Does the offer extend to spotting ANY racist characters in the movie? Because if so I'll take my cheque right now, kthnx. I don't know who or what or where they'll be, but they're always there. Somewhere. Waiting.

Interesting! Personally, I really do like the film (Routh's wonderful, and Spacey's Lex Luthor is my favourite ever). I can see it has flaws, but I absolutely wouldn't take out the Lex-stabbing-Superman scene, that was one of my favourite bits, I thought it was really effective. On the other...

Congratulations! I found myself wasting some time in a supermarket magazine section yesterday, and I ended up picking up and then discarding four different games magazines. At first I couldn't work out why they all seemed thoroughly disappointing, with their slavish brand-exclusivity...

I tend to carve into the side of hills and mountains - I like the idea of creating buildings out of what's already there. So similar to you, it usually ends up looking almost invisible but with bunches of glass windows in the mountainside. I've made stand-alone houses, but they usually come out...

This! It's a shame the bodice still looks like it's made of flimsy plastic that she's about to fall out of any minute, but I'm so incredibly glad they've got rid of the heels.

Bollocks. Pun fully intended. :P

OK, Microsoft, here is your choice for the day. You can EITHER: a) claim to be ready to change the world (implied: for the better), OR b) segregate your vision of the future into WOMENS (who are only into casual and social games and like things to be in bright cheerful colours and need the...

Another vote for cautious ambivalence - it could be a pretty bad idea, but on the other hand it's much, MUCH better than attempting to make it into a film. Which two things from the whole run of Sandman would you choose to turn into the A and B plots of a Hollywood film? TV shows are allowed to...

Yeah, too late. I'd still be willing to give it a go, despite the reviews, if it had come out on the original release date - what can I say, the chicken advert got to me, and all of those amazing voice actors, I'm weakening just thinking about it - but I've had A LONG TIME to cool off on it now...

I have an LJ and still go there most days (I suppose it depends on how many of your friends have them and update fairly regularly) but I'm so uninterested in this. LJ does the thing it does fairly well, I don't get why they think messing with it is the way to make it better.

Heh. It's true - this movie is made of 100% pure Oscar bait. Still, this review made me pout a bit. I can't help but think, omg you joyless meanie Moviebob. I mean I know you gave it 3 stars which isn't actually a BAD review, but still. I thought the King's Speech was lovely. At least 4...

Yup, me too. Love the Sims, love RPGs and fantasy - unless it's eye-gougingly badly put together, and it probably won't be because they're pretty good at making Sims games by now, I'm so there. (While also having a life, girlfriend, career etc, just for the record, not that I get defensive...

Interesting. This is kind of an alien mindset to me - I suppose it's just not really how it works in my corner of the internet. On the other hand, when I do have a really really strong view on something I often don't put it out there not because I'll be accused of being some kind of weird...

I don't know whether to thank you or CURSE YOU. This review (and the X's Adventures in Minecraft videos) made me decide to get it and now I'm utterly hooked and damn you I've got work to do...

I liked Cloverfield - shakycam has its place, but its place is in movies where the intention is to make it difficult for the audience to see what's going on sometimes so as to (theoretically at least) make people pay close attention and wonder what's happening in the bits of the world they can't...
