While I get why people like this film, I can say hand on heart I despise that film. Howard the Duck and Independence Day its all good

I go through spells of reading but when I do read I pretty much just read through crime novels my three favorites of late been The Westies ( not the ones from Dublin the famous one from New York), Killing Pablo, Pablo Escobar sure was some character and led some life and This is for the Mara Salvatrucha a brilliant but tough read based on one girls story in the MS13 .
Of the millenium series never read the books but have seen the the first of both series of films and I prefer the Swedish version myself.
Turn on Sky Action and after everyone banging on about Independence Day today bang there it is sorted. 0 -

LOL. Good timing. Well, as there's nothing on, I stuck on Air Force One. Thank Jebus for Netflix! :pac:0 -

Yes! It's even more difficult than I was expecting. :pac: That's just 'cause it's so bloody long since I was in education, though. I'll fly through it once I get started. 0 -

Aren't we a well educated bunch in here, I never done the college thing but did have fun in Bolton St D.I.T in the year I was in there as part the apprenticeship, spent that majority of time in the pub:).
Haven't seen Air Force One in a long time hows it holding up after the years? Wouldn't mind viewing it now.0 -

I spent most of my time in DCU in the pub, tbh. Still managed to get straight As, despite only going to the absolutely mandatory tutorials and labs, and never checking my notes online. :pac:0 -

Tut,tut, tut....the shame. :PMarty McFly wrote: »Bumped into one the lads a while back in town hes now a junkie was sad to see.
Bummer. Had a similar experience once with a guy I knew who had a massive win on the lotto. He left his wife, bought himself a sports car, bought a shop and went on a bender. He disappeared and I seen him 3 years later, on O'Connell Street bridge with a paper cup in his hand. I almost felt sorry for him....almost.0 -

Poor guy. That's a sad state of affairs to find yourself in that position.
Speaking of old cheesy movies.....surprised no-ones mentioned Police Academy 0 -

Jesus thats some rags to riches story :eek:Poor guy. That's a sad state of affairs to find yourself in that position.

Yehs it a sad state of affairs alright but I have to say some people I known in that state deserved sympathy other haven't but either way I wouldn't wish that exsistance upon anyone.
:pac: Love Police Academy, wasn't one character in the first four you couldnt love. With Sgt Callahan even as kid I was mesmerized by her even though I didnt know why at the time :pac:.0 -

That's really sad.
Saw it happen to a friend of mine back when I was 17, he was 22 and had been smoking weed for years, as ya do. When his fiancee cheated on him, he went off the rails. Started doing coke and acid recreationally (as ya do, I've done it myself sure), but that wasn't enough to make him forget her, so he moved to crack and heroin after a few months. Spent 4 years addicted to the stuff, in and out of prison for violent crime and theft offences. Luckily, he turned his life around and is training to be a drug addiction counsellor now, I still see him around every now and then and always have a chat, it's lovely to see someone get out of it, very rare though. 0 -

Jones and Hightower were my favourites. Next to Thackleberry of course. And who could forget The Blue Oyster.
Hey I was a kid I didn't understand why I found her mesmerizing at the time
but im sure the twin airbags she possessed played some part in it alright :pac:.
Yeh Jones, Hightower, Thackleberry and also loved Sweetchuck when he came into it.
Love this scene

Fair play to him really, sadly them kinda cases are very rare anyone Ive ever known thats gone down that path has never managed to turn it around or make a good life for themselves, and going to prison never helps always seem to make them worse. But nice to read a story about someone who not only turns it around but is trying to be a positive influence on others who find themselves in similar situations.0 -

Yeah, it's really rare, I'm surprised he managed it tbh. I always remember him teaching me to roll joints when I was 15, so that when he and the lads were too baked to roll, I could do it for them because I didn't smoke. :pac:
I've obviously never tried gear, but it must seriously fúck you up. I cut contact with him while he was an addict, because he threatened to stab me (and was sincere about it!), but he can't remember anything about his time as a junkie. He contacted me 6 months after he got clean to apologise for 'whatever I did to you because I know I must have done something for you to cut contact with me and I never meant to hurt you but I can't remember.' It's nice now though. He's doing great for himself and is back to his old self, acting like a protective big brother to me. 0
