    You have been measured, and have been found wanting.

    Nah, seriously though, you were one of my first picks. ;)

    Cheers... just saw that actually!

    Wouldn't make a good Film mod though since my favourite film is in fact 'Step Up 2: The Streets'.

    The first thing you can do as mods is make big list threads of all your favourite movies so we can all talk about them.

    Yeah im game ball for that, a kind of "Know your mods" thread! Would KH be up for it too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    any micheal bay films on that list will have your mod powers removed and your genitals fed to the crows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,807 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    And I for one welcome our new Film board moderators. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted regular poster, I can be helpful in rounding up trolls and Michael Bay fans to toil in their underground sugar caves.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Galvasean is a Michael Bay fan.

    Now things are fair and balanced. :pac::pac::pac::D

    I for one welcome our new moderating overlords


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    We're still waiting on that list of your favourite movies, so we can all judge you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    We're still waiting on that list of your favourite movies, so we can all judge you.

    Bear in mind I have no absolute favourite, but I'll narrow it down to 5 as best I can:

    American Psycho
    Commando
    Dumb & Dumber
    Gladiator
    Jurassic Park


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    I cant understand how someone who mods the palaeontology forum can like an inaccurate film like jurassic park?


    is it cause it makes paleontologists look sexy?

    Well apart from being a classic film (despite it's scientific inaccuracies) on it's own, merit you won't find more realistic looking dinosaurs in a film.
    Any 'innaccuracies' were a result of teh scientists mucking about with the DNA!!!!!!:pac:
