  1. In their introduction, they clearly state that they don't take into account the review scores. And regardless of their influence on the industry, they're still human, they can get it wrong sometimes you know. What I find funny is that you say they're wrong simply because they have a different opinion, as if yours was so perfect.

  2. Been watching a lot of shit lately.

    Amores Perros- Ridiculously good, a sort of much more powerfull and moving Pulp Fiction.

    21 grams- Shares many common elements with Amores Perros, it's also amazing but not as good. Sean Penn is brilliant as usually and the main chick is also pretty cool.

    Raging Bull- Wonderfull, loved it.

    Shifty- A nice movie, served to fulfill my need for british crime drama.

    This is England- Great soundtrack and characters, really interesting, I enjoyed it quite a lot.

    Oldboy- Great music, some memorable scenes and just excellent all around.

    The squid and the whale- Not as good as I thought it would be but I still really liked it, great humor mixed with some equally great drama.

    The death of Mr.Lazarescu- Sometimes doesn't seem much of a piece of cinema but more of a documentary, still there's something about it that I loved.

    There will be blood- Really really boring, the amazing Daniel Day Lewis and photography doesn't save the awfull narrative.

    Apocalypse Now- Amazing as I thought it would be.

    Leon- Pretty cool relationship between the main characters, made me laugh quite a bit. Naalie Portman is pretty great, especially at such age( I think 13 or 14)

    Heat- Awesome cast, good music, great film. De niro and Pacino just kill it.

    Pi- The debut of Aronofsky, great movie with a seriously low budget, 60 000 euros I think.

    2001 Space Odissey- Visually mind blowing, unlike anything else.

    Fight Club- Really liked it, makes ya think.

    Crimson gold- Beautiful iranian movie about social injustice, outstanding.

    The Prophet- They get it right when they say it's Scarface and The godfather put into one, amazing.

    Bound- Pretty stylish and cool, nice movie plus hot lesbians.

    The Wrestler- One of my favourites, so moving.

    Le Trou- Pretty cool, loved the actors and everything, can't believe some of them aren't even professional.

    Out of the Past- Great noir movie.

  3. I'm abviously glad he's no longer a threat, but I don't understand celebrating the death of someone, seems kinda morbid to me.

    I also wonder what this will change, he must have other people to replace him, he probably knew this would happen eventually. There could also be retaliations, further damage could happen.

  4. Uh, can't believe I forgot about this game, definitely gonna order it through Amazon uk. The first Portal was so awesome I gotta see how this one turned out.

  5. Yeah well that's the reason why I don't let game reviews affect my buying decisions any more. Like you said sometimes you might enjoy a game and think it's great but it seems like every other review out there seems to criticise the game (for me that game is The Darkness).

    If I like the look of a game I'll get it. My opinion on things is very different to everyone else's, it's the same for everyone too.

    The Darkness is awesome man. But yeah, the game got kinda fucked over by the reviews.

  6. Aside from a very restric group, I dislike most reviewers. They are retarded, they have double standards and they fail to judge a game fairly if it is a low profile one, but let he new Mass Effect game they'll get a huge boner and forget about all the shit that Mass Effect has in it and just give it a 9+/ 10.

    Honestly, I think reviews shouldn't have scores attached to them, just let people judge the review by the written information the reviewer passed along, you put a score and suddenly no one gives a shit about the wall of text you just wrote.

    But seriously, I don't even read reviews anymore, I just buy games on impulse, I read about what they are and who are the developers and I get a sense that I'll like the game, more people should do that.

  7. Stoked to hear you like it. It's brilliant isn't it? Garden State is really good too, or at least I remember loving it when I saw it a couple years ago. I need to see Black Swan.

    I bought a DVD packed with all of the Ocean's trilogy(a trilogy I really dig)including the original Ocean's Eleven which I watched yesterday. Loved it.

    Yeah it really is and you definitely need to see Black Swan, it's amazing.

    Ocean's eleven is pretty cool too.

    Off to watch Requiem for a Dream right now, will give my impressions later.
