Why would I pay for a pheasant when I can get a perfectly good street bird?

"I'd fuck me.. I'd fuck me hard... I'd fuck me so hard"

(Not entirely sure what this thread is for.. you can use it to share some of your favourite fucked up scenes from films maybe? I don't really care)

The Town is not good, though Jeremy Renner is.
Gone Baby Gone is good for a watch, especially cus of Amy Ryan.

Not read it, but saw this on FB.

Los Santos is bigger than RDR, GTA IV and San Andreas combined.

Yeah, if you count interior and exterior locations.
Still, fucking massive.

Over the course of 18 pages (our biggest cover story yet!), we introduce the three main protagonists, discuss the groundbreaking way you use them, and explore the reimagined Los Santos – the biggest open world Rockstar has created to date. The massive feature also divulges and dissects many more aspects of the game fans won't want to miss.

He doesn't need to be likeable, but he needs to have redeeming qualities otherwise the reader has no interest in rooting for them.

Interesting > Likeable

Really excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Best Bond film since From Russia With Love imo.

Liverpool will beat us on Sunday, and their fans will incessantly bring it up in an effort to explain that their season really wasn't all that bad.

Yep, my defence at times just doesn't seem to move or they run like they're in quicksand. Now i understand you may get the odd game where things go wrong, but this is nearly every other match.

Was the same on FM2012, it feels that the better your team plays the less chance they have of winning?

Was it though? Never really experienced that.

Is "Diary of an Emotional Retard" too direct?

I guess the problem with that title is that it could be about a hysterical mentally handicapped person.

You don't really need an essay. Just have to point out that in the film, Elijah Wood is some sort of asskicking badass.
Also, listen to Charlie Hunnam's accent.

I'm not so sure. I think pretty much every sports film, regardless of the sport, boils down to a simple underdog story. That's the nature of competition. Noone wants to watch the big team molest everyone. It can only really work if you manage to make people care about the characters. Then they'll give a fuck when the underdog comes through in the end.

I think the key word in your post is "character".
Watching the underdog means nothing if we don't care about the characters involved. And you can watch a top dog fall from grace if it's an interesting character.

Raging Bull for instance isn't necessarily about an underdog, at least not in the world of boxing. Though one could argue that it's about an underdog in society.

You could focus mainly on Hamsterdam perhaps?

Either way, Panic In Needle Park is a solid view on heroin addiction in 1970s New York.

I need suggestions for films that are about drugs, drug use and/or drug addiction as I am doing a project on how drugs and drug use are depicted in fiction. Any help?

Trainspotting and Fear and Loathing are out of the question as I am reading the books. Only other drug films I can think of are Requiem for a Dream and Spun.

Panic In Needle Park.

(You could also incorporate The Wire in some way, if you hadn't already thought of that)
