Ah but you see CB, unlike some we're not fascists - we take democrat decisions as a group. And as this isn't actually a 'job'. not everyone is around 24/7.

I'm sure some on this board would be rather glad unilateral decisions can't be taken...

Just the sort of reply id expect from a supposed mod who responds like a troll.I will be taking this further.

If you have any queries regarding these issues then James or Helen can be contacted via the e-mail links on their IDs

I'm aware that someone who has spent most of his time here trolling the Bond threads (which was still going on until the beginning of this month), has a signature designed to bait, and recently described an actor as being a scumbag has absolutely no business calling anyone else a troll.

Actually im not trolling the Bond threads at all.I visit them cos im a fan and because i dont like Daniel Craig in the role doesnt make me less so.Its my opinion and im entitled to it.Trolling is when you keep on visiting a thread for a favourite film like The duck returns did ( a film he obviousl hates ) and keeps banging on about it.I comment on a vast variety of topics and my signature is a direct quote from Tarantino in last months Empire.Hardly designed to bait,maybe you think QT is above criticism? How about minding your own business and stop creeping around after other posters comments making derogatory comments just because you disagree with them? Thats what a troll does and you do it all the time.

You constantly visited the boards to complain about the films, despite claiming not to have seen Skyfall you still posted dismissive opinions about it. You were doing exactly the same thing that you complained about with Duck. If he should stay away from a discussion when he obviously hates a film, you should stay away from all Craig discussion, because your input never rises above "he looks like a thug and he's blond!"

I haven't like a Tarantino film in 15 years, and as you well know, what makes it trolling isn't the quote, it's your spin on it "the already long in decline" designed to annoy Tarantino fans with every post you make.

Derailing a review thread to make off topic childish and attention grabbing statements is trolling Rawlinson.

I think Tarantino is in decline.People are entitled to disagree with that statement.Havnt heard any complaints so far though.

I have seen the first two Craig Bond films.I didnt like him in them and have stated my reasons for doing so.I havnt seen Skyfall.Naturally like some pro Craigers i know here, they cant accept criticism of there hero so label anyone who doesnt like him a troll..I also hate the LOTR films but i dont troll the favourite films thread for that series every day because i dont want to ruin it for those who do.

So now in an effort to get the thread back on track after being derailed by the trolls..

Total Recall 2012 sucks.

And thats me done with this thread.

You did troll The Hobbit thread, though. And insult my family the other day.

But seriously reporting MonsterCat to a mod for calling you a fascist gave me the biggest laugh I've had for days. I genuinely hooted out loud. Well done.

Same here. I'm sure he's been called worse, anyway. And here I was thinking he was getting huffy in OP while all the time he was self-destructing here. Hah. Awesome.

Still wouldn't mind watching this, though.

In all fairness I should apologize for posting what was clearly meant to be a joke. I know full well that Cool Breeze is completely lacking a sense of humour, and I should have known that he would react the way he did.

Just to be clear, this isn't an apology to Cool Breeze.

I'm torn between that and calling Elab a troll as the funniest bit of the thread.

Total Recall, haven't seen it, but Colin Farrell seems a good guy. Although I've heard bad things about one of his cousins.

Three stars is fair, three and a half at a push. The whole thing looks amazing, and you get what you paid for, an entertaining popcorn movie.

Probably best not to delve too far into the story, it's a touch convoluted.

Probably one of the most boring films I've seen in a long time. It was filled with cool stuff and some interesting ideas, but never really shifted into top gear.

Although the world of the film was amazing to look at.

This has made a very strong case for smashing its way into my list of worst films ever! Its all well and good people telling you to ignore the original but when half the decent bits of script have been lifted directly from the first one its pretty hard not to judge it against it. Beckinsale might well be the hottest woman on the planet but my god is she terrible at acting! What was Colin Farrell thinking getting involved in the shit! Its just so boring! The only thing that saved this from getting no rating what so ever is the fact that you have some lovely eye candy on show. Sorry I know it sounds shallow but this is just a bad bad film!
