    House parties with the dog inside?! Could explain his uncertainty towards anybody other than the owner coming indoors. Poor dog. You'll have to build your relationship up with him again. He needs to know you're not something to be afraid of.

    Ignore him completely on entering the house, going about sorting his feed and opening the doors. Don't make a fuss of him or acknowledge him snarling. You've entered his safe home and he has nowhere else to go to feel safe, hence appearing aggressive towards you. Fluid, soft but quick movements on your part. Nothing sudden or challenging!!

    He does sound very uncertain poor fella. Just be careful with him and leave his feeding as the last job. He does sound like he's become food aggressive which could have something to do with the house parties - you never know what drunk people would find funny!!

    Mention it to the owner all the same. They should know anything different in their dogs behaviour and be careful yourself that he doesn't catch you with his teeth. Sounds more nervous than a vicious dog, but that doesn't mean he won't nip/bite if he's uncertain in his own home with nowhere to run ;)

    Cheers I might look into that I'm useless when it comes to that stuff plus being Eircom they normally block a lot of that behaviour :mad:, but I am hooked and want more.

    My favorite shows on TV at the moment would be the Following, Breaking Bad and now The Walking Dead.

    You should check out the comics Marty. They were awesome.

    Oh really might take a look so :), is that were it originated? Im a newbie to The Walking Dead, only started watching last week because it was on Sky Demand and had heard so many people talking about it, I now get the hype.

    Yeah it comes from the comics. It's a similar story but obviously it's been tweaked for TV. I watched the first season of the show and tbh it didn't sell me. The characters are fleshed out better in the comics.

    You can pick up the compendium which is the first 50 odd in one book in Easons. Well worth a read.

    EDIT : FYI Daryl is not in the comics. This appears to be a big deal for people that have watched the show first.

    You also check the Telltale game. It's set in the same universe but has it's own story. It will cause tears.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭FoxyVixen


    Was going to say the same thing bout Daryl. He originally auditioned for the Sheriffs part I think and they liked him so much, they created a character for him :) Something which I am VERY thankful for :)

    Evenin' all. Jaysus that was some day. Went to check about a part-time job, was in the yard walking around for about half an hour, me feckin head and shoulders are burned!! :rolleyes:

    On another note, watching Silent Hill. I recorded it last night. I'm about half an hour or so into it. Weird...

    Is it any good? I've never watched it because I always heard how crap it is. But I only ever heard about from gamers so I don't know how accurate the reveiws really are.

    Someone needs to bottle motivation so I can have little shot when I get into my not doing anything funks.

    It's not bad. Just really weird and at times, hard to follow. Especially the ending. I think there's a second one, I'll watch it anyway so it couldn't have been that bad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,224 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    Meant to say cheer Orim earlier but fell asleep, I certainly have a look for that in Easons, normally only read true crime books mostly but I'll give it a try :), still raging no season 3 I posted in the sky Q&A section they said it due to not having a content agreement with the supplier but are working on it.

    Or you could be just like me, and watch nearly any film at least once regardless of how bad they are, I've watched some terrible terrible fims.

    Let's be honest though. The very worst films are some of the best.

    Stand up

    Over The Top

    Commando

    I have a thing for 80's cheese.

    Or recently Snakes on a Plane so so stupid and bad yet I loved it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,340 ✭✭✭Please Kill Me


    Stand up Don't know it.

    Over The Top Seen it only the other night. Jeez! "When I turn my hat, it's like a switch...." PMSL!

    Commando - Top class. A very young Alyssa Milano in there too. Bennett was such a bad actor (or maybe it was just the script) but I loved it!!

    I have a thing for 80's cheese. Likewise! Can't beat it! :D

    Or recently Snakes on a Plane so so stupid and bad yet I loved it. Didn't see it either.

    Don't forget stuff like Tango & Cash, Cobra, Roadhouse...the list is endless!

    That was stallone wasn't it? Great film.

    Also speaking of Van Damme the live action Street Fighter film is one of the greatest things ever recorded.

    Also have you ever watched JCVD? It's great. It's a film about Van Damme getting stuck in a post office robbery. Tell me that's not the greatest plot you've ever heard.

    Watching the Space Race episodes of Archer. These are the greatest moments of my life.

    Archer is fecking fantastic.

    The Mortal Kombat series was originally gonna be a game based on Jean-Claude Van Damme, but that sort of fell through and it became Mortal Kombat. Johnny Cage is something of a parody of JCVD.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,340 ✭✭✭Please Kill Me


    @Marty, as you're into 80's cheese and cars, you MUST have seen The Wraith!!! I have it here on VHS. Cast includes Charlie Sheen, Sherilyn Fenn, Nick Cassavettes and Randy Quaid as the Sheriff. Soundtrack includes Motley Crue, Ozzy Osborne and Biily Idol. If you haven't seen it, check it out!!

    Here's the trailer....

    Holy crap how have I never seen that, letting myself down now. Ill have to try find a copy of this.

    PKM heres one for you in fact one everybody should see seen it years ago kinda want to watch it again after watching the trailer I'd say it be gas.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim

    It's well worth a watch. It's kinda of along the lines of the Coors ads he's been doing where it pokes a lot of fun at him but there's some serious in it. And he actually shows a decent acting streak in it.

    Haven't seen the wraith but I really want to. Might have to avoid the cool as ice.

    While we're on trailers, I watched this recently just because Roddy Piper is in it. Completely farcical.

    ill get right rectifying that, cant be having ya disappointed :pac:, after I've watched the new Total Recall (though shall not mess with an Arnie classic) but im trying to keep an open mind.

    :pac::pac: Vanilla Ice is what I think will make it so bad its funny kinda way plus some bike porn for ya. Is there actually any decent bike related films? First one always springs to mind for me is Bikerboyz which was rubbish.

    Bikerboyz was awful. The only bike related film you need is Easy Rider.
