    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, Registered Users 2 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.

    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.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    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....

    Yeh Stallone at his finest :D.

    :pac: only watched that a while ago in a friends after a few beers Street Fighter is brilliant, Kylie Minogue flexing her acting chops :pac:.

    No never seen that have heard it worth a watch though? Does sound like a fascinating plot though.

    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, Registered Users 2 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.

    :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.

    Motorcycle Diaries. ;)

    Yeah, Biker Boys was pretty awful alright. But it's nowhere near as bad as Torque. If you haven't seen it, watch it to see just how bad a movie can be. Especially the girls fighting on bikes. Shocking stuff!



    No good bike movies though, but docu/movies would be Faster and Fastest. All about MotoGP.

    Do NOT do this!!

    Challenging a dog that is acting out of character is completely unsound advice. In fact you should NEVER challenge a dog that is clearly asking you to back off or you will get bitten. No way would I ever introduce my dog to people it didn't know by suggesting people challenge her!!

    Killer, sounds like there could be something medically at fault with the dog for its sudden change towards you or indeed a recent event may have it uncertain with people other than its owner. There's a lot of reasons a dogs mood can change suddenly. Inform the owner and ask if this is a recent transition. If so I'd suggest getting it to the vet and get in touch with a QUALIFIED canine behaviourist.

    So you are suggesting that being the weaker animal is sound advice then?
    No it's not. A dog growling or snarling at you is no excuse. It is a DOG and we are its masters. You back down and you are showing full weakness and he will remember that and will treat you differently.
    Worst thing you can do is show a dog weakness.

    From what I remember its only Aviva that penalise you for having points, having said that its been 2 years since I worked in insurance so things might have changed

    That's the thing that annoys me the most!! At one stage I had 10 points on my licence and all of them (except one) was for 8mph over the limit or 10mph over the limit. It's hardly speeding FFS! AND was caught in what would not be a dangerous place but has stupidly low speed limits too!!

    Pisser Marty, I feel your pain. Re: servicing, what does it need? Is it the basics oil, plugs, filters etc.?

    Pisser Marty, I feel your pain. Re: servicing, what does it need? Is it the basics oil, plugs, filters etc.?

    Ah stop right pain in the nads, if I was doing double the speed limit at 5 p.m I would hold my hands up and they say the cameras are in accident blackspots my hole every camera I see is alway's placed on a straight stretch of road with a very low speed limit so they can catch the max amount of people.

    Yeh just the basics I have a mate who does the likes of my brakes for free so just get it serviced and the Honda stamp for piece of mind really the Accord has a chain not a belt and Honda guarantee the chain for life once you have a full Honda service history, smart ploy by them really but Honda even for the gold standard service as they call it, work out at 250. If they notice anything or want to do anything else I always tell them no thanks. Hopefully this will be the last service I give her If I can ever find a car I like :).



    Congrats January :).

    Howdy all!

    Got a distinction in the last unit of coursework I handed up so I'm frickin' delighted. Was boarding the mark for the last two units but got pulled down on silly things like grammer/spelling and lack of referances. Only referanced paragraphs where it was asked, but apparently it should be every answer :rolleyes: So I'm just a bit chuffed with myself :D Can still aim for a distinction for the overall thing now :D

    Congrats January, are you having fun organising the wedding plans or is it a bit of a pain in the rear at times :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Went to Lidls today and bought this new tub of cookie dough ice-cream for about €2.50. MOTHER OF GOD IT'S DELISCIOUS.
    Even nicer than Ben & Jerrys! D:
    I think the brand is called McKennedys. It's American style anyways. Couldn't get one of the artist easels they had on special offer ass it weighted a ton and I don't have a car. Oh well..

    Having fun at the moment, but I'm really only starting out, ask me closer to the wedding and I'll probably give you a different answer...

    I was toying with the idea of wearing a colourful dress and putting my bridesmaids in white... Was thinking of a purple dress... but we'll see!

    Oooohh that's a great idea :D. Very alternative and you'd definitely stand out with white surrounding you in photos :).

    Should I ever get married there will definitely be red incorporated into my dress. Something similiar to this

    I did not go looking for a dress mind you, it was in an ad on ebay that got my attention :pac:

    DO EET!! The Cookie Dough ice cream is aboslutely gorgeous! I'm seriously tempted to scoop myself another bowlful but I have to pace myself. Can't go back to the bad ol' days when I'd happily eat an entire pint sized tub of ice cream all on my lonesome. Nope. Won't do it.

    Why must everything in Lidl be so utterly deliscious?

    EDIT: RE: FoxyVixen: This book right here. It is excellent!
