I voted for 321 as well, to get it up level with the other pages. Although I would have voted for the whole book...

Good man! Are you on the Gibbage forums too? I found The Thumb through ukresistance or adventuregamers, back when I was working as a tape-monkey, sitting in a basement through the night copying 100s of VHSs of shitty nature programmes and the like. Reading these forums is inextricably linked with the voice of Janet Ellis telling me how wonderful caribou are. Which is no bad thing.

Here's another one: Would you rather be Ace Ventura, The Mask or Bruce Almighty?

Seconded. Watch 'Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge' again instead. Although I didn't like Dark Place either...

Can anyone give me a yes or no answer to this question about Lost: In the Desmond flashback, where he meets the lady whose dead husband left her a boat, was that Hurley's girlfriend from the island, but with different hair? Someone told me it was, but I totally didn't notice. Thaaaanks!

I know a good amout!

If you want to see Crank, I'd recommend paying the asking price, rather than stealing it. If you don't, don't. Hundreds of people worked hard on that film, whatever you think of it, and personally I think it's unjustifiable to pirate it.

Crank is really good fun, and pretty close to how GTA: The Movie should be done. The only thing that lets it down is generic baddies (hello, GTA) and final shootout. The ending saves that though. In all, it's great. Well worth a watch.

I think they're self-contained episodes/cases, but with an overarc-ing 'uber-plot', a la X Files or whatever.

Children Of Men - Amazing. Go see it now. Little Miss Sunshine - good but typical indie fare. Clerks II - Enjoyable middle-aged Smith, nothing more.

I know exactly what you mean. What I liked about the first one was that although it had lots of supernatural macguffins, it essentially stayed earthy, human. The villains were just a load of mean blokes, albeit with the occasional skelly-effect. When I saw the trailer for P2, I was really worried that it just seemed like a CG-fest, with big Sharkhead baddies, and prosthetics that even Nighy wouldn't be able to emote through. But then I saw it and I had to eat my tri-corner hat. Jones' crew was ickily tangible, and Nighy was magnificent, using only his eyes, voice and body-language. And the voodoo lady was just some woman with nasty teeth, which was cool. Less fx than Monkey 1 VL. Oh, and a fave movie I forgot is A Fish Called Wanda.

I didn't really enjoy the first film that much, but loved the second one. It's got a lot of flaws, but it overcomes them all with charm and sheer ridiculousness. And for me the ending was fine. I expected an Empire-style depressing cliffhanger, and I loved 'Ello, beastie!"

Can't hear it, just get a load of text. Is that me being stupid?

Can't...fight...such brilliantly expressed arguments......GAAH okay you win, Tremors 4 kicks ass. "I feel I've not been privy to critical, most needful information"

Woah woah woah, and people say I'm crazy? Oh wait, I had this argument in an earlier thread: PS I'm so predictable, I was going to start this reply by subtly quoting all three Indy films ("Are you crazy?"), before I realised I'd already done so in the one I'm quoting...

Wrong, goof. Tremors = excellent, Tremors 2 = good fun, clever continuation and referencing of the original, Tremors 3 = back-to-basics fun with Burt Gummer nearing Ash-like iconic status. Tremors 4 = pretty lame, although the setting of it 100 years in the past is a neat nod to Back To The Future 3. All in all, and it's not saying much, 2 and 3 are amongst the best sequels to an excellent film. Never saw the tv series, broke up with my girlfriend before I could record them off her digital. And I even missed the one with the Christopher Lloyd cameo. Sigh...

I'm glad we went with 'favourite', rather than 'best'. Back To The Future (+ most Zemeckis) A Goofy Movie Raiders Of The Lost Ark Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Tremors Robocop Terminator Freddy Vs Jason Face/Off (+ a lot of Nic Cage) Withnail & I Ed Wood (+ most Burton) Predator Die Hard Wild At Heart Aliens Nightmare On Elm Street Life Of Brian. I can just watch all these over and over.

Ep 4 - fun Ep 5 - boring Ep 6 - shit except the Palpatine/Vader/Skywalker finale Ep 1 - shit, obv. Ep 2 - fun Ep 3 - lots of fun Overall, not as good as the Tremors quadrilogy.

Miami Vice - rubbish. Feels like a made-for-tv undercover action thriller, with worse hair. Monster House - rubbish. Smug, boring, no empathetic characters, and full of those creepy-looking CG-kids that only The Incredibles has managed to avoid. Stormbreaker - godawful. Unbelievably clumsy and amateurish on every level. A Scanner Darkly - really good. Looks gorgeous, great performances. Don't expect a plot. Snakes On A Plane - good fun. Yes, I have a season-ticket for Cineworld cinemas, and yes, I'm 'between jobs' at the moment.

I saw it yesterday. It takes a bit too long to get going, and the ending could have done with being ramped up a bit, but it's generally good fun, inventive and cleverly avoids most cliches. Not Tremors, but exactly as good as you expect it to be deep down in your heart.

I loved the voices in CoMI. Especially Earl Boen as LeChuck, and Denny Delk as MURRAY! I really liked Dominic Armato as Guybrush as well, he was perfect. I pissed myself when I read some idiot claim they messed it up by making him a "whiny American idiot". Guybrush is a whiny idiot! In an American game! The best Mario voice, obviously, was Bob Hoskins.

Wild At Heart strikes a good balance between characteristic/accessible. I'd start with that.

Tempbot reminded me of Darren Aronofsky's films for some reason. I think it was the voice of the manager who's 'leaving at the end of the week'. The music at the end sounded a bit like Amelie as well...

I really enjoyed "Thank You For Smoking". I was laughing all the way through. *coff* and Pirates 2 *coff*

Here's me reenacting a scene from GTA: San Andreas.
