You probably missed a whole lot....... Watched Dark Knight last night, and it was terrific - 9/10. Heath Ledger was amazingly good as the Joker, and will win the Oscar for best supporting actor (i don't think he was in it enough for best actor). All of the acting was great in it, and the action was non-stop. My only "beef" with the film is that it tried to do too much for me, and could have kept part of the movie (atleast) until the next film.

Ive had it unopened for about 4 years lol. They are always on cable, so i watch them now and again on there.

I thought he had posted it somewhere before....... I have a theory about Morgan Freeman - that he took Bruce/Evan almighty so that he could play "god" and he took Deep Impact because he could play the president. Otherwise why would he take on roles in such shit films.

It is a way for sad pathetic people to get 1 up on the Engerlish.

Yes it was. The fact that they don't even know who the killer is (IIRC) indicates that they can't even do it as a scary film about a serial killer. I thought it was an excellent film. This past weekend i watched:- National Treasures 2:- Same as the first. Entertaining to watch, but nothing more. 6/10. Fools Gold:- Any Matthew Mcconaughey film is instantly rented by my wife. Atleast it had the Gorgeous Kate Hudson in it. Was also actually pretty funny for a "chick flick". 5/10.

This weekend i saw:- American Gangster. Not as good as i thought it was going to be, but excellent performances from both Crowe and Denzel anyway. 8/10. Batman Begins - i am not a fan of any of the previous films at all, but i thoroughly enjoyed this one. Christian Bale was excellent - and im looking forward to the next one now. 9/10. Oceans 13- same as all the previous Oceans films, enjoyable but nothing special. 5.5/10.

Ive watched a few this last few weeks. Blazing Saddles - 10/10 - nuff said. Young Frankenstein - not one of Mel Brooks best, but still funny. Now i understand why my wife wanted to call my cat Abbie Normal. 7/10 Talladega nights - the shite that is Ricky Bobby. There was nothing on TV this morning, so i watched this. Wish i had watched nothing - what a load of crap. 1/10 as im feeling generous. Harts War:- Interesting storyline if i hadn't read the blurb before hand that told the story really. Bruce Willis in another heroic i will die instead scene. 6/10. Also recently watched apocolyptico - for all the poor reviews, i thought it was pretty interesting view of life in that time. The jokes played on the fat one that was firing blanks was funnier than anything in Ricky Bobby. 8/10.

In what way do you think it was more and more implausible as it went on? (obviously spoiler codes will be needed)

Its been a pretty crappy day, but i was looking forward to a seminar, a nice can of coke and really nice cookies and a lemon pie thing. Got there, and all they had was water and horrible cookies

HOpefully won't get stopped this time (damn timer). Anyway, from what i understood:-

In future, don't have a coat/belt on, and make sure you have easily removable shoes. Makes it far easier

Oh, ok

Whats wrong with it?

Oh boy. Try and find out what global warming actually does before calling someone a FUD, especially as you have the wrong sex for said person.

But Alien 3 is a good end point for the series, there is no need to keep going and flogging a dead duck now. Everything else that will be done is not going to add to the story. I would be all for a remake of the first one, but not for any more films. I personally don't care how they got there, or if there are any more "out there" to be found - that is what the AVP is base on.

Thats just like having Alien vs Predator, or Alien vs another Alien. Also if all the Aliens are gone, then they can't move on from Alien 3 can they.......

Yeah, but there may well be time constraints as to why the first film is shorter than the first book, in terms of storyline. (i haven't seen it yet, so can't say if it is a bad time to stop).

There is another 2 films on the way, they will probably go into it. It would have stopped at an appropriate ending for the first film.

What story was there left to be told? In alien, they stumbled upon the alien race for the first time, Ripley "won the day" after which they sent the "atmosphere team" or whatever they were told, then Ripley et al went there to save the day again, wiped out the Queen and in effect all the aliens. Alien 3 has the "crash" into the prison planet, and Alien ravages the convicts, that Alien is killed, and Ripley commits suicide with the Queen - no more Aliens. The only "stories" are the pre-human contact (no better than Predator vs Alien), the missing link between Alien and Aliens - which was filled in in Aliens special edition (and hence no need to make a new film) and then anything after Alien 3 - i.e. Alien Ressurection/Alien vs Predator. There is no story left untold.

Not to worry you, but if you caught something else from her, i would also be worried about HIV......... edited to add my PTTGOYN:- I have to referee 3 intramural football games tonight, and at the minute it is storming

I don't agree it was a 10/10 and the best film of the year. I thought it was very poor considering it was the Coen brothers. No no no no, just no. They should come out, remove all traces of Alien res/AVP and state that the end of Alien3 was the end of the series. Ripley died, the Aliens are now extinct, end of.

Personally i don't think there was anything "clever" about it - it is certainly hilarious however - a 10/10 film.

The curse of being my father's son has hit again, and i now look like a lobster after getting sunburnt yesterday

Unfortunately i just can't agree with that. edited to put it in spoilers.
