Glastonbury
Hugh Fernly-Whatsisname
Heroes
Travelling
Lost
1984
Minutemen

the minutemen are boring?!
i'd understand "wah wah wah shit" or "wah wah wah i dont like them", but they're far from boring
we would never get on
apart from lost and sci fi. fuck em
FUCKING HEROES
What a silly, childish show that is. It is utter utter pigscock.
IT'S JUST THE FUCKING X-MEN. Can't you see that. Aaaaaaargh
1984
is overrated. I get quite bored by Lost and Heroes.
1984 is not overrated
you're an idiot.
1984
= prime
Charlie Brooker?!
Who thinks that is good?
WHO? The size of Melvyn Bragg's knowledge scares the crap outta me.
To answer the original question: films.
Silly talk!
Silly talk!
computer games, tennis, Bright Eyes
hills.
Indie musics
yep
Saul Bellow
Warning: Saul Below

I'm Saul Bellow

Heroes
Lost
Dr Who
Animal Collective

no-one thinks Banksy is good.
you'd be surprised
iForward Russi! in 05
test icicles in 06
stopped paying attention in 07
aubergines
what gives? sloppy and bland surely
:O
more like the nicest vegetable you can get.
A single aubergine is worth ten of you.
Its creamy, soft texture and subtle flavour are unparrallelled in the whole vegetable kingdon
My sister likes the Ting Tings, so do lots of other people,
but then I like maths.
stick to your guns, chap
it'll all add up in the end
Justice
Yes
Shit Daft Punk all the way.
I think people like them because they're French, which seems like a funny reason to like someone.
you're sick
in the head
i did give them a fair chance when i went to see them
they just didn't live up to the hype. soz x
Wimbledon
Robots
'Action' Films involving monsters/zombies

Oh dear....
Oh dear indeed...
Come on Nick!
It's like stage-parents of the sporting world
Nick really needs a decent result today. Just finishing one place behind Kubica would be fine really. Guess it depends if he can improve at all on his qualifying. I can't really see it happening, and the midfield teams are improving... but fingers crossed anyhows.
I will second the action films
and also 'superhero' films or anything based on a comic
Superhero films too, yes
Japanese animation
Reggae
Bill Hicks
^yes to all three.
does Okami count as the first one? it shouldn't do.
who seriously
likes reggae?
like seriously, properly.
I know some people
Actually
like you say, I would question whether they seriously, properly like it, like could tell me about the history of it etc.
i do
indie freaks
Jamaicans
black people
People who worship
Bill Hicks and fucking quote him all the time are inevitably impotent stoners.
Japanese animation
doesn't like you either. In fact, it doesn't like you even more.
adam sandler movies
infact all 'slapstick' comedies,
-Wrestling
-Computer games (apart from the occasional fm/cm)
-People who always talk about how plastered they got last night in a lame attempt to look cool
-Catchphrases. Excluding the dry one-liners favoured by my favourite 80's action heroes.
Actually,
a good percentage of Curb Your Enthusiasm is terrible.
good one
:/
Monies
sexies
ham sandwiches.
ooooooooooo who am i kidding..moar of those pleaaaaaaaaaaase
beat poetry
John Stewart and/or Stephen Colbert
conversations about food
drugs
stuff
from the 80s. especially films that were rubbish
80s was shit
get over it people. Mannequin was a shit film. Short Circuit was a shit film. Human League were a shit band. Spandau Ballet were a shit band. Mowhawks were a shit haircut. etc.
They're remaking Short Circuit.
That's another thing I hate
remakes of films.
Why are they remaking it? Who is in it? If it's Liam Neeson I'm going to die a little.
generally agree with remakes being rubbish, but
I quite liked Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake of 'Psycho', even just as a piece of theory. It got completely panned, though.
No news yet
not due till 2010. It's the original writers doing the new script apparently.
and Robocop
god only knows why, it's perfect as it is.
Futurama
^
Harry Potter
Awful, awful.
How does it feel?
You know, living WITHOUT A SOUL?
haha :D
Fucking superb!
more loathing for Harry Potter right here
If you're a woman
take this as a proposal.
sorry to disappoint, boss
i can't actually think of anything
is this good or bad?
I can't either.
I going on lunch now. I'm sure I'll pick up loads of ammo, wondering through central london
don't shoot anyone!
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Who needs any characters or plot when you can just write gibberish?
He's no Julio Cortazar
Exactly. Nowhere near his level.
*pretends he didn't just look up Julio Cortazar on Wikipedia*
Formula 1
I'd say you're with the majority there
A stupid majority. But a majority all the same.
Flight of the Conchords
Woody Allen Films

Parkinson
dulllllll
I don't think anyone's genuinely though Parky was any good since about 1988
about the time of the 17th interview with Billy Fucking Connolly. Oh yeah:
Billy Connolly.
My parents
and grandparents think the sun shines out of his anus for some reason. Maybe because he's perceived to have 'stood the test of time' or some guff like that.
I heard he can't imagine life without Sky+, though
so you know where to attack
Ha ha
Headlines tomorrow: "Parky Found Dead After Being Denied Sky+ Indefinitely"
ARCTIC MONKEYS.
I got completed lambasted when I expressed my disdain:///

coldplay.
clint eastwood.

I know.
watch it smashed, pass out half way through
and wake up every so often to Michael Andrews' excellent score, thoroughly enjoyable.
yeah that might just work.
the score was the best thing about that film.
