I mean, Jeeze: a budget of gajillions, and they're still cr@p, compared to the $9.99 Antboy!

What else are they cr@p compared to?

Well, um, just about everything that doesn't come out of hollywood...

A lot of Hollywood stuff is story free junk, or recycled CGI...
I'm pretty impressed with the Australian film industry - they are making some good movies.
Last Cab to Darwin (2015) - IMDb[^] and The Dressmaker (2015) - IMDb[^] are like nothing Hollywood has produced for decades. Well worth watching!

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'll have to give 'em a go (might take a while, though, because I have to order them with Chinese subtitles)

I either have to buy them here, then add subtitles from the Internet, or wait a month or so for delivery from China/Malaysia.

Netflix and the like are not an option Frown | :(

If he wants to watch them twice, wouldn't he need subtitles in double-Dutch? Smile | :)

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I started watching The Almighty Johnsons and was disappointed it ended too quickly. Now I'm watching Humans after getting into Spooks.

What will you be if computers weren't in existence?

It is probably a tough question for some, especially since most of us across the globe, both young and old heavily rely on computers and the internet. Today, life would be virtually impossible without it especially to developers like us. To answer the question, I would be a carpenter, and a farmer then I would create a machine from wood that will compile codes made out of paper that will produce kernels of corn. Laugh | :laugh:

Just kidding on that part. Seriously I would definitely be an artist, because being an artist is having the freedom to express your personality through art.

Only one?

I can build lots of houses, so I'd be a better carpenter and get all the contracts.

Sorry, but if your kids gotta starve, they gotta starve.

Back to analog.

Or on a street corner with a guitar and a cup.

Analog I've done.
The homeless folk singer I'd try.

I saw a man drop a five pound note into a busker's cap. As he did it he said "Here, go and get some singing lessons."
