miffy495 Posted April 17, 2008 Actually, I have no beef with the Sens. The only team I have a problem with is Calgary as I have to deal with many drunken fans. I don't really hate the team, I just like when they lose so the fans shut the hell up. I was half-cheering for the Senators this year, but I'm not really fussed that they lost tonight. Pittsburgh is having a great year, and Crosby needs to prove himself this year. I'm pretty happy for them, but I hope they eventually get shut down by Montreal.

twmac Posted April 17, 2008 Just rewatched Tremors... It makes me sad that flukes like this don't happen more often. I mean, you have Kevin Bacon, he's not famous yet but his pretty decent actor already. Fred Ward who will forever be the guy who is highly entertaining in all of the low budget schlock he has graced. Michael Gross, keen to have some kind of film career after being in sitcoms for years. Between the three of them they manage to take a ridiculous premise and pull it off. Shame the sequels were so gadawful. Also finally watched Juno, is it me or is this film going to be out of date in about 2 years? The whole time I felt like I was watching the equivalent of the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles for beginning of the 21st century. The slang is going to age soooo badly.

DanJW Posted April 17, 2008 Hahah I did that for added insult. But seriously, you should take comic sans out of the font options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted April 18, 2008 ...just saying is all. Anyway, it's not like we're talking about this in "gaming." It's playoff season, we're Canadian. It's not only encouraged that we talk about hockey, it may actually be required by our constitution. Of course, I haven't checked, but given the atmosphere around the country this time of year, I'm pretty confident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted April 18, 2008 You could say the same about football in the UK, but fuck all that nonsense. (We do love motorbike racing at Castle Mania, though. And boxing.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted April 18, 2008 It's going to age like The Importance of Being Earnest. Whoa. Hold it right there. Don't be messing with Rupert Everett now, y'hear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted April 19, 2008 Whoa. Hold it right there. Don't be messing with Rupert Everett now, y'hear? I don't know if you were kidding or not, but anyway I haven't seen that. I'm talking about the original Wilde play, which is just as funny now as it was a hundred years ago. Something about Juno, especially the extreme wittiness of the characters, gives me a TIOBE vibe. I think the humour will last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted April 19, 2008 Alright, I wasn't kidding, but I wasn't sure if you were kidding. I love Earnest, both the play and the pretty recent movie with Rupert Everett and Judi Dench. It perfectly embodies the whimsical quality of the play; definitely recommendationworthy! It's cheap on play.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger Posted April 19, 2008 It's going to age like The Importance of Being Earnest. Haven't seen that one yet, hope it's as good as Earnest Scared Stupid and Earnest Goes to Jail. Man that's a lame joke I really shouldn't bother pressing the submit post button, but something is compelling me to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twmac Posted April 20, 2008 It definitely made me giggle. Well I sort of disagree about Juno, I don't think it is all that timeless. In fact I did find myself cringing when some of the slang was used. It reminded me of this moment in 'A Clockwork Orange' when the main character is imprisoned and one of his cellmates uses a dialect/slang so out of date that no one understands him. Don't get me wrong I liked the film, just think it will age badly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanJW Posted April 25, 2008 Guillermo Del Toro confirmed as director for The Hobbit. Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh producing. An excellent choice I must say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted April 25, 2008 Ugh, I'm really disappointed about this news. I would rather have Del Toro make some more of his own movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted April 25, 2008 Ooh, this might actually become really good, with Del Toro's imaginitive use of creatures. Did you see the stuff he's cooked up for Hellboy 2? Amazing things there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
