I'm the best troll on this site, I just can't exercise my muscles very often otherwise I'd get in trouble.

In film news, I saw Julia's Eyes. No other country even comes close in the last decade to the Spanish at horror.

It's probably helped by the fact that Guillermo Del Toro decided he liked the country and now has an army of proteges making films. :p:

I liked Pans Labyrinth, especially the part with the Hands for eyes monster thing. I think Guillermo took creative liberties with some of those monsters, but it works

Yah I just meant with some of the monsters he made, he's pretty imaginative and all, but not necessarily with the film plot

Heard he has a new project atm... need to refresh my memory on that

I'd be willing to bet 4Chan gets all over that... The Room 2 will probably win Best Picture next year, or something :colone:

She seemed okay with it all. We watched Star Wars and Raiders yesterday, she much preferred Indiana Jones.

You've done this society proud. :king1:

Now you must do something extremely important.

Stop at The Last Crusade. Go no further. :colonhash:

Film binges after exams always feel good. You don't feel guilty for not revising. When do you guys get results?

15th June. Though tbh I only had one exam and it's only worth 40% of one module. Because of my coursework marks I can get as low as 54% and still end first year with a First. :cool:

When there is an army of savages, each likely a skilled hunter within his own right, firing hundreds of arrows at you as you lumber your way up a rope ladder, and not one hits you, originality is not enough to remove you from the facepalm list.
