Rewatched 'Event Horizon' last night, and it's still a tight, effective, pretty gruesome haunted house in space flick. (The CGI holds up reasonably well too.)

The CGI scene at the beginning with the rotating space station took up a third of the film's budget. TRUFAX!

And when I saw it at the cinema, I nearly puked my guts out! TRUFAX.

Also, I swear I remember the film being gorier at the movies. False memories, or SINISTER HOLLYWOOD CONSPIRACY?

Event Horizon is great. LewieP is bad. Joely Richardson is lush.

In Event Horizon the premise is that the ship has travelled to hell and back, and then torments the rescue crew with visions of hell through the prism of their own fears and guilt until they go kill-crazy and start wanting to gouge their own eyes out.


Ironically, Event Horizon is pretty much the only film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson that hasn't made me want to gouge my eyes out. The man's fucking terrible.

I don't mind small ones, or something to do with gaming on a gaming site, but not a big fan of massive neon adverts, especially when it's accompanied by a one line post.

The rules state this:

I would argue that it's not sensible, but as it's not defined I guess it's up to the mods.

I would never stoop so low as to flounce. That involves making sure all and sundry know you're leaving. Whenever I leave, I just slip out of the back entrance with the minimum of fuss.

Like a slippery turd.

The "myp in particular" was in reference to ignoring it, rather than flouncing, btw, but neat mental image. :)

Trooper, Trooper, Trooper. You seem to not understand the tribalism of football. Fans, players and staff are a gestalt entity. Imagine siamese twins but on a grand scale. Joined at the ball of the foot.

Yes, it's a shortening of that form. Because saying 'the team that I support' all the time would be fucking tedious. Like this conversation.

People who say 'less' incorrectly when it's meant to be fewer are just plain wrong.

The thing that really boils my piss is using "we" when talking about a football match that they weren't even at, let alone played in the team.

That's fair enough. I would probably feel the same if I hadn't been conditioned not to mind it by being indoctrinated into the cult of football from a young age.

Over the last few years I have found going to football matches a bit of a chore though, mainly because of the clientele they seem to attract (or at least a vocal minority). I think I'm properly falling out of love with the game.

As someone who's always hated football that was one of the major reasons why. The idea that it's actually got worse recently boggles my mind.

I don't think it has - I think I've changed more than football itself.

I hate the way Americans refer to sports teams as individuals. An example? Why, of course! In the Olympic Ice Hockey, the US guys would say things like "Finland needs to play better to overturn that deficit" instead of "Finland need to play better...". It just bugs me, m'kay

Yes, that annoys me too. They do it with any kind of organisation, like bands too. "Nickelback has announced a new tour" :spew:

FWIW, companies should always be referred to in the singular. Perhaps sports teams are analagous, as they're a club as well as a team made up of individuals.

Your link goes nowhere and your quote supports me by saying your usage is done only sometimes.

So, between that and MrKissyfur LAWYERING you, yay!
