I watched Shutter Island last night. I've been looking forward to seeing this, as I quite liked the book despite some flaws, and was curious to see what Scorsese would do with it. Turns out it's probably the most faithful adaptation of a book I have ever seen - apart from a tiny bit of...

^^I wouldn't want to be with the humourless bunch in that video regardless :P. I've caught up with the YT version of the vid. [This is spoilerish, but only mildly]. I actually like it! The crew being in wraith outfits is amusing, it looks like fun going out and around the trees (the...

How rubbish was that? Almost the world's most boring race. I watch F1 to see the world's top drivers push themselves to the limit, not drive like grannies. Bad bad decision to take away the refuelling, it's changed from a sprint to a marathon now, and marathons are boring to watch.

Vettel's the man! Surprised the Ferrari's weren't closer to him, & McLarens struggled. This Bahrain circuit is completely soulless though - probably more camels watching than spectators!

^Join in after the first race Vadge, still 18 races left & the scoring system is generous :). It's only Q1 but looks tight as hell at the front! Oh, & if FIA reckon I'm going to pay £20 for the official iPhone app they can cow off!

Prost is a race steward? That could be interesting!

^Weird, the teams have indeed frozen yet it still says Sat 8am on the main page! Liking your team name though Marc :P.

^Not had a good look at the cars yet, can't see in work :(. It's always confusing at the start though!

If I'm winning, yes :wink:. Getting your excuses in early I see :P. I think it's going to be a very interesting start to the season! Although HAVING IT START ON MOTHER'S DAY is not bloody helpful! :?

I thought McLaren's "rear wing adjusted by driver's knee" has been cleared already? It's also genius! :D Same thought to you Neal - are you happy choosing the 45m option but being unable to change drivers? I can't see yours yet, (although I can hazard a guess at one of them :P), but might be...

^They're all fairly similar Novas - e.g. the Autosport one is 6 drivers and a team, and costs £10 to enter! It might be more better if you choose the other option - 40m and changeable drivers, rather than 45m and no changes. At least then it gives you something to play with during the season :).

It's quiet in here, considering it's all about to kick off! It's a bit late, but I just had an idea: we should do a CF Fantasy F1 League, would add an extra little frisson to the season :P. I've set one up in here: http://www.fantasyracers.com/ If you want to join in, go and register a...

I've loved Lost, but I have to say this final series isn't doing it for me yet. The only part I like so far is the "successful flight" thread, that's fun. Oh and the Locke bit. The stuff with the temple is extremely contrived, even by Lost standards! "How can we fill this last series then...

What I'm liking about these improvements is that they're enhancing the illusion that you're inside part of a citadel - should be fantastically atmospheric when it's finished. Plus of course, we have no idea what they've done to the main drop! If the rest is anything to go by, there should be...

For the record, Windows 7 isn't a flop:- "January 29, 2010, 1:03 PM EST Microsoft ended a string of disappointing quarterly financial results yesterday, as it announced the numbers for its second quarter of fiscal 2010, which ended on December 31 2009. Fuelled by a strong demand for Windows...

^That looks so much like the McLaren - wonder if they've changed their colour scheme?

^Crichton was always pretty cinematic. Anyone who's seen the film of Congo though probably wanted to rip their eyes out. The ONLY non-despicable thing in that film is Tim Curry <3.

^51st State has that great line when they take Sam Jackson to the chippy - "What the **** have you done to this fish?" :lol: Shall have to disagree on this one. It's a very high quality film, essentially an apocalyptic road movie, that deliberately shows what the reality of an apocalypse would...

Two films from me over the hols, I'll cover the biggie first. Avatar. The expectation on this was immense, and incredibly, from the technical and visceral angles, it actually delivers! The technical achievements are staggering. Although the realisation of the aliens varies from shot to...

^That definitely appears to be the concensus from almost everyone - not the best film ever but an awesome experience! I'm juicing to see it next week :). BTW, with regards to the IMAX discussion earlier, some of the new IMAX screens are much smaller than the originals - however the small ones...
