Hmmmm, I think that applies more to his Hellboy movies. Blade II was workmanlike action horror (it was better than Blase: Trinity, but that's not a hard thing to do).evilsoup wrote:Pacific Rim was that fatal combination of being both stupid and boring at the same time

Re: Lament 3: Cry Hard With A Vengeance
I get a lot dreams involving fear of being punished or being in serious legal/moral trouble of some kind, but I don't get lucid photographic memories of them when I wake up.

Re: Testing Chat Episode VI: Return of the Chat
Pacific Rim was a pretty solid blockbuster (but it wasn't really horror as such).

Re: Testing Chat Episode VI: Return of the Chat
There have been TV edits of Robocop where the extreme violence is edited out for more of a 12/15 rating and swearing hilariously dubbed over.

Oh for fuck's sake! The Jobcentre has finally stopped my job seeking allowance after I filled in a phonebook sized form that came through the door and posted it in on time, only to get lost in the dysfunctional mountain of bureaucracy!

I highly recommend Wolf Children - think 80s/90s Studio Ghibli, a bit more bite than today's Ghibli.

Re: Testing Chat Episode VI: Return of the Chat
Judging from the reviews and spoilers, I get the impression that the Robocop remake is like the fairly recent Total Recall remake; solidly made and watchable on its own, but kinda bland and unnecessary. Robocop 3 also suffered greatly from being a bit too bland and commercialised, even if its satiri...

OK, I've steamed right through my Breaking Bad boxset, finding most of the show addictive and mesmerising, and one death scene in particular stuck in my mind: Namely the incredibly sad and morbid death of Jesse's junkie girlfriend, Jane, when she suffocated on her own vomit because of Walter White's...

I downloaded Flappy Bird into my new Samsung tablet, found it a frustrating and bland piece of fuck, and then de-installed it.

Extremely crude, but really well made actually and for thirty seconds I thought it was the actual film footage of the attempted rape scene (and good attention to detail, with the OCP propaganda billboard in the background faithfully recreated presumably on Photoshop).F.J. Prefect, Esq wrote:jesus
