    Escape to the Movies: Pacific Rim

    Opening box office is apparently less than Despicable Me 2, meaning that it won't go that much over its budget.

    And Now ... Politics!

    If Thatcher is responsible for the Great Recession then Clement Attlee is at fault for the Winter of Discontent and stagnation of British industry during the 70s. I direct you to my previous posts which you seem to avoid so that you can ignore anything that bursts your nicely made ideological...

    And Now ... Politics!

    There is a difference between saying you are Thatcher 2.0 and being it. New Labour was essentially maintaining the Thatcher reforms and even committed to keeping Tory spending budgets until 2001 which implies that they believed that it was a pretty good thing. Ed Miliband also supported the...

    And Now ... Politics!

    You mean when Harold Wilson closed down more mines (~36,000 per year between 1964-1970) then Thatcher ever did (12,500 per year), or when she aided in the re-starting of the car industry by sending the Nissan plant to the North East instead of an area where she could have sent it to an area...

    You forgot blind Thatcher-hate based on nothing.

    Unless

    Am I the only one who has noticed that Bob seems determined to never talk about Despicable Me seeing as that was a large part of the marketings ads and that it may be the source for his anger against the changes made about the Once-ler and townspeople? The pull of Despicable Me was that the...

    A question for non British people

    Thatcher was less despised by the entire country, more then being despised by the entire media that wasn't called The Sun, Telegraph, Daily Shits and The Times. She got over 40% of the vote in every election and was able to score three impressive victories in terms of seats so that claim is...

    A question for non British people

    I'm going to that guy who everyone is going to hate for saying this. The thing about Thatcher is that, contrary to the attempts by everyone to make you forget this, Thatcher was not a dictator who everyone hated during those days but was a democratically elected leader who did the policies...

    Bombs Away!

    My theory for why Sucker Punch (and other Comic-Con movies like Kick-Ass) failed is because they knew the unwashed masses weren't going to see a film about a molested girl in an asylum going through some shit or a film about a guy who gets tortured and beaten, while other things get dark. They...

    Escape to the Movies: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

    They should have made it 'Rise of the Planet of the Sick Kittens' or 'Rise of the Planet of the Blind Puppies' so that the plot hole could be filled with 'Why would anyone try and shoot a sick kitten or a blind puppy?'

    Transformers Fanboy-Free Breakdown

    I'll try and answer these for you as I feel you deserve an answer and these are all my guesses. 1. I think it matches with why Megatron sucked in Transformer's 2 and 3, in number one the goal was to bring back Megatron and start domination with Earth being planet number one as it has a nice...

    Escape to the Movies: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

    Still I like how DOtM is angry at how NASA's funding gets cut like you are and to be honest I kind of saw the Sam-feels-useless plotline as Bay's feeling of being smacked around for doing something he admitted to not feeling up to. But to be honest I like the Transformers trilogy as I leave...
