I meant a custom one... hence it's "own" one, not the same as any other thread.

I remember people saying that it broke when threads got big, but never how big, nor did I actually see a thread ever break.

You should have seen the mighty Dutchee thread. That, or the 9/11 thread that was created as it happened.

I saw them, I just didn't read them. There was more than one Dutchee thread, if they had all been one thread I think it might have topped this one.

heh, have got DurrTS on ignore so that came straight after you mentioning 9/11.

Lockout - 3/10
guy pierce (who apparently has bills to pay) does a really poor job of playing a serious sam clone in this Luke Besson-linked mediocre action/sci-fi yawnfest, despite having some pretty good lines. there's nothing wrong with looking down your nose at mindless action movies, but as a rule it's best not to star in them. the rest of the cast do what they can - one of the villains is almost worth the rental fee on his own and there's some good CGI - but pierce phoning it in is enough to drag you out of the story every time he's on-screen. this isn't helped by all the scenes on earth being really unconvincing, partly because of weak CGI (guess it needs the background of space to work) but mostly because whoever shot them seemed even more bored by the idea than pierce.

Hero
8/10

An elegant film that gets you to realise the strength of unity.
The fights are mostly wire-work, but the story is good and told well enough :up:

Horrible movie though, shit plot, bad acting, okay kung-fu but they ruined it with all the CG. 4/10.

The story on Hero a plus? Come on, there barely was any. The wire-fu was cool though.

chernobyl diaries - 3/10
boring and poorly lit dross from the guy who wrote paranormal activity. borrows heavily from the stalker games without managing to capture any of the drama.

Never Let Me Go: Rubbish/10

I've never seen a more maudlin film. I believe the entire film was an homage to sad-sounding violins and pianos.

But there were a few redeeming qualities.

Keira Knightley's tits: 7/10
Keira's fake orgasms: 8:10
Keira's f'ing o-face: Priceless.

She's a real minx, that one. :)

X-Men First Class: Not bad but got progressively worse. 7/10

The Tree of Life: ffs. I just don't know how to rate this. 8/10 for how it made me think about life. 5/10 as a movie.

Edit: No. I take that back. Pretty visuals and stunning space scenes make it 7/10.

God Bless America... I won't dignify it with a score, but I LMAO, and I think they were dead serious about their message. Yes a lot of people should be shot, cause quite frankly, that's the only message that would actually stick.

It's a guilty pleasure in the same way Idiocracy is. It won't change or open minds and it certainly doesn't offer any practical solutions (unless you earn your living selling bullets). It's something to laugh at, go "yeah...it's sad cause it's true" and then you go back to your day.

But yeah...any and all people (in any capacity but especially the narcissistic whores in front of the camera) who work in reality teevee...you should shoot yourselves to save us the trouble of hunting you down and spending $3 per bullet. :olo:

Snatch. 8/10
Liked it, although it gets a bit tangled up in itself near the end.
