Castaway was good..I like Tom Hanks, good in da vinci code as well.....good actor.

However the girl taking the role of Sophie can't act...she's hot but can't act....

teabing reminds me of Magneto

at the begining of the show, they tried to stick as much as possible to the book. However I feel that midway through the movie they realised that they ran out of time....the story book meant to have five parties involved...Opus Dei, Vatican, Robert Langdon, Sir teabing and priory of Sion...

however the movie over simplify the enemies merging Opus Dei and Vatican...taking them as 'shadows of the vatican'

furthermore, in the story book, the character robert langdon was developed in prequel Angels and Demons..the movies does not explain much of Langdon's origin...why sonier would have chosen him out of so many ppl....

prolly 2 out of 5 star? felt as though I would fall asleep in the movies...wondering how long the movies has got to go on....esp after teabing died

Teabing DIED!!??

Maybe you should watch it again, then reread the book :no:

I enjoyed it for what it was after enjoying the book and believe anything is possible given factual distorsion over time.

Hell in a hundred years time the GTR RB26DETT will be revered as the 20th centuries greatest automobile.

Yeah riiiiiight. I love it, but dont wear blinkers.

I also believe religion of no fixed denomination is mankinds greatest scourge and the best excuse to commit attrocities under any Dieteis name for the last 3 thousand years.

I went to see this yesterday just to see what all the hoo-ha was about.

The experience as a whole was entirely crappy.

The audio was so soft that you had to really concentrate on what was being said, and most of the time I couldn't distinguish what was being said if I couldn't see the persons lips moving during the dialogue.

The only bits that I was sure I actually "got" were the bits that were subtitled.

(..and no, there's nothing wrong with my hearing)

There was also an old couple across the aisle who had to keep trying to explain the plot to each other, and their banter totally drowned out the minimal audio, however, a quick "shut the f**k up!" put an end to this.

There were people smoking in the cinema, I don't understand why anyone would go to a cinema if they can't go 15 minutes without a smoke... seriously, if you have to smoke, leave the cinema, or wait for it to come out on DVD!

..and don't even let me get started on the people who can't go 3 minutes without playing with their mobile phones. wankers. :no:

Around 20 people (out of about 50) got up and left within the first hour and didn't return.

Totally crappy.

Wait for it to come out on DVD.

Smoking was banned in Vic cinemas ages ago??

Actually thinking about it, I probably would not have thought much of the movie either, had I not already read the book and enjoyed it so much.

I think Ron Howard had his work cut out to relay the same experience as reading the book did.

If you have not read the book I suggest you do so having seen the movie and the oportunity to recall the actual visuals while reading will make it outstanding.

I think the movie attendance will be trading on the enjoyment most people got from reading a book that is damn hard to put down once you start.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...

      Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block.

      Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By isf · Posted

      The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol

      Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
