Salt was okay.

Completely agree, dicks who think it's cool to hate on mainstream things really piss me off. I ended up defending Avatar way more than I normally would simply because I didn't think it deserved all the hatred it was getting.

Watch 12 Angry Men.

Time to get off TSR.



Is it cool to hate on Twilight though? I want to be cool.





Watch 12 Angry Men or do revision for impending exam. I feel like you are leading me down the wrong path, Jacques.

I'm getting Tron tomorrow; mainly because everyone's been saying Legacy will be amazing.

Where from?

If I was to make a film in which the central plot was that to kill this all-powerful being the main protagonists had to go on a fetch-quest for 7 items where a good 60% of it was traipsing around the world, creating vastly elaborate plans for one or two things before in what appeared to be a really rushed ending all of the others magically ended up in the same place and I could ad-lib my way around messing **** up, people would crucify me.

Harry Potter gets away with so much ****. The latest film has a worse story than Avatar, and yet nobody seems to ever mention that.

The films also miss a massive trick in my opinion, retrospectively. The books work because you enter this magical world. You can never replicate that on screen. Instead, each film is starting to look progressively more and more like a book which has been filmed. Someone should have had the balls to flip perspective and focus on these kids growing up, throughout this entire decade. Nobody has ever done that before, and it would have created something really memorable. **** fanboys. David Yates has flashes where he looks as if he's going to do this, but ultimately bottles it.

Would you go on a killing spree if a Fallout movie was made?

If it makes you feel any better, I'd probably have hated it if I could be bothered to watch it.

Btw, why did you ask me about where I was getting Tron from?

Just curious, after Disney's panic moratorium I'd have been very impressed if you'd managed to buy it from anywhere.

It would never work. They'd pitch it awkwardly between humour and action and nobody decent would want to do the script, which would rid it of all it's potential. Not to mention that Fallout works primarily because you are the character, you can project whatever you want on to him and watch those actions shape the world. In a movie you'd get this taken away; and I don't want to watch someone play like a hero for 2 hours when I know I'd have got pissed off with some guy a lot sooner and just blown their town into the sky.

I want to see someone make more films on Chuck Palahniuk's work, and I want to see a biopic made about Stu Ungar. I want them to leave alone everything else I like in other media, and give me new interesting things instead.

Iron Sky has finally entered production. If you don't know what it is, you should:

Oh hell yeah.

Erm...
