  1. I have a pretty decently sorted 125 on flickchart, would be pretty time consuming to compile it into the format Rippa wants, any recommendations on a quick way of transcribing it into excel?
  2. Guys, I have a question. Who is the most prolific successful screenwriter of the last 50 years? By that I don't mean whose films made the most money, or who has written the most, but who has consistently written films that have made profit and generally been received well? So kind of a combination of both. Shane Black only has 17 writing credits, but got paid a lot for only 6-7 big movies (Lethal Weapon Series, Last Boy Scout, Long Kiss Goodnight, Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). There's a hell of a lot of older screenwriters that you could include, John Huston did everything, acting, directing, writing, which is so impressive. (African Queen, Treasure of Sierra Madre, Maltese Falcon) William Goldman has 33 writing credits including novels and has written some of my favourite films. (Princess Bride, Misery, Marathon Man, Butch Cassidy) Luc Besson seems to be the answer to my question so far. He has 62 credits, several of which have either become franchises, or been adapted several times for TV or other languages. I'm basically in love with his back catalogue, he has a mixture of disposable actions films, cult classics and sci fi. (Transporter, Taken, Fifth Element, From Paris With Love, Kiss of the Dragon, Leon the Professional.) He's also worked consistently since the 80s. Who can you think of?
  3. Love that casting, is he gonna be Han Solo's dad?!
  4. The ending was immense, went home and watched A New Hope straight away. It's completely seamless how they segue into each other, could see a lot of cinemas showing both as a double feature once word gets out. Loved that they used stock footage of gold leader etc in the attack fleet, gave it an amazing nostalgia. Thought the Cushing CGI was jaw dropping, Leia not as much. Vader kicking ass at the end was perfect. So pleased we got a Donnie Yen doing a kung fu scene with multiple stormtroopers, would kill for a spin off about him and his friend. Felicity Jones has another film in her contract doesn't she? Not sure what timeframe they're setting the Han Solo spin off movie in, but there's a chance we could see her in that. I imagine it to be set around the same time.
  5. Oh yeah I see the Britain gets destroyed in a big budget disaster movie trope is still a thing.
  6. 7.) Poltergeist (2015): 8.) 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016):
  7. 5.) Stephen King's IT (1990): 6.) Poltergeist (1982):
  8. So I'm watching for the first time a bunch of famous movies that I've either definitely not seen or maybe have seen bits of and my mind has made me think I have seen. Trying to watch them in some sort of chronological order too, so I can see the history of the horror / teen slasher genre as it evolved. 1.) Halloween (1978): I love everything John Carpenter's ever done, but don't think i've ever seen arguably his most famous work: 2.) Friday the 13th (1980): 3.) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984): I've got Hellraiser (1987) and IT (1990) to watch next, seen IT before, but only once a long time ago. After that I think I might work on some sequels. Never seen Exorcist 2 or From Dusk Till Dawn 2, and I've been told to avoid both like the plague. However I also enjoy watching bad movies, so there's that.
  9. Charlotte is just the best. That corkscrew moonsault was a thing of beauty. And she's a heel who doesn't get any cheers (yet) which is a rarity.
  10. I'd very much like Patrick Warburton as Cable, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a decent choice. Most of the interwebz seem to want Stephen Lang, Liam Neeson or Mel Gibson instead.
  11. And Alberto and his brother have been booked to face Paige's brothers next week in Norwich (WaW).
  12. I feel like I should have to jump through some hoops Heath Slater style to earn my entry into next years competition. Y'all are on ped's, I know it!
  13. 53kg women lifting more than I could dream of at 80kg. Amazing.
  14. I had it at number one . Really haven't seen much advertising for it here, so not surprised it's not done as well as I thought.
  15. Has to be Ambrose winning to set up a Shield Triple Threat for Summerslam doesn't it? Writes itself, so they probably won't do it?
  16. So this Battlefield 1 seems batshit insane. Just watched a video where a zeppelin drops from the sky mid game and then you can run around inside the ruins shooting people. You can pilot bi-planes and there is a level based on the Arabian conflicts. This might be getting a pre-order from me.
  17. Isn't Leo a bit old to play Holmes? He was hung when he was 34. Or Hollywood Magic~!?
  18. Saw this yesterday, went in with low expectations based on word of mouth, was very pleasantly surprised. It's nowhere near as bad as all that. I think the main reason it has criticism is that you really need to have watched all the other movies for this one to make sense. It ties things up nicely. Enjoyed it more than Batman vs Superman. Random thoughts:
  19. Don't understand the scoring, but first with 0 points, I'll take it!
  20. This raw peaked early with Big E gyrating whilst staring right at Stephanie who was hiding her face. Had me in stitches.
  21. Don't have time to read the whole thread, so hope it hasn't been mentioned already. Anyone see Cena and Roman being split up to run each brand as the man? Then they can lead to the eventual galactico main event as wrestlemania. I'd like them to let the tag titles be defended across both rosters along with the women's title. There is enough depth for a women's tag championship as well, could even dip down to NXT to defend them there too.
  22. What I really liked: Rusev making Kalisto humble with that Accolade. Jericho dieing for our entertainment on those thumbtacks and the subsequent sell job. AJ Styles the human rag doll, he made Reigns look like Lesnar that's how good his bumping was. The fan's Roman's Anoa'ing sign, slightly xenophobic, but genius wordplay nevertheless.
  23. Still looks absolutely terrible, only Hemsworth quoting Jaws got a laugh out of me.
  24. After that main event I'd rather see Charlotte beat the snot out of Stephanie than watch her beat Nattie for the umpteenth time. I'd also rather watch 85 year old Ric Flair out crazy Shane McMahon. Rusev's Accolade on poor little Kallisto has to be the best one he's ever done. Other than that the best Accolade was the one Summer Rae did on Lana, but for different leg related reasons.
