  14. i had no idea the use of low angle shots to show power derived from this film, i think that was one of the first things I learned in Media and probaly wrote it in countless media and film essays.

    I found this SLIGHTLY FUNNY. the cast is good, some of the jokes werent, some were, which is a shame as I've seen loads of people hype up the writer.
  17. now taking suggestions for March, as usual only 5 films, not directed by Duncan Tucker, and who submitted the last film can't suggest this time, i'm not going to limit the genre this time as I see Transamerica as a drama which is too wide to not accept any. so if you have a film to suggest PM me. also i had a load of response in terms of votes this month and that didnt match up to the amount of people that have actually discussed the film, so i will be making some (likely small) changes that will reward people who contribute regularly more than those who say they will but don't bother.
  18. Dexter is already renewed for another season.
  19. good stuff, i'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms.
  20. so Dandy are you starting UP5 soon? :D

    I still don't understand how Winkleman got that job, it should go to the guy who co-presents.
  22. blink-182 were annouced ages ago mate. i go more 'mad' over the fact i'm seeing them at The o2 in July and already saw them at a better festival in a better slot.
  23. first single. 'Rope'. http://rope.foofighters.com/?606
  24. When my sister went to college she had full EMA and a part time job and still struggled to get there everyday aswell as buy supplies, when the nearest college is about 4 miles away walkng everyday to save on EMA isnt really feasable. Theres many people of this age out there, especially in city areas who don't get the support from their parents, if they don't get EMA they literally wouldnt be able to go to college at all, and let's face it even if you're not doing A Levels if you just leave school after GCSE's your f***ed for life already, i'd say it's vital for most people to go to college, mayve their should be cuts to EMA but it shouldnt be scrapped like it is. as for money as an incentive, I don't think we should have some 'students should stay on in education because they want to' attitude, it's for their own good, but it gets to the point where some just can't afford to, which is part of the reason I am not at university right now, and I know plenty of people who havent gone to uni for the same reason, or taken a gap year to work full time so they can afford it. University would benefit me alot, i've especially realised this recently but it's just not worth the finacial risk anymore, where as a money incentive could make it worth it. However were in a broken down economy the country can't really afford to do this.

    only three episodes left? tbh they clearly wanted this to be some sort of long lasting epic but i doubt it will even last another season if it's getting such low ratings. i do get the feeling they rushed the show quite a bit where as if they took some time to develop the show it might have been alot better.
