Awesome turkish food on friday night, followed by Wii and spliffs
surfing on Saturday and lying in the sun, followed by steak, Wii and spliffs.
Wii and spliffs on Sunday and a bit of shopping.
Yesterday involved sleeping, then going to the beach, swimming and then having a barbecue. Can't beat a barbecue on the beach, although we didn't have any fish to cook which felt a bit wrong.

Sorry for not texting you about playing MarioKart. I was a bit Wii'd out by the end of the weekend so I watched The Expendables instead.

More importantly
anyone seen Four Lions? Any good?

horribly offensive
you'll probably love it.

I hated it.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 9:55, Reply)
I enjoyed it
it is an action film, and nothing more. It's got a good amount of gore in it, it's fairly amusing in places.

Jet Li could have been better, but the rest of them are alright. Jason Statham comes off best I think.

Is he all cockney in it?

No. In this one he is a cut-glass Old Etonian.

It could happen

Your faith in Statham's acting ability
is both touching and deluded in equal measures.

His American accent is dreadful.

You should hear Roger's

That's the first time I have seen "Acting ability" and Statham in the same sentence.

(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:17, Reply)
yeah
but he kicks some full on ass.

There's this bit where he finds out that Charisma Carpenter has been shagging some other guy, then finds out the guy hits her, so he goes and beats the shit out of him and all his mates.

I saw that coming a mile off

didn't stop it being good though

(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:01, Reply)
True. When I realised that she was probably going to get smacked about and then he was going to smack the other guy about
I started looking forward to it because I knew it would be brilliantly gratuitous.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:03, Reply)

cool, shame as I love little Jet Li. Can't wait to see it now.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 9:56, Reply)
I predict you will enjoy it
it's a no brainer, but then anyone who expected more for it deserves to be disappointed.

I'm hearing fantastic things about Scott Pilgrim
and I'm off to see Salt tonight
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:01, Reply)
I'll be interested to hear what Salt is like

(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:01, Reply)
I thought it was incredibly dull
but I have a fairly short attention span.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:02, Reply)
Empire said it was a bit shit
and I tend to agree with most of their reviews.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:04, Reply)
it doesn't surprise me
it looked quite shit from the trailers

I may buy shutter island this weekend
Need moar films
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:18, Reply)
May I also recommend Whip It.
It's brilliant in almost every way.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:21, Reply)
I really want to see that
Just the trailers make me want to take up rollerskating.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:23, Reply)
After watching it I googled
'roller derby in the south west'. I'm gonna sound gay but it's really lovely and really funny at the same time. Plus Ellen Page is a brilliant little actress and all the 'stars' are spot on.

Avoid
Centurion


I thought I was going to love it as it had Dominic West and Michael Fassbender in but it was a little shite.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:56, Reply)
I'm not expecting to think once
I just want to see some of the heroes of my childhood in one final hoorah. And then on Thursday I'm off to watch Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:01, Reply)
It's ok, I was a bit relieved because I wanted to play Harry Potter.
Did you like the Expendables? I thought it was ok but could have been a lot better and there were some bits that were just shit.

EDIT: you've already answered, so never mind.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 9:54, Reply)
there were some shitty bits
ending was a bit gay, but generally I thought it was alright. Glad it was short too, would have been crap if they'd dragged it out.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 9:56, Reply)
Charisma Carpenter's character was pretty pointless and so was Mickey Rourke's
and I hated that they tried to make it all soppy and emotional, it just didn't work properly.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 9:59, Reply)
yeah, but I could sort of gloss over that
when people started being shot in half by a fully automatic shotgun.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:01, Reply)
I loved that massive gun thing the black guy had, it was brilliant.
It did annoy me in the big fight scene that there was always a handy bunker for them leap behind and that they were just throwing explosives all over the place without liaising with each other at all.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:02, Reply)
Black guys massive gun?
I think you were watching a different film...
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:06, Reply)
There was just one black guy
the token black guy of course. And Jet Li covered the oriental contingency, it was like a United Colours of Benneton ad.

I thought the wrestler with the spaz ear was a pointless character though. And Steve Austin is one ugly man.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:19, Reply)
the guy with the spaz ear is a cage fighter I think
or UFC or something.

The English bad guy was a bit shit too, but apparently he was the lead in the live action version of Fist of the North Star, so I can't be too hard on him.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:27, Reply)
See there were so many pointless characters.
I assumed they'd just stuck the cage fighter in there for some kind of wrestling showdown with Steve UglyFuck Austin, and I was right.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:38, Reply)
there was a lot of wrestling moves going on
let's hope they get The Rock for the sequel
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:40, Reply)
Oh my god that's what the film was missing!
I knew there was something. It was severely lacking in eyebrow.

Anyone called 'Charisma Carpenter'
should be kneecapped and thrown in a secluded lake to drown.

in her defence
she is quite hot
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:13, Reply)
she's really lame though
what has she been doing since Angel? Fuck all, because she's shit. I think she was in a chocolate bar ad a bit ago.
(, Tue 31 Aug 2010, 10:19, Reply)
she was in an episode of Legend of the Seeker
strangely she looked rubbish in skin tight dark red leather.
