    You know, The Incredibles was pretty damn good, my snobbery in regards to animation has been humbled considerably this year. :p

    Did you enjoy it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    Did you enjoy it?

    My Mother watched it with me. She never commented but probably thought..."Jesus, what is my daughter watching!"

    I try not to watch the adverts as they give away alot of the good stuff.

    I did actually like it.
    The Master...was just plain insane!

    There is one thing I will say about the programme....they do drag it out in some parts. I've noticed it in other episodes. But they always quickly recover thankfully...
    WOW I just hit a button and totally messed up me screen :eek:


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Yeah they did the Master right. and yeah it did drag a bit :(

    Enjoyed it for the most part!


    Let me know if I can help with your screen issues :D

    GOD I love The Master. Jesus he is a mighty actor.

    As for the screen thing...I was typing the reply very fast and accidentally(spelling!?) hit a few buttons at the same time and brought up something.

    Those whole shortcut thingys.

    This new guy they have for the Doctor. I'm not happy. Not happy at all. Seen a photo. I shall give him a chance though. I'm fair like that.

    Can't really talk to Doctor Who fans as I can't remember the exact names of every single character he has met, and so they dismiss me :(:(

    Everything ok with the comp now?

    John Simms is really good as the Master all right. He hams it up just right :)

    The DooM is a big Doctor fan and he does not dismiss you! :)

    Every Doctor should be a contrast to the last and I really trust the guy in charge of the series from now on so I have high hopes, despite the fact he does kinda look like the emo doctor :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe


    Is David Tennant gone?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Is David Tennant gone?

    Literally 1 hour of him left. New years day at 6.40.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe

    Oh right. How many versions of him are left? It's like a max of something or other. Haven't watched it in years though.

    13 regenerations of which DT is number 10. I would expect this not to be a hard and fast rule though.

    I know several ladies who all agree this is a distinct possibility. Even the stoic DooMlip trembled watching the Sarah Jane adventures episode today which preceded the last adventure... the Doctor turns round to her and asks her if she thinks anyone will remember him.

    When him and Wilfred(Donnas Dad...I think that was his name...!) were talking in the cafe....... *sniffs*

    Why David...whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy must you leave!!

    Can't wait for the second part.

    Must have been a bit annoying for John to have so many costume changes :D ha!

    That was my favourite part of the episode. I tend to much prefer the small character moments to the big bombastic scenes. Thus, I will prefer the series when Stephen Moffat takes over :)

    Ah knew it was something like that. Yeah, methinks it'll need to change. :p

    Ha! The old lady Maggie Menace grabbing and patting his ass :D
    Plus the old man who wanted to be next(after she got her photo with the Doctor) and was eyeing him up!
    Hilarious :D

    David had another thing on the telly the last night, Hamlet I do believe. Didn't get a chance to check it out though.


    That's what I'm going to buy myself right now.
    Scrooged on DVD. Bloody love that film.
    No wait...really shouldn't get the credit card out while slightly intoxicated. Never a good idea!:eek:

    Yes. This is how I will spend some of my college grant money
