Anybody watch the amazing spiderman film, was looking forward to it but it didn't do a lot that the old trilogy didn't already do imo.

It was so great not having Maguire and Dunst as the leads. Another re-threading of the origin story won't ever engage u that much but it's my favourite of the 4. Loved the sewer scene with lots of webs although could've used BONESAW! I got you for three minutes YEAH!

Yeah Bonesaw and the hooker valets ruled. It may have been the origin story being done again that gave me deja vu. Didn't like seeing Spiderman get unmasked 3 times either, its only the first film.

Had a pretty awesome weekend in London, the Alexisonfire gigs were outstanding! Got all the Christmas shopping sorted too.

Off for the next 3 days and have Chikara's Tournico Cibernetico to watch and my House of Hardcore DVD arrived too! Pretty savage start to December and the best is yet to come.

The new kid playing Parker was garbage, nowhere enough talented to capture the vulnerability of Peter like Maguire did. Way to smug to be likable.

I do admit that Emma Stone was quite good, Dunst despite been a bloody awesome actress was no more than one dimensional eye candy in the original trilogy. The British fella phoned it in however, especially compared to Molina who was one the best villians portrayed on superhero film recently.

Seen Argo the other day, Ben Affleck is really picking his roles quite well since he and Lopez parted. Very interesting film.:)

Garfield is that his name? was woeful as Spidey. Got Avengers to watch but I doubt i'll watch that until late Thursday night with Tna and the Champ League on. Oh and Liverpool in the europa(stop laughing). I know we have an MMA thread but I cannot wait for that FOX card saturday night.

shocked to hear people prefer the rubber faced pairing of Dunst & Maguire. Couldn't stand them and didn't think the movies were anything special, sure fans had turned on the franchise at #3. But I see what ye are saying.

If you're driving slowly and the line "I'll get you into penetration" comes on your very loud radio just as you're going past a schoolgirl, are you put on the sex offenders register?

If so, I'm going to be on the sex offenders register.

On reflection, first one was fine, second one was fantastic although it was a super performance from Molina which elevated it, third was garbage. They tried to fit in way to much and they wasted Venom which is disgraceful as their is so much to do with that character, could have quite easily built the film around it but it felt like an after thought, with a million sub plots and characters popping up every few minutes.
I'd take Stone over Dunst though, as I said Dunst is a super actress as Melancholia proved but her character is pitiful, and she phones it in especially for the third one.

Cool, is it your first time heading there? I can't say I know too many non touristy places to be honest. Most of the times I go there, it's for gigs and is usually a fleeting trip so I check out the main spots.

I'd really recommend doing one of the red bus tours, it's really enjoyable. So enjoyable I've done it twice now. I really enjoyed the London Dungeon too as I'm really into all the Jack the Ripper stuff.

If you like art or history, then you'll be sorted. Some of the galleries and museums are top notch and you could spend days in them they're so big. I have yet to go to the Tower of London yet but will check it out on my next trip which will hopefully be in Jan/Feb.

I love London, its my second favorite city after NYC. The tube system is the best in the world IMO and so easy to get around on. Like above I don't really know anywhere that is non touristy but even the tourist spots are excellent. Hop on hop off open top bus tour is the best way to do it.

I did the Dungeons too, I got a bit of focus in the Sweeney Todd part cause of my long hair :pac: The dungeons are pretty fun though.

Well into season 3 now in Breaking Bad, flying through the episodes, pretty addictive. Marked out at Danny Trejo's appearance, that guy is just a legend.

And of course THIS song.

Yeah Walking Dead is great too, both seem to be on this AMC channel in the States which I had never heard of before. Say they must be delighted.

Also seems RTE and TV3 missed the boat on Breaking Bad letting little ol' TG4 pick it up.

Huzzah, 1-0 to Celtic.

Is it scary like lads jumping out at you craic? GF is a little scared at that stuff.

I think there was a few bits like that, you can have a gander at their website to see if it's the sort of thing you'd like to do: http://www.the-dungeons.co.uk/london/en/index.htm

Fu<king delighted that Celtic went through and Juve too.
Not Rafa's fault though so shut up yob Chelsea fans it was Robbie's.
Even as a Liverpool fan I won't want to have to hear United lost to Clunge all day tomorrow.

Adam Sandler films came up here the other day. Avoid "Thats my boy" like the plauge. It is fcuking woeful. Jack and Jill was ok, but compared to this crap, it was epic.
