are you telling your teams before the games?

I was using 4-4-2A but it stopped working, so I switched to a 5-3-2, which never took with my side so I moved on to 4-3-1-2 and still nothing. I even tried 4-5-1 for a while, but they aren't responding to any changes I make. Currently I'm using a 4-1-4-1 and it looked promising, I held Newcastle to just 1-0 and Liverpool to 2-0 and picked up a draw away at Reading. Then I got hammered in quick succession 4-0 (By Norwich), 5-1 (By Middlebrough) and 3-0 by Spurs.

I've had ot experiment with what I've been telling them before the games, but usually it's 'You can win this' and 'Do it for the fans'

You must have seen Domino...

They let Lohan do a pole dancing movie? Someone needs to have the casting director fired. I don't care what the film is actually about, but I'll tell you this for free: Keira Knightley would've done it better

Man, this guy is a legend. I'm gonna go research him and see if I can sell the script to Rockstar Films.

Oh, the irony.

Aronofsky, if the same thing were to happen, would have to say "Wow, I hardly produced a fucking thing."

Pi? The Fountain? The subject of this topic, Requiem For A Dream? Those are all pretty well regarded films and I'd say they qualify as "a fucking thing" whether or not you like them.

That's shapin gup to be one hell of a card so far. Just needs Melissa vs. Daizee Haize

I have actually yet to be dissapointed with an Aronofsky movie. Even while a lot of people hated The Fountain I actually found it to be his best movie yet. And yeah the guy that compared Requiem to American Pie 4 can go fuck himself, IMO.

Wow... I can go fuck myself for my opinion? Wow.

The fact is, Requiem is a terribly average movie. Okay, comparig it to AP4 was a little unfair. But it's still not the piece of cinematic all-ruling Godly genius the Aronofsky fanboys make it out to be. It's a lot like Schindler's List. Fantastic idea for a movie, but really poorly executed considering it's potential.

Still, the Aronofsky fanboys aren't nearly as bad as the man himself. This is a guy who legitimately believes that Steven Spielberg and Oliver Stone are beneath him.

Not a bad first TV show. I'm struggling with the realism because both Shane & Lynn are retired, but I'll get over it. Would never have expected Lynn-Burchill to be as good as your stats made it, seems like a huge mismatch, but it's all good.

Andy Boy Simmonz as a babyface is a bit disorientating, but I look forward to seeing where you're going with it.

Besides that... all ths needs is a little Wildcat and a touch of Feelgood to be one of the best on the board. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a shoot. [/Alex Shane promo]

Looks good so far. Quick not on format - try and bold things like who's in the match (Like Vic Grimes vs. Michael Modest) and do the same witht he stips, whatever. It'll break up the text and make it easier to read.

This made me laugh:

...December 6, 2006...

The Great Khali is released by the WWE. Roland sends Buddy an e-mail with a few ideas to bring him back to APW, but they eventually agree that bringing Dalip Singh back to APW is not a great idea.
