  1. Yea i agree with that.

    Also there's a 4th REC due out in 2012.

    Weirdly even though quarantine was an unneeded shot for shot remake of rec for The American audience quarantine 2 is going to go in it's own direction away from Rec I think.

    I like the sound of that film you listed above I'll check that out

  2. The original title of this topic is relevent to me at the moment, recently got the first 3 Pirates of the Carribean BluRays and going through them, just watched the second and I'm really enjoying them.

    As a huge fan of WDW it's great fun spotting references to the PotC ride that the films were based on. Some influences from Monkey Island as well no doubt although Monkey Island originally took some influence from the PotC ride I believe.

  3. Come on Gordon, you know very well that what you're implying isn't true. Nothing to do with demographics and everything to do with geography. There was no step change in the demographic profile of the town circa ten years ago, but what did happen was the rat-run across/through the Mall connecting the main clusters of pubs was closed. This was the sole reason for the demise of the town centre nightlife scene. Little did the planners back in the 60's know that what they were proposing ( including one of the largest night clubs in Europe) would half a century later strangle the town's night time economy. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Let's hope the old Market site can be developed with all this in mind.

    Yep, when I first started going out 10 years ago we used to start over at Marleys then onto T-Bar (toffs) then up the stairs accross town to Bentleys, O Neills, then the lounge, cafe manyana (i think thats what it was called), Blakeys and then back over to the cav.

    Now there is nothing over where Cav etc was and it has slowly killed it off. If it was just to do with the population then surely Preston and Burnley would have died a death as well?

    When Blackburn started declining badly a few years back I thought a walkabout or even a revolution may have kicked some life back into it but it's too late now I think.

  4. Off to the Villa in Clitheroe on Saturday for a mates 30th, there's about 45 of us so not expecting much and never rated it too highly in the past although some rave over it.

    Not stricly on topic but we stopped at Mrs Dowsons for an ice cream on saturday, I had Pear Drop and Saspirella and they were bloody brilliant.

  5. watched Super (not 8) the other night. Very odd film. Not a patch on Kick Ass although fairly similar in nature. Quite liked Ellen Page's character at times but then it was really over the top at other times.

    I saw a trailer for that it just looked like a blantant copy of Kickass. Is it the guy from the US Office?

  6. Are we talking about the original B movie or the B movie remake of the B movie?

    Should check out Aligator while you are at it.

    I watched Jaws 3 the other day, words cannot describe how bad the effects are in the last scene of that film.

    But I was talking about the B movie remake of the B movie with added DD's.

  7. I was trying to drown myself in coke to alleviate my suffering.

    The polar bear kind or scarface style?

    Watched gangs of new York on channel 4 last night seen it before but what a bloody good film, Daniel Day Lewis owns the part of butcher bill. Also added a few Will Ferrel Blurays to my collection (stepbrothers, anchorman, old school and elf) he's very love or hate and suffered from over exposure but those 4 films crack me up everytime.

    I also got the first 3 Pirates of the Carribean on bluray with my disney movie reward points so going to try and watch those at some point.

  8. I have had to turn the 3d right down on zelda, I keep getting a double vision type effect on it.

    Still even in 2d its amazing and is pretty much the reason I bought the system, as soon as I heard the ocarina again on the advert I was sold.

    Loved it back in the day and love it now.

    Just ordered PES for the 3ds should be interesting

  9. I know it's been mentioned on here a couple of times before but me and the Mrs tried La Salsa in Darren last night for the first time. Excellent! As much as you can eat tapas dishes for £14.95 (think it's £9.95 Mon to Thurs) and we managed a cool 16 between us. I'm sure that can be bettered though! There's 44 tapas dishes on the menu. Mrs CLB had a glass of wine, I had two pints of Estrella (on tap) and we bumped the overall bill up by having two sweets & two coffees, one a Baileys. £53 the lot.

    The place was very busy with most of the tables being taken, upstairs and down, which created a good atmosphere. Could just do with a few more Spanish style paintings etc on the walls upstairs to give it an authentic feel. Will definitely go back soon.

    My experience there wasn't as good as most peoples, but we went on a Saturday with a group of us, the first round of tapas was really nice but then every round afterwards seemed to get smaller and not as good as the last.

    It didn't help that they had obviously over booked and the party who were next at our table were basically stood next to our table waiting for it

  10. We really enjoyed Naga, they've done the place up really nice as well. Came to about £44 all in with 2 starters, 2 mains plus rice, chips and 2 naans, a beer, a wine and a baileys so about average price, maybe top end compared to the Darwen ones.

  11. I've enjoyed it so far but find little time for games at the minute so only a few hours in

    I did get a 3ds for my birthday though which seems a nice enough bit of kit

    Also I picked up Enslaved for £8 or so and really impressed with the opening couple of levels, very polished

  12. I watched [Rec]2, the atmosphere in those films are so tense, the first is scarier but I thought the sequel was a worthwhile addition, I think they are made scarier due to the fact you have to concentrate to read the subtitles.

    Suprisingly I've never seen Rango, will add it to the list though.

  13. The animated short before Cars 2 is menna be really good though!

    The Toy Story one?

    Apparently people are impressed with the trailer for Brave but it's only attached to the 3D showings.

    I'm really excited about Disneys 'Wreck it Ralph':

    The film tells the story of Wreck-It Ralph (John C Reilly), an arcade game Bad Guy, who is determined to prove he can be a Good Guy

  14. Pixars run is over. Cars 2 currently at 33% on Rotten Tomatoes.

    The original is widely considered their worst film up to now but it's a monster merch seller ($10 billions worth) so you can hardly blame them for making a sequel.

    Ah well Brave is out next year and looks awesome.

  15. Well I know a good curry and I've had some there in the past not been for a bit though that and Bukharra are some of the best around IMO.

    Shaajan could be awful and still be packed though with the Bulls head crowd.

    Got a birthday coming up and was tempted by Bukharra but will probably plump for Sukhis followed by a couple in Darwen
