I don't at all wish I'd enjoy a horror movie just for the heck of it and a science fiction horror at that. I sincerely hope that day never comes.

Anyway, I've picked up some more reviews by other people though I must say that I rate this movie very low so it's not worth actually talking about it in length and if some people really did enjoy it then so be it.

Each to their own I guess, but 28 Days Later got an 88% critics rating on rotten tomatoes and scored 7.6/10 on IMDB - the two biggest movie review sites! So an awful lot of people enjoyed.

I think it's a great movie. It cost £5 million (approx $8m) to make, and took $82 million at the box office, largely on word of mouth.

The primate flaw isn't one - there is primate testing in the UK, the law just forbids them from catching wild primates for testing.

Different tastes I guess - I didn't like the Matrix or Inception, but know I'm in a minority.

I thought inception was really overrated and a bit pretentious myself. I do like the first Matrix but the sequels are unbearable .

I also rather agree about "Inception." Lots of flash and dash and confusion, but not really a good tale. I loved the first "Matrix" film, and couldn't be bothered after that.

we can expect more of the following movies in the future:

1. terminator
2. Rambo
3. pirates of the Caribbean
4. highlander
5. zorro
6. sherlock homes


and sly is probably going to do a few more of those stupid "expendables" movies.

Those guys know how to handle a bike. Great manouevre by Morosi to snatch the win.

that was sensational. that took some guts as well.


i used to ride quite a bit off road but now because of time constraints, i ride mostly on the road for fitness.


also a lot of my friends got married and are busy raising families. so nobody has the time anymore.

this is the famous Flume Trail encircling lake Tahoe. I have done this trail a few times. this one is not too difficult but you do have to pay attention at some sections. the drop is about 1000 feet.

also you have to climb straight up for roughly 2 miles just to get to this trail. that seems to be the hardest part for some riders as they are usually not in the best of shape. air tends to be thin in the mountains as well.

I believe, by now, you've made that clear. What is the point of saying it a million more times? Nadal's not going to change his training regime because you don't like it, or not play doubles because you disagree with that. At some point you just have to realize that Rafa and Toni are just going to do what they do, and all the complaining in the world won't change it.

RG is #1 and I don't remember the other three.

Do you even read what people write in response? Or do you just barrel on through with your own opinions and photo-shopped fantasias?

Hi Slasher,

To make sure any img link works - use this: http://goo.gl/

and then use the generated short link for your image.

Thanks a lot, Baron.

Using that, I was able to use the same format as MTF. Where the image is small (so that mobile devices are spared), but it's also a link to the big image.

Next week, I'll build a third format, a mid-level (so that it's a bit bigger than MTF's 600x278).
