Any friend who wants you to watch Date Movie deserves to die from Swine Flu, so you should have just let this imaginary friend of yours die a slow horrible death. 

no I havent :)

But on another note, to make you feel better about films, can I suggest There Will be Blood if you havent seen it already. Not the sort of movie I imagine you would normally watch, but coming off Date Movie, anything goes :)

Or if you dont mind slightly older stuff, The Duellists (late seventies).

and ricky, wayan bros at their "best"?? 

You need to. Please. But make sure you download/steal it.

Cinema is looking quite promising for entertainment coming up - that Terry Gilliam thing, 9, Wild Things, also 2012 looks okay for a laugh. 

Wild Things, actually not so much...

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/19/parents.wild.things.are/index.html 

Yeah, Where the Wild Things Are was really bad. It was boring, because there was no point to the story. Spoiler alert, but absolutely nothing gets resolved. The kid throws a temper tantrum, and at the end gets rewarded with chocolate cake. A huge waste of time. 

... was a very big disappointment. The animation is cool, and that's about it. The plot doesn't really know what it's aiming for, there are a couple of [i]very[/i] tacky scenes, the conflict between the different characters is mostly just stupid, and the characters themselves are very forgettable. 

func_tags, they're killing me. Damn. 

and theres been mixed response to wild things, but I still want to see both. 

Useful to know. 

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)
One of the worst movies I ever saw. Don't watch this crap. 

"Feast" 2005

Heh - the first thirty minutes made my GF puke for real!
Havent seent he end yet, but for a low budget Dusk till Dawn-esque gore fest, thi seems pretty entertaining :D 

and completely rediculous. Theres a bit where a moster eats a live baby. ewww 

I think I managed about the first 15 minutes of Paul Blart: Mall Cop and had to turn it off cause it was awful! 

I love how you watched a literally vomit inducing gore-fest, were compelled to watch the sequel, and endured a live baby being eaten, but Paul Blart: Mall Cop was wayyyy over the line. From the trailer, that seems believable enough. 

i believe there's a 3rd feast? or was it some other crappy horror series? :P 

Watched that too. It picks up exactly where Feast 2 leaves off (they must have made them at exactly the same time) theres a 5 minute overlap.
The third one sucks just as hard as the second one but its fucking hilarious. Theres a character in it called Jean Claude Segal.....
And it has a weird nonsensical ending. You have to watch it just for that "WTF?!?!?!?!?" factor :D 

Jean Claude Segal
that's pure win, right there. XD 

hang on, is there a plank of wood available that can do this? 

Up

Hm, I do not recommend it. After a very sad start it gets some good fun going but then soon has wasted its (low) energy and goes into unsatisfying mediocrity. Some very stupid plot things. Whatever. 

I liked up a lot, I thought it was one of the best movies I've seen in theatres in a while, and Pixar's best, with Cars being the only Pixar movie I haven't seen. I DO recommend it. And I spit on Spirit.

:P *** <---SPITTLE 

I spit on Spirit too, Up rocks. =) 

Zwiffle is from the states and Bal is french, they have no taste! 

can anyone recommend a couple of decent tv series? Now that I've finished BSG, got bored of Supernatural, and my interest in Stargate Universe is waning, I need something new to tide me over :)

I heard good things about Dollhouse, anyone seen any episodes and can recommend it? I loved Firefly and this is another Wheadon show right?

Lots of people on here have been praising the The Wire, I had not even heard of it before, anyone care to give a quick synopsis?

Anything else I missed? I'm generally after sci-fi or "spooky" types (think x-files, supernatural etc) but I'll give anything a go :) 

The new X-Files = Fringe, pretty decent. The first season is S-L-O-W though, but the 2nd season picks up a bit.

If you can get Sons of Anarchy then totally watch that. Good shit. Accurate portrait of life in America too.

Dexter is also pretty good, but you might find it a bit over dramatic, and imo the 3rd season was kind of stale - it seems to follow a particular formula, which I hope they change for season 4.

There are some others but I can't think of them atm. 

Dollhouse is average for the first 5 episodes but picks up big time after that, so if you can handle 5 average episodes, go for it.

The Wire is a show set in Baltimore and basically examines, amongst other things, the drug trade from all angles. But it does a lot more than that. I have one more season to go, but its probably close to the best tv Ive seen so far.

Also, see upcoming review, but The Middleman is a nice fun series in the campy sci fi senseibility.

If you havent seen Carnivale, go for that too, brilliant show.
