I think the opening scene of the third film is pretty gritty. And, indeed, the scene that extends it later on in he film.

I haven't seen the first film in years but I do enjoy it. The second one is shite, though, despite the fact I like John Woo films, usually.

Good review, I enjoyed the film but the third is still my personal favourite.

What has my thread become?

That photo makes me sad.

@ Pastormacman- That's awesome, glad your baby girl's doing good

They thought I was gay and constantly teased me about it, so yeah, they were jealous

I listen to 80s music for the most part, I don't think I have a guilty pleasure song as I'm not ashamed by anything I listen to.

Dude, I am so sorry to see that. Hope you're doing ok.

Ok, things I learned this week by Jimmy Laverne Aloysius Batman Brown aged 35 and 8 months.....

1. There's a woman at my new job that I just know I am going to have problems with.
2. There's a different woman at my work who is bloody gorgeous and I'm a bit in love with her already.
3. Never buy a Blu Ray player that is reduced because the box is bashed. There is a reason for the reduction, like the prongs of the fitted plug being missing.
4. Listening to Tysto's commentary for Licence to Kill, I discovered he has a man crush on Benicio Del Toro
5. I had the chance to go to the cinema today but decided against it. It turns out that there is absolutely sod all I want to see at the cinema at this moment in time.

Commentaries. Especially of 80s films, but maybe of less-known 80s films. If I can't do commentaries of them, then my friend and I shall just watch the films then talk about them to see if they are 'undiscovered gems' or not. I am currently in the process of acquiring a new microphone for better sound quality. All I need is a new laptop too, but one step at a time.

Owen, what TV show were you a runner for? And the guy in the hat that one the comedian competition, has he become known in the UK at all or has he vanished into obscurity?

Well done for reaching the finals, though, that is awesome

I knew that is what people would ask, well, obviously or I wouldn't have wrote it. My older cousin was always jealous of me. I admit I was spoiled rotten s a child, by my gran. As I say, my mum had issues and was usually working and then drinking so I spent a great deal of my childhood living with my gran.  She would buy me basically whatever I wanted 9I fully admit I took advantage a lot, but hey- child!) and my cousins hated this fact. Even to the point that they would actually steal my toys or comics and things. One day when we were all outside playing with the kids in the neighbourhood, my older cousin took offence when I won at a game so he just attacked me. He pinned me to the ground and tried to strangle me, I almost passed out. I can't even remember who took him off of me that time.
The second time, we were teenagers and at our aunts house, hanging with our cousins. This time I didn't even have to win at a game because he was just in a bad mood and I clearly said the wrong thing and he attacked me again. And again, he tried to choke me to death. This time, however, my other older cousin (one I was close to) was there and he helped me and kicked the shit out of him and chucked him out the house. I have hardly seen my would be murderer in about 20 years as he moved away. The last time I saw him, he spoke to me as though nothing happened but he did boast that he hired a guy to kill someone who pissed him off......

So, yeah, sorry for the downer but I had a shitty childhood, was bullied a lot but I have evolved (I think) into a good person. I have never broken the law (except, downloading which is crap, sure but nothing major) and I try to treat people with the respect I would like to get. All of this is due to my mum, who, when I was 15, fell pregnant again and changed her life around. If it wasn't for my mum I don't know where (or indeed, my mum) would be right now. Probably Wales. Ugh, can you imagine?
