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.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
