    Rather predictably, quite a few in the BPI are resistant to downloads having unfettered access to chart placings as it could potentially render record companies obsolete if every band in the planet could potentially bypass having to release a physical copy.. It's what I've always argued for - bands and artists doing what Mick Hucknall did

     

    there's a James Blunt joke in there somewhere i know there is :lol:!!!

    I haven't, no - is it bad?

     

    well cant make out if they are a real group or just a bunch of punkette fashion models with some kit-off shots.

     

    seems to be no mention of any releases in the article

    Well, that's a bit of a silly statement seeing as how there was a series from the 1950s which came out before the films.... :lol: :lol: Anyway, I thought Dean Cain did pretty well in the 90s show....

     

    So would you turn doen a knighthood or MBE if it was given

     

    was Michael Keaton a weird choice to play Batman when he was given the job in the late 1980s/early 1990s?

     

    he was on Letterman the other week promoting Cars.

     

    from that twitchy performance i would expect there to be lots of shock when he was revealed? then again cant put in to perspective if he was tom cruise mega-success in those days. He is the bloke out of Herbie Fully Loaded of course!!! (ie not the one from Garfield :lol:)

    the lasting image of Glitter will always be of him walking down those steps flanked by guards shouting at the reporters that he'd done 'nothing wrong'.

     

    He's vile - the Vietnamese really should shoot him and get it over with. And while they're at it - they should incarcerate and take the children away from the parents who allowed their kids to be in Glitter's grasp. How could anyone sell their children in this way?

     

    yes we all know he is vile and something should be done to him etc etc.

     

    but the question is why the large amount of coverage? shouldnt they just have stuck him in the corner with the headline peado rocker still in jail without all the large colour photos?

    I'm actually looking forward to watching this, and if someone rebrands this film as Superman 5 I will get mad, because its not, its basically a remake of the actual Superman The Movie, just like Batman Begins with a darker feel to the movie.

     

     

    dont think anyone will rebrand it superman 5. i heard that superman 3 and 4 were $h!te.

    this is what the critics are saying

     

    Several critics seem to agree that Garfield, with Bill Murray once again providing his voice, is a lot funnier than he was in his last movie. "Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is roughly twice as good as that earlier hairball, Garfield, [The Movie]" writes Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel. And Nancy Churnin in the Dallas Morning News agrees: "The sequel, while hardly original, goes for goofier, kinder fun than the successful but often mean-spirited Garfield: The Movie." Most critics, however, are not at all amused. "Kids should see Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties," writes Kyle Smith in the New York Post. "It'll help prepare them for a lifetime of mediocre entertainment ahead." And Evan Henerson in the Los Angeles Daily News calls it, "the celluloid equivalent of a hairball." But Sarah Lindner in the Austin American-Statesman makes the point that what critics say about the movie will have absolutely no effect on what it will do at the box office. "You will see or shun Garfield based not on reviews but on whether your kids want to go. And they probably will. The first Garfield movie brought in $75 million from U.S. box offices in 2004."

     

    (imdb)

    this is what the press thinks of it: (from imdb:)

     

    With The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift going on location to Japan, the movie "delivers all the races and crashes you could possibly desire, and a little more," writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times. Ebert credits director Justin Lin for delivering the "something more," writing that he "takes an established franchise and makes it surprisingly fresh and intriguing." Even in a generally negative review ("flashy and inane as its predecessors") Jason Anderson in the Toronto Globe & Mail allows that the film features "superior vehicular stunts, most of them real rather than tricked out with CGI." (The "drift" in the title refers to the way Japanese racers sometimes hit the emergency brake and accelerator at the same time, causing their vehicles to skid sideways.) Several critics complain that director Lin devotes far more attention to the car races than he does to the plot. As Claudia Puig remarks in USA Today,"Its stultifying plot and wooden acting is likely to make you drift -- off to sleep." But Chris Hewitt in the St. Paul Pioneer Press comments, "The movie is really about energy, freedom and speed. To complain there's no plot or characters in Tokyo Drift would be like complaining a shark lacks feathers." Tom Maurstad in the Dallas Morning News puts it this way: "The story's a joke; the characters barely have one dimension and the dialogue is as clunky as the cars are slick. Most times that would be all you needed to know, but there's one more important detail about the third installment in the F&F franchise: It's a great piece of entertainment. To call it a great film would be to oversell it, but as a fun, fascinating work of kinetic art, a 100-minute visual spectacle, it's a knockout."

    dance is disappearing under a disappointing 'lads' culture that seems to think tits and ass over everything sells.

     

    It doesn't.

     

    have you seen Zarkoff on page 92 of Esquire?

    I certainly hope it's NOT gonna be 'Production Line' horror, but I have faith in Mr Zombie, his first two horror films have genuinely lived up to the name (especially "Devil's Rejects" which reminds me a lot of early Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, Romero, etc in the general mood and tone of the film..). I think that Zombie's "Halloween" remake will be at least as good as Alexandre Aja's re-imagining of "Hills Have Eyes"....

     

    I think that John Carpenter will let Mr Zombie have a free reign...

     

    to be honest think it will be more up to the estate of Moustapha Akkad to see what happens. As its not LGF up in Canada but Dimension, who do seem to churn them out (good ones and the bad ones), at this moment in two minds as they could go for the maximum audience but seing as there has been changes in ownership they might go extreme.

     

    and as for AA, the original (15 rated) supernatural thriller Into The Mirror wasnt that great, so let us hope he can improve on it and make it not a straight remake.

    Agreed there, don't really like either of them to be honest, but Ben Stiller is certainly the least irritating and obnoxious...

     

    For me though, there was no better modern film funnymen than Steve Martin or John Belushi at their peaks.... :thumbup: Such a shame John died and Steve totally sold out..... :(

     

    on the basis on some of his more recent films Will Ferrell seems to be also going down the 'smaltzy ex-genius' route like Steve Martin. just hope Talladega Nights with Sasha Baron Cohen can restore some of the comedy genius of Anchorman

    well if she had her first hit single in 1986 then no doubt its two different newspaper staffing. i doubt it would be the same people 20 years ago editing it as today. so probably they wouldnt do that thought of thing today as the current editiors campaigns are probably different.

     

    there was a Mary-Kate and Ash Olson count down on line so things like that keep on going

    Should be worth getting this one been some great songs the past couple of months.

    The last one was awful.

    Cover's average.

     

    this is the Australian track listing, Now Winter 2006 out next month i think (yep i thought it was weird when i saw it then notice it was from down under :lol: )
