going to the cinema tonight.....

its between sherlock holmes or it's complicated!

what would you choose?
sherlock holmes is decent


i want to see it but the girls love chick flicks... is there any love stories in it, apart from bromance between downey and law... have to try and persuade them...
Romance? No.
I look down my nose at you.

There is a mini romance between RDJr and Rachel McAdam... Saw it there today, thought it was a decent show, kept me interested the whole time. Mark Strong is great in whatever he does.

Googled COD: Vietnam there and found a couple interesting articles, first one says that the Vietnam game will draw influence from Apocalypse Now, Platoon and Full Metal Jacket. That is wanktastic, I love those films.

http://news.spong.com/article/20137/Call-of-Duty-7-Takes-Influence-from-Apocalypse-Now

QuoteNew rumours have surfaced about the (allegedly) Vietnam-based Call of Duty 7.

Word doing the rounds is that CoD: Vietnam will be heavily story-based, homing in on the stories of individual soldiers: basically then, lifting the idea of Michael's Herr's Dispatches; and why not, Francis Ford Coppola did.

The rumours go back to a story that's actually over a week old on Abstract360, which attributes that little factoid to "reliable sources" belonging to PlanetXbox360, though the story doesn't actually appear to be up on that site.

Abstract360, apparently jumping to a source of its own, goes on "According to our source, similar to how the original CoD titles modeled themselves after the direction and pacing of movies such as Saving Private Ryan, CoD: Vietnam will borrow from notable war films such as Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket."

Of course, word's been floating around that the next CoD game will be set in Vietnam for a while now, so all of the above sounds perfectly plausible. Given the vagueness of the source, however, we'd just recommend going and pinching a bit of salt off the road to take with it. Actually, don't. We need that salt where it is.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology/2010/01/07/call-of-duty-next-stop-vietnam-plus-infinity-ward-not-developing-modern-warfare-3-115875-21950004/

QuoteCall of Duty's rumour mill has suddenly kicked into life with two titbits about the future of the guns, guts and glory franchise. There's talk of a Vietnam War based Call Of Duty due this year and rumours that Infinity Ward won't develop Modern Warfare 3.

Modern Warfare 2 was an entertainment juggernaut, creating controversy and massive sales but VG247 is claiming that developer Infinity Ward has moved onto "something completely new". It claims a source recruits games developers.

Infinity Ward has made no statements about its next project is. Modern Warfare 2 DLC packs were announced yesterday for release this spring, initially as Xbox 360 exclusives.

If Infinity Ward does drop its association with Modern Warfare, there are strong indications that Sledgehammer Studios, a San Francisco based developer, could pick up the baton. It recently advertised for a multiplayer designer with experience of working on console and PC based shooters.

Meanwhile gaming sites are a quiver with rumours that the next instalment of the main Call of Duty series, developed by Treyarch, will be Call of Duty: Vietnam. It's suggested that the story will focus on the story of individual members of an American platoon during the Vietnam War.

It's thought that Call Of Duty: Vietnam will take its inspiration from war movies like Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. Last month the developer put up a job ad seeking a Call of Duty level designer able to use historical research while Activision explored licensing a soundtrack of Vietnam war era rock'n'roll last year.

I loved WAW, thought the Russian missions in particular were brilliant. The Modern Warfare games are good as well, but I just love old war settings, not too sure about Vietnam though, I love killing Nazis.
yeah, the sniper one where you crawl around the dead bodies is excellent
I think it's the second mission where you're walking down the river and get ambushed, the atmosphere created and the graphics are unreal.

I actually thought it was quite boring, there was nothing in the game that hadn't been done before. Online was no where near as good as modern warfare either, I always thought the maps were too big (one of my criticisms of some of the MW2 maps) and the tanks were pointless.

The best map in MW2 is Rust, nowhere to hide. I hate playing in the huge maps, too many hididng places and not enough action.

Sounds good. I will put it in the queue after Deadwood. Started watching Arrested Development last night, the first two episodes, very funny. Teen Wolf 2 fella is very funny, as is the magician Gob.

I ordered one of each variety, so that is 5 x 144 = 720 condoms.

Would take me about eight life times to use those up.
