El Pibe

Ooh there'#s a bottom 50 at the bottom. I've seen bits of 3 of them. Battlefield Earth, it was just bewilderingly bad, i had to switch off after about 15 minutes as it physically hurt!

I actually enjoyed Knocked Up, but yeah, top 100 films of the decade?!?!

36, but i haven't managed to get to the cinema in about 5 years. I'm glad Waltz with Bashir is up there, i did manage a trip for that. The lord of the rings are technically and visually amazing whilst simultaneously being quite boring, but perhaps critics came away still wowed by the time they did their piece. Remember all scores are reviews at the time averaged, not in reflection. Pixar deserrve to have a few in there. first half of Wall-E is masterly, I loved Up and the incredibles. Surprsied Toy Story 3 not there.

troll the forum then move upwards to trolling grieving parents' twitter accounts?

yep there's an unspoken 'your little cotton socks' in 'oh bless...' Which is why i like to use it to annoy people :D

apparently this one will be much less on rails, and won't do the usual new item = access to new area schtick.

me too, but they have milked it. I've heard good things about the new one though, here's hoping (and might get a wiiu for the kids for crimbo

Ben Croshaw just described zelda fans as "A bunch of milk-eyed simpering cunts who can be brought to the theoretical limits of hhuman ecstasy by tri-force patterned tea-towels." Has anyone ever seen him and woodrot in the same room? Just a stylistic similarity is all. That would be very cool indeed btw. in a world where cool=incredibly geeky obviously

given that Nickelback are basically the internet's all-purpose whipping boy, they can hardly be described as 'overrated', despite their aforementioned fans who are legion.....as in they are literally demons from hell.

it's the weird cascade of characters that stick to your screen when an apopletic snorky goes off on one at the mention of Nick Cave, cats, royal babies.....etc......

Well the sounds of *THINGS EXPLODING* were excellent in the silly film ;)

surely you've been here long enough to know that TJ

"Shane MacGowan", if you can just add Nick Cave and cats to that list we might have a snorkystorm!!!

http://www.metacritic.com/feature/the-best-movies-of-the-decade Best films of the decade according to reviews at the time. Don't get Hurt Locker up there. I enjoyed it, but its a very silly film isnt it, as far from a thoughtful reflection on the human cost of imperial adventurism as you can get.

we very nearly gave up on it, then it turned on a sixpence. I think the strength of 3 was partly down to peter quinn, best character by far (ok saul cool too), so you'll be glad to know they're both still there. Sadly noone has bumped off Carrie yet :(

Blimey RTE ahead of the game....I'll keep schtum then

I've not heard it used disparagingly, I just thought it was standard cod mockney fare, the sort of thing you'd hear Ray Winstone or Danny Dyer utter. "one rule in life son, never'it a Doris" That sort of thing.

Sooooo, the opener was a bit better than last series then huh? No irritating teens is always a good start.

This thread (now in it's 7th, 8th? incarnation, usually just descends into a litany of music people don't like, which is rather missing the point.

Great work peeps, now I have danicing in the bloody moonlight earworming me!!!!!

PJ Harvey is the one that I like most in that list, but she seems to have attained some sort of god status amongst critics, and given I find her output patchy (oh but when she hits highs they *are* high) I think she merits overrated, but don't mistake that for bad. I took me a while to work out that Wavves is just boring, fuzz is there for emotional effect, not to mask the fact that you don't have a melody, admittedly he may have improved, I wouldn't know. dirty Projectors are another critics darling. I've tried to like them, I don't know if I'm missing something, but if I have to work that hard to simply squueze some actual enjoyment rather than some sort of admiration of someone's wanking ability I'd rather spend my time more fruitfully elsewhere. I do adore the national though. They've been at it for years and seem to be in danger of become darlings, though it's not really their fault in this case, they've not dramatically changed their approach in a decade. If we're going fo underrated though, Built to Spill leap to mind. Pavement stole the music press pages (and were perhaps overrated though I'm a massive fan, and Malkmus's subsequent solo/jicks stuff) and they were criminally ignored. Ooh, and I too quite like Laura, she's good at what she does, it's just i have several artists of a similar ilk in my collection who do it better. I guess she just did it when there was a lull in the music scene here, just as some other female artists were beginning to do their stuff too. Best of luck to her, good lass.

i missed the 3'0 clock deadline, and so it begins. still managed to salvage 5 points out of the rest of it, which was a bit rubbish to be fair.

Imagine is a nice song, well done. Not a great song, but clearly many hold it to be so. Greatness is a rare commodity in his solo output and so much of it is just awful, also true of McCartney (more bland than awful, though he also has more good stuff than lennon managed imo), whereas as they achieved it together with unparalleled regularity.

hell even Dulwich Hamlet have a few arses supporting them (cue chippy hipster ire)

The football circus at the top is all pretty loathsome isn't it, and Liverpool are no worse than Chelsea, and their fans no worse (on the whole) than Man U, though there are of course lovely (misguided) people who support them, well here anyway. I dunno, the closing ranks around suarez (several times) really irked though. Not a hint of 'hands up that's unsupportable, but he is good and you took on paulo after he pushed a referee, or bowyer twice depsite him being a racist thug' yeah fair point would have been my response. Nope, they defended and attacked and over a number of issues always the same. ootball fans are hardly great representatives of anything, but my club right or wrong is as bad as my country right or wrong, well fair enough but i hope you lose....every...time.... Yeah, that was our FA Cup and it still hurts, but I didn't take it personally to Liverpool then, so it wasn't that. I grant you you did exactly all the good things i described but then you're a nice intellignet person, exception rule bloke who is even willing on occassion to say liverpool were gash and deserved to lose, not a trait common amongst your fellow fans whereas it de rigeur as a west ham fan!! (though met a few arseholes down there in my time!!!!)
