  1. Maybe I'm alone in not really loving the first episode. The only parts I really liked were flipping out at Jimmy Buffet being shit and the final 'Are you HIV Positive' gag. The rest was just kind of there, I thought. Oh, and Butters kissing Cartman. But only because it was Butters.
  2. All of my college buddies and I went through a Richard Cheese phase, but the only song we could ever really get into was his cover of Down With the Sickness. I didn't mind his cover of 'The Wrong Way' by Sublime, either. The rest I could take or leave.
  3. http://au.fourfourtwo.com/videos/368,petko...m-kick-out.aspx I know it's happened before, but this is an Aussie
  4. I'm a late bloomer, having only seen the Brosnan and Craig films. Craig wins the actor one hand down in that contest, as he portrayed a far more realistic, gritty Bond. Ditto for the film, although I did enjoy all but Tomorrow Never Dies of the Brosnan flicks.
  5. Wow, Emilie de Raven scored high too. Didn't expect that. She's one of those celebrities from Australia I'm surprised we haven't started calling 'our Emilie'. We do it with anyone remotely successful. Her Australian accent irritates me, but I'd wreck that if given half the chance.
  6. I love the game to bits on PC, particularly with all of the user created content you can track down and add. Some of the graphical and audio ones really do make the game into something spectacular.
  7. Yay for Dominic Monaghan! With the elimination of his character from Lost last season, I was wondering where I'd get my ex-hobbit fix.
  8. Not disagreeing with much of this list so far, save Bjork. If I want to shag a Filipino man-boy, I'll take the relatively short flight down there and pay the $5 fee. Only one Aussie on the list makes sense, but Isla Fisher? There are so many more gorgeous girls here!
  9. McKellan still attached? Or are they going to skip the expensive CG generated youthfulness and just hire some young buck? I'm not opposed to the latter, but they're some big shoes to fill.
  10. Actually made my day (and it's only three hours old) to see this news. I loved the first two X-Men movies and enjoyed the third enough - so it's great to see that we're getting a chance to see more of the universe. As much as I like Schrieber, I'm a little confused by his casting as Saber Tooth. Surely he'd have made a better Stryker? Particularly with Mane expressing his desire to reprise his role from the first film. I'm just stoked to see this going ahead, and that it will introduce new characters like Gambit and Deadpool to the universe of the films. There's talk of a sequel detailing Wolverine's time in Japan as well, which would just reek of awesomeness. And then there's the discussed Magneto prequel...
  11. BSW gets no P25 love? :-(

  12. 1 - Johnny Depp There isn't a role I've seen him play where he hasn't made it his own 2 - Sam Rockwell Like Depp, he's played a variety of roles and he's made them all stand out regardless of their importance to the screenplay 3 - Edward Norton There's a subtlety about everything he does that goes against the 'in your face' style of most modern box office draw 4 - Leonardo DiCaprio Horrendously underrated on account of having been in Titanic and being prettier than some of his leading ladies. Gives every role his all 5 - Jack Nicholson Where De Niro and Pacino have perhaps gone a little off the rails as they've grown older (with the former slumming and the latter playing the same role over and over again), Nicholson only seems to improve as he gets older and more manic 6 - Kevin Spacey Not the powerhouse he was a few years back, but Spacey has the same kind of subtle charm that makes Norton such a great actor 7 - Matt Damon Like DiCaprio he cops a lot of flak for being good looking and for knowing Ben Affleck, but he's got a great ability to make a silence matter 8 - Russell Crowe A few years back he'd have been higher, but Crowe's slipped a little in recent years in his film choices. Still, he made movies like 3:10 to Yuma and Gladiator just by being present 9 - Ian McKellan A guy who just continues to improve with age. Has shown in recent blockbuster outtings that he can be good or evil with equal conviction, and does so without hamming it up 10 - Jim Carrey Doesn't get a lot of credit for the serious roles he does, which is a shame. Made the transition from teen idol to serious actor better than most have
  13. "Master", huh? I like where this is headed <_<

  14. Classic D&D. Join. That is all <_<

  15. 1. The Shawshank Redemption: Only gets better through repeat viewings. 2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: An emotionally and visually stunning journey. My favourite Kauffman film. 3. American Beauty: One of those films that totally changed my view of life at the time, and it still catches me everytime. 4. Fight Club: An edgy, enthralling thrill ride. The first R-rated movie I ever saw. 5. La Vita e Bella: Just heart-wrenching. Holocaust movies are always a sensitive subject, but this one attacks it from an entirely different perspective and succeeds on so many levels. 6. No Country for Old Men: A visually stunning cat and mouse, and ignores so many Hollywood conventions that you can't help but feel sobered by the ending. 7. Stranger Than Fiction: It's cute and quirky, sure, but there's something deeper in the flick. A really good 'serious' outing from Ferrell. 8. The Departed: I would probably prefer Infernal Affairs if it was in English, and definitely prefer the IA ending - but The Departed was slick and stylish, and wonderfully cast. 9. Fellowship of the Ring: I know Return gets all of the props and Towers had more action, but I don't think I ever came out of a movie as buzzed as I did after Fellowship. Just visually stunning, wonderfully cast, and epic in every sense of the word. 10. Oldboy: I dread the day when Hollywood gets ballsy enough to bastardise this into a Hollywood film. The content, the style... it's just a wonderfully made movie. 11. The Green Mile: Like Shawshank, this one is just a beautifully told story. Heart-wrenching and amusing and shocking - it's a ride (to use a cliche) that only improves with time. 12. A Love Song for Bobby Long: I'm sure it wasn't everybody's cup of tea, but I liked the humanity of the drama. It's just a few people and their story without a big budget or epic fight scenes, but it works. Plus, you know, there's some Scarlett Johannsen side-boob 13. Sin City: Translated brilliantly from graphic novel to the big screen without losing any of its style. It's gory and dark and sexy in all of the right places. 14. Pulp Fiction: It's probably a cliche to like this movie, but it's just the complete package. The dialogue and soundtrack, like most everything Tarantino touches, is gold - and the cast has a fantastic chemistry. 15. Battle Royale: Maybe I'm biased because I'm a enamored with CSAMH's game of the same name, but there's something of a guilty pleasure to be found in watching school-children murder one another. 16. The Boondock Saints: It's criminal that this movie wasn't a bigger box office success. It's witty, its violent, and it has Billy fucking Connelly in it! 17. Cruel Intentions: It's no Shakespearean epic, but the sheer steamy sensuality of it scores points for me. There's not a lot of flesh on show, sure, but they say that there's a lot to be said for seduction. Gellar is positively sexual in this. 18. Super Troopers: My favourite comedy film of all time for sheer replay value. I could quote this ad nauseum and never tire of it. Nothing spectacular plot wise, but it's good, innocent fun. 19. Casino Royale: I was never much of a Bond fan, good though the films were, until seeing this. Craig takes the role and reinvents it without the cliches and catch-phrases that had begun to wear thin for me under the previous incarnation. With most of the cheese cut out, it made Bond bad-ass again. 20. Collateral: Another great cat and mouse film, and like No Country, it's delivered with style and flair. Cruise is positively intimidating while Foxx turns whiny bitch without flinching. Thoroughly enjoyable.
  16. Rejoice! I've finally pulled my thumb out and posted more Unraveling. Would love your thoughts, mate.

    And yes, I am still reading The Long Walk. I really should print it...

  17. As an Aussie fan, we see shit like this all of the time. Usually it's those sneaky Croats, but now the Greeks are trying to steal young Dean Bouzanis, the Croats are after Dario Vidosic and Matthew Spiranovic, and there's some shifty business going on with a young Ukrainian kid.
  18. I worry that they struggle to differentiate between a man being gay (which I actually have no problem with either, but I understand that there are religions that do) and a man portraying a homosexual in an act of fiction. If Heath's going to hell for that - I guess I'm going to hell too. I've played gay roles in plays before
