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.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
