neekoy Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Neekoy, Nelsta, I have no problem with you not liking "Juno" but I think you may be possibly mising the point of the film. I think it was to point out that becoming pregnant aged 16 need not be the end of the world. It can have a happy ending for all concerned. Which the film did. (Damn, given away more of the plot!) To expect an unhappy & miserable ending would defeat the whole point of it all. I'll agree with you that Juno did have a rather snappy & clever way of expressing herself, which the character didn't necessarilly need to do, but if she wasn't that perky then the fim would have been rather contradictory in that Juno would have been a bit thick, but the plot would have depended on her being pretty sharp. Anyway, each to his & her own. If you didn't like it that's what you didn't like. I've ordered the soundtrack, 'cos I thought it was great. If you like that soundtrack then you should get the Napolean Dynamite one. Quote

I wasnt having a punt at you....It wasnt just the ending i didnt like. I mean come on a 16 year old girl gets pregnant.....and no one bats an eyelid.As i said it was just all sunshine and birds singing all the way through. But you know each to there own....i'm still of the opinion That Big Trouble In Little China is the best film ever. Quote
Rovermatt Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I saw Jumper last night. It's pretty pants save for the awesome effects and Rachel Bilson's sheer loveliness. Quote
adopted scouser Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Rambo tonight You know exactly what you're going to get, and it feels great all the same. 'There Will Be Blood' tomorrow night, or is that tonight ............. Quote
modes98 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I saw Jumper last night. It's pretty pants save for the awesome effects and Rachel Bilson's sheer loveliness. I'm expecting a fair bit after the big build up with the trailers i have seen. We will see. Quote

Nelsta Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Just been mooching about on imdb.com and got all giddy at seeing this.Arrested Development : The Movie. Anyone that ever watched this show will know why i'm so giddy about it. The best sit-com from the states ever.Well in my opinion. Please please let this happen. Quote

I have been desperate to see this myself. I think its going to be a 'straight to video' title. Which is bad really. There was a screening of it in the UK at cinemas but it was extremely limited, so limited it wasnt even shown in Manchester. If anyone has any info on it let me know, like dvd release date etc..

I just know there's like tons and tons of people who forum on IMDB and justr ave about how amazing it is. In other news, I also did enjoy the show while it was on the air. Quote
Nelsta Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Shame it cancelled to make way for reallity tv shows and what not. But i think the fact it was pulled adds to how good it was.In that it wasnt around long enough to be crap...much like FireFly. Quote
colin Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 The soundtrack to "Juno" has arrived. I'm playing it & smiling. Quote
American Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Over Curb Your Enthusiasm? I hardly think so. Not too big on watching him bitch and complain all day. AD was a great show, very quirky and different. I'd have to say the the first season of Sledge Hammer! was the best sitcom ever. Or maybe Scrubs, even though the number of re-runs of it shown nowadays is overkill. I'd suggest people watch 30 Rock, as well. Not a big Tina Fey or Alec Baldwin fan, but it is a really funny show.

bellamy11 Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Arrested Development is a quite wonderful comedy. One of the cleverest and well-crafted things I've ever seen. Absolutely wasted on Americans (). The prospect of a movie really excites me. I've tried so so hard to like Curb. I bought season 1 and watched all of season 2 as well. I can sort of see why people like it, but I feel like I'm just watching the same episode over and over and over and over again. It's exactly the same every time. Give me AD any day of the week. Quote

Nelsta Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I know somebody mentioned it a while back. But i was in Blockbuster today and came across a copy of The Host for 6 quid.So i thought Meh why not??. All i can say is i am so pleased i bought it...Superb!! Funny, Scary, Emotional, Tense...Just superb! Quote
Flopsy Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Terminator 4's just started shooting. Christian Bale to play John Conner Quote
Rovermatt Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Yeah but McG's directing so it'll blow very badly. Bale must have been offered a fortune to get mixed up in that nonsense. Quote
adopted scouser Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 it'll blow very badly You've gone all mid atlantic, when really you're just a few miles away Quote
Rovermatt Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 You've gone all mid atlantic, when really you're just a few miles away Noted. It'll be unspeakably rubbish. Quote
