Spirited_Away; My genuine, best bit of advice is to start with the IMDB top-whatever list and work your way through them, keeping note of any particular film you really enjoyed and the reasons for it -- the directing/acting/cast/lighting/music/script, then expand your viewings to include other works by the person responsible for what you admired. I think it's important to get your own flavour of cinema rather than just following what other people think is good. My favourite type of movie is the 'mind-fuck', which came from my typical mode of watching movies -- alone and high. From that I discovered Waking Life's intense dialogues of philosophy, combined with rotoscope animation, and spread my tastes towards Linklater's other directorial stuff (Before Sunrise and Before Sunset in particular), as well as leading me into the world of Phillip K. Dick novellas by way of A Scanner Darkly also using Rotoscope animation (and, of course, the trillion other PKD movie adaptations of win!). Everyone will have their own advice for you Just don't force it.

The hulk reboot movie thing was, I thought at the time, a surprisingly well considered movie! Iron man's subsequent stage-stealing (iirc) altered consciousnesses. The problem I have with Norton is that he made two good movies then thought he was AWESOME and made 10 shit ones in a row. I disagree with Daft saying he plays the same character in Fight Club/American History X, but I'd suggest that in both of those films he was indeed carried by a greater cast performance/storyling of shocksome value.

My girlfriend's tortoise thinks that anything green must be edible. My t-shirt is HOLEY! Also, don't make the mistake I did of putting banana on my finger. Tortoises WILL bite for great justice. Tortoises are so unbelievably fantastic. This one, Jesse, is maybe 3 or 4 inches long and 2 or 3 wide. He YAWNS, he can recognise you by your voice, he BURROWS into you, he sneezes, he used to squeak when he had pneumonia (ahem) and when he poos he tucks his head right into his shell. Tortoioses are also much faster than people give them credit for. They're just slow at making their mind up about where to go.

I prefer London-By-Sea. That is; Brighton. Plenty to do (though I never do any of it), slightly cheaper and -- SEASIDE!!! Also not QUITE as hectic.

Crawley circus festival in less than two weeks now! Absinthe chess, toast fairy, unicyle races, juggling gladiator, sign language workshops, camping sideways and the renegade tent. Win.

The first star trek one is easily my favourite, still. I think I used the old song and a crappy quality video and slightly missed the point -- too long a vid. I've seriously had this song in my head for days now, and still can't think of any better way to utilise it. EDIT: Actually, fuck that. My retro SNES guile theme matches the vid. And the editing is superb. Damn you 8 people who watched the first 10 seconds. I bet none of you got to the CD bit. Also! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbVnB8Oi_B4 the SFIV theme. Does. Not. Go with anything.

Yeah so I've sucked at reports this season. Doing only TWO!! Sorry haden. I'll do some sort of hench end-of-season report if I don't do more regular ones. Sidebar; FUCK YOU TRANSFERS! I bought a 21 6 forward, planning to couple him with a 28 9, but I was out-bidded TWO MINUTES before teh transfew window closed. Wanker. In future I'm going to do all my shopping at 22:50.

O_W; from a personal standpoint :P I've had stuff planned for each day since I made that post. Friday was the first blank in the calendar! Truth be told, I'm still to be found online for a few hours after 11pm most nights anyway. Currently using a TAR silenced/FMJ with steady aim (only 280 hipfire kills to go before i can prestige again!), marathon, bling and duel rangers for secondary. Getting a plan for most maps with this set-up, with 22-2 on Rust and 25-3 on Scrapyard being my highlights of the evening! Derail is quick becoming a personal pwning zone, and underpass is very quickly becoming very, very annoying. using snipes for wasteland more and more -- when I was trying to max out Danger Close I'd always kick ass at wasteland if the opposing team 'controlled' the bunker. I'm also greatly sucking at afghan with this set-up. With my TARs I keep on getting multikills, and I'm a fan of silenced, especially on the smaller maps, as you really can take out entire teams in seconds if you get up in them the right way!On Rust I go up the ventilation shaft and pick people off. I've been playing with care package/harriers/pavelow (care package as i was considering getting the 1000 cratedrops... but probably won't) and I was lucky to get a harrier in the care-package! Total pwnage. MW2 is definitely a "just one more go" game, but usually when I feel the urge to stop I tell myself "I'll stop after my next session on Skidrow." In two/three hours (no extra maps bought) I didn't play once on skidrow, invasion or sub-base! Possibly three of my best maps right now. Has anyone else noticed more noobs online than usual? I noticed several level-20-or-less players tonight. Not that my kill/death ratio is complaining!

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cue ... in case you thought he'd used the word incorrectly.

Sell the adapter to meeee. m8's r8, m8.

as far as i know -- yes.

I woke up fairly late, played some MW2, went to the beach and got drunk and HEY HI THERE still very very drtunk... Going to chichester with my lady tomorrow, set the alarn for 8am. I'm in love all over again.

Stunned by that result. My keeper played the best game of his career (13!) only to be outdone by fellow relegation potentials Eddage. Tales, sitting 2nd in the league, gets manager of the round for drawing with me... I played my 18 4 forward and he didn't show much potential. Most of my players are between 7 and 11 in dev. values, and I think I am on target to get the best change report everrr! I've also bought a 21 6 forward, which might appear silly... well it is... but long-term is all I'm thinking! He'll be at the least at 25 10. Week off for me now! I suppose I could do a quadruple report...

Goron -- tell me you made that Worf vid... it's by far my favourite so far

I've been playing shorty 1vs1, and he's been thrashing me! We need to get a bigger game going between us lot. I'm available sporadically, but if we agree on a time and a date, say, friday at 8, do we all have a lack of a social life enough for a game to get done?

I think I'm slowly weaning myself off of the addiction to Mafia Wars... with Modern Warfare 2 being, still, a big draw for me. I'm also addicted/obsessed with staying up til late and sleeping in til late!

Had a grand time playing putt n' putter for a couple of hours! Never played golf before. In a mess-about afterwards I managed to whack one onto the main road, nearly causing an accident... whoops. In mother-related news; I bought her a £400 laptop, and now of course she wants her stuff off the PC. Got that sorted out, and now she's saying that she doesn't like the laptop because she is "sensitive to the power coming out of it", claiming it is actually hurting her. So this either means I'll be swapping laptops with hers (which has a slightly bigger screen, bigger hard drive, larger processor, so fairly win) and/or she'll need to use a keyboard/mouse... which defeats the whole point of buying the laptop, which was to free up space in the lounge by getting rid of the desk. ENDLESS. Now for an evening of frustration with various video games!

I've borrowed QoS off a mate and am taking it slowly. I did a preusal of what achievements there were to see if I could get them in one run, and decided against it, intead I'll do two or three. But while I looked it up I'm sure I remember there being issues with some achievement recognitions, and they said effectively you gotta do it all again! Ignore sheikah, he seems to be pretty grumpy recently. Achievements ftw :P

Did my 'Guile Theme'. Apologies for the video quality, it wasn't a good file to start with. I'll use a better program next time!

jayseven is me and I'm not doing the whole thing that you do because that would be STEALING and nobody steals on brian mcoy's birthday and gets away with it. P.S. Stop being so good at x11

Excitement BUILDING..! Not booked anything yet. Totally just going to turn up and be all 'wtf'. Going to try and convince my nutter of a friend to meet me and go to the park to meet you crazies then let me crash at hers for the evening(s).

I'd love to add my own guile's theme idea but I'm a noob to all that. Installed DownloadHelper for Firefox to rip the youtube vid I wanted to add the theme to, downloaded the mp3, but Windows Movie maker doesn't recognise the movie file and DownloadHelper wants me to install a converter in order to convert the file to WMV and I don't know if I can trust it because I'm so noobish... So how would you go about it? EDIT: going to search for the fire as a WMV already on TINTNERNETS. Makes sense.

Happy birthday to be fair!

Love the hats, too :P Good use of music! Satire is always fun

Ask Dan Dare for more specifics on journalism, but I do believe reviewing would fall under that. Dan's reviewed games/gay bars for a while now :P Question is, are you actually any good at reviewing? If you did a film course you'd have a better knowledge of what goes into making a movies, the history of movies, thus a firmer place to stand and make your informed judgement.
