Uncle Steveo (don't worry, he said there were 5 of them working there) from the Movie Co said it was ok to watch the clip he sent so long as I didnt share it?

A raccoon using a machine is memory I will treasure.<br />
Zoe Saldana still manages to look hot even when she's green.</p></blockquote>

Felt like I was watching Firefly, can't give it higher praise. Good, fun comic book movie. -

Good call, Chris Pratt was perfect for that role, the wrestler was pretty good too I thought .<br>
The only possible way it could have been improved was if it was a honey badger instead of a raccoon , honey badgers don't need guns though. -

<p>Ah crap, you've just raised my expectations ... hugely.</p> -
<p>hhmmm, more talk on Firefly, might have to see if the video shop has it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>@Kirwan, I recall you mentioning a while back you were a fan of Nathan Fillon (wasnt your bro on an ep of Castle?) but I hadnt seen him in anything else, guess I'll find out why! </p> -

<p>Bloody hell TR, you haven't seen Firefly? The Wire, Firefly ... walks away shaking his head. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Firefly has been airing on Maori TV for the last couple of months - they only have an episode to go.</p> -
<p>I still have The Wire ready to go, just need to find the time to try again...TBH, I think the first time I heard of Firefly it was on TBBT, I didnt watch alot of TV series (aside from endless Simpsons re-runs) when I was in the UK, which was when this aired.</p>

Yes to both. Only time I've asked him to pass on a message (such a fanboy). <br />
<br />
Fillion is one of those guys that pops up in all sorts if things and you don't realise it was him. Outside if sci fi, I thought he was great in The Waitress. <br />
<br />
As for Firefly, worth watching and then seeing the movie Serenity. He's basically Han Solo in a more literal space western. -

<p>I first recognised him as the evil priest on Buffy (oddly enough that series of Buffy was the only one I have seen as my flatmate watched it religiously, apart form a few first season episodes) so when I saw him on Firefly it was a revelation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>TR: Remember to watch The Wire as a period peace so the old tech doesn't annoy you so much. ;)</p> -
Finally saw Reacher. Good movie with Cruise pulling off the "give no fucks" world weary guy. Thought his monologue about "freedom" in the lawyer's office was a good piece of writing. Rosamund Pike's cleavages provided excellent supporting cast even if her eyes are a little weird. Favourite moment has to be Robert Duvall driving the dump truck, laughing and saying "suck it!"

<p>I see some clips are doing the rounds of a younger Jason Statham (with hair) competing in Diving at the Commonwealth Games in Auckland.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I won't bother posting them they are easy to find and boring.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let's just say he's likely a better actor than diver :)</p> -

Judd from outrageous fortune was competing in the swimming at those games too -

What you'll tell the mrs when you bring home the DVD "it's a dark sci fi thriller, it did very well at Cannes ."<br><br>
What you'll tell your mates " holy shit, Scarlett Johanson plays this alien chick and stands in front of a mirror checking her naked body out for about two minutes. The scene is shot from behind her so you see her butt at the same time. "
