It's the same with Max Payne, it could have been excellent. Especially considering Mark Wahlberg is excellent at playing the bitter cop role (see Dignum in The Departed for proof). They ruined Max by putting in ****ty dialogue, and the worst thing by far is the fact that these movies normally have bad story lines, but excel when it comes to action sequences. There is no gun fight in this movie until about an hour into it, and all of the action sequences are absolute poo.

Really, please don't waste your money on this movie, you'll make baby jesus cry if you do. :pac::pac:

Hello folks,I have been mad busy this week.Looks like I did not miss much...;)

Ya, you only missed about 3 signs of the apocalypse.

Necronomicon

Has anyone played the Left4Dead demo? It's really fun. Can't wait for the full thing to come out.

So? How was Max Payne?

Best movie ever, went to see it twice last night.

ShiverinEskimo

Hmm, my saracasm sensors are tingling. Was it that bad?

eZe^

I'd rather blend my balls than go see it again.

ShiverinEskimo

Just about sums it up I guess. There's a career in movie reviews for you yet.

I hate Sports Interactive. All I want to do is play Football Manager. Will it let me? No.
Absolutely ridiculous considering how much I spent on it...

delija_sever029

I dont know why but i always hated football manager games,never found it interesting to play and got bored after 30mins,maybe i dont have patience for that,on the other hand i am buying every edition of every football game in last 10 years

Frisbee

Playing my match today. We were 3-1 down and got back to 3-3.
Last minute i managed to nick it off a defender and chipped it over the keeper... to see it hit the bar, f**king disaster...
Then I hear the Arsenal result.
This has not bbe a good Saturday. And to top it off I have to go to some stupid 21st tonight that I don't want to go to.

Anyone know how to tie a noose?

ShiverinEskimo

I know how to tie a noose. make an "S" with a rope about two thirds along and then with the shorter tail wrap it around the loops until you get to the end then tuck the end into the smaller loop and tighten it to seal it. Then attach the longer end to a suitable structure and bobs your uncle.

On the other hand though might I suggest that you take joy from the fact you salvaged a point and that you are going to a party which will potentially be full of 18 to 22 year olds struttin around wearing **** all?

Yeah but all the lads are going into town and I'm stuk going to this with the bird. Hoping if she gets drunk I can bail into town around 12 maybe without her whinging at me

Chong

I am stuck in home tonight, on call for work.

So watching Band of Brothers in Blu ray , room sounds like a freaking warzone.

ShiverinEskimo

Hmm. Encourage the trip to the 21st, get your woman tanked and encourage every oppurtunity she has to speak to other people without you while you prop up the bar. After a couple of hours and she's having the time of her life and is well on it suggest that you might "leave her to it" and let her enjoy it fully without "worrying about" you.

Then tip on with a free conscience.

Or be a prick and announce your departure when you're suitably tanked.

Super Jealous. I started 'aquiring' BoB about a month ago in 1080p - 60 odd gigs though so it's taking a while.

If you are looking for a bit of easy listening post beers, or first thing in the morning with a bit of a head on, I can recommend the Brown derbies, an accapella group who I have been listening to all evening (I have still got a drink induced headache). Particularly like their version of Hallelujah and faith but they also cover some other more contemporary stuff. Some of favorites below.

If anyone gets a copy of today's Sunday Times can they let me know? I'm supposed to be getting a decent mention in it so just wanna know if it's there.

Hello people, accidentily set my loud alarm and now i don't get my sleep in. *$Ck sake. :-(

ShiverinEskimo

Ah sunday morning hangover free. So this is what life is like on the sober side. I could used to this. And I don't feel the need to do a post-mortem on my wallet.

I actually favour Rufus Wainwright's cover for the Shrek II album out of all of them - think his gravelly voice ads to it.

Well at least your alarm isn't your throbbing head and you didn't wake up with a mouth as dry as the Sahara desert. Never drinking again...............:pac:

No bothers!

Was watching classic Fresh Prince of Bell Air a while ago and this episode was on;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u93b6EHtlAQ

Classic, but can somebody tell me the song that Will is singing at the start of the beat. I loved all those classic 90s and 80s dance songs, it sounds like it might have been in Space Jam or something.

Nice article...

Didn't realise you were born in Perth Neil? Must have moved over here when you were 3 or 4 did you, never noticed an Aussie accent!

I'd stay in Oz for the time being, economy is rubbish here at the moment

Gorby's on a friday night does go pretty old school alright, might be worth a bash! have heard rhythm is a dancer in the recent past there.



Xavi, congrats on the mention, just read the article there, welcome to popular culture! Just dont forget us little people!

eZe^

Gorby's playing music other than 'Put your hands up for detroit' or Rihanna's latest song?



I'll believe it when I see it... I hate Gorby's, but once alchohol touches my mouth the desire for wimmins becomes so great that I'll end up there 50% of the time. The other 50% spent in one of the other crappy night clubs in cork. I can't wait to go to Berlin in January for the weekend, watergate is meant to be one of the coolest clubs in Europe!

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Alright lads. Anyone know where's good(and/or cheap:P) to go out on a monday?(in Dublin)

We're hittin the dogs in Harolds cross first and then going into town but not sure where to go.(not 21's cos i fuckin hate that place) Would be more up for a porterhouse kind of buzz but no late bar on Monday's i don't think?

Don't know if its even still open actually! Haven't heard anyone talkin about it in ages.Not really what i was lookin for but cheers anyway, spose it'll be hard to get somewhere that'll be cheap and not full of dickheads/**** music on a monday:pac:

[edit] oh actually that new Bondi in the city place just opened. Seems its €2 drinks there and it's supposed to be decent so that might do the trick. Anyone been there?

If your going to Berlin, make absolutely sure you go to "Tacheles", a former shopping center in east berlin that got bombed alot and then taken over by artists and squatters. Now a bar there as well that sell cheap cheap beer and stays open all night. An artist who works next door who works with steal, welding etc (works out in the open too so you can see it being done during the day) built them a big dragon which is over the bar and shoots fire whenever they press a button. All in all pretty cool place. and again, cheap.

this is part of the outside section by day:

I'm actually headin to Berlin in January too(well we're planning on doing it). It really is a class city, was there for a few days in august while inter railing and it blew me away. We went to one of the mad rave clubs Tresor which is in this massive old textile factory.

What's great though is how we were able to pre drink our piss cheap(and tasty) german beers til like half 2 before even thinking of heading out! Then just hop on an s bahn and stay in the club as long as you want before heading back to the hostel and having a chat with some friendly hookers along the way:pac:, Ireland could really learn a thing or two from them
