    Quintin Tarantino

    There's nothing wrong with him overseeing the release of Hero to the US (and Australia too, according to the posters) - his involvement meant that the subtitle's were right, and that it wasn't edited before release, which apparently happens to alot of asian cinema. Just be happy that he liked...

    memento, the crow, donnie darko

    Mulholland Dr. is pretty much nothing like the three listed movies, neither is Requiem, or Dogville, or pretty much any of the suggested films, unless you just want "deep" films. While most of those suggested are great, they're not overly similar. For something like The Crow, I'd recommend...

    Finding Neverland

    It looks great - incredible art direction (the pirate ship sequence), and a pretty decent sense of whimsy, but it's way too glossed over, which just makes it end up seeming superficial. Despite Depp's performance, and sort of because of Winslet's performance, you never get a sense of anything...

    the OC

    Watch it, you won't be dissappointed. Best episode this season, I reckon. All the usual angst and twists and shit, and with more humour than usual ("you smell like Coop" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard)... And I'd forgotten how funny the Valentine's Day episode last season was (on...

    Mr Habib released

    He was picked up in Pakistan because he was, allegedly, an "al Qaeda sympathiser". And while the beliefs of al Qaeda may be disgusting/offensive/unconscienable to us, arresting somebody for merely supporting them goes against everything that the law stands for. If we don't follow the rule of...

    the OC

    OK, so those sites are down - anyone else know of any torrent sites that have the same files as suprnova? Cos I've got episode 6 about 1/3 of the way done, and it seems like a watse to just delete it and start over. EDIT: OK, just go to torrents.co.uk (or something like that - just type in TV...

    Carnivêle

    It was kinda cool, but I've heard that it's actually a series, not just a mini-series, and that sucks. I hate shows that have such a clear story that then have to be stretched out into a years-long series. I can see a similar thing happening with Lost - there's obviously a point where they're...

    SO - How'd the 04-erz do??

    Yep, 48 external for me too. Pretty stoked.

    Team America: World Police

    Yeah, it's a bit stupid - they were going to make it the equivalent of an R here (so it would've been restricted to only people over 17) just because of two puppets having hardcore sex. Puppets!

    Muse were much better I reckon

    Big Day Out 2005

    So that's a reason not to go is it? Because it's not as good as last year? That's just stupid - it's a decent line-up and it'll keep me more than occupied through the day, that's all that matters. Sure there are some bands in the line-up that I'm indifferent to, but there's nothing that's going...

    Don't people get the point of satire anymore?

    Big Day Out 2005

    Why do people bitch so much about this year's line-up? There's still more than enough to see in a day, and festivals are always the best way to see live acts

    Team America: World Police

    Is Matt Damon really that stupid? I mean, it was probably the funniest thing I've seen in a movie this year, but is he actually stupid or was Stone just picking on him cos it was funny? The funniest bit was when Spottswoode gets Gary to suck him off: "Annnd...go" :D

    Rant: Today Tonight

    It's the same place they film the Seven News and Sunrise shows. Is it George Street or something? I can't remember, they made a big deal about it when they first moved from their old studios, but it's kinda gotten old now.

    "Lost".

    Yeah, the US TV system sucks - shows pump heaps of money into their November and February sweeps episodes, because that's when the ratings are checked and decisions are made about whether or not to renew a show for another season (and also because nobody watches TV between thanksgiving and...

    Thoughts regarding Capital Punishment

    If the UN is disbanded, we'll never get another shot at any form of global government. The USA (and any other future superpower) won't allow it, because it would act as a check to their power. The problem with the UN is that the US in particular have decided that they don't want that check -...

    Thoughts regarding Capital Punishment

    Hmm, well, SOMETHING had to be done, but an invasion was stupid. The objectives of the "mission" were stupid, the "shock and awe" was stupid, and the current situation is stupid. There's no doubt that Saddam Hussein was a murderer and a dictator, and that countless people suffered under his...
