    <p>Finally saw this, had to hunt around to find it in a cinema. Agree with the rating, I was really looking forward too it which can be a recipe for disappointment but it lived up to the hype (what hype there was). Blunt and Cruise were both good in it, I thought Cruise was particularly bloody good as a sniveling wimp. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I can't believe that more Americans didn't go see it.</p>

    <p>I don't get it either, I really enjoyed that film. Saw an interview with him where he was describing how they came up with the wimpiest sound possible when the truck ran over him, I think the star wars geeks don't need to worry if he ends up in their film .</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Also Emily Blunt looked really hot.</p>

    <p>Can't wait to get that one - a movie in which Tom Cruise dies a lot. What's not to like?</p>

    <p>Yeah, I don't know why they changed the title, it's much better.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Is it a book book or a graphic novel book?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Jegga: Blunt was hot in it, I've found she's always hotter when speaking with her own accent.</p>

    Could be one for the kindle <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' class="bbc_url" href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_you_need_is_kill'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_you_need_is_kill</a><br><br>
    I made my apprentices year when I told him that Emily Blunt made a movie with girl on girl love and nude scenes when she was in her early 20s.<br><br>
    Edit , it's called my summer of love and for the most part is a tedious art house thing .

    Need for speed - super car popcorn movie! Some of the close up driving scenes didn't look real but still good fun. Has Jessie from Breaking Bad, Imogen Poots and Michael Keaton

    Decides to buy all 5 game of thrones books in hard cover rather then read as e books.<br />
    Was funny during the stormy weather here when repeated power cuts meant the mrs was caught out with a flat kindle and couldn't read. Meanwhile I have a little book light thing, flicked it on and read away.<br />
    <br />
    Suck on that I wanted to tell her, but didn't as I'm not very brave/stupid.<br />

    <p>I have half a storage locker full of books 😞 (that I'm too lazy to sort) ... I too like to pay authors, but I tend to use ebooks like a library now - give a book a quick read to see whether I like it then order online. </p>

    <p>I put off buying an e-reader until I went on holiday to SE Asia last year and got a tablet for the trip (for movie watching initially). It's bloody awesome having 100s of books at your disposal and I can manage the logistics of keeping my tablet powered up. I'd still much rather read an actual book though but as I read a bunch of books on the go an e-reader is great for travel.</p>

    <p>I like books. I like how they smell when new, the feel of them, the whole tactile experience.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But I have two Kindles. One for the car and one by my bed. I like being able to read on the go - while I am on the physio table - basically any time I feel like it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I like not ever losing my place and as an insomniac I love the fact that if I finish my book at 2.30 am I can go to the Library without stirring.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>You get about 35 hours of battery life on a Kindle Virgil.  Couldn't you guys think of anything else to do in the dark....</p>
