If you liked Fight Club and American Psycho you'll love it. The two main characters are basically fleshed out versions of Tyler Durden and Bateman. Shit gets crazy.

So basically the character is like tim evans, but not tim evans.
 
NCIS was enjoyable until they killed kate and replaced the director with some menopausal bitch.
Man as if, I had a massive crush on Ziva when I was 11.
I thought Kate was a bit too plain, First episode of season 7 that was my favourite but completely unrealistic.

Tony and McGee purposely get taken hostage to get revenge on Ziva's murderer [as they thought] who was a militant guy [Tony and the dude had some great scenes] and buy time until the military attacks the compound.

I stopped watching after Ziva's actress left

Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy doesn't get played often enough. Ditto Underworld movies. Should just put Catwoman on a 24-hour loop...

I think FTA TV has given up on Spiderman 1 and 3 and just randomly play 2. Spiderman 2 is one of my favourite movies though and I can watch it over and over. Matter of fact, I'm gonna head over to IMDB now and give it a 10.

lol Catwoman.
 
Death Wish V on Gem. It's really really really bad. Poor Charlie was moving as slow as treacle by then.
Saw 35 secs as Bronson was wrapping some guy in plastic. Sad, sicko franchise to end a decent little career. I looked up his films on IMDb and was surprised to see the Magnificent Seven was 1960.
 
Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind when I think 'hacking' in movies or tele is some sexy person frantically typing on a computer for 10 seconds before a bar appears on screen and counts up to 100%. Hack complete! Or something.

I'll suss it out.
Swordfish and Halle Berry comes to mind for me.
 
Spiderman 2 is one of my favourite movies though and I can watch it over and over.

Reckon they've played Spidey 2 twice in the last two weeks.

Far out, there was one movie, I can't remember, they showed on consecutive nights.

Love to know programming's reasoning behind showing the same movies over and over again.

"Oh yeah, it'll be just like having subscription TV. For FREE!!! Punters will love it."

So I got my rego in the mail, and it says that I can't renew my rego because I have an outstanding issue in the criminal law sentencing act.

I was like "what the hell? I don't even have any fines."

I called fines enforcement unit, and they found the file etc. they asked me "have you been to court recently?"

..."Oh my god, what? NO!"

"Ok. Give me a second."

5 minutes later "We have a file here with your name and licence number, but a different date of birth. We are just trying to figure this out."

Back on hold.

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!?!?

UPDATE: "Have you ever lived in Berri?"

"What? NO!"

"...okay, we're going to have to call you back."

Death Wish is an awesome franchise, you just haven't seen part 3 enough.

A similar thing happened to me. Moved into my first house and within a couple of weeks had a letter from a government debt collection agency threatening me with court action if I didn't pay my council rates.

Called them up and worked out they were after someone else with the same name who doesn't pay their bills. Pull your head in guy with same name, grrrr.

Yeah i'm hoping something similar is going on here. I can't renew my rego until this is sorted out apparently. I never received any fines notices, and when I tried to look up if I had any on the fines website, it said there was no records found. When she asked me "have you been to court recently?" I was genuinely shocked.

Eat a gigantic satchel of gary lyons other dude with court dates that have somehow ended up on my file.

She said "We have a folder here with your licence number and your name, but a different date of birth."

They've literally given nothing away to me about whether they think there has been a mix up or not. So I still am none the wiser as to what is going on. If I had a fine, all I wanted to know was how much it was so I could pay it. Instead I am some kiddy fiddler from Berri with a suspended licence.
 
OH MY GOD!

They just called me.

Okay...get this.

I'VE BEEN DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENCE! (Well not me, but me. Apparently.)

They applied hundreds of this guys unpaid fines to my name! My licence was suspended and if I had been pulled over, I'd probably be in jail trying to express my innocence! That's how bad it was!

The lady goes:

"You are taking this remarkably well."

I'm like "Well, nothing bad has come of it, but wow."

Never underestimate the incompetence of the police sector.

I once had a cop rock up to my door , and tell me that there was a 5 year old warrant out for my arrest or arreignment or something like that.

I had to accompany him to the police station , then sit in a locked cell alone for 15 minutes while they checked some paperwork , then had to sign a form saying I would appear in court at a specific date. I still have no idea why I wasn't sat in some waiting room instead of being locked up.

Now the issue was for something like 8 years ago when I was 18 I drove and my rego had expired and I hadn't realised. I was sent a fine and lost demerit points . I paid the fine in full immediately and never heard anything more about it. Apparently a warrant had been out for me for years , despite the police always knowing my address as they send my rego there , me making multiple police reports about people trying to steal my car etc.

If you haven't been sat in a police cell randomly and left alone trust me you don't ever want to. It was a surreal experience . I was expecting Ashton Kutcher and some cameras to pop out at any moment , or it seemed just as likely they would forget about me forever.

So the court date arrives , I take a day off work and show up and wait my turn. When my name is called I step up and the judge looks at me , looks at the cop , who looks at me , and it turns out no one has any idea why I was there.

The judge suspends my sentence until the rising of the court , which it turns out I was the second to last case on the docket, so I was told I would be free to drive by the time I reached the door. I have no idea why he did this. He seemed pretty stumped by the whole thing and just seemed to blurt the first thing that came into his head.

So that is the story of how I was locked in a police cell , and had my license suspended for 90 seconds.


Lol
