Help
I saw Repo Men yesterday. It got a critical pasting that's vastly unfair, it's nothing stellar but it's a perfectly good piece of daft action fun.

KICK-ASS:
Four out of four stars for comedy.
Four out of four stars for action.
One out of two stars for camp.
9/10 for this hilarious movie. Very violent and very funny.
Nic Cage is nutty as fuck, but he can pick roles and just be ridiculous with them and somehow be entertaining.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

People who talk in theaters have a spot reserved for them in the 9th circle of hell with Hitler,
Heh, what do you know. I already have a coup going on in Hell right now. By the time I get there, my minions will have conquered the place. Also, Hitler is in the 8th circle, the guys in the 9th don't want him for some reason.
Quote
And yet, you could just have left the theater. Or taken a nap. Or tried really hard to like it.
I tried. My friends didn't help matters any.
I did take a short nap during the chase scene and was amazed that I didn't miss anything. Literally. Quote

We were in the front actually. Nor were we the only ones.

Watching films in the cinema is serious business. I wouldn't mind paying 5 dollars extra just to pay an usher to stand guard and bounce idiots who can't shut up.
Odd as it might seem to you, I happen to agree completely. This time, it was the Twilight Zone where normal things don't happen very often. The movie just compelled us and we all rolled 1 on our will saves. It happens
We also smuggled Pepsi in ... and I still had some crispy strips from KFC in my pocket
Yes, we also had popcorn which we bought at the cinema at an outrageous price.

Don't tell me you drink Cola.... or Mountain Dew. You fiend.
Well, I drink whatever but mainly Pepsi. I named my cat Pepsi after she made herself comfortable among the Pepsi bottles on my bar.
The picture is of my cat and has nothing to do with Pepsi bottles.

I always wanted to give some shit to a twat who talks in the cinema without the fear of being stabbed to death so you Sir are a prick! I don't care how bad a movie is, I work fucking hard for my money and if I choose to spend cash and some of my precious free time watching a film, I want stupid dicks to keep quiet. It's nothing to brag about, it should be a capital offense.

Have you started on the development of that system we talked about btb?

Not when you're watching a movie that just begs to be trolled. Like Clash of the Titans - which begged for comments. Our comments actually inhanced the movie.

They've got hot goddesses/nymphs/whatever in Clash of the Titans?
*off to see the film*
Reminds me of Vanessa Williams as Calypso in 1997's The Odyssey TV series. hot.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

If the film sucks, go to the pub after and moan about it then. Don't ruin the film for others cos you're an inconsiderate douchebag...

I hear that, noisy youths are the bane of the cinema goer, regardless of film quality, best to bring your friend whos great at the fake anger rage, usually shuts them up.

Normally I'd agree, but for them to be making enough noise for me to notice they'd either have to be really damn close on the right hand side, or they'd have been noisy enough to be swarmed by the rest of the moviegoers and torn limb from limb, bits of their torn and fingernail-rent flesh being formed into makeshift popcorn for the savage and degraded ghouls such whittering over the movie would reduce them to.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

"Bring him back!"
That mini-series was really well done. Especially how Achilles killed Hector and then dragged him along the cliffs.
I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.
