Anyone else see it yesterday???

I went to Chadstone to watch it after work (free screening tickets from work).

All the hype etc - was it overrated?? I think so.

Was OK - but I am glad to didn't pay to see it.

PS. Attempt not to post anything in here that may ruin the movie for people who haven't seen it yet.

I saw it last night at highpoint, it was ok, but not as good as the book (like most adaptations) but still a good story. The mouse eating popcorn and squeaking in the curtains next to us was a bit distracting though :thumbsup:

i still think the movie was good. for those who have read the book, of course it wont be THAT great cos you already know the story. I am sure people liked LOTR and the latest Star Wars movies as majority would never have read the books (me being one of them)

Anyone who hasnt will think its good as they wont have any idea about it. But the book is definitely better as it is more informative.

I feel the movie didnt do the book justice, they took out or changed parts of the plot that didnt improve the movie at all. There were a few one liners thrown in there for good measure, but i managed to be seated next to this chick who had the loudest laugh id ever heard, often laughing when no one else was. A little bit distracting.

Overall i give the movie 2.5 stars (out of five)

there are actually 9 books to the series...well that is what i am lead to believe. Check all the nerd forums. They all knew about the clone wars and stuff before the movies were made. They even have conspiracy theories haha

Who liked the Bourne Identity and Supremacy? Great movies, nothing like the books which were also great.

I liked both of those, got em on DVD but i didnt know they were based on books. Might have to go find them and give them a read.

Reading the Da Vinci Code later will probably be better as youll be saving the best for last. You wont be watching it picking the shite out of it for all the differences.

Tom Hanks should have started with Batchelor Party and ended with Big.

But... the book was enjoyable and the movie looks like a good thriller - just can't believe all the hoo-hah over it. People need to pull their heads out of their asses and remember it's not real.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By Nydt · Posted

      Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
