Pretty much all superhero movies suck dick.

I am trembling at the knees with excitement for Batman though. That's a superhero film done right.

Also, who's looking forward to Prometheus, I mentioned it a few pages back but I can't wait. I really need to see Alien beforehand though as apparently it's related in some way.

As you are OZ based this won't apply, but it's a pretty good steal at a tenner for the Alien Quad.

Half of which can be discarded! :thumbup:

The fourth is a bag of shite, but the third has its merits, just the making of is worth that price, as it shows how Fox fooked it all up with their meddling. But a tenner for the first 2 on bluray? That's not a bad deal. There's a set for £20 which has even more and art included.

Recently went to see The Avengers. Now, having only seen Thor (which wasn't bad) I didn't know if I'd miss things or not. But to be fair I thought it was a decent film - not to mention the 3D backside of Scarlett Johansson - wow! Well worth it, but shhhh don't tell the Mrs.

Off to see American Pie Reunion soon, any good?

Probably right, but I've got a good imagination and nothing, no amount of sensibleness is going to convince me otherwise, it was her bum! It was! It was! It was!

Yeah I've seen a few mates put "Best film ever!" on their Facebook status' but I never really take too much notice. I'll just go knowing that even if it's not as good as the originals, it'll be a damn site better than the Band Camp, Beta House ones which were about as good as being labotomized while having a rectal examination.

Borat is about to start on Channel 4. I was bought a book on it a year or so ago for Xmas. I knew nothing about it at the time.Then I got a download of the film and thought what the hell is this? Takes a bit of getting used to.

Watched Shame last night. Quite pornographic, not one for kids. I'll give it a 5.9. Although I enjoyed the film, the lead character is portrayed in this outrageously dark and evil light, considering all he really does is a bit of shagging around. The way the film was shot, you'd think that kind of behaviour was enough to drive someone to suicide

Nothing found about those films girth

But I did find this about Harry Potter, and it made me laugh

The story is about a boy who lives in a cupboard (i.e. “in the closet”). His Aunt and Uncle are ashamed of him because his parents were quite eccentric (i.e. “flaming”) and they are deeply concerned and afraid that he will turn out just like them. On his 11th birthday (i.e. roughly at the onset of puberty), the boy discovers that he is actually a “wizard”, different in both style and substance from normal people, or “muggles” (i.e. “breeders”). The boy is groomed into his new existence by a large, hairy bear of a man who shows Harry a hidden underground community of “wizards” living right under the noses of the general population (i.e. the gay subculture). Harry’s first trip to this subculture involves traveling through “Diagon Alley”, a play on the word diagonally (i.e. not straight).

One of Harry’s first rites of passage in his new life is to select a wand (i.e. penis). The wand/penis is the most important tool in a Wizard’s arsenal (or arse) and so this scene is treated with great reverence and mystery. While experiencing Diagon Alley for the first time, Harry also pauses with a group of other young boys to admire a much coveted broomstick (i.e. long hard shaft of wood).

Harry’s indoctrination begins in earnest when he is sent to a special school who purpose is to train him to use his wizard powers safely, while still being able to live in a world full of muggles. Young students at this school are forbidden from practicing “magic” (i.e. homosexuality) outside of the school (this is the so-called “restriction on the use of underage magic”). They are also forbidden from using magic in the presence of muggles, who might be frightened or angered by witnessing it, an obvious and heavy handed commentary on gay-straight societal tension.

The students at this school are segregated by gender, a clear attempt to encourage homosexual relationships. The most popular pastime at the school is a game called “Quidditch”, which involves riding hard shafts of wood, handling several types of balls, and trying to score points by successfully penetrating the hoop. This activity is enthusiastically endorsed by school officials for obvious reasons. Harry quickly excels at this new game and quickly becomes known for his above-average broom handling.

Harry spends a great deal of time with Hagrid, the man-bear who first initiated him into the wizarding world, but also forms a close friendship with Ron, a fellow student (and first real boyfriend). The two also tolerate the presence of Hermione, a female classmate who compensates for her lack of a penis by being a better than average student. Together, this troublemaking threesome get into mischief on numerous occasions, causing consternation and concern among the teachers.

Ultimately, the story is about Harry coming to terms with the tragic and premature death of his gay parents, who both died from AIDS (personified in the story by a cliche evil villain named Lord Voldemort). Although both his parents were struck down by the horrible disease, Harry himself was spared (though it did leave him scarred for life, i.e. infected with HIV but not full blown AIDS). Harry desperately searches for a new father figure to fill the void (either figuratively or literally) left by his father’s absence. Harry first clings on to Hagrid the man-bear, then later Dumbledore, a kind but haggard old pedophile, and finally clutches on to Sirius Black, an old friend of his father’s and Harry’s godfather. Sirius has the curious ability to transform into a wild dog (i.e. he is an aggressive top). Harry’s father had the ability to transform into a horse (a sly reference to penis size, lol horsecock). Harry himself has the ability to communicate with snakes (i.e. a deep understanding and appreciation of penises).

Harry is further traumatized when one of his classmates, Cedric, is also cruelly cut down by Lord AIDSmort. Harry attempts to warn the others that “Voldemort has returned” (i.e. AIDS is on the rise), but the majority of the wizarding community chooses not to believe this out of sheer denial. Only Dumbledore, the wise old one, and a few others believe Harry at first. Harry is at first ostracized but later vindicated for attempting to warn the community about the dangers of Lord AIDSmort. Sadly, Harry’s newly adopted father, Sirius, is cut down in the process by one of Lord AIDSmort’s henchmen (let’s say syphilis).

Harry’s career ambition after all this is to become an Auror – a dark wizard catcher (i.e. an AIDS awareness campaigner). This is the only way to ease the pain he feels from the loss of his dead friends and family while keeping other young wizards safe from the “dark side” of wizarding, i.e. AIDS.
