Can anyone find a good torrent for Role Models...not a screener?

I have only seen cams of Role Models,
at a push I'd watch a screener.

Revolutionary Road... boring drivel.

Very much the same as American Beauty only the couple are having a mid life crisis at 30... I don't like my life I want to change it. Oh I can't? That sucks too oh well then. Fcuk me I've never been so bored iin my life with a film that rumbled on with nothing ever really happening and no storyline either. NOTHING OF NOTE HAPPENS.

Yes I can appreciate it's a couple going through a hard time with difficult issues but it's nothing you wouldn't see on a storyline in Eastenders (With much better acting I will give you that).

If you didn't like American Beauty you will not like this. Not my cup of tea at all.

I got up and left seven pounds after about seven minutes, did I miss something? It had the worst possible start to a movie for me with mention of suicide and judgemntalism and an IRS agent playing God. I did not want to know any more about it.

Watched Gran Torino tonight- didnt live up to expectation, i thought it was very predictable although Eastwood (yet again) delivers.

I fast forwarded, it didnt.

I tried 7 pounds this evening for about the fifth time, give up after 40 minutes. Put on Criminal minds.

Went to 7 pounds at the wekend... awful. A load of unconvincing sentimental slush. After a while was hoping Will Smith would get shot in a drive-by shooting. Had to stay to the end as the foxy lady was with me. In the words of the late great Eric Morcambe, 'Rubbish!' $:-\$

Saw it tonight. Couldn't agree more. Fell asleep halfway through for about 20 minutes and apparently missed absolutely nothing.

Man i was looking forward to that ... think i will give it a miss now
which of the films now would you say is a must see?

screenexile · January 22, 2009, 12:40:18 AM

I'd say Slumdog Millionaire, Role Models and Yes Man are the three best I've seen recently although there is a lot of opposition to Slumdog.

Also a lot on here are touting Revolutionary Road and the Wrestler but they weren't my cup of tea. I'd say if you didn't like American Beauty you wont much care for those 2.

Definance

leenie · January 22, 2009, 12:45:32 AM

if yes man is anything like liar liar that no chance i'd watch that

deffo going to watch slumdog

but i love american beauty..... so think i will watch revolutionary rd!

screenexile · January 22, 2009, 12:47:49 AM

Sorry yeah Frost Nixon was good I enjoyed that. Hoping to watch Che and Gran Torino in the near future.

Yes man isn't like liar liar it's a bit more serious but very good I thought. Based on a book by Danny Wallace where he tried an experiment of saying yes where he wouldn't have before for 6 months and seeing where it led him.
