Yes Elchele! Yeah, nothing ever lives up to internet hype. Also, the then fresh film's ideas and themes have been cannibalized and incorporated into popular (sci-fi) culture over the past 30 years. Which is the same problem a movie adaptation of, say, Gibson's seminal cyberpunk/VR novel Neuromancer would have today. The Matrix already did it.
I'd still sell Fry's sister into sex slavery if somebody were to make it though. Nolan pls.

Chloe was the best actor in that movie, and all she did was play football and listen to Joseph Gordon-Levitt cry like a bitch so the time.
I need more sci-fi in my life

Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a mess. The Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker stuff was good but everything else just falls flat.
My problem with the film is firstly everyone is connected, in a way. Peter's father worked with Osborne, Electro was an engineer in the Osborne labs, Gwen Stacy was an intern there and apparently, Sinister Six will probably be a creation of the Green Goblin.
You have a huge fucking Spider-Man universe but you choose to link everything together into a glob of plot paste. Way to go.
They also tried too hard with the film, to make it more different than the previous trilogy. It became as much as a mess to me as Spider-Man 3 is, except it's a little bit better with a romantic subplot that doesn't have a emo-looking, dancing Tobey Maguire.
EDIT: Anyway rewatched Terminator 2 and Aliens yesterday. Both still fantastic, only thing that looks dated is mullets, Paul Reiser's hair and some practical effects.

I preferred McGuire, thought ASM was watchable but ASM2 was just fucking awful. Only good thing about that film was Emma Stone
and then her character died. Sony need to just the rights back to Marvel, can't get any worse

It's a movie that grows on you for sure. I didn't think much of it the first time I watched it.
Then something just clicked when I watched it again by myself. I think it's mostly because I'm not trying to follow the story and just really soaked in the movie and every little detail in it.

Speaking of Franco, his Instagram page is horrendous. He's one of those people who would take a picture of their shit and call it art.

I can't tell
I can't tell
I was disgusted by how un-disgusted I was at 17 Again. Fuck me. Would watch again.
See also Lena Dunham.

500 days of Summer is a good movie that I hated 90% of.
It had that Manic Pixie Dream Girl going on and then the film pleasantly surprises you with the twist that JGL was just putting the girl on a pedestal. Unreliable narrator and all that.

My favorite
part was that Reality/Dream part near the end at the party. It hit all the wrong notes.
soul crushingly depressing because I'm sure I've though like it too

I think that scene resonated with most guys tbh, 500 Days of Summer is a film about the brutal honesty of most relationships

This is the squad that I like the most, it could be because this is around the time when I first started watching United.

if youre talking about never relating to it, imagine you going to see Barca against a Liga Adelante team and it turns out you lose 10-0.
If you're talking about literally not being able to understand, I'm saying that I've been in a scenario like that, and it was really depressing seeing it on film.

I remember when I was 11 and everyone kept saying Beckham was shit.

Well, if I were doing an MBA you'd be correct, I'd need to bump it up a few points, but as I don't have £50000 to spare I'm not doing an MBA, just a masters in management.
680 is probably just shy of what I would need to go to the number 1 school in the world for MiM, but suitable for anywhere else. I suppose I would have to retake it if I really ballsed up the Analysis section though.
Anyway, after looking at the university requirements a bit more, I decided German probably wasn't the best option for me and that I'd be better off going for Spanish. I did 2 years of German when I was 11 compared to no Spanish whatsoever, but it was so far back I'm basically starting from the same place.
The next Spanish test is on the 22nd of November, so I guess I've got about 40 days to learn ~500 words and basic grammar and conversation. Nice challenge.

No football at the Amsterdam Arena tomorrow. But a running event
You doing it???
I have a Nike 10k in two weeks. had been training for half marathon but then started suffering from piriformis syndrome, which I hadn't had for 3 years. That took two weeks out of my training and I just started training again today so sadly had to settle for 10k because I didn't know when I would be back training. I had been hoping to clock in under 40 minutes this year, but now it will be touch and go.

Alan Hansen on an ITV sports comedy show. 22 years on the beeb and not once did he say something funny.

I enjoyed almost every single Marvel movie. Stupid fun, they mia san mia and they don't take themselves as seriously as DC movies. And of all people, I would expect Wooden to get that -_-
500 days was pretty cool. I understand why people hate JGL though :lol he was in EVERYTHING during that period

Just finished 1984 (or Nineteen Eighty-Four for the bellends in here)
One of those where I only read like 5 pages at a time once or twice a week, then can't put it down for the last 50 or so pages. Dat slow burn.
Kristen Stewart describing it as primarily a love story makes it clear that she either hasn't read it, or has fuck all reading comprehension.

I prefer Animal Farm, just a much easier and enjoyable read than 1984.

Finally I am gonna put right one of my biggest gaming mistakes. In 2006 HMV were doing a buy one get one free and I wanted James Bond Everything or Nothing and then had to make my choice for the free game. There was the sexy resident evil 4 steelbook that my friend was telling me to get, but instead I went with some generic WW2 shooter.
Today I will put that right and start RE4
Today I will put that right and start RE4

So what is good about RE4??? The controls are the worst I have ever experienced. It is almost unplayable for me.

It's a very well-paced game, lots of variety and it's just loads of fun. Perhaps if you had bought it back then, you idiot :lol :lol
It's one of my favourite games of all time.
I felt the same about MGS2. Needs a rerelease with competent controls.

I hope I will enjoy it and get use to it. I know everyone raves about it, but just moving feels so awkward now. Just completed the first section and will give it another play after I have finished cleaning
I love MGS2 controls, maybe that is my problem lol

I can understand he went to Galatasaray for the money, but he could have gotten much more if he got into a decent European side + licensing

I burned through that book in like 2 days. Now, if you want to talk about slow burn I would suggest Atlas Shrugged, and not just for the sheer size of it or all the philosophical metaphors but for the 50 page monologue by one of the characters in the end. That shit is slow burn.
