<p>Kingsman: The Secret Service</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Absolutely fucking loved it. I watched it again immediately after it finished. Best ending ever!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Colin Firth completely redeems his earlier outings in "Pride and who the fuck cares" and all those other movies where he plays he essentially the same guy.</p>

<p>Watched this last night and thought it was pretty cool! Loved the way it played up to the genre and mixed old with the new, thought Samuel's Tyson character was so funny I laughed pretty much every time he spoke! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only when the credits rolled did I realise Luke Skywalker was in it too!</p> -

<p>I could only watch this on mute as at work but it looks quite cool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I even said "Oh wicked!" out loud in the last second of the preview</p> -
<p>Less Mad Max reviews on here considering the hype engendered by the trailers around here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Watched a couple of movies over the past week:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Son of a Gun: Aussie movie staring Ewen McGregor as a criminal who takes a young guy under his wing in prison and then they get up to shit when he gets out. Going in I thought it was an entirely prison set movie and the prison stuff was great. But still a decent enough watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Judge: Lawyer movie (very John Grisham style although not John Grisham) in which Robert Downey Jr has to return to his hometown to defend a client. Was pretty decent if a bit long.</p> -
<p>No, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Ok, so I didn't think a trailer could put me more off wanting to see a film than the Mad Max one ... until now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They may as well have just walked over and pissed on Swayze's grave - and now we know why Keanu looks so sad on the park bench.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>M4L - I can't actually make out what Chang is saying.</p> -
<p>haha i picked the one with no subtitles because i thought everyone knew that gif by now!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That trailer looks soooo fucking shit. Why does everything have to be in fucking teal now? jesus christ! seriously, fuck that movie. </p> -
<p>just for you Nepia...they shold just not use the name Point Break, change the names and make it another generic type rip off film...but the way they have done it, ripping off the original, it will always be compared to (and fail to live up to) the original, despite the fact it looks a fair bit different!</p>

<p>What is odd is that I'm a huge Community fan - I'm loving the latest season on Yahoo - and I've no doubt seen the gif before too.</p> -
<p>This is a movie trailer for Point Break....the original Point Break which included cameos from the lead singer of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, the dude from that show The Mentalist, Dr Perry Cox and mention of New Zealand right at the end.</p>

<p>Yep, it's already been remade as the Fast and the Furious which was decent and spawned a mega franchise - if they'd called it something completely different, and had different characters they might have sucked the rest of us in like they did Hooroo. ;)</p> -
It reminds me of this gem from the hacked Sony emails:<br><br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><p>
Spidey thought<br><br>
Hey Amy - just a couple of rando thoughts from 35,000 LAX-JFK:<br><br>- A rising trend we see with Millennials are the really extreme forms of experiential exercise like Tough Mudder (a sort of filthy triathalon), the Color Run and even things like Hot Power Yoga, veganism etc. Millennials will often post “N.B.D.†on their social media after doing it , as in No Big Deal, also known as the “humble bragâ€.....wondering if Spidey could get into that in some way....he’s super athletic, bendy, strong, intense....and it’s all NBD to him, of course.<br><br>
- EDM (electronic dance music) is the defining music for Millennials. Wondering if there’s an EDM angle somewhere with Spidey? His movements are beautiful, would be awesome with a killer DJ behind it<br><br>
- Snapchat just launched a “story†functionality, which is sort of “day in the life of me†told in a series of snapchats that expire after 24 hours. It has a very VIP quality about it, since invitation only. Getting invited into Spidey’s Snapchat circle would be huge, and very buzzworthy and cool.</p></blockquote>

Oh god. That Point Break trailer makes me want to see the movie again, the new one....not so much.<br><br>
Edit. Damn it's not on Netflix.</p></blockquote>

I got it on DVD, wondering when I should introduce TR jnr to it.... -
<p>I know i only live to get radical</p>

If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.<br><br>
Is this nerdy enough for you Nepia?
