Diabetes since I was 5. I don't trust myself behind the wheel - a hypo whilst driving could end up with me killing someone. :(

How do you get to be forty and can't drive?

Far too many people get to all ages and can't drive. Sadly a lot of them still have licenses.  :-\

Watched an excellent film last night called Buried about a truck driver working in Iraq who wakes up buried in a coffin after his convoy is ambushed by insurgents. Definitely worth a download, great entertainment. :)

Am now watching a film called Wilderness Survival For Girls, 5 minutes in and two pairs of tits already lol. :P

Ford's motion controls aren't up to Nintendo's standards yet.

Just watched a film called The Divide. Awesome!!!

About people trapped in an apartment basement in New York after the bombs have dropped. Great film. ;D

I can see plenty of people carrying on their subscriptions after their 30 days free trial is over.

I take it you wont then???

Case in point - people who pirate won't pay to watch a film or use a subscription service if they dont have too.

Nope, although I do think that the viewing suggestions it gives you based on what you've been watching is pretty cool, and if my telly wasn't in my bedroom I can see being able to watch the films on the GamePad being a cool feature. There just isn't the content available on the UK version to make it worthwhile, and I can't be arsed to go through spoofing a US DNS to get the US version lol ;D :P ;D

YOu are confusing downloading with Piracy and as I have pointed out many times, downloaders fall into two broad categories, those who still buy and buy more as a result of downloading and those who wouldn't buy even if they didn't download.

As I'm one of those who download, I'll be going to see Jack Reacher, as I went to see the Hobbit. I also just placed an order for over £200 with Play.com to add to my already massive collection. Would have bought some more in HMV at Fulham Broadway too in the 5 Blu-rays for £30 sale they had on but couldn't remember what I had and didn't have.

Yep, got a list on my phone but mine's woefully out of date too. So was next to useless.

Have been on a thriller hype the past few days.

Disturbia - Decent film that focuses more on suspense and tension rather than gore. Within the first 10 minutes I thought it must be either a homage to or a rip-off of Hitchcock's classic 'Rear Window'. Shia LaBouef (the guy from Transformers) and Sarah Roemer (bird from The Event) put in good performances. Worth a watch - 7/10

Unthinkable - Surprised this didn't get more attention when it was released. Hadn't heard of it before I watched it. Great watch though, certainly thought-provoking. Samuel L. Jackson plays an interrogator who has to extract the location of three bombs placed around the US from a terrorist. 8/10

Changing Lanes - I'll usually watch anything with Samuel L. Jackson in, as he has the ability to make even the worst films watchable (and God knows he's starred in enough of them!) This film just bored me though. Started off well but the story was uninteresting and didn't seem to go anywhere. More an exploration of the two main characters that I never really cared about. 4/10

I watched Unthinkable the other week, it was excellent ;D

Am watching Swim Fan at the mo, just 10 minutes in and I'm surprised this bloke's Bunny Boiler Alarm isn't blaring like mental lol :o

Watched Taken 2 this morning. Not as good as the first one and just more of the same really. Just cashing in. It was okay and some reasonable action, if somewhat drawn out in a lot of places where Neeson could have finished an opponent three times over before actually doing so. Maybe 6.5 out of 10. I hope they don't make a third one.

Seems a lot of the blu-rays in the 5 for £30 in HMV are available from Play.com in their 2 for £12 sale.

I took a jar full of change to ASDA last night and gave their machine that converts it to cash vouchers a complete spaz, but when it got sorted and I had my voucher for £112.32 (all from 1, 2 and 5 pence pieces) I spent it on a few more films and box sets. Could have got some of them cheaper from play but had to spend the money on something.
