  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yes, although I enjoyed it a lot more when I went back to it after season 2 (and maybe 3) - there's some good stuff there but it's a lot easier to separate once you know what you're looking for. They're doing a final episode soon, apparently.
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah, Pegg talks on the commentary track how most actors pretending to play console have obviously never used a controller and it really annoyed him, so he generally was actually playing the games in those shots.
  4. Weird Medical Shit

    Yeah, ditto.
  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced Highly recommended, especially if you like the Wright-Pegg-Frost films, but even if you don't, as the style is a bit different.
  6. Life

    Hooray! Hopefully now you're getting some support you can start concentrating on getting better.
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    The second season is the best. If you find the first one hard going maybe skip forward and then go back later.
  8. Movie/TV recommendations

    As long as you bring it back.
  9. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    Did they stick mocap suits on fish?
  10. Nextbox 1080: The Reckoning

    XBOX WOOF
  11. Weird Medical Shit

    No, I mean why did you take being asked if you're gay as a compliment?
  12. Coraline Questions and Spoilers

    Oh yeah, Paranorman's on my list to watch. It didn't look great from the trailers, but it got good reviews. Apparently, it has the first in a mainstream children's animated film, too, which is interesting.
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    Black Books is great. Have you watched Spaced, Father Ted and The IT Crowd yet?
  14. Weird Medical Shit

    Why?
  15. Life

    Oh cool, that's interesting that it's happening on a smaller scale in different places. Do you all get instructions to dress up and everything? Is it as expensive as the big ones?
  16. Weird Medical Shit

    I've never noticed it myself...
  17. Life

    Btw, I may have misunderstood the set-up, but I think that's potentially a spoiler, as other people may be going to later screenings and not want to know what the film is...
  18. Using Games as a documentary medium

    I can't find anything about this now. Does anyone else remember it? Was that Columbine RPG thing serious/political enough to be usable?
  19. Movie/TV recommendations

    Hmmm, I'd agree on the character arc, but I thought he was very versatile in the first one. Did good comedy, action, drama.
  20. Using Games as a documentary medium

    There was that Twin Towers game/mod/thing that was controversial but serious, right? You basically had the choice to die in the fire or jump out of the window iirc.
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    Agree. Why "poor" Chris Pine, though? Great Gatsby is far too much melodrama slopped on top of a relatively restrained story, and the 3D is rubbish.

  23. Movie/TV recommendations

    I didn't enjoy Iron Man 3 or Star Trek 2 very much, sadly. Both far too bloated, Dark Knight (and Batman Returns) has a lot to answer for.
  24. Meeting people from the internet is weird

    When I listen to the 'cast I'm always naked, so it's like we're all in a poly relationship.
  25. I Had A Random Thought...

    You'd have to then go on to be in the next Indiana Jones and Batman films to truly be the next Porkins.
