I dislike Kate Bush with a passion
I have no basis for this dislike

I like mindless action films with little or no plot

Such as the Transporter series?

Yeah, that kind of stuff
I'm watching Killer Elite at the moment with Jason Statham and Robert De Niro

Jason Statham is fucking hilarious.

Crank 2 is a high point in his career
Who else do you think could bring to the screen a realistic portrayal of a man who survived a fall out of an aeroplane only to have his heart removed and replaced by an electric one the power supply of which is slowly running out and who has to have sex with his girlfriend on the street to stay alive.

It's based on a true story, right?

It's based on a booker prize winning novel

I thought so.

In Transporter 2 he speaks this immortal line
"No, I'm not one of the gays"

I've not seen either
though I do now have the latest Batman on DVD

The first Expendables is hugely underwhelming
It's a cast waiting for a decent movie. Dark Knight Rises is brilliant, as expected. Although not as good as the first two. As expected.

I think it's better than the first one
Also, whilst I did hugely enjoy the second one, I can't help but think that it was only good because of Heath Ledger. If anyone else had played that part, I don't think it would have been any good.

The rest of the cast is uniformly excellent after they got rid of Katie bloody Holmes
But yes, it's Ledger's film. I prefer to look at it as it being excellent casting - knowing the success of the film hinged on hiring someone who could deliver a decent portrayal of perhaps the most entertaining and complicated of all comic-book characters. Same way that the first film hinged on finding a decent Bruce Wayne.

I'm not denying they played their roles well
They just weren't very interesting.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 4 Dec 2012, 10:26, Reply)

Just because they didn't dress up as a woman and listen to green day doesn't mean they weren't interesting.

It's a good thing I haven't done either in a number of years, isn't it?

Morning.
AvP is a shit film. You are wrong.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 4 Dec 2012, 10:33, Reply)

I disagree, as I say, as a stupid film with little plot, it's enjoyable enough
They went wrong with the second by trying to give it a plot
