But knowing the internet, a thread about tv series isn't bound to end well nowadays. Especially if a certain cartoon series is brought up. One, which happens to be pretty popular among internet users.

It's fortunately not Earthworm... It's got hooves and is like the Luca Badoer of cartoons. I really don't like the fanbase of this cartoon. It's like the Ferrari Tiposi on steroids.

Ohhhhhh...I so wanted to get that movie. Found it at a flea market for $1, but passed on it. Maybe next time. While we are on the subject has anyone ever seen "Death Race 2000"? Great classic film with David Carradine, with a lot of dark humor towards it. For once, a good racing movie with Sylvester Stallone in it.

Indeed, it's one of the few racing movies where it isn't a bunch of street racers and has actually racing drivers driving the cars instead of stunt men like Stanton Barrett who happened to race when he wasn't being a stunt man.

My favorite part of the movie was when they were detailing the scores you get for killing people. It's hilariously in some odd way. Remake wasn't that bad either. The acting was terrible, but I liked how they went a slightly different direction rather than just make a carbon copy of the film like a lot of remakes do nowadays.

For some odd reason, Van Damme was pretty popular in Germany. It felt like our then pay TV channel Premiere aired his movies at least once a week. Well, I'll always prefer Arnold as my action hero. :mrgreen:

Speaking of, who's going to watch his newest movie?

Just whatched "The Last Stand" about a week ago. Kind of you're average Arnold flick, very silly, but more than enough action to keep you enertained.

I get the feeling that if this film is successful, it will spawn sequels about other F1 rivalries. Senna vs Prost anyone? Schumacher vs Hill?

I can see a film about the 1982 season being made. Pironi v. Villeneuve, with neither making the end of the season, nobody wishing to win Monaco, and the champion only winning one race, that being his first win, and that race being named after a country in which motorracing remains illegal...

Watch out for Turbo, though.

Yes, I did see that with ym family a few months back when t was in UK cinemas, as I was being forced to go. Despite it being a Disney animation, which have a reputation for either being surprisingly good or unbelievably bad and/or taking a moral and shoving it down your throat at every opportunity, I actually thought it was a pretty decent film. Especially compared to some other garbage Disney animations of late.

Having read the book 1982 by Christopher Hilton, I'm not sure just one film will cover everything that when on in that highly eventful season. Might have to do a Godfather style 3 part film. As there are so many other sub stories from that year like the drivers strikes at South Africa, watercooled brakes in Rio and the whole politics behind this and Ferrari's DSQ at Long Beach, Paletti's tragic death in Montreal and the torment that must have caused Pironi's just weeks after the GV affair. Then Pironi's subsequent crash (possibly as a result of his torment?). The Prost - Arnoux bust up at Paul Ricard, and Andretti's return at Monza & all those different cars & drivers winning races to name just a few things. What a season!

What did everyone think of Despicable Me 2? I thought it was great and at no point did i feel like switching off during it. The Post credits involving the minions didn't grip me as much as the first one though. The scene about the minions mocking Silas Ramsbottom's name is my favorite by a mile

Haven't seen the first one. I miss hand-drawn movies.

Anyways, last film I saw was FNF6, which was pretty good. Not as good as 5, but comes pretty close. (Even if it is a bit ridiculous.)

A miniseries would do the trick there.

Funnily enough, last Monday I watched Tora! Tora! Tora! about the Japanese planning and then playing out their attack on Pearl Harbour.
One of the associate producers is named Masayuki Takagi. Coincidence.
Tora is Japanese for Tiger for those who didn't know.

Tiger Takagi.

Really ought to get that book. By the way, that was the year I was born, 1982. The German GP was just 4 days before I popped out into the world. And an F1 trilogy around the 1982 season could add up to a Lord-of-the-Rings length of epicness!

After the Need for Speed movie, here comes... Gran Turismo: The Movie!

I have feeling both would receive terrible reviews, much like the Street Fighter movie, though (yes, that one with Jean Claude van Damme as Guile). Hence why this page on TV Tropes exists.

I'm thinking of watching Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa when it comes out, even though I have only listened to one radio episode and a total of about half an hour of his TV program. At least Empire gave it 4/5 stars which means it is 'very good'.

Big Alan Partridge fan here. I'm hoping the film is at least half-decent, because I'm not expecting there to be many more Partridge projects in the future. I don't want it to end on a low note.

I saw The World's End last weekend, and I really liked it! Certainly worth seeing, if you haven't already.

Yes, I know I've committed the mortal sin of quoting my own post, so feel free to bombard me with papayas, guys!

Anyway, The Conjuring. Well, I read reviews of the movie before I went, so I ascertained that it was terrifying and it really, really didn't disappoint. The first half of the movie relied more on jump-scares and just tension and whatnot to create the scares, as opposed to CGI and whatever. I will admit, I spent most of the second half of the movie hiding behind my hand/phone/box of popcorn, but from I saw it carried on in that vein. In fairness, its nothing new and special, but it doesn't claim to be, and as a horror movie, its flipping brilliant

Whatever you do, do not watch 'The Lone Ranger'. Shockingly bad, insultingly so, unfunny, contrived, pointless and dreadful film.
