Could Harold spell VPN?
What purpose would that serve?
Seems like he was caught due to his IP. Wouldn't a VPN avoid that? Don't know much about how these things work.
He was caught because he can't help but post like the dickhead that he is.
Rumbled after about two posts, before the ip thing had been posted.
SvN can you give me access to the mod lounge again please? Ta.
Yeah me too if all us mongs are having a charity go at it.

Listening to Gillian Anderson on Kermode bore on and on it strikes me that ACTORS have now surpassed the insufferable levels of gobbing off about anything that IN BUSINESS wankers reached a couple of years ago.
Yeah they can all go die in a fire.
They've long been the most insufferable people in the world when asked to talk about anything other than acting, and even then you'll occasionally get the sort of self absorbed wanker who talks as though acting is the world's most brave, noble, and important profession.
It gets particularly lol when you hear someone like Joseph Gordon Levitt saying he didn't know who Edward Snowden was when he was approached to play him and you're reminded that for the most part these people live in complete isolation from the rest of the world.
I don't think them having an opinion is a problem, but the fact that they're given s pedestal from which to voice it.
Why are The Guardian reporting what he thinks?
Lots of people don't know who he is. I wish I didn't, I only do because of that snoozefest Citizen4 "documentary" (read: grown man filming himself in a hotel room) TTH convinced me to record.
Maybe without TTH I'd "live in complete isolation."
If I could understand the speaking in ISIS videos I'd probably wanna join.
I'm a twit
I think basically to have any kind of shot at making it as an actor, you need to have some pretty strong traits of narcissism really. So it's not so surprising so many of them end up such wankers and have such problems finding meaning in their lives that they have to join a cult.
Logan was not what I expected.
Was pretty great.
Question: why are there so few great films set in medieval times / middle ages / about the crusades? Or, any recent ones at least - I don't want to watch Charlton Heston films. It seems like there are so many great stories to tell, yet apart from Braveheart and Gladiator it seems to be slim pickings.
Inspired by watching Apocalypto the other night. Great film.
finding dory was pretty great.
Not really what I was looking for, Foe...
Because the Middle Ages (fucking Gladiator) are boring, and you couldn't make a decent Crusades film without pissing at least one large market off.
Gladiator isn't set in the Middle Ages.
Try durango kids. It'll be right up there in what you're looking for. Great film about the Middle Ages (8-12).
Disagree - plenty of great stories to be told. Any number of conquest stories, individual battles, age of exploration, etc.
Did Kingdom of Heaven piss people off?
edit: include the Dark Ages too, then. Plenty of cool stuff happened then, as well.
A sympathetic Drake biopic would be good for making certain nationalities cry. Get it made.
Shakespeare covered the Middle Ages about as well as it's ever going to be done.
The problem with all those films is they're ancient. It's like if space films were all pre-90s. Give me something epic with great production values and a great cast, dammit!
Mine is from '93.
Saw Logan.A single tear was shed.What a stunner of a movie.
That's 24 years ago. I'm generalising, ffs.
What's to produce? Muddy battles, couple of castles, and a doublet or two. I think filmmakers have had them down for a while.
CGI.

Gotta make all those dragons and space battles look good.
Like what? And Kingdom of Heaven avoided controversy by just BOTTLING IT, which is why (along with Orlando Bloom) it ended up being lame.
Joan of Arc, Hastings, Spanish Armada, Atilla the Hun, Hannibal, Columbus, Pizarro. Endless possibilities.

Apparently it's shit though.
Yeah. I was looking through lists earlier sure that there were some great ones from the 90s that I'd never watched or heard of, but apparently they're pretty dire right across the board.
There are interesting aspects of those events/people, but how does a Spanish Armada film work? The hero would be the wind. There is a Christopher Columbus film, made by Ridley Scott no less, but there is nothing particularly film-worthy about any of it. He sails over there, he builds a church, and then some crap intrigue happens. Brilliant, mate (belting soundtrack though).
Considering the individual characters that modern war films are written about these days, and then placed in their larger context, I reckon most of those events could have the same done to them.
Didn't know about that Ridley Scott film. Will check it out.
There are several Joan of Arc films, most of them French, but I think I've seen an English language one as well.
Most of those would be better as historical novels or something. There's very little you can do on film. Modern war films work because we are all familiar with the wider context. Most people don't know what the Crusades were. It's hard to do exposition of the grand sweep of history on film.
Valhalla Rising touches on the Crusades, but its very minimalist and arthouse so for the majority it bores them to tears. Like the majority of Refn's work.
Kingdom of Heaven is good, particularly the Directors Cut. Even if it does take a lot of liberties with actual history.
Also, I watched Southpaw with Jake Gyllenhaal. He's good. The story is not, being a big bundle of cliche's.
Went to see Logan in 2D IMax today and it was genuinely brilliant.
Deadpool opened this up to be 15 which is great because it could be exactly what it needed to be and not watered down.
I'm a sucker for Doctor Strange so that's at the top of my rankings but Logan slots in firmly behind it as best Comic Book film.
Many tears were shed on my end.
It was also my first IMax outing and I loved it, there's something special about an extra big screen and audio so loud that you feel the vibrations clearly.
Yeah i think it surpassed Winter Soldier for me as far as best comic book movie ever is concerned.Toggle Spoiler
Weird how there's that subtle sexual element to that review from Mahow.

Oh God the comic book wankers are running rampant
