The Tube is the most efficient public transit system I've used or at least on par with New Yorks subway. Sure it gets crowded on peak hour but it pretty much gets you anywhere you want and fast. Maybe someone can enlighten me as to why Australian cities don't have these kind of under ground rail networks.

Japan Rail is incredible man.

We've never been bombed. (Except Darwin)

Three Colours was a great trilogy.

The Swedish originals of the Girl with a Dragon Tattoo etc etc trilogy are epic.

I had a piss next to Brian McFadden on Saturday. I got him beat.

What is his 'hole to inch' ratio?

Its enormously expensive and infrastructure seems to be a dirty word in mainstream Australian politics. Its sad that the Greens are the only party I can name that has any transit plans in their knapsack (high-speed rail down the east coast corridor).

Let's just say if he is indicative of the general Irish male population it's no wonder they are so charming.

It would make a lot of sense. As for under ground networks I'm more talking about back in the long long ago when cities were starting to grow in the 1880s-90s-1900, why weren't these kind of transit systems put in place. They would of know about similar networks being set up in other cities around the world. I suppose it was money like most things.

The simple answer is that we didn't have anywhere near the concentration of population to justify that sort of mass transit. In Adelaide we still don't really, we keep spreading out.

Toy Story is the obvious ultimate trilogy.

Toy Story is the obvious ultimate trilogy.

Exactly, if Disney can turn adventures of sentient Toys into one of the best trilogies of all time, then surely they can do the same with Star Wars, with a much greater premise to work with.

We are centuries away from economies of scale

Toy Story is the obvious ultimate trilogy.

Depends on your age. If you were an adult when the first one came out, then it's just another kid's movie. But if (like me) you're roughly the same age as Andy is, then the first two movies are amazing when you're a kid and the third movie is just about the most nostalgic thing ever made. I almost never get emotional in movies, but the end of that movie got me.

My brother thinks Nick Maxwell is the best player at Collingwood - even better than Swan, Pendleburry, Thomas, etc.

I hope your brother can lift heavy things.

You know, for his future employment prospects.

But dude, his leadership qualities are, leadery!

Compared to someone like Ray Lewis he's an errand boy.

I like Matt Damon and dislike tomato sauce. I enjoyed the Bourne movies and like my pies without sauce.

Can't believe Diehard hasn't been mentioned - unless I missed it...

 

[Portia]

Die Hard works if you pretend Die Hard 2 wasn't part of the trilogy

 

[Doctor Feel]

Every, single, arnie, movie. <3

I watched the first Dirty Harry a few months ago for the first time. Liked it.

Dirty Harry is a great movie with and amazing original music score by Lalo Schifrin.

Is he though?

Dime a dozen action stars are just that.

Watch old episodes of Moonlighting it's the same shit different background.

I did like him in Pulp Fiction but he wasn't really stretching himself was he?

 

[Portia]

I thought he was good in Unbreakable, but I guess its not that hard a gig to look bewildered.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Unbreakable - The Sixth Sense which one was he bewildered in again?
