Dion, posting drivel isn't inherently rude but ignoring everyone else and just posting drivel kinda is. Don't they have manners in your country?

[dion09529]

Of course we have!

[shaina]

Dion, posting drivel isn't inherently rude but ignoring everyone else and just posting drivel kinda is. Don't they have manners in your country?

Dion is far from posting drivel, and he gets zero reward for doing what he chooses, i guess he is enjoying what he is informing people here Idol...
Most people here can say that 98% of your posts are drivel (i am not one of those people;)), you said many times that the whole word section was also drivel/useless/a waste of time, but to some it was there way of communicating :idunno:..

Dion does respond, and again like you it is his choice right?? I think by now you can see a pattern of what Dion's interests are?? I myself have personally viewed a few things he posted here, some were interesting, and some were not....

Thanks Dion for the posts buddy;)

[IdolEyes787]

You're idea of manners appears to be not brutally killing strangers. Your country is even more primative than Meg has lead me to believe.

[shaina]

Of course we have!

Interesting post Dion, be even more interesting if it showed who was committing the crimes??

Most people here can say that 98% of your posts are drivel Fake news. No way it's only 98%.

Also anytime that someone begins a sentence with non-specific terms like "most people" or "someone told me" you can bet what follows is total fiction. I know this is true because a guy I know told me that.

Any more primitive and Dion would have to be black. :fear:

[IdolEyes787]

I ran dion's music and movie preferences through an algorithm and the results can back that there is a 0.0000000214% chance of him being black but a 87.3% chance that he has been abused by a male relative named Florin.

[dion09529]

Any more primitive and Dion would have to be black. :fear:

Being black would be a privilege. I could beat Bolt, be a NBA player or simply be a porn superstar.

[megabyteme]

I ran dion's music and movie preferences through an algorithm and the results can back that there is a 0.0000000214% chance of him being black but a 87.3% chance that he has been abused by a male relative named Florin.

Evidence found on the scene:

-Florin was spending the weekend at Dion's house shortly after being released from prison
-Dion's mother witnessed a pantless-Florin leaving Dion's bedroom shortly after the time of the assault
-Florin's pants and wallet (containing Florin's ID) were found in Dion's bedroom the following morning
-Dion's left buttcheeek had the letters 'FL' written on it in sharpie pen
-Dion's right buttcheek had the letters 'RIN' written on it in sharpie pen
-The morning following the incident, Dion retrieved a 1" tall magnetic letter 'O' which Dion had received for his 18th birthday in a "learning your alphabet" set from deep inside his rectum
-Florin came back in Dion's room the following morning making 'kissing' sounds at Dion while slapping him on the ass and collecting his pants and wallet

The case remains unsolved as Dion searches for clues...

[dion09529]

Florin asked me to tell you that he wishes all the best to your wife, meg. If something wrong happens to her, I, personally (and voluntarily) will investigate the case to put this bad ass behind bars.

[megabyteme]

I'll place my faith in Florin seeing the error of his ways, or at least suspicions that your family gene pool is more of a puddle (and his detective skills are on par with your own).

Watched the first episode of The Boys (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190634/). Looking forward to more!

[Caballero]

I am seven episodes into Perpetual Grace LTD, and I still don't know if I like it or not...

[IdolEyes787]

Watched the first episode of The Boys (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190634/). Looking forward to more! Thought I'd like it but three episodes in and so far not so much. Suffers from the same problem a lot of these streaming service series seem bent on - there just aren't any likable characters. There are other problems but this seems chief among them.


I am seven episodes into Perpetual Grace LTD, and I still don't know if I like it or not...
Read the synopsis and this seems to fall under the same category of no one really to root for. Someone please tell these fucks that shows like Gunsmoke, Cheers, E.R. etc didn't endure because of their plots or because they cast a transgender or two.

[megabyteme]

I am at the 4th episode (1/2 way through the season) of The Boys, and I disagree about a lack of 'likable characters'. There's a lack of purely good characters, but antiheroes can make very fascinating characters to watch. Keith Urban is enjoyable, as is the blonde superhero who is rethinking what she has wanted for her whole life. Much of the premise of the show is that the super heroes are corrupt assholes-- of course they won't be likeable. I agree there are some issues: pacing is off at times, it feels like they are laying too much of a foundation for following seasons instead of telling the best story possible for the material, and I don't feel overly connected to more than a couple characters... I am venturing forth...

There's a lack of purely good characters, but antiheroes can make very fascinating characters to watch. Antiheroes are some of the best characters in cinema and I usually find Nicole Kidman's husband to be interesting in just about anything but just not feeling it here. As for the superheroes, kinda bland even in their villiany and I didn't think the whole dopplerganger thing - "Look it's Superman/Wonder Woman etc lite!" works either here or in Watchmen. I dunno maybe it will pick up when they stop showing male nudity and get back to showing tits like the god of entertainment intended.

[megabyteme]

I finished the season, I won't spoil any more. Lmk when you get through it.

"Too Old To Die Young"

That piece of shit got deleted off my server before the second episode was halfway through.

That's the guy from The Raid movies starring in it. I don't see the need to made it all stupid with the supernatural though. Personally my taste runs more to the gritty stupid.

My penis says I may have been too harsh as I now see Katheryn Winnick and Summer Glau are both in it.

It's got the blonde warrior chick from Vikings in it. At least some eye candy...

BIG FRIGGINN MISTAKE!!! I put on "The Boys" first episode for the ex-wife and walked away into another room. :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:

(Now she wants to divorce me again!) :alien:

Hmm... On the other hand... I give her $1K per month... :naughty: ...ya gotta luv them "Supers" huh! ;)

@Caballero: Thanks Again! :)

Umm... she watched the whole first episode of "Jett" ...umm I think I see now :blink:

MTB WC 2019 - XCC Womens Short Track - Lenzerheide

[Caballero]

I am seven episodes into Perpetual Grace LTD, and I still don't know if I like it or not...

After finishing that series I can't say it left a lasting impression on me.

About done with the Wu Assassins, too. Actually not that bad.

[megabyteme]

I'm on episode 9 of Wu. Just a time killer for me.

[IdolEyes787]

I'm on episode 9 of Wu. Just a time killer for me. Ditto. Silly Highlander plotline added nothing as did suddenly introducing a bunch of new characters mid way through. If they were smart they would have had the main guy go around helping strangers a la Ku Fung to fill in the spaces around the main story. Also the trend towards streaming services giving you stuff that could play on network censorship-wise makes you wonder what the point of streaming is?

[Stehle]

I do stream a lot, but also d/l a lot. The 1080p or 4K'ish movies and TV shows can be a bit sticky streaming, so I choose the latter over the former.

(My internet speed is only about 400mbs and that may be the issue.)

Most streaming boxes have a 100mbs maximum limit I was told.

"The Handmaids Tale" season ending made me cry, I knew there would be at least a season 4.

[Had the audio book.]

(My internet speed is only about 400mbs and that may be the issue.)
Most streaming boxes have a 100mbs maximum limit I was told.

Nope... 400Mbps is plenty to stream anything out there, but if you or others in the household are hogging all the bandwidth, downloading and multiple internet streaming 4k/HD, eg Netflix, then maybe you would have an issue Stehle, i have 1GB speed now but before i had 500Mbps, and as long as i wasn't downloading constantly on Usenet, it was really using nothing close.. Again it also depends on the Internal streaming software as well??..
As for Media Streamers... I would say any latest one automatically has a Gigabyte card in them, even all the latest video game consoles have them as well.....

What media software are you using to internally stream something?? Or are you connecting a portable HD directly to the TV??

Being honest... Truthfully i do find that most of the internet streaming or cable are not really true 4k or SuperHD anyways, saying that, if i download a true BD/4K rip of a movie and stream it direct with a port HD plugged in (Remember i am talking a 80gig rip!!), it is day and night when you are really close to the tv, and the sound is more accurate, meaning the channels (i only have 7.1) are accurate, but if you are 6ft back at least from the tv it is hard to tell the difference....

Okay, yes you are correct. It seems I may have a router bottle neck (or limit) I will get a new one soon. Everything I have is hardwired. Yes, at times I d/l massive and multiple files at times while I'm steaming. Hooking my new Dell directly to the modem I get about 463ishmbs+, though I only pay for 400mbs.

My streaming box software is I guess hybrid mix of LibreELEC and KODI software maintained by a close friend with a lot of decent sites linked or sourced. (He maintains it, as it all gibberish to me.) "Every network, all the time." he sez. ;)
So... that's all good, but big shite, because my asshat ways does suffer by freezing big video at times. The BluRay shite anything at least 25gb or bigger I transfer with 3.1 USB to a 128gb. thumb drive than plug it into one of the four ports on my box. (I could go directly to the ROKU 4K and plug it in, but it may have an issue with a few files, so I don't bother.)

"...are you connecting a portable HD directly to the TV??" Hmm... No haven't gone through the wall for the DirecTV dvr with Cat 6 or 7 yet. Streaming Box IS hardwired and goes to ROKU with HDMI cable.

A new spinal issue in the neck 3 weeks ago and an incarcerated hernia (so the doctors tell he) are stopping me from doing much of the things I'd like to do right now, so here I sit pecking on the keyboard. Until the pains too much.
("incarcerated"...weird frigging word for it... almost makes me laugh, but I really shouldn't... almost though.) Long story there.

Sorry for the late response buddy, but doesn't the ISP offer you a modem/router?? Here where i am i just use the one that my ISP gives me and it is pretty good, again if you are paying for that speed, they usually give you one no??

Will try to explain on the next thing you explained:D

Ok for both of your comments Stele, i am not talking about any of your connections now, if you are connected direct to the internet wired not wifi, you will get the best speeds possible from your provider, what i should have asked really (or i missed it somewhere??), is do you have smart TV's?? If you do?? Most of them have a USB port built in and as soon as you plug in any drive be it thumb or portable it will either recognize it automatically or in one of the sources in your TV, and if it is a smart TV?? and all updated with the latest software?? It will have all the necessary codex's and crap to play it direct from the TV and not filter it through another source?? But that again depends on if you have smart TV's right.. Again all of your other connections have nothing to do with what i was trying to explain. Before all i had was Plasma's and I lost one and replaced it with a LED smart tv, and eliminated multiple boxes because i can stream right to it with software or plug a HDD right into it... The same if you are downloading as i can assume??, you are storing it somewhere right?? Well you can also use "Plex" (more popular one) or others (I use UMS to be honest), and it will have everything built into it to stream anything you pretty much download, and yes the picture quality is way better to stream internally than from the internet, so basically you are turning your home into a internal streaming place, and yes you can use any boxes that you have that has kodi in stuff on it, basically UPnP...I actually think what you are doing is tougher and you can make it easier for yourself, not move shit all over and have one computer do everything for you, if that makes sense?? And if you get frustrated!!!, there is a ton of people here that can guide you through all of that crap;)[/QUOTE]

I am really really!! sorry to hear buddy, i can tell you i don't wish back pain on anybody!!!! I know it is the worst (actually 2nd to kidney in my experience tho), i hope you get fixed up Stehle, and like i said if you are up to it or you have someone to help you at home, lots of people can walk you through to try to make it easier for you to have ease on watching stuff:)

This ... series centers on a young woman pursued by shadowy paranormal adversaries while grappling with extraordinary abilities of her own. So basically every series after 2018.

I suppose I could be coerced to watch it if Olivia Munn were to come to my house and promise to blow me if I did.

I'm going to start the new Dark Crystal series on Netflix, i'm pretty excited

[IdolEyes787]

It Chapter Two. Or Even the title doesn't make sense.

They departed way too much from the book all to the worse. I kinda liked the first one but this one definitely not. Doesn't help that they basically added a lot of stuff just to be "current". Lastly James McaAvoy as Bill? Please.....

So I watched that "Anna" movie tonight. Was actually better than expected. Despite the turns and twists somewhat predictable, overall, but I was entertained.

Halfway through "The Spy". Also recommended (I think Shaina already mentioned it somewhere).

I fought the good fight on this one-- first couple seasons had me interested. It simply lost its way once it got going. The constant shifting of alliances got tedious, too. "You killed everyone I ever loved, I hereby make this blood oath to destroy you!!!" 15 minutes later... "We must work together to destroy the [XXX] group!!!" Then most everyone gets superpowers when that was supposed to be extremely rare. :blink:

I think that was his face saving way to say that he has really bad halitosis.

I'd also like to point out that I've enjoyed shows worse than Into the Badlands. I think it's chief problem was that it wasn't any fun.
I'm sort of demanding in that I like to be entertained by my entertainment.

There's really nothing not to like about Tom Holland as Spider-Man but really poor choice of villan. Also a better balance between character development and FX gee-whizzies would have really helped. That and Zendaya as MJ is pretty enough but really doesn't have the warmest for the part. If Homecoming was a 7.5, Far from Home is a 4.

I've only watched the Tobey Maguire spider-mans. Garfield spider-mans just didn't look interesting. I'm sick of superhero movies now. Too much CGI.

[IdolEyes787]

I've only watched the Tobey Maguire spider-mans. Garfield spider-mans just didn't look interesting. I'm sick of superhero movies now. Too much CGI. Agree on too much reliance on CGI over basically everything else, I will say though that the Garfield Spider-Mans are pointless are they didn't really add anything and were more or less kinda just a redo or the orginals. On the other hand, at least with the newer ones with Holland there is something different as they have brought the character closer to his modern more teenage version.

A lot of these movies need to stop thinking of themselves as "superhero" movies though and just come at the story from a more grounded place and then add in the superhero stuff.

Escape in the Fog (1945)

A military nurse recovering at an inn from a nervous breakdown keeps having dreams where she sees two men trying to murder a third. When she meets a man who is a federal agent at the inn, she is astounded to discover that he is the man in her dream who is the intended murder victim.

I'm going to give Stumptown a try on the basis that Cobie Smulders used to be hawt. I think they make her ugly in this but then obviously because the entertainment industry is run by a bunch of homos and feminists.

Regrettably suffered through Anna (2019) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7456310/). It's for people who have never seen the original La Femme Nikita (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100263/), and want to see a cheap copy with an empty plot, painfully scattered timeline, and not a single character worthy of enjoyment or care. Sadly, not enough of them die, but the ones killed by the female assassin on her 'missions' are nothing more than paper targets. Apparently Luc Besson has either run out of ideas or no longer gives a fuck. I give it a 3 out of 10, but that's charity.

[IdolEyes787]

Treadstone.

Not quite sure what to make of the first episode. Seems like the story has potential, but the first episode was just a mess... It was like The Bourne Legacy if it was a CW tv movie. Either that or Bourne's Greatest Hits for young adults.
Either way it made me miss the godawfullness that was Jason Bourne. At least that had a lead who has the talent and charisma to be a legitimate movie star not be cast in Teen Wolf.

An exceptional movie in every aspects. Unique soundtrack, a picture that captivates the eye from the first to the last image. Con: the role of Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price) I consider it very flat, absolutely inexpressive and therefore very bad.

The Public Eye (1992)

[laughs]

We were recently asked to watch certain select episodes of The Wire for our Media Criticism class. That was when I found out about the show. I just started watching it online last week. Finished the first season yesterday. It's deeply engaging, if nothing else. I did have trouble following the accents actors pull off on the show. I'm looking forward to watching the remaining seasons. I'm also thinking of writing my term paper for the course on the show. I've already checked out Magaret Andersen et al's Sociology: The Essentials (https://www.bartleby.com/textbooks/sociology-the-essentials-mindtap-course-list-9th-edition/9781305503083/solutions) to this end. I'm trying to apply insights from the book to the show and vice versa.

Anybody watched Carrey's Kidding? Any good?

Family Guy did a parody of Michael Bay a few years ago that was less a parody of bad Michael Bay than 6 Underground is.

Actually... having read shay's and your posts on "6 Underground" I may have made it to about 10 minutes. (Wife now believes you guys are great reviewers that I just made up.) :dry:

Instead we viewed the film "The Other Guys" (no pun intended), which I had buried on a hard drive for situations such as this. :shifty: (Film directed by Adam McKay and has an ending similar, but more fluid to the M. Bay atrocity!)

By saving our movie Sunday... she "allowed" me to watch "The Nigh Before", probably a dopers analogy or lest we say... a loosely cobbled version of "A Christmas Carol" I had never seen or will never see again.

The last TV show I watched was Fleabag and I think it's brilliant, not sure if there's going to be a third season but I hope so. Anyway, any opinions on the last Star Wars movie?

[IdolEyes787]

The Witcher is pretty mind boggling in it's level of badness. ie think The Last Witch Hunter level of terrible with added expectations of it being better.

Geez. All they had to do was mimic the books, cast it decently and direct it above grade school level plus throw in a unnecessary sex scenes and they would have been golden.
Also worst cgi since they stopped using toy rocket ships on strings.

Mythic Quest, its soooo awesome and soooo funny!!!!!

[IdolEyes787]

I heard someone mention another "The Stand" production in the future... we'll see. ;) Not holding out a lot of hope considering the density of the source novel and that the series is only going to be 10 episodes (prefer the extended version of the novel and that would take a lot of condensing) and that it's going to be on CBS All Access.
On the actor side, Alexander Skarsgard has to be better than Jamey Sheridan as Flagg although I don't think Marsden is anywhere near a good fit for Stu Redman as Gary Sinise and that is basically the heart of the story. Also a Whoopie Goldberg Mother Abagail can't be taken seriously by literally anyone.

Also see that King himself has written a new ending which hopefully will only involve the epilogue as the rest of it plays out practically perfect as it is.

Are you watching The Outsider? It's pretty well done but then the story from the novel is pretty thin and if anything the series is padding it out.

"The Outsider"* is a Yes! :) , but waiting for season end since second episode. :yup:

The newer version of Holly Gibney has a lot to live up to... I liked the one from Mr Mercedes. [Audience Channel Commercial Free]... Hope there is a 3rd season... as a homage of sorts to "The Bill Hodges Trilogy" (End Of Watch), even if the story line went off the rails the first season.

I agree with most of the your actor substitutes for "The Stand" (My favorite novel!!), but I too loved Gary Sinise... as I stated before... we'll see. :)

I watched the four seasons of the Expanse on Amazon over the last few weeks and I really liked the series, I will start reading the books soon to get more out of it, and to shorten time until Season five is released, which hopefully won't be delayed due to the current evolving crisis, but hey if it will be delayed then so be it, fighting this virus is more important

Into The Night (1985) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089346/

Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, director Jon Landis as an Iranian terrorist before Iranian terrorists were actually a thing and most importantly a brilliant if small bit by David Bowie as a hitman.

Similar vibe to Kiss,Kiss Bang Bang or 2 Days in the Valley. Comedy mixed with violins.

Looks good! I'll throw in the cue. Thank you! ;)

Sunday's fare included ... "The Current War" - Directors Cut and "Amazing Stories" Season 1 Episode 3 .."Dynoman and the Volt"

Both were enjoyed by us both! :)

(Now... I never believed in coincidence but, both have something to do with electricity... after the first movie...I heard a loud knock on the door in the 3D world having to do with electricity... long story... anyway we then watched the second show .... the title's... mama always said, "Everything has a reason.".... Just haven't figured it out yet. Dunno... but I think something else is in the works.) :unsure: :alien:

"The Gentleman" & "Blow The Man Down" We enjoyed both good stories. :clap:

So what's this "Tiger King" craze about? Seems like everyone around my neighborhood has been watching it...

[IdolEyes787]

Bert Kreischer did a big thing about it on Joe Rogan's podcast and even Seth Meyers alluded to it in his monologue. People like to watch freaks, I guess.

""Blow The Man Down"

Dion says that he was disappointed to find that As I Lay Dying wasn't about necrophilia.

[Caballero]

Rookie mistake, attributable to ESL. Clearly the title would have been "As (S)he Lay Dying".

[Equalwings]

Didn't expect to, but really like Farmageddon. Lots of references and subtle jokes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RecHCOkgOvI

[Caballero]

That Sonic movie wasn't half-bad.. Or maybe my standards are beginning to slip in week 3 of quarantine.

[Stehle]

"The Call of the Wild" (2020) followed by Amazing Stories (2020) S1E5 "The Rift" ...both were well enjoyed! :)

"Stand By Me" (1986) 1080p [Remastered] (Thanks again Cabby!) [Adaption of SK's "The Body".]


-Also-


"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986) 1080p ...found a (Remastered or Remuked) 5.1 audio copy a bit over 25gb*! :unsure:

i found out the ex had never seen it! So, I had to make it special, as the music in the end sequence is so critical! Those two films will never get old!!! ;)

*Worth every byte! ;)

Just got to luv you some...Rodney! ;)

Watched... "Penny Dreadful City Of Angels S01E01 Santa Muerte (2020)" The ex liked it... (Which is unusual. :huh:) ...I nodded off after 15 minutes. Given my sleep schedule is way off...

I'll give it another go tomorrow. (I liked the old one, she did not... witches, vampires werewolves, oh my, they even threw a few frankenstein monsters in for good measure... what's different about this? :huh:

[IdolEyes787]

The original Penny Dreadful is one of my favourite shows of the last decade but not feeling City of Angels at all. Might be the LA setting or the story or the frequent nods to woke culture but anywho me no likey.

Okay, I'll back burner it then. (I knew there was a difference if I fell asleep on it.) She's work'in again tamale, so that'll be my backup winda. Tanks! ;)

Well, I was struggling to keep/get engaged with the show, but I thought the last 10-15 minutes got interesting. It's a potentially decent set-up for the rest of the series, so I'm willing to give it another shot.

[IdolEyes787]

Sort of part American Gods, part True Detective Season 2, part Hunters with a little Milagro Beanfield War sprinkled in. The original Penny Dreadful was almost poetic at times. City of Angels seems to tend more to the crassly 'merican.
I'm sure it will get better but I doubt it comes close to the original - see currently 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, 40% top critics.

[Caballero]

So I just acquired season 2 of "Das Boot" (the 2018 reboot)...

High hopes for that one. :)

...but I thought the last 10-15 minutes got interesting. It's a potentially decent set-up for the rest of the series, so I'm willing to give it another shot.

I guess I'll have to watch it now... at least to the 40-45 minute mark. ;)

@Idol... I know, I know, I'll probably regret it... BUT....

[IdolEyes787]

@Idol... I know, I know, I'll probably regret it... BUT.... It was only my personal opinion on episode 1 which means literal nothing to anyone other than myself. Like I've been crank calling radio stations for years trying to get people to agree with me that Nicklelback is the greatest band of all time but apparently I'm in the minority. I mean like seriously, Led Zeppelin? Robert Plant wasn't even ever married to Avril Lavigne.

Five episodes in, I am not disappointed. Actually love this season more than the first one; more of a focus on the submarine rather than the resistance on-shore...

Alterred Carbon S1&2 on Netflix, re-watching bond collection in 4k on amazon while its free...

Just watched Sling blade again. Mmmmm alright Den :)

The Physician (2013)

Got my hands on the extended version; clocks in just above three hours. Time well-spent, though.

If you liked Kingdom of Heaven (2005), you'll like this one, too.

I saw a 720p EXTENDED Rip during my travels recently. Made a NZB, but didn't download yet. Don't even know if the files are get-able. The movie does look like something that would put me to sleep, though.

[Caballero]

If you are interested in the Crusades and that general time frame in history then you can't really go wrong with it.

Not quite as good as the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven (avoid the theatrical release), but as I said, no regrets spending three hours watching it.

And it's got Ben Kingsley in it.

[IdolEyes787]

Wow, it's 2020 and Penny Dreadful: City of Angels managed to make it through two whole episodes before including a ghey storyline. :mellow:

God should have made Ryan Murphy choke to death on a dick and done us all a favour.

Also Dead Meg says he can't get into shows like City of Angels where they rewrite history and make the Nazis the bad guys.

The Way Back

Should have stopped the movie at 1:17 to leave on an uplifting note.

That movie was not necessarily what I expected.

[Stehle]

Movie Day! :) ..."Scoob" (2020) [1080p] ... Rated PG ... Animation, Adventure, Comedy.... Great Time was had by ALL! :)

Too Funny to Fail: The Life & Death of The Dana Carvey Show (2017) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7544820/)

The amount of talent that was working on that show back in '96 is astounding! Definitely worth watching the documentary.

"The Hunt"...not too shabby... the ex thought it was more like a gory thriller. It was a bit. :w00t:

The Pacific

Spoiler alert: https://i.imgur.com/9V4Rrsi.jpg

[IdolEyes787]

Band of Brothers 10/10.
The Pacific 4/10 and that's being generous.

Of the forthcoming BoB the airforce series- pilots play at war and then go home to comfortable bases to fuck nurses. I spit in their general direction.

"Artemis Fowl" hmm... what can I say nicely... I wish all my grand kids were 10 years younger, so they could love or hate it. :ermm: The CGI may have been brilliant. :ermm:

Figure a mishmash of Harry Potterish, Starwasrsish, Dr Whoish, ummm Lord of the ringish, Men in blackish, Disneyish, and 90ish minutes of pleasant kidish, crapish.:sorcerer:

(I really don't know and fell asleep not long after the opening credits.) :sleep1::alien:

[Caballero]

^^Happened to watch that last night as well. Was distinctly underwhelmed; can't really see this developing into a successful franchise (unlike the books).

My little one decided to go to bed halfway through. The older one managed to stay awake for the movie but was not enthusiastic about it either.
