Alright?
Watch any good films recently?

Alt: Following on from Battered's question, are you a better chef/cook that your OH?

AltAlt: I'm being sent on a 'social media' training course in a couple of weeks, any tips for not falling asleep?

the last film I watched was Avengers Assemble.
It was utter shit.

That sounds like it's a kid's film

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:15, Reply)

It is.
But it has Scarlett Johansson for the dads.

I'd like to give her one and no mistake!

I was ill recently so I watched a load of shit on Netflix
I watched Stand Up Guys which was really good. Goon, Bounty Killers and The Perfect Host were fun and a film called Paranoia with Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford was one of the most excruciatingly bad films I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of films. Harrison Ford was so lethargic and unengaging it was like he was sleeping through the whole film and his performance was being powered by a potato and a few wires.

Alt: It's debatable but I'd say my potato mashing skillz put me over the top. No matter how many times I tell her she's shit at it and there are a fuckton of lumps in it she never tries to improve her method.

Altalt: Potato and wires.

I don't watch films very often, so my answer to this hasn't changed since the last thread about it a couple of weeks ago
Alt: Yes I am.
Altalt: Get a good night's sleep beforehand, don't drink too much, ensure you eat a good breakfast and pay attention, you might learn something.

Last film I watched was Gravity last night
Booooooooooring

Alt. I cook. My wife does not cook. I am glad as I don't want to die. When I came out of hospital she attempted to serve me pork chops cooked bleu because that how I like my steak.

AltAlt. Kill yourself
( Peej, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:13, Reply)

so basically, your wife is trying to kill you

( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:49, Reply)

Alright.
That slavery film: 9
The Book Thief: 7
Saving Mr Bank: 7
Gravity: Zero, although I was told afterwards it was better in 3D. Makes sense because it was one dimensional.

Cooking, I do about 60% and maybe have a slight edge.

Dunno why that has a course soz.

I watched World War Z the other day
It was "ok"

the book's good
I heard the film's a total mess though.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:50, Reply)

Its OK to watch with the quick zombies, etc
but there are some really silly bits.

I've been watching the "Everything Wrong With ...." clips on youtube. Very good indeed
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:51, Reply)

there aren't any quick zombies in the book

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:52, Reply)

It's not the book though. It's a film.
Two different things, you see. Different, you know. Not the same.

So where did the zombies come from?

St Albans

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:59, Reply)

Somewhere foreign. It was a virus or some implausible disease.
Found the cure in Wales. I knew the film was nearly over and they were going to beat the zombies because Brad Pitt wouldn't be seen dead in Wales.

i know this because my friend's husband did the CGI for that movie. you should see the computers in his office, ridiculous. i wouldn't have a clue what 0.1% of them do.

i went to a talk by the walking wounded south pole soldiers and prince harry last night, absolutely amazing.

altalt: cut a small hole in the pocket of your trousers. every time you think you're falling asleep, grab a handful of your tufty pubes and yank.

my dad's thinking of buying a classic saab, which has led me to looking up his old cars on the dvla to see if they still exist. my amazing old beetle is still alive! but someone has painted it PURPLE.

Do they not have cars in the North then?

it was a charity trek
they were all blinded or amputees or some other life changing injury. the girl said that they called her "captain papercut" because she was "only a single below the knee amp".

I went to that a few weeks ago.
I had a chat with a woman who did it. Nice lady.

i was really impressed at how amazing they all were at the public speaking too
on top of all the physical stuff, they were confident and hilarious, which is hard to do, esp in front of 600 people. it was genuinely inspiring, however cheesy that sounds

Yeah.
They came and spoke to 50 of us so mine was better.

I watched 'House of the devil' last night.
Was good. A slow burner horror. Quite atmospeheric. Set in the 80's but a few years old.
Im a great cook. Only really have time on a weekens but still like to do fresh through the week but with frozen veg.

Altalt. They're going to teach you Facebook and Twitter?

Think it's more along the lines of how to use them to advertise the business

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:53, Reply)

It's all bullshit anyway, you can't promote a business well via social media

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:54, Reply)

it's about engagement rather than promotion per se

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 3 Apr 2014, 9:56, Reply)

I hate companies that pretend to 'engage' with their customers.

Watched The Selfish Giant at the weekend.

Also watched the Evil Dead remake. I say "watched" I mean "turned off after about 20 minutes because it was shit".
