The off topic thread #2

Movies are great and definitely not a waste of time for me, love getting caught up in what's going on in that world, same goes for video games.

I've been filling in gaps in my movie knowledge each week for the last few months. Jaws, the shining, Ghostbusters, fight club, godfather, all knocked off.

Which Ghostbusters, the 1984 version or recent reboot?

One thing I'm sure everyone can agree on is that the biggest waste of time is posting on an internet forum about other things being a waste of time

Safe bet would be the 1984 version surely since Jaws, the shining etc are in there too.

The reboot was trash.

Yes I would guess so, just checking as I haven't seen the reboot as yet. No real plans to either, have heard mostly things about it.

The original is one of my all time favourites. So many classic one liners that I didn't get as a kid, but laughed anyway. A bit similar to glory days of The Simpsons, some of the humour you only really get when you're older.

The Hangover 3 was on the other night, flicked a bit of it in. My goodness, what a monstrosity of a movie.

Original. Think it jumped the shark a bit at the end, didn't quite like the climax, but a good enough movie, good humour etc.

The first one was gold, the 2nd was ok but the 3rd I agree, it's an abomination!!

It felt like I had three hangovers watching it.

I think in the 30 odd minutes I watched I think I laughed twice. Just rubbish.

Sequels in general always disappoint.

 

[BluesMan]

I actually think the first Hangover movie is overrated. Not even that funny.

But I think my opinion has something to do with going in watching it with high expectations as I didnt see it till probably a year after release. Hate it when that happens

Pretty sure the director said that the third one isn't supposed to be a comedy though.

How long does a room temperature beer take to get cold in the freezer?

Do you have ice?

 

[jd2010]

Do you have ice?

Nah

 

[chef]

Nah

Well it'll take between 30-60ms IMO

If you had ice you could make a slurry in the sink with some salt and it'll take less than 10 mins.

 

[jd2010]

35 mins did the trick

I recently watched Ghostbusters I and II. Such great films.

 

[jd2010]

I watched the jaws and back to the future flicks a couple of months back. Despite the poor technology compared to now they're fantastic

Quickest way to make a beer cold is to wrap a paper towel around it, wet it and then put in fridge or freezer.

I actually think Jaws holds up pretty well.

I adore the BTTF films!

So I can get better at the Movie Trivia Quiz show I watch on Youtube.

Seriously, anyone who considers themselves a movie nut, likes WWE, or just needs a good Youtube series to watch this thing is epic:



This is the title match, they run it like the WWE in terms of rankings, and the competitors take on personas like in wrestling. So much fun to watch.

That was cool but they should shorten all the WWE crap. And stick to the trivia.

It gets pretty worth it when you watch most weeks and get invested in the players, but yeah even just the trivia is structured pretty well.

The guy who runs it used to work at WWE though haha.

I guess, im not a big WWE fan so less is more for me.
