I can only handle like 10 minutes of that show at a time. It's an enjoyable ten minutes, but it gets boring after that.

So how long will it take until this douche gets banned?

Hey-hey-hey, people like me are called "attention whores". I would be honoured, if such an intelligent person like Your Majesty would accept my sincere begging Kir to avoid using inappropriate insults.

Stop spamming GishyGleb.

gishygleb 02-22-2014 07:34 PM

As if this is not the thing that everyone is bound to here. Especially Oanst, whom you so desperately defend.

Nate 02-22-2014 08:48 PM

Enjoy your infraction, gishygleb.

Deleted. Inappropriate.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but The Lego Movie. I thought it was fucking terrible, the plot was stupid, the ending made no sense, the jokes were awful. The best I can describe it is like a really young child trying to impress you by trying to be funny but completely fails. Everybody else seems to love it though.

Mr. Bungle 02-24-2014 05:52 AM

Damn. I thought it was wonderful.

JennyGenesis 02-24-2014 10:04 AM

Care to explain why? I'm curious?

Or is it just that you happened to think that the plot and jokes were good? Because I thought they were awful.

To be honest I thought the plot was good right up until the scene where Wil Ferrel is sorting out the LEGO on the table and Emmet starts jiggling around, right then that totally killed the movie off for good for me as I thought it made no sense whatsoever.

Jenny so deep

Dixanadu 02-25-2014 12:44 AM

Starship Troopers 3.

oh god why

I never seen the second, but in comparison to the first, it was like a blockbuster went full B-movie. I felt a little sick after it.

JennyGenesis 02-25-2014 08:15 AM

Oh no, that song >_<

Dynamithix 02-25-2014 12:32 PM

I went to see the Lego Movie and I really enjoyed it. The animation was great and I liked a lot of the humor in it (Batman's song and the ghost Vitruvius had me cracking up). I thought the ending was a bit of a disappointment. I mean, I understand what they were going for but still, I didn't really dig that.

Job McYossie 02-25-2014 06:14 PM

I just saw the Lego movie, there is not any reason a lego movie should be that good.

Wings of Fire 02-25-2014 10:05 PM

I finished Ergo Proxy. It's supposed to be very good but I found it to be not very good. It had pretensions to be a lot of things, but could only manage to have a good soundtrack, good character designs and an endlessly adorable robot girl.




The Disneyland parody episode was really good though. Go figure it was like nothing else in the show.

MeechMunchie 02-25-2014 11:00 PM

I watched the first series of Heroes for the first time in years. Damn, that show used to be so good.

Crashpunk 02-26-2014 02:06 AM

It was. I hope the upcoming miniseries Heroes Reborn will be good. I have doubts it will be though.

Woah what? A reboot? So excite.

Myself and a couple of other Glukkons from work caught a screening of the sequel to Wolf Creek known as; Wolf Creek 2! Worth watching if you are curious enough, otherwise it didn't thrill me in the least. I give it two out of five slaves.

On a more positive note, I ended the afternoon with a lovely ice chocolate from the 'Lindt Chocolate Cafe'. Hmm Hmmm the perfect treat for any occasion!

Nate 03-01-2014 04:23 AM

Hey, EVP_Glukkon, please dial down the 'Glukkon' thing. It's funny for like two posts, but would get rather tiresome after that.


Also, I prefer the Lindt cafe on Chapel Street.

Like I said in 2009, TO HELL WITH YOUR RULES!

Well no, I didn't say that... I actually said it was just something for my own amusement to which you replied other members may throw things at me etc etc.

I didn't get to Exe Vice President by caring what others think, and looking down from the top, I sure don't care now! (Lights cigar) Everybody loves me anyway, the rest are just haters.

Nepsotic 03-01-2014 06:50 AM

Yeah, it still isn't funny. And you should probably stop spamming.

Anyway I've been watching Peep Show again, it's definitely one of the best comedies there is. I've noticed that series 2 has made me laugh the most, such a great programme. I hope they give it at least another series sometime in the future.

There's another one lined up for this year (I think!) which will definitely be the last. I think it's run its course though, I'm not sure they can keep pumping them out anymore. Hopefully it'll get a great ending.

Phylum 03-01-2014 01:18 PM

I want to know if they're going to still focus on Dobby, or introduce a new character. We had 4 seasons with Sophie, 4 with Dobby. I'm kind of hoping they won't do something big to wrap too many things up. It's the kind of show that should end with lose ends. The kind of show where you need to know that nothing's really changed about the main characters since the pilot.

Season 2 has some really great moments, especially with Nancy. It really made Jeremy develop a bit more as a character, and made way for him and Mark falling in love with every girl they meet. I can't decide if my favourite from that season is Dance Class or University Challenge.

Also I'll just leave this here.


STM 03-01-2014 01:27 PM

I'm watching James and the Giant Peach, went into the bedroom and the girlf had already put it on, Netflix I suppose. Any way, I can't see why everyone was hating on it, it's almost as quaint as when I first saw it!

Slog Bait 03-01-2014 06:13 PM

I remember not caring much for the movie as a kid and just rewatching it recently I cringed so hard I'm pretty certain I pulled something in the process. The animation is wonderful, but I seriously feel that's all it's got going for it.

STM 03-01-2014 08:48 PM

What didn't you like about it? Admittedly I thought some of the dialogue was executed a bit...meh...but I wouldn't say it was particularly cringe worthy.

Slog Bait 03-03-2014 09:04 AM

The story was incoherent. The goal was made clear, but the entire journey leading up to the goal didn't make a damn bit of sense. Why did anything that happened in the movie happen? Where the fuck did that mecha shark come from? Why was it attacking them? how did they end up in the arctic over night, and how were they able to breathe under water/ not die from the extreme cold of being submerged in that water? Where was the character development? What the fuck did the spider, the only one there that can only survive off of meat, eat? What exactly was the rhino? Why did all of the bugs want to go to NYC as well? Where all those seagulls really okay with being forced to lug around a massive peach for days on end?

And the most important question of all: Why would James turn down those delicious looking fish heads I mean really they looked fantastic I would have eaten them pff smh

They made no effort to explain anything, and as a result, every couple of minutes I'm asking questions with no closure and that's something that I personally am not fond of. Also, I don't like coming up with my own explanations for why everything happened in a work of fiction. If I really had to guess, the entire story was just one massive fever dream of Jame's or maybe the damn kid was on the verge of death or in a coma because of abuse, while his parents were just taken by a storm and the whole rhino thing was a fabrication of his aunts'. But what if the original intent was just to show off a wondrous, fictional world where anything could happen? Well, now I'm just a cynical douchebag who can't enjoy the fun fantasy elements of the movie.

The musical bits were awful. You know when you watch a show that shoves in random musical bits for the sake of it to entertain children but they're always so horrible and campy you have a hard time sitting through them? Every musical bit in the entire movie in a nutshell.

There was no flow. Every major event in the movie outside of the very beginning and very end just felt like filler. How does that even happen? I don't know but this movie sure pulled it off.

The characters themselves had no depth. None of them were memorable as their own individual beings. The only thing that stood out about them were their designs. Every character interaction in the movie didn't read as natural. It was all very forced.

In short: It was a poor story poorly executed and as a result I CRINGE



Despite all this, I'm totally okay with the aunts literally driving through the ocean to get to New York. That was hilarious.

MA 03-03-2014 11:18 AM

it's Roald Dahl.

i agree about the aunts. it's one of my favourite bits when they turn up at the end in that old piece of shit car. and i also wanted to know more about that FUCKING AWESOME ROBOSHARK THING

Varrok 03-03-2014 11:23 AM

I've just watched Gravity. The movie is not about gravity, it's about a girl lost in space.
