    Hey guys!:D

     

    I'm in need of a new PC after having this one for about 6 years and it starting to crash every 20 minutes and just being generally slowwwwwwwwwwwww.

     

    So! I knew I could come here and ask you techies on some advice!

     

    I have around £500 - £600 to spend, and only need a tower, no extras!

     

    I need something that thats obviously quite speedy, and can pull off decent graphics.

     

    Would be great if anyone could suggest some sites or find some PC's for me?!

     

    Thankyou! :D

    Exactly, it felt so uninspired and generic.

    As if Burton just went: "Fuck it, I'll make it like last few movies I made"

    The only memorable thing about the movie for me was the Yorkshire cat and the red queen everything else was just really "meh".

     

    I hated the ending, Alice just went Dr. Phil on all of her problems.

     

    I agree with you on the ending. What was that? Eurghh.

    Alice In Wonderland

     

    This was one of my most anticipated movies of 2010. Not only because it's a "sort of" sequel to one of my favourite Disney Classics, but it was being directed by Tim Burton, one of my favourite directors.

     

    And boyyyy did it please me :)

     

    Lets start with the visuals. FUCK. It was like an orgasm to the eye. Every set, every costume, every colour, looked STUNNING. And 3D helped this a lot, it was just beautiful to look at, I could have watched it on mute :)

     

    The story...

     

    I liked the dreams thing, and how they linked it in with the old Alice. But I couldn't help but wonder what if they just did a remake of Disneys classic? Going back to the visuals, it could have looked MUCH more jolly and wonderlandish, if the Red Queen wasn't in power. When they flash backed to when Alice first came to wonderland, I wanted MORE of that world!

     

    The characters...

     

    My favourite by far was the Red Queen. Helena Bonham Carter stole every scene she was in. She perfected the character, and it paid off hugely. Just wish she had more screen time.

     

    The Cheshire Cat was another favourite of mine, it just reminded me so much of the Disney Classic, and the Cat was visually amazing. I loved the Cat's part towards the end of the film too.

     

    The White Queen, I loved Anne Hathaways character, when she was making the potion for Alice, I wanted to see more of that! Hathaway looked like she had really thought about how she wanted her character to come across, but she just simply didn't have enough screentime for viewers to work out her personality.

     

    Mad Hatter...Totally differant to what I expected, more dark and twisted in this, I didn't like the sudden bursts of anger. I have to say the Hatter was one of my least favourite characters.

     

    Alice...I didn't quite know what to make of Alice. At the start I just wanted to slap her round the face. But as the film progressed I started to like her more and more. She did seem a bit empty though.

     

     

    All in all, I really enjoyed the movie, and it lived up to the hype in my opinion. Just wish it would have been a bit longer.

    Mean Girls

     

    Modern classic! So well written and paced. With this in existence, no other girly teen films need to be made. Until the next "great" one.

     

    I agree totally, no other girly film has come close to being as good as Mean Girls since it's release, I can seriously just watch it over and over and over....

    Everyone seems to have a mate with a faulty HD2 haha

     

    I have the HTC HD2 and it work perfectly fine. The only problem I have with it is that the camera program doesn't always load but it loads more times than not. A simple closing it down and opening it back up does the trick. Also I would suggest you going into a store to see and hold one as some people think its a tad too big - I don't.

     

    I heard a lot about people not liking the winmo os but (I might be wrong) if you are not a hardcore mobile fanatic then it won't bother you at all. My old phone was a symbian OS (N96) so I don't have much experience to comment on different OS'.

     

    Yeah I think the phone you are talking about is a HTC Bravo. Its basically a HD2 except andriod instead of winmo as you already know but I think its releasing in America in april first but I'm not 100% so...

     

    I think they way things are going now a free window 7 upgrade for the HD2 seems very likely but nothing is official yet.

     

    Really at the end of the day, if you like the look and sound of the phone then definitly go for it. What I would advise you to do is to order it online if you can that way you will have 14 days from the date you made the order to return the handset and cancel the contract if you are not happy with it.

     

    Simples.

     

    Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for that :D

     

    I think I'm gunna go for it, contract doesn't end until march 15th so I still have time to decide and stuff, but it looks like I'm gunna go for it, im a sucker for big screens and pretty visuals :)

    HTC have the Nexus One and Bravo due out over here in the next couple of months. Both run similar hardware to the HD2.

     

    There's quite a list of handsets coming before the summer. I'd at least wait a couple of days until Mobile World Congress is over as there's quite a few handset unveilings taking place for Q1 and Q2 this year.

     

    Yeah I know, it's just my contract ends 15th march, and don't really be wanting to wait around for ages.

     

    Gahhhh decisions....

    The Princess and the Frog

     

    I was so excited to see this. Disney going back to hand drawn animation? YES FUCKING PLEASE.

     

    Well it lived up to my expectation, it's everything you would expect from a "classic" Disney film. It's funny, has a great story, emotional, and has a lesson.

     

    The characters are top-notch, my favourite being Ray the cuban fire-fly :)

     

    So glad Disney are back to doing what they do best :D

    Thinking of getting the HTC HD2 on a £25 pm contract, but have to pay £90 for the phone on top. 18 months on virgin.

     

    500mins, unlimited texts, unlimited internet.

     

    It's the best deal I can find for it.

     

    Anyone else got this phone? It's got great reviews, the only problem everyone seems to have with it is Winmo 6.5, but theres still speculation to whether it will be upgradable to winmo 7 in the future...

     

    Another thing, HTC are set to unveil some android phones tomorrow, and apparently one is near enough the same as the HD2, but on android.

     

    But surely these wont be available until later on in the year?

    I decided to put the superman pic up, for the lols. Also because I think it's a particularly good photo for a mugshot :)

     

    Just to add to this, I was also a little tipsy ;)

     

    Superman let loose!

    By that I meant if you had a twin that went evil. And obviously in the process of becoming evil you grow your hair, wash it less and get uglier. So not so much twin but...you know? Its what I meant. It looks like you if you let yourself go.

     

    Yay superman :D

     

    Ah I see.

     

    Still.....pick on me don't ya :P

    Far left looks a tad like Flink, and the guy next to him looks like Triforce_Keeper's evil twin.

     

    What?

     

    Have you seen my recent pics? I look nothing like that? :/

    Don't expect the same experience you had with FFVII... not saying you won't like it... just prepare to be surprised.

     

    Haha this is so weird discussing such an old, classic title as though it has just come out. My g/f has also never played FFVII, I might buy it on PSN for her to play through...

     

    It's so hard though! I swear I would not know where to go half the time If I couldn't just look up on the net :P

    I haven't gamed/bought a game in years....

     

    It's mostly because I don't have time, but I didn't really have the urge too...and when I tried too, I would just lose interest.

     

    But guess what sparked me up again?

     

    FF7 :D

     

    First time I have played it properly, I used to watch my neighbour play it all the time when I was little, and he let me like press a button :L

     

    I'm loving it, addicted I am XD

    Romeo + Juliet (1996)

     

    Hadn't watched it in years, not since when I was in English class in high school when we were doing Shakespeare.

     

    I saw it in HMV for a fiver, and as I love Baz Luhrmann I thought I would give it a try.

     

    The production is first class, the costumes, the setting, the colours, the camera-work is just GORGEOUS. It's much like Moulin Rouge in the way of visual orgasms. It totally drew me in, and was hooked till the end of the film.

     

    I just couldn't decide whether I liked the use of Shakespeare dialogue in there, it was far too confusing and I found myself working out what they were trying to say all the way through it.

     

    8/10

     

     

    Moulin Rouge

     

    As I was in the world of Baz Luhrmann, I thought I would watch my favourite movie of all time for the 10000 time :)

     

    GOD I just can't describe how much I love this movie. The art direction is just out of this world, it's everything I love, weirdly wonderful. I admit it's probably a love it or hate it king of thing.

     

    The use of "popular pop songs" is really well implemented, they don't seem tacked on, it's just melded in to the story, and half the time you don't realise they are singing an Elton John song, or a Madonna song.

     

    My favourite scene has got to be "El Tango De Roxanne", not only is the dancing phenomenal, but when Christian starts singing his bit, and it cuts between the dance and Christian, it gives me goosebumps, everytime. :love:

     

    But yeah, if you haven't already watched, please please do.

    PS has anyone seen Strictly Ballroom? Is it any good? Thanks :)
