Diamond Geezer's Movie Reviews
Hokay, went and saw me 28 Days Later last night. Imagine Omega Man meets Resident Evil, but English, and you've pretty much got it. Not the best movie ever, but it's got squaddies with SA80s blasting seven bells out of plague-ridden zombie critters, and that's what counts. For the record, I dunno if you Merry Cans will be seeing it, but give it a look if you can since I think it makes an excellent diversion from all those Hollywood sci-fi action movies whilst avoiding the pitfall of being crap.

DG gives it :yes::yes::yes: and a half out of five.

Also, trailers - saw the big-uber-who's-yo-daddy Two Towers trailer and :eek2:... I'm gonna need to tie my jaw to my skull, or it'll be hanging open for three hours :nod: Also, a trailer for a film called Death Watch... Movie-List.com describes it as

Quote
The story of a group of nine young British WWI soldiers who get cut off in a captured German trench, and start being killed off one-by-one by a mysterious assassin who might *not* be human.


OK, it sounds crap, but the trailer was both :shaking: and :eek2:... a squad of British soldiers capture a forward German trench which was inexplicably abandoned... or so they think (cue uber-dead German soldiers and much footage of miscellaneous body parts). I'll be there when it opens :nod:

Oh yeah, i saw a trailer today for an Adam Sandler cartoon (:wtf:) movie. He is seriously milking it out of the hannukah song.. it was a funny song but... :wtf:

I suppose i'll see it, although Mr. Deeds makes me iffy. That movie wasn't funny at all.

Just saw the trailer for Death Watch. This reminds me of a prelude I wrote for one of my Vampire: the Masquerade RPG characters. He was turned into a vampire in those same trenches...

I am sooooo going to see this movie. A war and horror movie; how can it go wrong? Well, quite easily, actually, but I'm still going to see it!:D

Dude, 'Geezer, thanks for telling me about this!:nod:

I'd also recomend any to go and see 28 Days Later if it's your kind of film. I was a bit annoyed by the slightly blurryness of the image (it was filmed using a digital camera). Go see it.

I'll also have to look out for Death Watch sounds rather interesting.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Sar... cas... m?

:wtf:

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that phrase...

[EDIT] Alright, I'll make this one easy for you - one was sarcasm, one was genuine thanks. In order that some element of mystery should remain, I'll let you guess which was which...

ROTFLMFAO!

Dude, Dekker, that must have been the funniest thing I EVER heard in my life!:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

After listening to this I can finally understand why punk rock started in England...:lol:

Of course, being an Argentine-American, I'm not sure if I'm qualified to rate anything coming out of England...:nervous:

All the same, this song kept me entertained, even if I could barely understand a word of it! :D

Those Brits are cool peeps but their diverse accents make it hard to understand them... J/K :D

I'm gonna go listen to it again! Dekker, did you record this?:)
