Ben X

Gah, bought Rage, Psychonauts, and the Crysis pack in anticipation of my new gaming PC. Resisting any further bargains!

Finally caught up with the first half of season five. Amazing show. What was it that you knew was going to happen?

I'm betting it's that cue from late on in 28 Days Later. Brilliant but overused by scumbag ad "creatives". Don't know if it's available on Grooveshark, but I would like to request "Legacy" by Gone Jackals. Roswell: a very strange choice of Blur song!

It's not even December yet, why the FUCK is your avatar wearing a Santa hat?

It would have been pretty cool to have another style of FPS and setting again from the first two, so it becomes a Mission Impossible type franchise (or what John Carpenter intended to do with the Halloween franchise before Michael Myers got too popular).

Very clever, except for one small detail: I would NEVER sing Christmas carols! Bah humbug.

Ooh, wait! Did you check the back? Maybe there's a PS telling you to take back one kadam for the Hebrew god whose ark this is!

I know, that Mington guy keeps stealing my ideas.

I'm going to forgive you for stealing my theory, because you were drunk, Mington. (I still can't forgive a Christmas avatar in November, though.)

Yeah, I noticed that! Mine will go up around the 23rd of December for approximately three days.

You should make a website or something to try and find the answer. It might be the next big internet sensation and get made into a Jim Carrey film!

This thread now FAO fucking most of you ):<

Mysterious...Sexy!

Not comical, just ace:

Commenting isn't really a motivator for me, but it is nice to have the ability for that one time in a blue moon that I want to pick up on a point or fact in the post/article. It's more of a motivator if I know there's a strong possibility of the author replying most of the time. Also, I fully support a site's right to delete mean/stupid/pointless comments. Not everywhere has to be Reddit.

Agreed on the cheese but not the ham

Oh yeah, that too.

I like these, they remind me of those Double Fine Comics by Raz.

You asked why you should keep watching, and I honestly don't think there's much point if you thought the first 42 minutes were boring. But I like it because it's atmospheric, taut, thrilling, scary, darkly humourous, stylish, with sharp dialogue, gritty well-directed action, great turns from Biehn and Hamilton and a load of brilliant supporting actors (including the voice of LeChuck as the asshole criminal-psychologist), with an amazing score and some great special/visual effects including the amazing Stan Winston work.

It's the one where you can see the DoP in the back of all the shots.

I was talking about how hipsters talk about how Death Cab sold out way before you guys were talking about it.

I'd say T1 is the tighter film in every way, but I agree with you on everything else re. T2! Orv, T1 isn't the typical Arnie dumb-action-silly-one-liners-action-flick. It's almost better to think of Arnie as a living prop that Cameron manipulates marvellously in his smart, sharp little sci-fi thriller. Twig, if you got 42 minutes into The Terminator and found it boring and not worth watching, there's not really anything we're going to be able say to convince you otherwise.

How about because some movies take a while to build and you should give it more than ten minutes before dismissing them?

I've been planning to do this exact thing for ages, if only to remind myself what my opinion is of films I've seen because these days I tend to forget after about a week, but I never got round to it. Good luck, Rodi, maybe you'll spur me on to do my own after all...

Man, I understand that some people think T2 is an excellent film, but to think T1 is inferior, and even a slog, boggles my mind.
