Re: One could always ask Doc Brown

I doubt Stephen Rae could have ruined V for Vendetta any more than it was already ruined.

Re: He's right but for the wrong reason

I've always said that we could easily have a mass cull of the stupid simply by having their satnavs work out when they are heading eastwards on Beachy Head and then issuing the direction "Turn Right Now"

Re: Couple of $$$?

I saw Skyfall on opening night and it cost me €18 for two of us.

Prior to that I took my youngest daughter to see Brave on a Saturday morning and it cost €7.50.

Re: People like this obviously never took "critical thinking 101".

Did you not notice that the people in question are septics?

Re: I wonder how he feels

My thoughts precisely- I understand the suit alone cost $200,000. Wouldn't this money be better spent saving the planet?

Re: New Star Wars trilogy planned - why?

You forgot "Howard The Duck" (the reason Lucas sold ILM/Pixar to Jobs)

"The Register concluded that the record did not support an extension of the exemption to 'tablet' devices,"

Re: I really want to like the Daniel Craig films

"Casino Royale (Daniel Craig) is an hour long poker game because the book is largely a poker game."

You might want to reread the book- it wasn't poker.

Re: I would say one thing...

That's the idea though- they make you pay for the full-whack RAM and HHD options up front rather than hope you will upgrade them in the future (in which case they hope you will just buy a new Macbook)

Re: So analysts are wrong....

I'm guessing that they are still using goat entrails in order to make their predictions.

Remember, you can't spell Analyst without "anal"

Dalton's Bond...

"Dalton's, particularly, tried to get closer to Fleming's idea of a darker, more conflicted man."

One of the reasons I've always favoured him over the other Bonds. Dalton played the character a lot closer to how Fleming wrote him. I think License To Kill is the best example of Bond as written, fiercely loyal, cold blooded and willing to go to any lengths to achieve his objective.

Re: Caveat emptor only applies to a degree

But in this case, you could see that it was a Morris Minor, everybody in the industry said it was a Morris Minor. The only people that claimed it was a Porsche was the owner and a lot of 'financial analysts'. Now if you decide to go with the biased opinion rather than the informed one, then you shouldn't really be surprised when a Morris Minor ends up on your front doorstep.

Re: If he wanted to make some cash out of a faked natural disaster

>Bond of course would be unflappable as he seems to favour Sony tech.

Well originally Ericsson tech but Sony bought them out (remember the P800 and how amazing it was that the baddie was able to take a picture of Bond with it....)

The plot of View To A Kill was just a weak rehash of Goldfinger.

I'm surprised the co-worker didn't get sacked for coercion.

What I want to know, is how did the management find out that "too much" chocolate had been added?

"One frequently overlooked aspect of the major label model is that successful artists subsidise the less successful"

Re: He hasn't lost anything

The Sunday Times Rich List did something similar with TomTom- Over valued them one year and placed them in the rich list and then next year decided that their paper wealth actually wasn't worth that much

Re: Waiting for

I kept thinking about Lou and Andy from Little Britian. I can see Andy (I mean Ali) coming out of the Apple store on Friday and chucking the iPhone5 in a bin, saying 'I don't like it.'
