No she doesn't.

Why does my Adobe Flash plugin keep crashing.

>>19947
Just love this series so much. Besides the drama and characters, it's such a superb insight into that era and culture, without it being pretentious or overtly self-aware that it's doing so.

Glad it's going to be the last one, as a never ending series always turns bad.

Like >>19949 I have some pretty strong appreciation for the film and past series, but I was left feeling a little underwhelmed by the first episode. The dialogue and interaction between the characters doesn't feel as natural and understated as it has in the past series, which for me was one of the most winning attributes of Meadows' direction. Hopefully this lukewarm episode is just because it's the first act to get us refamiliarised with the gang and geared up for the oncoming Shane Meadows Emotional Mangle^tm. Eagerly awaiting the rest to see where their story ends.

At a guess, someone gets raped, someone overdoses, someone dies, someone has a fight and Stephen Graham shows up for 5 minutes.

No doubt, prepare to have your emotions molested and have a box of kleenex ready.

To be fair to the semi-literate OP, I don't think he was trying to keep it a secret.

>>19924
Well, you knew didn't you?

>>19926
After trawling extensively Google and subsequently Twitter, yes, I was able to find out.

>>19925
I think he did. I bet he wanted to roleplay with all the other wannabe secret agent / action man types.

>>19927
Whatever gave you that impression?

Why on earth is everyone here such awful people?

>>19928
If you want to roleplay as someone having a teary in response to my BANTER, that's your choice, but it's not particularly relevant to the OP.

I never realised that lorry drivers had such a hard time. I'll try to be less cuntish to them.

>>19917
Thanks mate.

They can't pull a Fight Club now, they just fucking can't! None of this makes sense! FUCK!

I had to quit this show after episode 5. This autistic edgy hacker just doesn't click with me. Things that also don't click with me: forced symbolism, ultra-cliched Swedish bloke, all other characters that I can't even remember by name. No one is fleshed out to any capacity, apart from maybe Slater, but his not-Anonymous not-Guy Fawkes monologues are complete drivel, too.

>>19912
You missed the best shite then mate. He teams up with the Swedish bloke and they go on a rampage at ECorp killing so many people like the Columbine kids. It was so awesome.

>>19913

I very much doubt he missed much.

Urrrrrggghhhh capitalism is eeeevvviiiiill.


Horrendous. But I enjoyed it for the telly.

>>19894
You what? Look mate, stop shitting up my thread.

>>19895

Once you post it, it's no longer yours; it belongs to the Zeitgeist of the site. Such is the nature of imageboards.

You posted this in /v/, when the topic of national militias is more of a political one and you're moaning people aren't taking your thread seriously after you've already exhausted any and all avenues of discussion about this topic in the first 10 posts and dismissed them offhandedly.

No. Have a word with yourself. Simon is a state of mind.

>>19899
Offhandedly? Mate I don't want to get deployed and I don't want to shoot clay pigeons. So far, the only thing I can do is probably join the TA and quit after my training before I get deployed. It's a fucking hassle.

>>19903

You could join a War Games club and shoot Airsoft rifles with other like minded people. I hear it is even a lot of fun.

>>19904

After a friend and I had gone paint balling for his 16th birthday, we talked about getting into airsoft, but the prices for weapons were just insane. It's probably for the best as I would only have wound up punching a guy for dressing like a Nazi anyway.

>>19898

I'd never even heard of BPD until it was mentioned in the Bojack subreddit. But a lot of it is strikingly similar to how I am. I guess if I do go and get diagnosed with it then I'll have a lot to thank a cartoon horse for.

Now why did the series have to go and end like that?

I hate running, I've always hated running. There's no chance I'm going to keep doing it every day. Does this mean I'm stuck in my Bojack-esque life forever? In a (pair of) series that grasped me by the hand in feeling not quite so alone in my crippling emotional isolation this moment left me feeling more alone and isolated than ever.

>>19898
>Emotionally unstable sub-type.
I hope you're female, because if you are that's pretty much the average woman and you have nothing to worry about.

>>19938
Of course she is a lass. Men aren't diagnosed with BPD, they are diagnosed with PTSD. I don't know why.

>>19938
>>19940

There is a difference between unstable hormones and a personality disorder, though granted the line is hard to make out to the untrained eye.

Pretty decent cast.

The trailer was quite dull, but it looks like Gambon has nailed Godfrey.

I might be the only one, but I think the humour in Dad's Army is badly out ofdate, and by the looks of the trailer they haven't exactly done much to update it. It might have a great cast but it will fall flat on its arse without the pacing and laughter track.

>>19822

I think I didn't mind it so much because I went in with such low expectations. It wasn't actually a bad film in the end. Obviously beyond terrible casting choices and some dumb as fuck parts to the story but it is by far the best of the non-canon fanfic films made after T2.

>>19824
My issue with Jai Courtney is that he seems to shoehorn himself into every beloved franchise, yet I still see him as Varro from Spartacus Blood & Sand.

He has a shit name.

Got around to watching this.

It's shit. Probably edges out T3 as the better movie, but not by much.

>>19868

All I really had to say about it after I watched it was "Well, it was better than Lost World." as me and my friends made a day of it and watched the two of them back to back.

Tangentially, they closed the bar down in my local Cinema and it's now a Starbucks. This annoys me, for reasons I can't fully articulate. The best I've come up with is "Ugh!"

The bit on the Iraq war is very interesting, about an hour in.

>>19837

YEAH! More remakes and reboots and remakes and reboots and remakes! Yay!

>>19837
Surely the logical next step would be an all-trans or at least all-LGBQTWTF cast (you hetero scum).

>>19839

Kill yourself with fire.

>>19839

what if people just made new ideas?

Don't be silly. There's no money in that.

I've just been reading an article about how eating a McDonald's is good for you. Not bad, like you would have thought. How ironic is that. Very ironic, aaaah.

I've always thought that Bottom was a very British programme. Something about Richie especially. It offers a good look into aspects of British mannerisms/culture, but through a sort of mocking lense. When watching it I'm always wondering whether it looks dated because it is, or because they were meant to be living in relative squalor anyway. Love the intro music. That, is undoubtedly dated.

>>19782
I always fancied a time travel escapade where Eddie & Richie go back to being Rick & Vyvian using a time traveling Austin Maestro.

>>19782
> I've always thought that Bottom was a very British programme.
I think you've hit on something there, especially in Richie's personality. A lot of his main neuroses, his sexual hang ups, seem to hark back to an almost 1970s "Carry On" bawdiness. The man is obviously stuck in a very British past, left stealing glimpses of dirty photos under fridges while around him Lad and Ladette culture, getting your tits out and helicoptering your todger on the strip, blossom and bloom around him.

>>19783

Or a clapped out but somehow convertible fire-apple red Reliant Robin. That'd be brilliant.

>>19782
>>19784

I don't think it's necessarily Britishness per se, but a certain aspect of British culture that Richie's character puts focus on. Richie seems to be a fish out of water middle-class twat, who has made a mess of life by being an idiot, and consequently finds it hard to fit in around people of a less sophisticated upbringing. Matters are not helped by the fact he tries to constantly posture himself as of a higher status than he is, despite the futility of such vanity in any case.

It's cringeworthy to watch, but you probably all knew someone like this at one point in time. I still know one as an adult. Did you ever have that one posh knobhead kid at school who made a tit of themselves whenever they tried to fit in with the rest of the proles? Where people would be giving them sideward glances and they remained somehow oblivious of how much they were embarrassing themselves?

Richie's like that, with a dose of psychosis for good measure.

I watched a bit of an episode, I didn't like it.

I thought about making a thread for it a few weeks ago but couldn't be bothered.

I'm not sure how I feel about the change in pacing from the start of the series to the most recent episodes. It feels a little like they expended the first 3-4 episodes on gradually building some mystery and intrigue with the Elsters trying to find each other and the adoption of Anita into the Hawkins family, but are now desperately trying to follow a handful of different subplots and cram as much exposition in as possible before the series finale. The "tech talk" at this stage is also making me cringe, but that's what you get with any series where the technology is only a minor mechanism to explore the ethics of robots/stem cells/rockets etc. You have to route to a new filepath around the holes in his root code in his synthcortex and they have blue blood and oh no he got a virus in his mainframe his brain is dying aaaaaaa

I'm a few episodes in and it doesn't seem bad. I am surprised we didn't get the original over here though, as we usually get that sort of stuff instead of the remakes, so I guess I'm going to have to watch that one at some point too.

It's like rewinding a tape of Warm Bodies.

>>19742
I think AHNULD has a masterpiece performance in him somewhere, this is good, but it isn't it.

You're probably far from the only ones; however I would suggest that neither of you actively dislike zombies, rather you are both in fact suffering from advanced symptoms of "I Liked It Before It Was Cool/Popular/Everybody Else".

Zombies have a unique, universal appeal as a form of social reflection, something that the original Romero zombie flicks were great at (with varying degrees of subtlety); everyone can get invested in the setting and concept of a zombie apocalypse. Things have become tedious, however, ever since they were hijacked as a guilt-free villain for American gun-fetishists and the sort of arsehole who watches Doomsday Preppers.

When did Arnie start acting again anyway? Sad to say but he was already past it by the time of Terminator 3.

>>19758
>When did Arnie start acting again anyway?
Not very long after leaving office, as I recall.

>>19748
Perhaps to distinguish them from modern zombies who rather than hunger for flesh are just really angry cf. 28 Days, Left 4 Dead.

So does Arnie again do his own accent in this, or is he American like Sergeant Candy?

>the potential loss of $50m+

John Carter is one of the biggest flops of all time, losing an estimated $121m. That's a fuckton of money, however you slice it. I can't blame a studio for looking at that and thinking "sod it, we'll make a sequel".

>>19731

>if you have a properly famous lead, a huge budget that makes headlines, and aren't making a comedy, your film will be a guaranteed success.

I'm not sure how you define a huge budget or a properly famous lead, but 47 Ronin lost $149m despite a $225m production budget and Keanu Reeves on the posters. Awful films like Pearl Harbor can make a shitload of money off the "big budget, big star" formula, but it is still possible to lose money on a blockbuster.

Saw and Mad Max are interesting examples to bring up - they both cost in the region of $1m to produce, but grossed over $100m. It is possible to make a massive hit on a relatively small budget, but there's no formula for it.

A major studio could fund 100 films at $1m rather than one blockbuster at $100m, but the traditional infrastructure of promotion and distribution can't scale up to handle so many releases. A lot of really good low-budget films sink without trace because nobody heard about them. I think Netflix might be changing things, because they cut cinemas out of the equation and can do very targeted promotion at low cost.

>>19735
>That's a fuckton of money, however you slice it.
It doesn't really matter though, as the studios never see those losses. It's the investors and the underwriters who have to deal with them. The studios have the whole thing structured so they're guaranteed to make money no matter what.

>>19736
They still need to market to investors and underwriters and show how it'll be successful.

>>19737
The underwriters are in the business of taking the hit, and the investors ... well, Barnum had a little something to say about that.

>>19737>>19738

I think his point was more to do with the fact that a studio will find it hard to get investment for new films if they have a bad track record.
