Holly Hunter is a superb shout. Jolie was my favourite for years, she's gone a bit thin, but half a dozen hot meals and she'd be tremendous. She was also very good in Gia and I liked her in Pushing Tin too. Her image scares me a bit Vik, but that's just an aphrodisiac all the knife play and keeping blood in vials. It's freaky, but freaky isn't a bad thing.

Good on him, if people will watch anything, why not make some cash out of them. I just hope he left some spare cash for drink and dames, instead of wasting it...

If you want to watch something good, but with brilliant female performances and a great movie to boot, go out and rent Bound. Gina Gershon hasn't put in a bad performance that I've seen.

How dare you tar me with that brush ***faux outrage***, it's not like the actors I picked are hideous looking chaps It's an interesting point you raise though Dan. The movies are full of beautiful people, so it's hard not to pick lookers as 'favourites' (male or female). FWIW Sharon Stone is superlative in Casino and Monivca Bellucci puts in an very brave performance in a number of films (Malena & Irreversible to quickly name a couple). I also feel the underlying sexism of mainstream Hollywood pictures actually makes it harder to pick women based on strong performances, as they're so often cast as eye candy only, or in the tedious neurotic wife/girlfriend role. With the exception of Sigourney Weaver, which women have had powerful leading roles in multiple movies? This is sad reality of decent budget cinema, because if the Aliens movies taught us anything, it's that men are perfectly happy to enjoy films with strong female roles that don't necessarily involve skin. So many films fail the Bechdel Test, which TBF isn't hugely scientific, but it is indicative. Also, if you ask a lady to sit down and watch a Steve Buscemi or a Colin Farrell movie, you both know which will be better, and you also both know which one they'll watch - secretly they're just like us. Ref: Bechdel Test (Wikipedia) What is now known as the Bechdel test was introduced in Alison Bechdel's comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For. In a 1985 strip titled "The Rule", an unnamed female character says that she only watches a movie if it satisfies the following requirements: It has to have at least two women in it, who talk to each other, about something besides a man.

I plumped for a pioneer avh-x2500bt, with the RGB colour choices I got the buttons and screen to match the OEM orange interior LEDs for the heater/AC unit/dash etc. You can also load up a personalised wallpaper, so you could easily just use a plain black wallpaper, the only element some might feel is chavy is the album artwork - but then that would mean you buy music with chavy covers, so it's time to stop listening to Scooter Works with Bluetooth USB steering wheel buttons etc

Great choice

Soft bags, not suitcases, so they were just jammed in and one on the rear seat FTW. I'm taking less stuff this time too and just buying fresh pants when they run out I loved that route so much, it's defo been a big factor in deciding to go back to the States.

The fruity Germans and the bulletproof cup are high points too.

'Favourite' movies is much easier than 'Best' Movies Ghostbusters The Big Lebowski The Three Amigos Actors John Cusack Christian Bale Christopher Walken Actresses Monica Bellucci Kate Beckinsale Sharon Stone If we could have had All Time Top 5, High Fidelity would have made it and so would Super Troopers.

We got three man's worth of stuff in last time, for two weeks! What the hell did you take along Tom? Top tip on the cell phone, cheers.

Most of the US car stores I've been to over there are a bit poor... but I'm sure there's one or two tuning places about, any on google? Had a quick look. Nothing there really got me close enough to marking them on my route.

33 next week, jeeeze that sounds old. The Zed's my first car purchase though, does that count for extra inches?

Reckon there'll be some decent jap car stores I could maybe pick up a couple of mods from?

Mighty Car Mods FTW!

Very sneaky tip that. I need a minimum of three seats, so I guess I'd get the Mercedes E350 convertible

Yeah, they had a 911 too, but the quote was $15k for three weeks! I really fancied a Challenger this time but the rear seating wasn't going to be much fun for anyone, so fully Camaro'd up.

Whoop whoop, flights booked to sunny Florida and gone and more importantly got the car reserved

I hear on this, you should've seen the monkey's breakfast I made of replacing my brake lights with LED clusters after one of the bolts got stuck, then the upside down boot strut bits, but as above once I got them done I was well pleased. Fitting the reverse camera successfully (in the end!) is my greatest DIY achievement to date!

Looks beautiful, nice job! How come we never see one of these walkthroughs for the Brazilian Waxing you mention in your signature?

Interesting, I'm the other way around, I'd like to see Johnny I've do a Porsche.

A chap at my work is a former TVR designer, the amount of things I've learnt just chatting to him is immense, extremely knowledgable and very friendly too. When I eventually get a garage sorted (ideally with some sort of house attached) I'm hopeful he's going to help out with a track toy project.

Looks well BBK You're not wrong Dave, I had to do an emergency wash today as there was soooo much muck on her - not pleased

Spotted you in St Anne's just after 5 in a rather aggressive looking ginger, looked well Everyone's got BGW these days Anyone on here? Didn't wave as I was passenger in a Scooby STI - pulled like an absolute train. Bit too much drama for an old man like me though, got to keep it smooth, bet it would be fun on a track.

Drugs, People, Cars, Gold, Money, Smokes....That's my guess Has anyone ever tried to 'hi-jack' one or these things? We could make a fortune... You from Somalia or something? I have seen containerships enter port with barbed wire still on the railings to prevent from being boarded. Also some shipping companies hire security teams which are armed. Plus the minor fact that the side of the ship is rather high and to get up there while at sea isn't the easiest thing to do. I laugh in the face of high sides and barbed wire! I'm tunnelling in.
