  1. I read the book this is based on back in the mid 00's. Bloody good read
     
  2. It said something about Moby Dick so Moby it is ;)
     
  3. Do you mean that if I continue to read past the first 120 stultifying pages I have read so far, the book turns out to be a page-turner? So far it is tedium in the written word.
    And I know my sympathies are going to lie with the whale in any case.
     
  4. Well I liked it. Take from that what you will :-(
     
  5. That's it, Matt. You are no longer a moderator. Now take your punishment like a man and jump out of the boat.
     
  6. :Arghh:
     
  7. Alas for Matt. He was too gentle a soul for this world.

    Or this boat, for that matter.

  8. I'm currently sitting in the lobby at the Vue in Eastleigh having walked out of Birdman. This despite Mrs Shadow still being in there and knowing she will be mightily annoyed, I knowvthis because she told me not to walk out and by implication I'm going to be in the dog house for at least the remainder of the weekend but I'd prefer to take the wrath of my wife rather than spend another minute of my life watching that badly written badly acted onanistic cynical pile of rat faeces.
    Avoid it, no do move than avoid it, if anyone suggests it as a fun night out run away screaming and hide. I've never seen such a ridiculous effort to prove "acting credentials" the whole (well the first hour of it at least) movie seems to be written solely for the benefit of the people in it, there's no attempt at a plot or character development or even the remotest effort to entertain or challenge the viewers, it's just a poorly executed series of sketches designed to show the various actors running through their range of emotions interspersed with some product placement so jaw droppingly blatant that it makes the shake n vac ads seem subtle.

    God it was shite

  17. Noah Strikes Back

    In which the assembled animals in the Ark contribute to a huge steaming pile of dung to tell the wrathful, cantankerous and murderous God of the Old Testament exactly what they thought of him.
