and thanks for carrying on in the thread that shows you for the derelict human being you are. Please stalk more of my older posts and post comments and retorts. I enjoy it
 
Yes, but I wasn't questioning anything besides punctuation. Grammar is general whereas punctuation is specific, so the point stands.

No it doesn't. That's like . . .

"Wow what bad weather we are having"
"You don't like this rain?"
"No, it's horrible"
"Then say RAIN, YOU DON'T LIKE THIS RAIN"
"Rain is weather"
"Yeah but it's the RAIN part of the weather that you don't like today"
"rain is the weather today"
etc etc etc.

"I've given up cigarettes"
"what brand do you smoke?"
"I don't smoke any anymore, I have given up"
"Ok what brand did you smoke"
"Mild Seven"
"Then you have given up MILD SEVEN, not all cigarettes. You have given up MILD SEVEN".
etc etc

THE KING OF KONG!

Amazing. What a great doc. What a great film. You couldn't make it up. The end could have been better but you can't edit reality (that much). I went to sleep with a smile on my face.
Someone has got to turn it into a movie, even though they don't need to. All the characters are perfect, better than any fake docs like pret a porter, best in show or a mighty wind etc.

Highly recommended, I only meant to watch the first 20 minutes but was gripped until the end.

How fucking cliquey were those guys!

They were the ultimate geek clique with a geek clique manifesto!
 
7 & 8 of The Shield 6. Exciting stuff, it's all going to shit.....

then the first disc of the complete Curb Your Enthusiasm. only meant to watch the first episode and then watch a film, but, aahhh Larry, such a man after me own heart.
 
First 3 episodes of Tiny Toons. Dled all of them, plus the whole of Animaniacs, couple of nights ago. As funny and great as I remember them being. Smart comedy too.
 
I watched A Prophet (Un prophète) - Really very good.

Watching it made me think of OZ, Scarface, Gomorrah, Mesrine, so many prison films, and yet it felt really fresh and different at the same time.

Some great music in it too.
 
That Billy Mitchell cracked me up - what a chicken shit.

I liked it when the ref fella played his song :D:D

Someone has got to got to make a film of it. Though I know I will complain that it's not as good as the doc.

Billy was incredible, his job, his persona, his look, sending the tape, dropping his mate up and not turning up, turning up for 2 minutes and scowling. He was perfect. Perfect.
 
Watched Mi Mejor Enemigo last night.

A Chilean film that dates from 2005 and is about the absurdity of war. The war in question being the (nearly) 'Beagle War' of 1977/78 between Argentina and Chile.

Sounds a bit grim but, in parts, it's a touching and funny low key film. Beautifully shot.

It's part of my New Year's Resolution to try and watch a new film (to me) every day. We're not even in the middle of January and I'm already struggling. I'm mostly relying on Netflix Instant for the films I can watch.

The list of films I've already seen this year are listed here. Some good, some great and some that have been absolutely fucking awful.
 
Started re watching buffy from 'Hush' onwards.
I don't recall it being this dark. And I also had forgotten how good alyson hannigan looks.

I loved when he talked his ties.

'People ask me for my initials and I tell them they aint lookind hard enough' :D:D

The world needs more Steve Wiebes - quietly pushing forward and keeping on through the shit.

I know it's only Donkey Kong, but I had quite a lot of admiration for his determination and patience.

some of his achievemets since:

On March 6, 2008, in Las Vegas, Wiebe played in front of a fluctuating crowd of 1,900 party attendees in the TAO Nightclub in the Venetian Casino during Microsoft's MIX08 event. During that attempt, Wiebe achieved two scores: first scoring 929,800 points and reaching the "Kill Screen" and then 579,300 points on the second try. According to Twin Galaxies records, this is the sixth time someone had reached the "Kill Screen" during a public gaming performance (3 times by Billy Mitchell and 3 times by Wiebe). Again, Wiebe performed under the supervision of Twin Galaxies Founder Walter Day, who noted: "Possibly the biggest challenges Wiebe had to overcome were the loud nightclub music, the chaotic environment and the late hours." [11]

On July 17, 2008, Wiebe made his third attempt to break the Donkey Kong high score at the Twiistup 4 event in Santa Monica, but was unsuccessful on two consecutive attempts, scoring 340,500 and 466,100 points.[12]

In October 2008, at the 2008 E for All Expo, he scored 1,000,200 in front of a large crowd. This is only the third time a 1 million point score has been achieved in public.

On April 24, 2009, Wiebe took command of the Donkey Kong Jr. title, eclipsing both Mitchell and previous record holder Icarus Hall with a score of 1,139,800 points. [13]

On June 2, 2009, Wiebe reached a score of 923,400 points at E3 2009 during his first attempt that day. On his second attempt, he reached 653,700. A third attempt was interrupted by a brief power failure. After power was restored, Wiebe made a fourth attempt in which he reached 989,400 points before the kill screen ended his final attempt. These attempts were broadcast online via G4TV.[14]
 
Holy shit indeed
It's not good is it. Even on a nice screen. Makes you realize good films are not all about the bangs and crashes.

You mean you didn't like it?

I refuse to believe you think something's shit, especially something that is generally accepted to be one of the best films of last year.

You're usually so enthusiastic about quality tv and film :(
