I can't believe that he was with Mila Kunis for a while.

Who wouldn't want to be able to watch Home Alone and say "I tapped that"?!

Smirnoff?

Am currently trying to think of a suitably witty response to both.

Yeah, that's one of the names he goes by (has so many accounts). And by some disturbing coincidence (he's spying on us), a little while after you said his name, he sent me a PM ~~demanding~~ reminding me to +7 rep him because I had 'assured' him I would...

Stolen from another thread. But i think it's nostalgia.

You can keep all your new features, pokemon and battles styles, just give me a magikarp, pikachu, diglet, pidgy, caterpie and a Ghastly and I will prevail.

Nostalgia indeed. What Gameboys did you guys have? Remember carrying around the B/W Gameboy...all the other kids had their Colours, GBAs and SPs :cry:

SP kids sucked. :pierre:

At least me and Cambo (from the looks of it) stopped at GBA. None of that SP and Micro shizzle. :hand:

Has anybody here came across any films which have had a good concept, but which has been badly executed? Jumper and Invention of Lying spring to mind for me. On the opposing end, The Butterfly Effect had a good concept which was well executed.

Well pre-SP I only had GBC (which I bought after winning bingo on holiday :biggrin:

) and I thought the SP was pretty!

I agree with The Invention of Lying.

Duplex? Phonebooth? 4.3.2.1? The Da Vinci Code? :holmes:

Alien: Resurrection I think. I agree with Jumper and The Invention Of Lying and I'd like to add Ronin to them.

Conversely I think True Grit (the recent one) was the opposite - a bad story (or, at least, too 2D for me) that was very well executed!

It did seem a little odd that I've never spoken to him and was just met with such a rude "are you a medical student or what?". Oh well, it seems there are some very peculiar people on TSR...

Paycheck is my fallback example for this. Fantastic story, and a good crew (directed by John Woo, starring Affleck, Thurman, Eckhart) but it just doesn't quite come together. I really loved it when I was younger though. I am always willing to try and overlook a film's flaws if you can see that it's attempted to do something original, daring or ambitious.

Daybreakers, that's like the definitive great concept poorly executed, also agree on Jumper

My brother had a GBC, which I frequently ~~stole~~ borrowed. I bought a retro GB from a neighbour when he got his GBC, which I used until the GBA came out right next to my birthday. I scorned the SP, and eventually got a DS. Which I sold after a few months.
