No, the problem is I can buy the game, but I can't install it.

"...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

Oh, no? It's logical... I guess English is a far cry from being logical then. :D

Event Horizon and the Time Machine remake are both crrrrrrrap.

But I guess I can see how people who don't know squat about science fiction (or science) could enjoy them. You know, the "Armageddon" demographic. :lol:

Umm, we were talking about watching films, not making them. Do I need to use smaller words?

Regardless, any discussion of good films would only include Event Horizon (IMDB 5.5, Rotten Tomatoes 21%) and The Time Machine remake (IMDB 5.7, RT 25%) as negative examples.

Hey, watch it. I know several big lads who will happily come round your gaff and smack you till you sing EV's praises. It may well be a mish mash of horror genres, as you put it, but it's got cool models and Laurence Fishburne and whatshername in it, so I like it.

'Twas the first 18-cert film I rented, and I watched it alone and I thought it was pretty creepy. A million watches later and it still is.

And I thought the Time Machine was fairly entertaining for a Sunday night down the Cinema, but I haven't seen the other version nor have I read the book, so I'm in no real position to pass judgement.

IMDB rankings are entirely user-based. And there's nothing wrong with enjoying bad movies. The problem is when people try to argue that a bad movie is actually a good movie.
