    Poll: Choices: Friend or Lover

    Think carefully about the lover part - is it just infatuation/lust/excitement because of shiny newness of relationship? Be honest with yourself about it. What does it really mean to you? What will happen if you leave home? It's a difficult decision and if it is made lightly then you have no...

    Conan Scriptwriter Ruminates On Failure

    I think that one of the most telling sentences in the article is that there was a reliance on "tracking numbers" and early audience responses. Writers and film makers sometimes need to have faith in their product and not let some poxy bloody group of people essentially create the film by a...

    Poll: Personal favorite eye color?

    It would never be a deciding factor for anything that actually mattered. But I do love blue eyes, the bluer the better. Something intense, like this: And yes, mine are. Perhaps not the same shade as Lucy's, but good enough.

    Yelling Out Sarcastic Jokes In A Movie Theater

    Not ok. I don't go to the cinema any more - got too sick of entitled, noisy arses who didn't know how to stop twatting about with their phone or shut their pie hole for 2 fucking hours. The standard conventions of expected behaviour are being lost. When I was a kid it was clear to me that...

    If the "average age" of today's gamer is mid-thrities, how come....

    I've been playing games for 30 years or so now and don't see myself stopping any time soon. I don't play online because I cannot tolerate the screeching hateful bullshit squealed down the mic by stupid little children. I wouldn't socialise them in the "real" world, so why in the hell would I...

    Pet Trouble

    To make sure that the area is properly cleaned, to remove any scents that might tempt them back, I would recommend using an enzymatic cleaner. I have used a product called Simple Solution in the past and found it worked well. It'll kill any residual smell and remove the scent markers they use...

    For fans of John Carpenter's "The Thing"

    Good point. It had better be a hard R. I'll be pissed if they cut its figurative balls off for a lower rating.

    Weirdest/Most Horrible Ways You've Been Woken Up.

    My cat used to try and open my eyes with her paw. Pointy bits and eyeballs are not a good mix. One morning, she jammed her tongue in my ear. I think I screamed a bit. I hate that.

    For fans of John Carpenter's "The Thing"

    Depends if it keeps true to the original. The horror of the thing is not the gore - it is the shock and horror of what the thing actually is and the distrust and paranoia it causes. The gore, when it happens, is so fantastically wet and organic and gross. Even today, I still find it...

    Should the UK have a Royal Family?

    I loathe them and hate being a "subject". I find the tourism argument nonsensical - very few tourists actually SEE them, the castles and the crown jewels etc will remain whether we have them or not. Screw them. I won't bow or grovel to them and I won't sing our sodding national anthem.

    Why do you hate pro-wrestling?

    Hate is too strong a word, real hate takes genuine effort to sustain and it really isn't worth the trouble. Mostly, I think it is a dumb soap opera that feels as if it is aimed at teenage boys and that sometimes has a stunt show in it.

    The last song you listened to will now be played at your funeral.

    Born This Way - gaga Perhaps a little perky, I don't know. Frankly, I don't want a funeral, throw my used corpse in a skip for all I care.

    London Riots

    Just a bunch of thieving bastards burning things and nicking stuff. Eventually, someone will give the order and the police will move in to stop them burning things/nicking stuff, some little bastard in a mask will get twatted in the head with a baton and end up in a coma and somehow it will all...

    Favorite "B" movie

    Hmmm. Lake Placid. I love that movie (he seemed taller....). And it used to piss me off that people didn't seem to realise it was a cheesy B piss take rather than anything else.

    Paranormal Activity 3

    I quite enjoyed both movies. The first one in particular, due to budget, had to work with the simple truth that what you think you see, and what you are afraid you might see is worse than anything that they can actually show you. The subtlety of it, the earlier part of both films before the...
