Meh. Far too skinny. Where's the fun if you could snap them in half??</p></blockquote>

You're starting from a lower baseline for the inevitable weight gain when you move in together. -

Crucial ,hate to be the one to break it to you but any woman that said that to you was trying to make you feel better . In reality she probably refers to you as needledick the bugfucker when she's talking about you to her friends on a girls night out.<br>
Sorry mate. -

TBH I'm not all that familiar with her other work, but in Vinyl she looked a healthy enough weight. Not farking hospice chick like that thing from Ally McBeale. Or that stick insect from Sex and The City. -
<p>I finally caught up with The Dark Horse yesterday. It wasn't at all what I was expecting, which was a life-affirming biopic about a Maori bloke who became a chess champion against the odds. Instead I got an incredibly gritty movie with some truly great acting performances and a new respect for Cliff Curtis. Olivia Wilde isn't in it though, so a couple of stars off for that.</p>

Prefer a few more curves personally, but hey, if we all liked the same thing there wouldn't be enough to go round!<br><br>
Eddie the Eagle - sounded like the lamest film ever, but actually really enjoyed it. The man was clearly tapped, but had some serious bottle - going down those jumps for the first time in his 20s. All the pros were training from about 8 so would have known no fear. -

<p>oh, and Crucial, whoever said that to you was talking about your gut, and her hips</p> -

<p>Piss off. Shakespeare in Love was a great movie. <strong>Joseph Fiennes, Geoffrey Rush, Judi Dench, Colin Firth as the villain, even a young Ben Affleck</strong>...I'll forgive them for casting Gwyneth and her mozzie bites. (She shouldn't have gotten Best Actress)</p>

<p>Are those names supposed to make me like it better ? it's having the reverse effect.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Those photos have reminded me why I need to watch Cowboys and Aliens again but unfortunately she's attired in the garb of the day where the slightest hint of a bare ankle was enough to make a man go and wank.....</p> -

That's an awesome read, cheers.

<p>Saw Mahana the other day. Thought the script was pretty bad - had no idea what the source material was like. The acting was good and it was well directed, shot and edited but I don't think those factors could carry the plot. It's okay and wouldn't recommend unless you like New Zealand films.</p>

<p>Daddys Home - Will Ferrel, Mark Wahlberg and cameo by John Cena.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will Ferrell is a wussy bumbling step-dad, Wahlberg the cool real dad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had its moments, slow through the middle, but ended with a funny little cameo of Cena's, not really a fan of Ferrel, but this was watchable</p> -
<p>The John Cena bit at the end was the best bit IMO. Certainly watchable for amusement on a rainy day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched 22 Bullets starring Jean Reno and it's good. Hollywood will make a version and ruin it type good. Certainly better than the IMDB rating suggests. Jean is a retired mobster and you can guess how it goes from there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It loses two stars; one for a lack of tits and could have had more gore/ violence/ shoot-outs given the opportunities in the script.</p> -
<p>I liked it, but then i like Will Ferrell, and i like Mark Wahlberg. I laughed at quite a lot of it. </p>
