Yet another who saw Inception last night, and it's brilliant. How Nolan could make a film so smart and yet so easy to grasp really is beyond me.

Shouldn't it be "Are England Still In The World"?
No.

...Muse tomoz. Rumours that The Edge will join them on stage?

DID COL SANDERS HAVE HIS CHICKEN OR EVEN WANT HIS CHICKEN TO BE GIVEN A MUSLIM BLESSING DID HE BALLS AS LIKE.
Funniest question ever asked.

The World Cup translated into American by comparing each qualifying nation to an American sports team. Especially funny if you know your Yank sports.
ENGLAND
Man oh man do their fans talk a lotta ######. A LOTTA ######. Not so much in praise of themselves as raggin’ on other squads. Way too much for a team that’s won it all exactly one time, and that was way back in the '60s. Since then, they haven’t even finished second. Yet they talk and talk and deify the main man behind that '60s win. As opposed to their local tabloids, who take every chance they can to tear the team apart one day, while predicting impending championships the next. This team will almost always fall before the final hurdle, but… their current coach might just be the perfect man for this team. He has them playing better than they’ve played in decades, behind a mix of veterans and one gifted youngster whose performance will be the primary determining factor of where they finish. Still, you generally have to assume that they will buckle under the double burdens of incredible media pressure and inescapable history.
ENGLAND = THE NEW YORK JETS

What is Hot Tub Time Machine like? Looked really funny on the trailers, although I've heard mixed reports.
Personally I thought it was brilliant, but it's not my usual type of film. Crude and stupid. If you can laugh at a full-length, completely serious rendition of a Black Eyed Peas song, I'd say go for it.

Rumour has it that Thierry Henry has agreed in theory to join Red Bull New York, with a fee for Barcelona yet to be negotiated.

I expect Dracula or Romeo and Juliet have been remade more, but you're right. List or Robin Hoods.
Saw Iron Man 2, thought it was pretty good. The final battle scene was a bit short and lacked tension for a superhero film, but I still liked the film.
Trailers that look good: Salt, Grown Ups, A-Team, Holy Rollers and Inception.
Trailers that look awful: Robin Hood, Prince of Persia, Macgruber, Last Airbender, Shrek Forever, Marmaduke, Splice, Toy Story 3.

Least favourite album for me, too. I'd put it down to my affection for them fading since the last album, but now that you mention it, the middle of the album is a bit lackluster.

Two great new albums I procured this week: Broken Social Scene's Forgiveness Rock Record and The National's High Violet.

Slaughter techniques have improved much like anaesthesia techniques, right? So they're the same. Your analogy ignores that we a) generally survive operations and
don't eat each other. Put it this way: if your wife woke up before an operation and they carried on anyway, would you still call it civilised just because the darkies don't give any anaesthetic at all?
-
Correct. And people don't need anaesthetic for amputations eyc either sleepyjack. Doing away with anaesthetists would save the NHS a fortune.
Don't be stupid. The two aren't comparable and you know it.
1. I know your politics are like Charlton Heston's, but do you eat people, too?
2. Do people under operation get their anaesthetics via an electric shock to the brain, or do you prefer the captive bolt technique for your family members?
3. Do 36% of people under operation have their anaesthetics poorly administered, so that they're still awake and feel pain during the operation?

Love the Ben Folds video.

Why do people who eat meat need it to be 'humanely' slaughtered and butchered? Does it taste better?

I thought the effects from Mount Olympus were quite cool. I didn't watch it in 3D.
Me neither, which is why everything coming towards the screen in that ropey 3D way really began to get on my nerves.

Even the awful glimmering Zeus and stupid 3D effects, Matt?
Recent movies:
- The Hurt Locker is just brilliant. Entirely worth the hype.
- Sherlock Holmes is rubbish. It helps if, whenever Sherlock gives another speech, you repeat "Science, science, science" in your head, louder and crazier each time. SCIENCE!
- Clash of the Titans needed more flying horses and childish adventure, less racist caricatures, plot holes and shoddy dialogue.
- Hot Tub Time Machine was a great guilty pleasure film. Puerile sex, alcohol and vomit jokes that somehow work much better than The Hangover ever did. Crispin Glover in a film about time travel! If you can find an entire rendition of a Black Eyed Peas song by Darryl from The Office funny, it's worth it.
- Green Zone tells a decent story and has great acting, but somehow manages to not be exciting when it should be riveting. Still really enjoyed it.
- Didn't find Kick Ass as impressive as everyone else, but I can see the appeal.
- Greenberg is fantastic. Ben Stiller does a great job with what could have been just another 'middle aged lost boy' character.
- A Prophet is also bloody great. Grim, violent and haunting prison film without any overdone Hollywood crap.
- Don't watch Repo Men. It's rubbish. Jude Law is rubbish. Don't watch it unless you want a headache from how annoyed it makes you.

Cannot wait. It looks so good.
Best fight scene ever:

Ozzie that kept me entertained all night, party or not. Cheers.
don't eat each other.

A-Team was terrible. The plot was stupid, though plot is not what you're looking for in an A-Team adaptation, I understand. But the comedy fell flat and the the action was poorly filmed and pretty boring. How on earth do you make a tank falling from the sky boring?
BTW anyone who saw Inception should watch
