Sorry, I'll try again.

Parallels have been drawn between The Raid movie and the recent Dredd movie, since both films, in production at roughly the same time, were relatively low budget affairs which feature heroic characters gradually working their way up a big building, fighting as they go, to confront a main villain at the very top.  The Dredd movie was an original script and not based on any previously produced comic.

Welcome to the board.

Gggrrrrr

Oh, we'll just let Hitler be in charge then, shall we?  Is that what you want?  Well?  Is it?

"its not like I chased him down the street, or anything like that." Tony Martin,  BBC News report on the right to self defence against burglars.

I'm a bit concerned I might actually be Frazer Irving.

See, that's what I love about this forum. Unlike almost everywhere else on the internet, gentlemanly behaviour still exists. 

Could you add me also, please.

My judge squad, finished today after arriving at the weekend.  A rough effort, so maybe an expert wouldn't have been a bad idea.



The models are of a fairly decent quality, with a good weight to them. Some of them have a bit of a rough finish - one of my street judges doesn't fit into his stand, so he'll need to be filed down a bit - but on the whole, they're worth getting. 

Now, to construct a lawless city out of cardboard...

A sound explanation for Dawkins' apparent attitude can be found in the opening of The Greatest Show on Earth:

Imagine you're a scholar on the subject of the Roman empire.  You've devoted your whole life to studying its intricacies and you love nothing more than going around, explaining to people how brilliant the Romans were.  But there are a growing number of powerful people who insist that the Romans never existed.  You can show them all the evidence that you want, but they will deny it and instead insist that the world sprang into being, perfectly formed, at some point in the middle ages.  They know that this is true, because its what they believe, and asking them for evidence just makes them believe it more.

I'd be an arse to those people, too

According to US census data, Gavin was the 36th most common male name in the states in 2011, accounting for 0.45% of births.  This is up from being 452nd of the overall population. We are growing in number and will eventually take over the world.

co-incidentally, same first name, but I actually enjoy heroes and CGI.

Although, I may have t-shirts made: Temponaut the Smighty (as in to smote)!

I'm entitled to my own opinion. Provided its just to encourage the persecution of minorities.  If its on movies I haven't seen, that makes me a prick.

Eastwood's monologue at Romney-Con surely heralds the end of a once great career. This guy was an icon, so watching him slowly die in stage was heartbreaking.

Blaming Obama for the afghan war, for not bringing troops home faster (which in fairly sure isn't Republican policy), claiming than the prison camp at Guantanamo shouldn't be closed because it "was expensive to set up".  The most support he could muster for Mit was that "maybe" "possibly" it was time for "someone else", since the current president hasn't insulated the US against a global economic collapse he inherited.

All of this was sad, the sort of illconsidered mud slinging which has become commonplace in American politics... addressing your complaints to an empty chair, which you pretend is insulting you? The only thing harder to watch than that was the sight of the baying crowd, cheering as Clint stumbled over his words, egging him on to insult Oprah and churn out tired movie lines.

CAPSLOCK EMPHASISES MY IMPORTANCE.

I disagree.

I'm at work.  There's a power cut. You'd think it was the end of days.
