None, because I'm too poor.
Except possibly some local bands. Some of them are pretty good.

At the risk of sounding like one of those people who nitpick at evry little thing, but her 66th would be on 6/7/06
So far, there's only been one remake of a film that springs to mind that i think surpasses the original, and that is the 1978 version of Invasion of the body snatchers.Well, there is also Scarface. Of course this opinion is tainted as I've yet to see the original, but the '83 version is so awesome I'm not sure how the original can be superior; and the few people who have seen both claim the latter as the better aswell.

Seen the first 16 eps. halfway through downloading ep.17. My favourite episode of season 2 so far has to be the one entitled 'The Long Con'
That Sawyer tricking Locke into giving him all the guns was genius. I have so much respect for that guy now. (Yes, I am aware he is just a character)
Anyway, the thing about S2 is that ever since they opened the hatch, the mystery has sort of gone. Sure, there are a few more questions, but the mystery of the hatch was the thing that kept you on the edge in S1. Well, imo, anyway

I watched Oldboy last..man it's good. seriously dark, dark movie but easily one of the best I've ever seen. utterly facinating.
10/10.
*runs off to find more korean cinema*
Awesome film. The ending was fantastic.
I've seen quite a few films recently...
The King of Comedy- 7/10
I liked it. It's one of those films which is perfect to watch on a saturday afternoon. Not mind-blowing, but still.
Glengarry Glen Ross- 8/10
Very good, but not enough swearing.
Raging Bull- 6/10
Pffft. What a disapointment. I mean it was good, but I was sort of expecting to be blown away by it (I know I shouldn't have, but still). I'll probably like it more if I saw it again, which I probably will for some reason.
Once Upon a Time in the West- 5/10
Bought it the other day since it was only a fiver it's directed by the same guy who did the dollars trilogy and A Fistful of Dynamite, but it turned out to be one of those films which is nearly 3 hours long, but could have been done in an hour. I spent most of it looking at my watch waiting for something to happen. Having said that, the plot was pretty good, as was the acting, and I'd do the leading lady (well, back then when she was young, not now). Maybe 5 was a bit harsh.

Happy start of another year of your life.

Brute Force.
One of the dullest, most pitiful things I had the displeasure of sitting through.
And I didn't care too much for Freedom Fighters aswell, despite everyone saying it's "One of the most underrated games in years!"
-
Infernal Affairs- 7/10
Confusing and over-dramatic, but very well done and very stylish. I'd also like to acknowledge the great stunt direction aswell.
Can't wait for Scorsese's take on it, which should be coming later this year (The Departed).
-
Bah, sod that. I won't be happy until Catchphrase is back on air; and I mean with Roy Walker and Mr. Chips, not the crap set up they had in their last few shows.
-
I don't think you can exploit this three day return policy at Game. They keep track of every time you bring back a game, so if you bring back every game you ever bought from the store just to save money, the next time you bring a game they'll just say "Piss off, cheap-ass theiving scum".
Well, that from what I understand anyway.

I wouldn't stalk anyone, on the grounds that it is illegal.
But if I were to, it would be this girl I had an obliterating crush on since the day I laid my eyes on her.
-
Wasn't 20 games the size of the Gamecube's launch, aswell?
It's weather the games are good or not which count.
-
Yeah, Happy Birthday.
-
The Constant Gardener- 8/10
Very good. Slow moving, but also very intriguing, gripping, and also quite powerful. Plus Wiesz has an arse which is asking to be spanked.
Goodfellas (again)- 9/10
Better the second time around
-
Nothing really, apart from possibly listening to some upbeat music; but usually I just wallow in my own misery.
Well, aswell as trying to trick/think myself into thinking things arn't so bad.

Did this the other day. Got 135, so if Odwin never had existed, I'd be the smartest here so far. Go me.

April Fools this year is on Saturday, therefore I will be asleep until afternoon, therefore I'll miss the pranks.

Hmm... I was always under the impression that he already had a knighthood, but never bothered putting 'sir' in front of his name.
Ah well. Good for him. He deserves it.

I thought this one about The Godfather was quite witty...
Want to understand bad melodrama? Take Mr. Cranky's one-questionquiz:The head of one of the largest Italian mafia families -- a family comprised of the likes of Don Corleone (Marlon Brando), Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), Sonny (James Caan) and Michael (Al Pacino) for example -- comes to you and asks for a favor. This favor might be inconvenient, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility. Your response is:
A) You agree to do the favor.
B) You negotiate a bit, with the intention of agreeing.
C) You say "I need to think about it" and then don't return any of the Godfather's calls.
D) You spit out your cannoli and call the Godfather or his representative "a stupid !@#$%^ guinea."
Pardon me for being a bit skeptical about the intelligence of the characters faced with such decisions in "The Godfather," but it seems to me they're a bit quick to decide that "D" is a wise business decision. I mean, if you're a little dim, you may well think about answering with "B," but let's face it: If you choose "D," you're just a frickin' moron who is probably best removed from the gene pool anyway.
Two significant characters in "The Godfather" pick "D": Jack Woltz (John Marley), the film producer who won't give Johnny Fontane (Al Martino) a job, and Moe Greene (Alex Rocco), the Las Vegas casino owner. Without their unbelievable stupidity, "The Godfather" would have been about nothing more than Italian guys sitting around at home.
Anyway, that Lep. 3 review was hil-arious, though.

8. Welcome to your life/ Theres no turning back
9. Once I was young/ so unsure

Good good.
Didn't someone from the show also say something about a Futurama movie, aswell?
-
good job so far guys.
I was going to post that pic, but being in this overly-cautious world, the mod's would have considered it child porn and killed me.
Anyway, here is possibly the most iconic shot of the 20th century

Lucky Number Slevin
Saw this today, and because it has been out for some time now, I was naturally the only person to attend it at that particular showing. I was a bit late to it aswell, and when I walked the film already started, so I guess that shows that even if no-one turns up tot the film, It plays anyway.
Anyway, back to the film. If you liked Snatch, you'd love this; it's sort of like that, but more serious. Very clever plot,rich cinematography and a well thought out script. An all round awesome flick. 9/10
Big Fish
Very Bizzare, yet heart warming, and as clichéd as it sounds, the script itself was almost magical. Well shot and emotional and all, but got a bit dull from time to time. 7/10
