Hehe, A.H it's called a self knowledge, just like scream, Wes Craven intended it to be full of cliches with stereotyped characters and the plot although the plot was modernised into a public place instead of a secluded house of the edge of the woods.

Heh, that's the beauty of Shaun Of The Dead though. We all know it's full of cliches and that's what makes it great - the whole film is a play on all the zombie films out there. I wouldn't go as far as calling it a spoof, but it's not far off.
well, you know my *taboo* habits right?
well i no longer need to *taboo* movies from the net, i can *taboo* originals. and i refused to waste a DVD+R on it.. wasting a rental fee was waste enough :/
i'm sorry, it was just horrid.


You could just use -R, they're cheaper and more devices support them. [addsig]

that brings up an interesting subject.

around here -R and +R are the same price, but what exactly is the distinctions between "minus" and "plus"

now i know a RW is re-writable, but what is the + and - thing all about?

Not much. The information is stored differently. I don't know what the differences are. However, I do know most devices suppprt -R and not +R because of this information storage difference. Try looking around for some information.

-R is way cheaper here. However, I just got a 50 pack of DVD-R for $12.50 ... and then to my surprise they gave me a form for a $10 mail in rebate! $2.50 isn't too bad

Taking that most -R 50 packs are like $30 and +R is around $50 or so. [addsig]

Isn't -r more supported than +r I've heard.

In film studies were gonna be watching the wicker man so will tell you what I think of that in a couple of weeks. ATM we've just finished watching brief encounter and now we are watching a movie called beautiful thing. It's a british movie about 2 boy's who fall in love with each other, it's OK tbh as it's not all that dingy that you might think it is.

Watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow the other day, and it was pretty crap. I liked a lot of it visually, and I dig the setting (so "Crimson Skies" esque), but the plot was so winding and "what the f**k?!" that you couldn't help but laugh at how unlikely it all was. Not that it was going for realism of course.

$loth, your Media Studies course sounds a lot more fun than when I did it. We didn't watch a single film in two years!

Anyway, I watched 'The Village' last night and thought the 'twist' actually spoilt the film. I felt cheated by it. At one point, it was almost redeemed by making you think the twist was an elaboration of the truth, but no! Flippin 'eck, it's not easy trying to explain this without spoiling the film! Hopefully anyone who's seen the film knows what I mean?

I know exactly what you mean. It's a film that hinges entirely on it's "surprise twist" just one big slap in the face really. Those who plan to see it: you probably already thought of the twist and discarded it as being "rubbish" or "too easy". And if I've just potentially ruined the movie for you, then good, I've saved you the trouble of seeing it. Because the only reason I watched it to the end was in case another similar twist showed up (I'm sure those who've seen it could wager a guess as to what that twist is). It was a genuinely interesting premise as well; Shyamalan just had to ruin the whole bloody thing by not being an imaginative writer.

Actually, this is in film, although I do media aswell. We haven't watched that many films, only bowling for columbine so far. But we do watch a lot of episodes of sitcoms atm and do some presentations on scenes from films. Oh also we've just finished making our thriller movie intros

I'm amused you have a course that involves watching sitcoms. What kind of shows are you viewing in that? Hopefully not "According to Jim" or "Yes, Dear."

In media the topic we are doing atm is gender representation and sitcoms. We've only been doing british sitcoms atm like butterflies, royale family, spaced (i think it's called that, with the guy from shaun of the dead) and the office (don't know why people think this is funny, it sucks.)

I liked Anchorman. Will Ferrel just totally kicks ass.

My mom rented the China Syndrome, it's really old and about dams breaking down or something like that. It was good though. [addsig]
