Mad Max should have won all of the awards because it's the best movie ever.

Dredd didn't manage to piss off MRAs as much as Mad Max did and is therefore the inferior film.

Dredd 2: Balls?

Dredd is an excellent film, but Mad Max is a level beyond simply because of how much it accomplishes with so little dialogue. Miller's a miracle worker.

Lol at the comments on the article Keg posted, 'Dredd is egalitarian not feminist as it doesn't put one sex over the other.'

Given how loving long modern movies are I am always shocked they don't put in intermissions in order to play more ads and sell more lovely overpriced food and drink. It seems like an exquisitely capitalist thing to do, I'm baffled as to why they haven't.

Huh, that's kind of neat, the main character in the Force Unleashed games is called starkiller, but he's supposed to be the bad guy.

Is Rugby compulsory?

This thread has been pretty loving blase about throwing bricks at people's faces, so I think it's a tiny bit hypocritical to start hand wringing about mutually consensual and controlled forms of violence.

Are you really equating smoking with rugby?

A kid two years above me at school was loving around in the school pool, smacked his head and was underwater a few seconds too long before someone noticed. He survived, but with life changing brain damage. Drowning is one of the largest accidental killers of kids- should the school have changed things so we could only swim tethered with a scuba tank and armbands?

The school stopped the pool being used for external use during school hours to allow more slots for swimming lessons for kids to take place and lectured the poo poo out of us about the dangers of screwing around near/in water, complete with scary videos and constant references to the kid that nearly died.

This is probably one of the biggest benefits for playing rugby in schools, Everyone has a role to play and its very inclusive. My experience with playing rugby wasn't getting repeatedly hit in the head, in fact I don't think I ever took a hit above the shoulders in all the years I played it at school. I honestly think this is a full on over reaction to something that's not actually a problem.

What are your thoughts on villains who are shameless (non-British) racist stereotypes but have British accents anyway, eg Ming the Merciless?

So there's a perverse logic at play. It's the poorer areas with supplemented water to aid dental health, but the water tastes so awful, nobody drinks it and relies on sugary drinks instead.

On a wholly unrelated note saw this little joke from the Viz on twitter earlier about benefit fraud and it made me laugh http://viz.co.uk/letterbocks-benefit-fraud/ I've never quite been able to figure out if the Viz is actually horribly sexist, homophobic etc or if its a huge work of satire, any ideas?
