Damn your editing, you are a woman and a homosexual!
Mwhahahaha

Is that a dildo?
Quote: Harridan @ August 22 2012, 11:46 PM BSTUgh. I have seen so many episodes of Sex and the City (had to in a girls' boarding house) - what a horrible bunch of women. I remember one episode where Sarah Jessica Parker was invited to a baby's birthday party and flipped her lid when asked to remove her shoes in someone else's house "This is an outfit!" and then someone nicked her shoes and she made the parent of the baby pay $600 for a new pair. $600 shoes? You deserve to be battered to death with those shoes, you horrible excuse for a human being.
ahem.
The faux realism of these shows is just so depressing.
It's like Grange Hill and Molly Ringwald never happened.
Just say no.

And yes I'm serious.
Watching that is one weird experience! I was completely unaware of the production nightmare of that film when I sat down to watch it and I just didn't know what the hell was going on! Started well, then Orson Welles is doing magic tricks, then some stuff on a foggy sound stage and the story changes halfway through the film and it's just mad!

Can't imagine David Niven doing parkour.
Die Hard 4 pretty much sums up what happened to the action thriller when not given a Bourne type injection of hyper-realism. Besides, you're naming films not from the 2000s, which was the main thrust of the debate, otherwise, I'm going to go on about Grosse Point Blank and other old man stuff I like.
remember living in a southlondon house share and 3 of the girls would always watch this crap. And nod sagely, never agree but just absorb the wisdom.
And its like you're living in Peckham in a house share with hippies and nere dowells. What the f**k has the life of 3 self absorbed harpies with too much money got to do with you?

Diehard 4 was beyond awful.
1-3 weren't.
I blame Shia LaBeouf (for most things).
I really want to watch a David Niven film now. I miss men with moustaches.
Wait, I've got a bona fide winner for a decent action thriller in the 2000s -
Collateral - even Tom Cruise, etc.

That was such a boring film.
Tom Cruise maybe a midget weirdo.
But he's pretty freaking fantastic in the right role. He's also aces in Minority Report.

The sequel CHOLESTEROL!!!! was even worse.

Man On Fire
Bridget Jones has plenty of humour. But it's not a thriller, so kind of beside the point!

I'll vote for that one.
