Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[Y 2 Jake]

It drags anyway. I made the Redux mistake. I blame the packaging.

 

[Uncle Sam]

The following movies are shit:
Gangs of New York
The Departed
...

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I liked them both, but The Departed isn't as good as Yanks seem to think it is.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It's probably because it's in style to be fake Irish gangsters these day. Or just fake Irish people.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

If any of those people had been to Ireland they wouldn't try to be so clever.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I bought a John Wayne box set, I think I have a problem.

 

[Uncle Sam]

You do.

Avatar follows a paraplegic war veteran named Jake, who is summoned to a planet inhabited by a primitive alien race, in order to help exploit the planet’s resources. Humans are able to create Avatars, genetically engineered copies of the aliens, that they are able to control. Jake unexceptionally falls in love with one of the alien creatures.

The more I read about that film, the more I think it'll be shit. People will think it's great, but it won't be. It won't even be like Titanic, where the fangirls even knew it was shit if they were totally honest with themselves.

Edit: Jake! That's your name, dude.

I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt, definately. Mainly because it's Cameron, and thus far the man has yet to make a film that wasn't at the very least extremely entertaining. His weakest films are probably True Lies and Titanic, but those two films are still very entertaining as cheap popcorn-fare. Titanic is definately overrated, but it's not a bad film by any means.

 

[Milkyway!]

Edit: Jake! That's your name, dude.

You noticed that, all on your own Sam?

 

[Uncle Sam]

No, I just wanted to make a Big Lebowski reference. Get out.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I'll watch that film in 2D and nothing less.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Know what I realised is a truly awesome film? Starship Troopers.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

yes. we watched it at work a couple weeks ago.


you see boobs and everything.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Yeah, great films. Doubt Americans get it. They didn't when it came out.

I've got two UFC Unleashed questions for you. What happens if I finish the career mode? and that's it. So one question really.

 

[Uncle Sam]

No idea. Apparently, you can go to training camps and learn new moves. I haven't figured out how. My fighter doesn't know any good moves. I beat the living piss out of Lyota Machida for the Light Heavyweight Title and now I've got to defend this fucking thing? Piss off.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Yeah, I defended my LH title about five times before I got bored. The guy doesn't age so I didn't know when he was going to retire.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I made my guy 18, presuming it'd mean he'd last longer. Apparently, he's invulnerable to time.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I made my guy black, with blonde hair and lots of tattoos. I called him Jake.

 

[Sparky]

Ever seen the movie called the last Castle?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Sam hasn't, I have, I say it's shit.

 

[Uncle Sam]

It's not that one with Martin Lawrence, is it? Because he's not funny.

 

[Sparky]

Nah, Martin Lawrence isn't on it. Its about this guy that goes to a Military Jail and takes it over. I think. haven't watched it in about three years.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Has it got James Gandolfini in it?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Has it got James Gandolfini in it?

This kid asks a good question.

 

[Uncle Sam]

This kid asks a good question.

As does this kid.
