So how's life been going lately Neal? I saw that you've started driving....

neal_672 05-04-2005 03:22 PM

Yup had my first lesson today :thumb: and erm i'm off to the flicks with the girl i like on Sunday, and erm yeah it's generally awesome, yourself?

PaulSimonon 05-04-2005 03:26 PM

Exactly the opposite! I've only just gotten old enough to learn to drive, I'm doing absolutely nothing with the girl I like, and life has been generally horrid.

What movie?

Spaceman Spiff 05-04-2005 03:26 PM

Blue Jays are kickin' arse.
Screw Yankees.






Actually, they're playing Baltimore right now, and have won 7 of their last 8 games... hopefully about to win another. They're up 1 - 0 in the top of the 8th. :thumb:

fatbandit 05-04-2005 03:27 PM

I have no girl I really like at the moment (that's in any way available at any rate), I don't want to drive, and cinemas smell.

Well i have been able to learn for about 4 months now i just never got round to booking the lessons. And keep trying, don't give up on her... :thumb:


But erm Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy even though it is apparently incredibly weak compared to the amazingness of the books :thumb:

PaulSimonon 05-04-2005 03:29 PM

It's the same with me.


By the way, sports suck until the NHL comes alive again

Oh dammit. I was hoping it was going to be good, I'm planning on seeing it on friday with my usual movie crew.

fatbandit 05-04-2005 03:32 PM

It looks a good film in its own right. Just don't try comparing it to the books, radio, or even old TV series.

And I think you'll find, on consulting the poll, you have no eyes, and I do.

neal_672 05-04-2005 03:33 PM

Ah every review i've read says it's awful. For a start Ford Prefect is a black american apparently, which is as far from the original character as possible.... Not being racist there but it's not how he described in teh book so he shouldn't be like it...

Hockey sucks.

Yeah but the point is if you've read the book it should stand up to the quality of the book or it's bound to be a disappointment....

fatbandit 05-04-2005 03:34 PM

Oh, and that stopped Spiderman 2 being slated? Why is Kingpin a big black man? And why is Bullseye Irish? And why is Daredevil... Ben Affleck? :'(

Seriously, what were they thinking getting Mos Def in the movie?

I want to see the movie, but I know it will suck.

PaulSimonon 05-04-2005 03:36 PM

It should be interesting at any rate.

neal_672 05-04-2005 03:37 PM

[QUOTE=fatbandit]Oh, and that stopped Spiderman 2 being slated? Why is Kingpin a big black man? And why is Bullseye Irish? And why is Daredevil... Ben Affleck? :'([/QUOTE]

Yes but Daredevil DID suck. But i'm a true believer of following the book, which they haven't done with Hitchikers. It'll only disappoint...

fatbandit 05-04-2005 03:39 PM

Then just read books! :)

But Douglas Adams DID write the script... but then he died. :upset:

Radiobass81 05-04-2005 03:42 PM

The "Series of Unfortunate Events" movie was a deception...

I was hoping it would be darker... and better.

fatbandit 05-04-2005 03:42 PM

And I have no idea why I wrote Spiderman 2 instead of Daredevil :lol:

Anyway, I'm just about off for the night people. Have fun without me! :wave:

Shouldn't Phil be around sometime soon (unless he has somehow gained a life)?

neal_672 05-04-2005 03:43 PM

Yeah but i daresay Douglas Adams didn't cast Prtefect as a black american because that would totally ruin the idea of him trying to be inconspicous. For a start why would an American choose a 1980's British cars name?

fatbandit 05-04-2005 03:43 PM

yes, Lemony Snicket sucked huge, inflated, diseased wang. Jim Carey only vaguely saved it.

:lol:!

Ciao Chris :wave:

Radiobass81 05-04-2005 03:46 PM

I love the books, tho. I'm still in #9, as I can't find the others...

Spaceman Spiff 05-04-2005 03:49 PM

If Adams hadn't died, there probably would have been a bunch of things done differently in the movie.





Crap, Baltimore just scored 5 runs in the 8th, Jays now losing 5 - 1. :(

#9? Wha?

PaulSimonon 05-04-2005 03:52 PM

See, that's what happens when you diss hockey.

Yes, they've started airing the old TV series again, that's awesome so that'll jeep me content :thumb:

Radiobass81 05-04-2005 03:54 PM

This is the first time in a good while that the Yankees have an AMAZING team;... Yet their playing sucks now.

Last place, if memory serves.

Spaceman Spiff 05-04-2005 03:54 PM

They're not airing the TV series here... you lucky bastard. ;)

Radiobass81 05-04-2005 03:54 PM

Series of unfortunate events

Thunder Fingers 05-04-2005 03:54 PM

Radiobass81 05-04-2005 03:57 PM

Nothing much.

neal_672 05-04-2005 03:58 PM

[QUOTE=Eddie-the-Trooper]ello.. what are we doing today?[/QUOTE]

Not much considering it's nearly 11pm here :lol:

Thunder Fingers 05-04-2005 04:01 PM

11.58PM :p

neal_672 05-04-2005 04:01 PM

Anyone heard Rush's cover album?
