  1. The Return of the King - 10 severed Gondorian heads out of ten.

     

    A near-perfect finale to an epic, peerless trilogy of films. People can gripe about the multiple endings and the rather rushed demise of Saruman or other perceived omissions/changes to the text but for me I don't think anybody could have presented such a massive series of books better than Jackson.

     

    This was a war film in every sense. In fact, the entire story is about a world plunged into an all-consuming, utterly destructive war. Breathtaking visuals, superbly acted, riveting story and so gripping. I get goosebumps every time the Rohirrum appear on the horizon to rescue Minas Tirith.

     

    Love it. Could watch it over and over. The battle of Pelannor Fields is fucking awesome.

  2.  

    No' date=' but I've got Dick Van Dyke who, at age 87, was rescued from his car when it went on fire today.

    According to the Guardian he was also saved from drowning by porpoises or dolphins or some shit. It's like he's being protected from dead pools by some shit-cockney voice loving higher power

  3. "That's why Roger Pedacter is dead! He found Captain Winky!" - Ace Ventura

     

    "Look son, we burnt this tight-arsed city to the ground in 1814 and I'm all for doing it again" - Malcom Tucker, In The Loop

     

    "I'm not saying I don't trust you, and I'm not saying I do. But I don't" - Topper Harley, Hot Shots! Part Deux

  4. Can I just bump this and say that following that image of Rosie Jones in a baked bean bath, if anyone has a similar one of Rachel Riley in a bath of Alphabetti Spaghetti I would be most grateful.

  5. Stoke. Oh my fucking God what an absolute cesspit of despair and nightmares.

     

    Went into the place en route back home from visiting a relative, because there was a decent tent in their Go Outdoors store.

     

    Turns out the tent was the most stable, sturdy and interesting thing about the entire city.

     

    I felt like they do in Harry Potter when the Dementors show up and take away everyone's happy thoughts.

     

    Grim. Fucking grim.

  6. Impossible to pick one. These were the first band I could call "mine", given I was twelve when Definitely Maybe came out.

     

    1) The Masterplan - Noel's finest hour as a writer

    2) Live Forever - epic

    3) Stay Young

    4) Bring It On Down

    5) Rock and Roll Star

  7. Much more convincing cheer there' date=' girl!![/quote']

     

    Brilliant showing that at the end. She's going to be a cracking player in years to come.

     

     

    At the minute though, she struggles to deal with power and the likes of Williams will smash her unless she learns fast.

  8. Went to one a few years back as Gandalf the Grey. The missus had got me Glamdring (his sword, for the uninitiated) for a birthday a few months earlier and I was determined to put it to good use.

     

    So got the full outfit, beard and all, and risked possible arrest by walking to the party wielding this full sized, bloody sharp sword.

     

    Ace party, and even got to threaten a weirdo crasher by announcing "you shall not pass" whilst drawing the sword. Fun times.
