Stereotypefest
I watched the film yesterday on C5 and it struck me as being a wild stereotype fest.

Jean Reno - token Frenchman - most interested in the coffee and lack of croissant
Japanese sailor at the beginning - who could only say "Godziya, Godziya"
American generals - shooting anything that moves
Geek - wins the day, gets the girl

How much more formulaic can it be? Good CGI though.

Oh, it's a terrible film.
But stomping around my living room going RAWR and crashing into the computer was great fun.

What actions would you take to "Beneath the valley of the ultra vixens" ?

It would be incredible if such a brilliant thing existed.

I'm impressed
I hope you were sewing masculine fabrics such as leather or denim and not delicate girly fabrics like tulle and chiffon, which is what I sewed yesterday.

Three buttons on my leather jacket were hanging a bit
so I sewed them back on.

I salute you, you big metrosexual.
My dad taught me how to darn, but he's a sailor so he's got extra masculinity reserves.

surely
being a sailor that wouldn't be the case?

my dad's well 'ard.
Not like a big gay singing sailor, like a heaving anchors, weathering hurricanes kind of sailor. He was a captain of 14,000 tonne container ships

There's nowt wrong with sea shanties.
Unless, of course, they're sang to a bumming beat rather than a proper hauling ropes rhythm.

I thinks you're underselling him a little..
I vaguely remember him saying some of them were in the 55k tonne region!! The Titanic was only 46k Tonne compared.

Only by making the baddie a british guy with strange european accent.
Then it would tick all the boxes.
