Stroopy121 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 If you force a book into a kid's hands, if they're anything like me they'll look at the words but not give much of a fuck what they're saying. If you can coax a kid to pick a book up by himself, it's a whole different ball game. I like to think of myself as having a fairly steadfast grasp of the English language and reading books that I didn't understand in the least, but that I wanted to and slogged through googling every second sentance, is responsible for that.Relying on spell-check is also slowly chipping away at it, but that's another story.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I can see a case where it could have been a good thing.Fuck you. *ashamed*And it's a piece by Handel. Yes, it's moar of a choon because Poker Face is baws.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Me neither. I'm not a massive fan of Handel's at all. Just like Joe and Jake aren't Shakespeare fans. Nothing wrong with that. I just think more people listening to/reading the likes of classical music/listerature and forming educated opinions on it is a good thing. As it is, too many people claim they don't like classic literature or classical music despite never having properly experienced it, that's the only point I'm trying to make.I thought I hated hip-hop until I heard Scroobius Pip, that opened a few doors and I'm still exploring more and more hip-hop finding a lot of stuff I like among the (IMHO) shit.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Not at all.I'm saying you don't like Shakespeare, that's fine.I'm also saying that Romeo and Juliet may make kids who haven't read any Shakespeare want to go read some.And I'm saying that's a good thing.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just because it's complicated doesn't make it good.It id extremely well to stick to it's own internal logic so well, but it took itself far too seriously. It would have been a really good film if it appeared that even a single person involved in the film was having fun making it.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I disliked Romeo and Juliet greatly (book and film, and every other modern movie inspired by it like Romeo Must Die, Gnomeo and Juliet is also awful). Far better Shakespeare out there. Go read or watch Othello, the film adaptation with Laurenca Fishburne and Kenneth Branagh as Iago is maybe the most accessible version for those who can't tolerate reading loads of pages of ye olde english (which I can understand, it can be difficult to interpret when spoken but is even harder when written). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Milners no holds barred raping of my eyes continued this weekend.First off.Mega shark vs giant octopusWorld class special effects and a believable plot. The inclusion of these two things may have made this a good film. The 'science' scenes are mind blowing. The shark biting a jumbo jet out of the sky was incredible. The rest of it stank of that Movies 4 Men channel. Utter ding but the commentary from the viewers made it bearable.HackersA look into the world of computer hackers. I never realised that large oil companys have rooms with glass pillars that are full of data. I think the people who made the film had never actually seen a computer prior to the filming. It has dated terribly and has that massive prick from the Scream films going about looking like an industrial techno freak/ gothic transexual. Worth it for the 2 second glimpse of Brad Pits' missus' smaller than I expected baps. Embarrasingly off the mark with the technical side of computers.Rush HourActually good. I was suprised to see this bad boy on Milners super computer of B-movies. Made up for the emotional scarring caused by the previous two films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Talking of Matthew Lillard, I watched SLC Punk! the other night.It's basically gurny-face-Lillard ranting at the camera about Anarchy and stuff. Then he sells out at the end and attempts to justify it like a lame-o. The film was pretty enjoyable despite Shaggy from Scooby Doo being a bit of a dick. The guy's friends, Heroin Bob and Mike are great characters.Actually, fuck, I watched Lillard getting raged at by George Clooney in The Descendants too. That prick gets everywhere.
