  1. Totally agree re: total recall.

    It was truly awful, I stopped watching after an hour and left it running, came back an hour layer to see he was still being chased.

    The world they created was beautiful but in terms of character development and script they were just non existent, I didn't give two **** about anyone.

    2/10 and that's a point for both of the females.

  2. I only started watching about a month ago and I've just finished the whole thing, best television series ever.

    I think there was one or two bad episodes in 5 seasons, the bench mark of quality in that show is just unreal, the acting, the writing, it's all incredible.

  3. Finished watching season 3 of the wire, really looking forward to see where they are going take season 4. Because they tied up a lot of loose ends at the end of season 3.. Cant wait for season 4!

    Enjoy the ride. Best season of the lot.

    Definitely this. Season 4 is the best season of any TV show ever. Final episode is a masterpiece.

    I'd say Breaking Bad season 4 with the Wire not far behind. ;)

    I'm yet to sample Breaking Bad, so you may well be right.

    And if you are right, then I can't WAIT to finally watch BB!

    Honestly mate as soon as you get a chance get the first season of breaking bad, I don't watch any of these shows normally but I gave it a chance and it's fricking excellent.

  4. More spoilers

    The two bits that I was talking about before where it was emotionless because it just happened.

    Holloway getting burnt to death. I feel like I should have been really emotionally involved in that. But in reality, I just thought "That was weird" and moved on with my life.

    Same with Idris and co kamikaziing it into the other ship. Seems like a huge decision to commit suicide, but it was just like "meh, let's do this" and no one, including me, seemed all that bothered by it.

    Yeah I totally agree with that to be honest, the film could definitely have Dow with an extra 20 mins or so to develop the characters a bit more so you cared about them but it really seemed as if the humans were secondary to the bigger picture which I can sort of understand, I guess the original alien was sort of the opposite.

  5. I watched it in the cinema and rewatched again from the rip, I think I need to see it again though, there's a lot of stuff in the film which asks more questions but it's hard to know if that's intentional or just lazy scripting etc...

    Something else that springs to mind is right at the end David says to shaw I know we haven't seen eye to eye but I am your only chance to get off this planet, what exactly did he mean by that, shaw didn't know he infected holloway and I don't recall them having an argument prior to that.

  6. The thing is, I can't see how they can really fit more films between Prometheus and Alien.

    Spoilers below

    You see a Xenomorph right at the end. The ship they find in Alien has crashed. The Jockey is in there, dead. What else is there to explain? I assumed the Xenomorph goes onto lay the eggs in the ship (can it do that?) so surely that sets up the start of Alien? You can't really do anything on that planet without messing up the setup, can you?

    Genuine question.

    Couple of things in the plot that I didn't get or might have missed.

    How did Holloway get infected? Did he touch something when they first went into the mountain/cave thing?

    When they do first go in there, I'm sure David takes one of the capsules they find. What happens to that? Surely I didn't switch off for long enough to miss whatever happens to it?

    More Spoilers below!!!

    Holloway got infected by David when he put a drop of the black stuf into his drink, I found this to be an interesting plot point, why did David target holloway, was it simply because he was drunk so he was a easy target or did David take exception to holloways earlier comments about him being just a robot.

  7. Went to see Dredd yesterday, loved it!

    Thought Karl Urban was really good, the girl who played Anderson did a good job. I'm not a massive 3d fan but it worked for this movie, Kermode slates every 3d film but it does work here, would be interested to see it in 2d just to compare.

    Thought they did the right thing mainly focusing on one area, with a low ish budget he was never going to take on the whole city.

    8/10 for me.

  8. What would you say the average cost is per day/week on your kit mate?

    I'm using the disposable e-lites and although I have no complaints about it the cost is slightly worrying. One disposable tip is supposed to be 40 fags but without particularly heavy use one tip is lasting me about 3-4 days even though I was only a 5-6 day smoker, so it's still costing me similar to what the real thing cost, might change over to a refillable one.

  9. I've had my e-lite for 2 weeks today, working wonders for me at the minute, started using it with the intention of cutting out a few cigarettes but I've cut right down now, I've probably had 20 fags in 2 weeks but about 12 of them are accountable to 2 all day drinking sessions when I was quite happy to have a few, apart from that I've smoked about 8 fags in 14 days.

    My chest has cleared right up and I'm running further and easier at the gym than ever before, it's all been rather easy.

  10. Can't wait for Dredd, especially if its an 18, after the 12a rating for total recall i was afraid this would be another watered down mess but thankfully not.

    Also Kill List - terrible movie, really poor i thought.

  11. I ordered from www.e-lites.co.uk

    Used a code from the sun for 200 fags worth for free so the whole lot cost me 23 quid.

    Will report back how I'm getting on in a few days, hopefuly it inspires someone else to take the plunge.

  12. Didn't want to ruin the Olympics thread with football talk, so thought I'd hijack General Chat for a moment...

    Having spent the last couple of weeks watching the Olympics, I found yesterday's community shield to be a bit of a cold shower in terms of sporting behaviour. There was no particular malice about this game, but compared to the Olympics, football really is a fairly disgusting sport.

    I do not understand why the sport has to be so full of hatred. 90 minutes of players getting at each other and the referee infront of a backdrop of 35,000 fans who all seem to hate each other for no other reason other than the football team they decided to follow.

    Contrast this to the Olympics, where a hugely partizan British crowd will clap and appreciate the efforts of all athletes, even those in direct competition with the British competitors. Not only this, but complete respect between athletes of all nations and disciplines.

    I have gone right off football over the past year, and watching the Olympics has made me realise how pathetic elements of the game have become.

    Excellent post mate, feel exactly the same way.

  13. Watched 2 very different films yesterday.

    First up was A Prophet, quite possibly my first French film, I'm certainly not a beginner to subtitles having watched many Asian films. Thought it was really good although it lacked a couple of wow moments that I was sort of expecting, I guess that just added to the realism.

    8/10 solid film.

    Also watched Napoleon Dynamite, seen it before a few times and loved it again, such a brilliant film and so many one liners to quote. I think my favourite moments are Napolean finding uncle Rico's time machine and it already has 1982 on the dial, chip dressed up all gangster is another one for me.

    8/10 for that as well.
