  1. That's the beauty about Ichi the Killer and Miike's films. He generally leaves it to the viewer to decipher what happens at the end. Do spoiler tags work on this forums? I could tell you what I thought. Testing edit: hmm guess they don't work on these forums then.
  2. I'm surprised people struggled to follow Vanilla Sky. It explains everything very clearly... Any Lynch title is pretty difficult to understand, but I don't think his titles are about following a storyline as such. You gotta pick out the symbolisms and parallels with our world that he's trying to make. Check out David Lynch's "The Grandmother" - one of my favourite Lynch movies.
  3. I got me tickets for the world premier of Land of the Dead. Showing at this year's Edinburgh Film Festival (in August). Tickets are selling out fast... Romero himself might be there w00t.
  4. Cool tune but actually, P is a Thai horror movie. http://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/movies/show/p/
  5. Anyone going to the Edinburgh Film Festival? - Land of the Dead World Premier! I'm going. It gives you a good chance to see films that everyone else will be raving about in 1 or 2 years time. The highlight I think is gonna be... George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (International Premiere) This is so eagerly awaited. Romero's 4th film in the 'Dead' series - tickets are selling out fast. Also gonna check out a rare screening of... Dominion: Prequel to Exorcist Paul Schrader directed Dominion: Prequel to Exorcist. However the executives were not pleased with the psychological thriller approach - they wanted more MTV style nu-ass cheap scares so hired Renny Harlin to give the movie a good raping. The end product is the pile of turd known as Exorcist: The Beginning. Now for the first (and only) time in the UK, Dominion will be shown in its original form. Reviews have been positive, saying that it's a very decent psychological horror. Considering that the film will never get a commerical release, this is your one and only time to see it - unless you can make your way to another film festival. Other films I'm seeing 36 Quai des Orfvres Bittersweet Life The Moustache P And hopefully Serenity - the movie version of that TV sci-fi series Firefly. Also all the directors, actors n stuff will be there. Eliija Wood for example will be promoting his new film about English football hooligans.
  6. A little dude storms into the doctor's office and is absolutely furious. "DOCTOR DOCTOR," he shouts, "I'M ONLY 30cm TALL!" The doctor replies, "Calm down, you'll just have to be a little patient!" **************** Where does Sadam Hussain keep his wine? In a rack (in Iraq)! **************** How does an eskimo build his house? Igloo's it together (he glues it together)!! **************** James Bond walks into a bar and places his order. The bartender makes a martini, then takes a dump into the glass and hands it to him. James Bond responds, "I said shaken...not turd!" **************** A girl came skipping home FROM school one day. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "Yes, Honey, it's because you're blonde." The next day the girl came skipping home FROM school. "Mummy, Mummy," She yelled, "we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, b, c, d, e, f, g!" "Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mummy?" "Yes, Honey, it's because you're blonde." The next day the girl came skipping home FROM school. "Mummy, Mummy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!" And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36Cs. "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, mummy?" "No, Honey, it's because you're 25."
  7. I know why the Roman chicken crossed the road... ...she was afraid someone would caesar...
  8. Pretty amazing stuff... http://earth.google.com/
  9. Great game! Not sure what I did but got there in the end. Pfewf.
  10. You could not be any more correct, that show ruled. I watched the American version and it's funny how they play it. The players are more bitchy, back-stabbing and concentrate more on misleading the other teams than finding their own way home. In other words, they play dirty. But back to this show, you should enjoy it (at least the first half of the season). However it starts to get annoying when they raise more unnesecary (sp) questions instead of answering the previous ones.
  11. I don't think there's a thread on this? (Did a search anyway). What do people think of the first series of Lost? I think it's a great series but I thought the final episode was a waste of time. They didn't answer anything. They might as well have ended on the penultimate episode, which in my opinion would have concluded the first season better. There's so many theories going around as to what's happening on the island. Guess we'll have to wait til season 2 this September.
  12. I'm here to sell some imported DVDs that you cannot find here in the UK. Please note that I don't believe in selling bootlegs - all these discs are genuine. Please make sure that your players are multi region. Appologies for the crappy pic quality. I used my phone. The Big Swindle - South Korean Region 3 (imdb link) - 15 Very slick and clever South Korean movie - makes Ocean's 11 look like child's play. Highlander: Immortal Edition - US Region 1 - 15 There can be only one! This is the best version of Highlander available anywhere, worldwide. Comes with an exclusive Queen OST + sturdy metal casing. This thing's the beast. Chasing Amy: Criterion Edition - US R1 - 14 Don't have a picture but click here for the artwork. As you can see, the beautiful b&w cover art is a lot better than the dreadful coloured UK effort. This DVD is made by the same company who made the excellent Brazil DVD, Criterion. Payments by cash, cheque or bank transfer (preferred) please. Advertised elsewhere. Thanks for looking.
  13. I thought it was cool how a few characters didn't have lines. Had to communicate with body language. Yeah can't wait for the DVD.
  14. Aye that's the thing. There's an advert for Burger King which featured Paris Hilton but it got banned in the UK. I can understand if they don't show it before 9pm but maybe afterwards is OK. Anyways, the British public's favourite pastime is bitching about TV adverts so I'm not that surprised anyway - especially after the KFC fiasco (the one with the singing emergency helpline women singing whilst stuffing themselves with KFC food). Banned Paris Hilton advert can be downloaded here: Right click, save as
  15. Only in my opinion - but there is no comparison between Greggs and Subway. Subway is the ultimate; comparing it to Greggs is like comparing Stonehaven to New York. For your money, I believe you get a lot more from Subway. Greggs is sometimes ok (I live above a Greggs), but I can't stomach all the grease...eugh. When I'm hungover I don't complain though. I love Subways, but yeah sometimes the staff can make a dodgy sandwich. If made properly though, mmm all those salads, meats, sauces etc. yum yum... Again only in my opinion.
  16. Something to try and waste time. Has this been done here yet? Go to Google's image search website here. Search your name, show us the first image it finds. Typing my name reveals the one and only image here: http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/stonekeep/1126/rufus13th.jpg Not very exciting as you can see - hopefully someone else can get something cool.

  18. Desperate Housewives is a fantastic series overall in my opinion; also had a superb finale. Answered all the major questions plus left on a cliffhanger. I've seen other series such as Smallville and Lost - however both of them had dud episodes whereas I think Desperate Housewives has always been consistently entertaining. Cannot wait for the new series, roll on September/October...
  19. http://www.sithsense.com/flash.htm Pretty neat - guessed mine in 19! (Was thinking of a coffee mug)
  20. Well Aberdeen desperately needs a good cinema. There are only 9 screens at the UGC. Not sure how many Vue has. As a result, neither cinema offers a great choice.
  21. Any ideas when it'll be finished? Do Odeon have a monthly pass?
  22. See the area next to the bus & train stations, they are building a cinema there right? How many screens will it have? Furthermore, which cinema chain will be running it? At the moment, the choice of films to watch at the cinema (in Aberdeen) is pretty limited. The Vue and UGC are far too small. I was wanting to buy a UGC card but it hardly seems worth it. I know that a lot of top titles don't even make it to Aberdeen. Only the Belmont really shows the contemporary titles I'm after. I guess living in Glasgow for five years, I've been spoiled by the towering UGC we have here. I move back to Aberdeen after the summer. Any info appreciated. Cheers.

    Shrek 3

    Cool where'd you get this from? Many thanks.
  24. Multi-region rules. So what DVDs you got that require a region change... and which country are they from?
