One of the most overrated movie series of all time, terrible B-Movie acting and not scary in the slightest.. Give me the Evil Dead trilogy anyday:pac::cool:

Angron

They are still making those movies? I liked Saw for its OTT gore, but the series wore thin before it ended, and the same thing is happening with PA.

Dont forget the granddaddy of long running horror films; Halloween.

Must be about 15 of them now including the rob zombie remakes. And about 3 or 4 of them are good.

Well to be fair, the first movie was a bonafide amateur movie. :P

Just watched Liverpool vs Gomel, 1-0 win but we were so bad my eyes may bleed.

Stereomaniac

How the mighty have fallen. I wonder are there many children getting named after Ian Rush.

Does anybody know how long a comedy gig in Vicar St. usually lasts? Heading up to see Jim Jefferies in September but have to get a bus back to Gaillimh at 00.15 and the gig starts at 7.30/8.30.

When I've gone, it's typically about 2 hours max. Most seem to do a set of 45 mins (be that them or a warm up), a 15 minute break, and then about an hour. But it really depends who you're going to really. Dara O Briain hits the two hours on the nail, but I know I went to see Neil Delamare once, and the show was only an hour and a half, and only about 35 minutes of it was him :P

Not at all. They did what they were told, but I had loads trying to chat me up

Mr.Nice Guy

Man, the Brits are doing fabulous at the moment at the Olympics. Any chance we could get Gaelic games an Olympic sport (we'd maybe get a bronze there).

Lord TSC

I love Jessica Ennis. Shame she'd probably destroy me with her abs :P

DM_7

Memorable Olympics night for sure.

I was Glad Ennis won, she was under huge pressure and really excelled despite it. I hope she gives the Hurdles a go, she keeps improving at them and no doubting she has the endurance to last a few more races.

Roger Sterling

A boy JohnJo Nevin. Class boxer and one medal in the bag.

Mr.Nice Guy

Yeah great win for Nevin. I was worried when he took that body shot but he recovered well.

It would be great if Annalise Murphy could get us a medal in the sailing tomorrow. She's been great so far. Hope Katie Taylor does the business too. She's taking on a hometown girl so I hope that isn't going to be a big factor.

Also pleased to see Bolt win tonight. Kinda hoped he'd go and do a world record though.

Roger Sterling

Have a horrible feeling the judges might rob Katy for the home boxer tomorrow. Shell have to make sure and thoroughly outbox her to be sure to be sure.

GTR63

The judging has been dodgy at the boxing alrite.
Anybody watch the football this weekend, i'm bored to death of the 24x7 Olympic coverage at this stage.

Furious-Red

Great win by Taylor today in the boxing

Just saw that, someone on facebook posted about it. I hadn't really used it tbh.

Charisteas

In related news, and more importantly wrestling related, lets just say an overdue server bill has been paid. Sure some of you will know what I'm talking about

Lord TSC

Watching Burn Notice and "The Big Show" comes up in the credits. Wasn't expecting that...

jaykhunter

I dunno what you're on about Charisteas! But in other news the website PWT is down for the time being, and XWT announced that PayPal froze their account - they're behind on their server payments and if they can't get the funds together they'll be offline soon.

jaykhunter

Watched the first episode of The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber!) and Emily Mortimer (Rachel from Shutter Island). Intense, interesting, they set up the characters well but there are a ton of sweeping perfectly formulated diatribes every few minutes with the same characters that take it out of the realm of reality. But in generally, very well put together drama. Probably not for me though.

The opening jaw-dropping speech from Jeff Daniels saying America isn't #1 should be seen by everyone though.

I'd hazard a guess he is talking about one of those.

Every site that I keep a good ratio on keeps going :mad:
