Watched Club Dread. Sort of 'Meh'. Not the worst of it's kind though.

 

i want to try the pac man thing

Also, depending on how much you follow the various stories about it.. the facebook guy actually stole a whole chunk of ideas from various friends and such... Or (depending on the specific point of view) was very good at getting people to put in work developing things, then getting rid of them, getting a new guy in to finish off the development and then basically claiming it.

So supposedly a fair few shennanigans went on.. but it always gets hard to sort myth, fiction, outrage and bad feelings out when one guy makes a fortune like that...

 

I don't buy all the crap about how these guys 'stole' ideas from their friends. As if the friends were about to put in the thousands of hours of effort to make the casual comment a reality. It's like the scuttle around Tarantino's scripts being copies of his mates' conversations - so ****ing what?

 

I just found out what NSFW means..

OK, who the hell taught the only remaining sane moderator this acronym?! Thank for ruining the forum for the rest of us, you jerk.

thanks.. I guess..

Shut up, you're ruined now. RUINED

 

 

Also - watching Inception tonight with GF..

I'm not on Facebook, but Rosbjerg is spot on with his analysis.

 

Personally, if you want to own all my personal data, preferences, images, opinions and suchlike then I'd ask you to pay for them but that's just me. The rest of the world gives it away for free.

Here's the thing. What people do with facebook, Iphones, etc. That's interesting. The coming of age story of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, whathisface from facebook, that just isn't.

 

It sounds like you're basing your opinion on the movie on how you think it should be, rather than how it actually is.

I've been trying to work out what Rosbif thought NSFW meant, and the only thing I can come up with is New South ****ing Wales. Which must have been confusing.

I'm pretty sure he assumed we meant the cleaning industry acronym for Need Sanitation Freon Wipes.

Yes, well both actually.. making me "confused on a higher level" so to speak.. until I googled Alektra and realised it stood for "NNnnn SaaaSS FFffffuuuu WOW!

Pornstar ?

Didn't get that.

 

What everyone is trying to tell you is the the movie "the social network" is a great character study, nevermind what he did with facebook. Another comparison would be you complaining that Citizen Kane would be a boring movie since it is about a man who owned a lot of newspapers.

 

Watch it.

Freon wipes? Ouchie.

Alien prequel dead, instead we get Prometheus

 

Set for March 9th, 2012, this is now an original Sci-Fi flick.

 

I wonder if it is still somehow connected to the Aliens universe.

An original movie is always better than a rehash. My expectations are high.

Agreed. Plus it spares us a lot of whining from Aliens die-hard fans.

Prometheus is actually a bold move for Fox as it means leaving behind a project that has a strong brand and legacy behind it. You

Missing (1982) - Still a good movie, even if the production is dated.

Matewan - I love this film. Not one I can watch many times a year or something, but it's Sayles best/masterpiece.

Ultramarines.

 

Now I really have to finish Chaos Rising.

For the slightly random movie related news thats running a bit late.. Pete Postelthwaite died a couple of weeks ago..

 

And Speilberg once called him "the best actor in the world" after working with him in Amistad.

Saw Tron Legacy on the weekend. When will this 3D trend die? I enjoyed the hell out of the flick, don't get why its got such a negative reaction from critics. Its like they expected something from Disney to not be a popcorn flick.

Good god.

Ultramarines.

I thought it was really terrible. Space marines are cool two centimeters tall, starring in their own movie, not so much.

If GW decide to make another movie I hope for the next one they go with Gotrek & Felix, I really liked the novels.
