King Kong Just got back from seeing it:::: I just can't believe that the CGI parts were so right, whatever anyone thought of the rest of the film. In films like Spiderman there are always those momentary bits of weightless animation that destroy the illusion, but not with Kong. Serkis was by...

Actually, I saw Before Sunset the other night (without having seen Before Sunrise) and I have to say it was fucking brilliant! So sweet and warm, but melancholic for the passing of time and opportunity. Quite emotionally charged I found as it runs its course; rings true with a certain kind of...

I have to admit i'm completely ignorant of Burns but have been meaning to get in to it : Does anyone know if Black Hole is any good. Spied it in a book shop today amongst all the hardback xmas big guns. It certainly looks good.

Such an eloquent argument. Are you Stephen Fry in disguise?

Yeah, tongue in cheek a bit there francesco, sorry, just got a bit excited. But its about time there was a comics thread on here for sure. What i was poking at (insubstantially) was that considering how long the medium has been around (far longer than cinema for instance) its been a hard long...

Oh i forgot, Sideways, which, is basically as good as everyone let on I reckon. Nice essay on Miller/Batman Begins, K-P. I agree that Millers stuff was built around cinematic cliches from the beginning- pretty off putting personally. The golden Triumvirate of Ware/Clowes/Tomine always delivers...

Yeah, i too thought it was way better than i expected. Coogan was excellent, and the way the truth was filtered out through Tony Wilsons psyche, brilliant. Also the way that the emotional coldness of the JD era turned warmer but more bankrupt, as everything spirals out of control: the film...

Yeah, in retrospect, i think the list of films i wanted to see but didnt get round to it for whatever reason, (Films down here only usually play for two nights) is actually longer, and probably better than the ones I did see. History Of Violence Some Kind Of Monster The Ramones 2046 Broken...

I'm not sure this counts really, but that Pharcyde rhyme in the middle of Gorillaz' Dirty Harry always winds me up because its totally unecessary. I think Damon promised him a verse and didn't know where else to put it. Hey, maybe in an otherwise good, subversive pop tune over a cringing...

I'm interested, as someone residing out in the sticks and that only gets to see about 3 or 4 current films in a year, as to what more informed members of the board rate as this years best. What I have seen is: Batman Begins (Good 1st 2/3rds, horrible last 3rd) Capturing The Friedmans...

Theres always Heskey. ;)

My Two Pence And A Bit I've got to say, i think the nerves /boyish excitement will kick in hard after the tinsel is cleared away this year. Yep, no doubt about it, England are looking go-- No, lets not even say it less a jinx is hereby forthcoming. We get jittery and all self concious when we...

Yeah, i was going through some old cd's because i'm moving house soon and came across some Jehst. I remember thinking he was great about 5 years ago, and Task Force as well. I also remember Chester P saying some brusque but interesting things about the state of UKHH himself, which I thought...

Jesus h christ both of those links are more addictive than sugar. aarr bless 'em...

surely Men Only for that lad mag crossover style? -------- There is always something incredibly poignant about travelling in general-- like the displacement of it somehow encourages you to to dwell on life. I always find my self looking at far i am toward where i want to be, what am i gonna do...

sorry, RIDICULOUS. damn alckhol.

Probably as in anyone could of produced it since the Libertines/Babyshambles sound so MOR its ridulous.

They certainly LOOK the part, and are tearing up the style mags/ sunday supplements with gusto. Accordingly, and according to popular legend, their gigs are now hipster central. ie: a lot of money spent on hair. On a similar hype related tip, did anyone see that east london special in i-D a...

yup My girlfriend used to have to put up with their condescending abuse while working in a village pub in Gloucestershire, and they seem, as you can imagine:::: (talentless) dickheads of the highest fucking order. Ahem.

[mms]they aren't a mouthpiece for any alternative - they are a mouthpiece for the dominant which are big bands - and the culture of old fashioned sweaty male rock hegemony -bigger labels often even pay for covers if they can afford it .they are a gossip mag basically .they are as alternative...
