I do mean just deesquared.com. Flink; axe cop meets empire would be totally winner! We can be the next forum project that lasts for two weeks? (I'm serious)

It Cannot Be Unseen.

I made other points! Bah. You wanted an outside opinion.

"Deesquared" is just better. It merges your initials of DD while also putting across a vaguely reviewery tone, with 'desquaring' being a made up word that sounds like it means 'to simplify', no? Removing "movie reviews" means that you can utilise your url differently should you venture to do so in the future. Also nobody likes to type in really long urls. dsquared, dsqared, whatever funky internet-trendy purposful misspelling suits your tastes. Just, please, don't have "dudedazz" because it sounds like a child is doing it.

I had the very old-skool brick Gameboy versions where mario was the ref in tennis (boy how I loved that game...) and golf was quite a perplexing game to play for a 8 year old kid. Always wanted the Color ones but they were always quite expensive. I used to routinely borrow Mario Tennis for the N64, to the point where the guy at the video rental store would see me and know what I was after, and even would let me have it for a 10-day holiday at my nan's for the price of a day. I once even 'accidentally' put the wrong game in the case (mission impossible) in order to get more gametime with it.

Such a polarising Zelda game though, wasn't it? While OoT is actually the only Zelda I've ever completed, WW is the first one where I just went "... are you kidding me? Fuck this." I stopped at the collecting-triforce-pieces, I believe. Probably my own fault because for some reason I spent days decking out That Island with lots of flower pot things for no real reason whatsoever. I think I could go back and enjoy the game more now that I'm older, though. But I probably never will.

BOVRIL FOR THE EPIC WIN! ... It's not going to win this vote, but I'm glad Pancake is as clued-up as I am. You can get ready-for-your-mug powder sachets of bovril, or a jar of the stuff very similar to marmite. The sachets are more convenient, but the jars of the stuff are more versatile. Me and a mate in sheff (for those in the know; Andy) once had about 30 cups of bovril in one hilarious night. We'd have a bovril and marvel at how awesome it was, then watch tv/play games then one of us would go HOLY SHIT DUDE I JUST REMEMBERED HOW TOTALLY AWESOME THAT BOVRIL WAS! WE HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE RIGHT NOW and so we would... Coffee is tricky to get into. I started drinking it for a reason similar to shorty -- getting to work, needing a caffeine boost but - Oh no! I've not got any change for the vending machine. But- wha- Coffee is FREE at work?! I used to guzzle a can of coke in minutes before a shift, but ultimately I'd make a coffee with variable amounts of sugar (depending on lethargy) then make it half boiling water, half milk - both to cool it down and to adjust to the taste. Milky coffee is totally win. Tea strikes me as pointless. Anyone who as Hot Chocolate with water is insane. Not how it's meant to be done. A mention must be made for hot milk. A splash of sugar... mmmm wintery nights. Also, hey, mulled wine for teh alcoholics amongst us. All three of us.

Oh, man, had a brief session today and got annihilated repeatedly. Totally lost it. Just going to Power Through so I've done with danger close (140 more to go!) then prestige and start again.

Pshaw! They weren't tears in my eyes. They were tears in YOUR eyes. Everywhere you looked you saw tears in peoples eyes.

A closer game, this time. Noodle didn't put out his strongest side and I think in the end all that got him the W was the home advantage (and my striker that has one good game in twelve...).

Just got round to watching Brick. My main complaint is the lack of subtitles combined with the mumbling and the frequent shots during dialogue that didn't have the mouthes of the speakers. I must've missed around a third of the script. A very condensed flick that, I suppose, really just says "noir is totally dead unless you spoof it in such a way that the viewer is more concerned with trying to find parallels rather than realising how obvious the story is". Having said that, I very much enjoyed watching it. It's tense and vivid, and it's actually rather refreshing to see a 'teen'-cast movie that tries to take itself seriously, when the easier option would've been satire.

That's quite a nice read lovely bits of alliteration and consonance, I'd just say that this bit; "dore me for what I am, not this reflection Don't be floored by deception, Admire my direction" ... the pacing is a little off. The reflection/deception/direction feels too forced. If you change 'floored' or 'admire' to rhyme with the other then you may get away with it, like "Set fire by deception, admire my direction" -- or change 'floored' to a word that has similar vowel sounds to 'deception'. I think that 'deception' is the wrong word to use, stress-wise, though. The "fuck what they feed you" detracts from the general tone that the rest of the poem carries, too. If you want it to be a song I'd say that you should try and work with song structures; verses, choruses, etc. Don't be afraid to mash up a whole mixture of your writings to see how it turns out. Be brave and cut what you know isn't good!

The fucker lied to me :'(

I thought that was actually hilarious!

I'd highly recommend MirrorMask to anyone who likes a good gilliam film. While the humour isn't echoed, the imagination (thanks to a certain Mr. Gaiman behind it) is most certainly present. A must for anyone into their quirky-but-cute films.

Cruisn' USA (I think?). My mate and I could honestly never get past the 2nd checkpoint. We were 5. Like shorty, to me Korn - Follow the Leader reminds me of Rainbow Six on the N64. First game I ever completed was The Lion King on the Master System II. My pause button was broken so I had to PRAY simba'd survive my dinner. Comic Zone was teh first game I ever borrowed from a friend for the Mega Drive. Flashback was the first game that ever really got under my skin -- that truely immersed me. Donald Duck: Dime Capers was teh first game I bought, for... £10 I think? So rock solid. Gremlins 2 for the game boy... never got past the 2nd level. The time I got 240+ lines on tetris DX on the bus. Xmas one year when I got pokemon blue. Plugged 24 hours into the game by the end of boxing day. The day I bought my Gamecube (launch day), when two of my mates and I all bunked school and played monkey ball all day and my mum was cool with it!!! OoT, waking up extra early so I could play some more of it before going to school as my mate lent it to me for a week. Endless Goldeneye and Perfect Dark games with my mates. Rainbow Six: Vegas, its sequel, Gears Of War and the sequel and Army of Two co-op sessions with Shorty, where I would progressively drunker and SWEAR I was improving. Rock Band: Endless setlist. Was pretty endless. Also what must've been the last time we played it in the flat, Nami crying while singing "go your own waaaay". Was hilariouscool. Fallout 3, seeing the wastelands for the first time. Again when I found a dog. Again when I found that Dave place. Again when I met Fawkes. Again when I found the UFO! Dark Sector's brutal executions actually making me feel sick. BLAST CORPS for the sheer amounts of joy. Modern Warfare 2 is guarenteed to produce at least one memory per session, ranging from my housemate getting a tactical nuke in a care package STOLEN FROM HIM to general insane kills, rare massive kill-streaks, hilarious kids with microphones, etc, etc. Trying to find shortcuts on Mario Kart 64. FINDING shortcuts on F-Zero X. Warioland (I think) on the game boy. There was ONE collectable thing on one level that I could never find. I'd narrowed it down to HAVING to be in this one room, but I just couldn't find it. Getting a GOLF game as a gift from an auntie. WTF?! Oooh! World Cup 94 on the Master System. I'd figured out the way to get a guarenteed goal every time (enter the box diagonally and shoot), so I set the match time to be a genuine 90 minutes... and was saddened to see the goal counter stopped at 99 ISS 98; making my own players modelled after my family/friends and entering the world league. THIS LIST IS FUCKING ENDLESS

Tales; with bidding the golden rule is to alyways enter the maximum amount you're willing to bid - you'll always avoid that frustration!

Jimbob - you're supposed to tell us wtf happened the other day with the whole concussed dude/broken knee thing!

Thank you for this thread. I'm enjoying a swim in the ocean of nostalgia right now! Too many moments to list.

Found a girl I went to school with has turned to nude photos. ... She was the girl who got massive tits way too soon. Awesome.

I respect teh effort involved, but if we judged entertainment purely on the man-hours gone into it then we'd not get anywhere, and nothing would be shit ever. I was in an argumentative mood yesterday, so my comments were blunter and, perversely, more to the point. There are plenty of low-budget funny shows on the net, so that's irrelevant, and frankly if someone else had posted this then my comment would be the same. At various points I had missed several episodes and thus sat and watched a few in one go, to see how the series had progressed. I'd post afterwards with some (un)helpful comment, and a couple of episodes were actually quite funny! There isn't hate involved, just sometimes a pitiful reluctance. The 'entertainment' now, after 14 episodes, comes only from the thoughts I'm having while I watch about what I'm going to post in this thread -- that is, after 14 episodes I'm still trying to help ReZ make it a better show. Why? I've just realised that I'm watching it for all the wrong reasons. The amount of effort involved should not be directly linked to the amount of enjoyment I get from it. It should also keep its nose out of any list of reasons to watch it. Hence the 'twisted friend logic' comment. So what is the point? ReZ could seriously be an Internet Funny Man if it were concise and accurate. I did include two points of positive in my criticism, and I agree, I was harsh. ReZ; I'm sorry for being overly harsh with my posts. I've liked you every time we've met; the anonymity of the internet is a tempting idol and I think I use this forum as an outlet sometimes, needlessly assaulting other people. It's hard to tread the line between positive feedback and honest feedback. It's hard to help you make the show better if the humour isn't quite the same as mine without being offensive. I'll still be watching the show. Don't take comments to heart. Positive or negative.

I guess it's the whole you-discovering-flink's-fetishes in front of teh world that is so peculiar to me. I mean, you are both People To Be Jealous Of, so it's not out of some bust of negative energy that I say this -- I just find it odd. I just picture the next time the pair of you meet up to be an overcurrent of pleasantries, with a slowly growing notion of ".. is he going to lick me tonight? Should I let him? Should I urge him to do so? Should I go for a jog before we meet?" staccato of thoughts. And I wonder what stuff is considered private. Like, we know you can't/don't orgasm, and that flink likes sweat, yet you say that no secrets have been given away. It's mad! This interactive soap-opera of a forum is fantastic! I'm in an overthinking mood. I am sorry.

Ah. Y'see, sometimes you, as a mathematician, confuse me with your absurd use of English. So I have to verify. There's only one series of films that I actively 'avoid' -- the whole Twilight skidmark. Anti-Bucket-Listed.

Just in general when he has sex he likes to lick, and in general when you have sex you get sweaty. You're not slightly phased by this amount of personal information that is simply ping-ponged over teh internet? And yes! I would say that this is a different instance to those which you title -- those are in threads where I can be primed before I encounter such sordid tentacles of love, while here I feel like I have stumbled into a fairly private matter. Maybe I should stop the shrewdness and start saying oh god, yes, PLEASE tell me about all the naked sex you have, and your oversized thighs and his strangely weedy arms, or teh way he holds me as if I'm a fruit basked, or how I kiss her with far too much tongue, and how I actually don't like sex but I like looking at pictures of small penises because it makes me feel bigger, and how small c-- Too far. Sorry. Point; I don't really care what you say, or where you say it, I just thought I had read some 'tension' between the two of you in some posts a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd stir it up, because, even though I met Jim twice -- and went to his house!! -- I feel like we are still very anonymous and I can get away with being a cockface. And I'm in the mood to be as such. QUICK POST IT BEFORE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND JAYSEVEN!! Maybe I'm just a bit adverse to sweat? Maybe I've just not been laid in a long time?

So which is it? Worth watching, or not? Renting, or not? That's a fucked up stupid-face review that does oxymorinic stupidface. I understand that scores are useless, but they're never stupid. Stop being stupid. The movie sounded good until the last line. This is a post that compromises several one-line responses I wanted to post.
