Yeah, like there’s a person who hasn’t already tried to play their xbox/ps/wii whilst blind drunk anyway!

I would recomend that you watch ‘death at a funeral’ only because i hate you and i feel like robbing two hours of your life…

only becuase you have a very successful blog you understand….

Thought Angel-A was great, though I’m not entirely sure I came out of it a better person! Black and white, Paris as a film set, some musings on the nature of love if that’s your bag … It looks great, naturally.

Interview was also really good – Buscemi and Miller both put in super performances in what is a very stage-y production. I don’t know why the article describes it as being nearly two hours long, it was less than 90 minutes.

Wouldn’t you actually get kids trying out drunk driving with the game with ads like that?

I didn’t think the anti-drink driving ads in the game were a bad idea, I just thought they were a missed opportunity.

The ad is a stale “don’t drink and drive” poster – that wouldn’t even do much in the real world any more… why don’t they have something like:

“You’d have a hard time playing this game if you were drunk, now just imagine if it was a real car. Never, ever drink and drive.”

Only snappier so it’s easy to read in a high-speed race

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Seen this recently. Excellent film.

Saw the Tarantino half of Grindhouse. It was dire, unbearably boring until the final 15 minutes. Admittedly those 15 minutes rocked but just were not good enough to make up for the dirge that preceded it.

The Host is one of the smartest horror flicks I’ve seen in a long time. Korea has produced some cinematic gems in recent years and this is definitely another fine achievement in a genre where it can be hard to seem clever or original.

Grab Grindhouse if you can, its well worth it, but maybe follow it quickly with death proof. I know it got slated in the US, but really they are two special movies that attempt to break the Hollywood cliches a bit. Well worth it IMHO.

Sorry man, like the hoody but not for 200 odd.
