Quinn's weapons

[deleted]

aww poor little James isn't the centre of attention, boo hoo.
Your parents must just leave you in front of the computer screen rather than have you waffling utter crap at them.
James/Bridget:"Mom, dad is abusing me"
Mom:"what?"
James/Bridget:"well he's the worst abuse ever and as my grandad he's just f88king stupid"
Mom points at computer:"look at the pretty lights, ooo, pretty lights"
James/Bridget:"oooooooooooooooo"

ok, first of all if anyone has a problem with british people they can go *beep* a sword, next...bridget, you say your a bloke, why the *beep* would you call yourself bridget...you over compensting you homosexual *beep* this is totally of the topic of the film, butyou keep on repeating the same old *beep* if your mum saw the crap you were posting on here she would send you to bed at 7 as opposed to 8, grow up *beep*

Yes, you're a perfectly nice person when you're talking about the subject of Spiderman and comic books. Why both tarnish that by even annoying yourself with films you didn't enjoy?

[deleted]

Then ignore it. I don't go talking about sh*t all the time because I don't like the smell.

[deleted]

I 'watched' Deathwatch. So did you. I just liked it and thought it was better than other people made it out to be, especially for a first time film. Big deal - people have different tastes and preferences. And did you see Spiderman on TV yesterday?

[deleted]

It was in Britain - you know, that other country on Earth except for America.

[deleted]

I thought you were meant to be British. Can't you pick up British TV in America anyway?

[deleted]

OK, we can do the other way round. But then I guess the demand for British TV isn't too huge in the states.

bridget your so immature , grow some and go away, if you don't like that film thats fine, but don't spam your meanlingless BS here.

[deleted]

OK. I've just read the whole of this thread and I must say, when will you people realise that this Bridget99 person is impossible to reason with? All I see is a Bridget99 troll post followed by a "shut up" post then another troll post... it just goes on and on. Don't you understand you aren't getting anywhere.

I know it's annoying but just IGNORE it! You are not going to win! Every post you put up against this person just fuels him/her more.

Right anyway, the revolver bayonet that Quinn uses is named the Pritchard if I'm not mistaken. Also, trench clubs were is widespread use by all soldiers, both crudely fashioned, like Quinns, or officially issued. Rifles with bayonets were awful weapons for close combat in trenches, being so long, heavy and unweildy so knifes, clubs and even entrenching tools with sharpened edges were used instead.

I may be a tiny chimney-sweep but I've got an enormous brush.

[deleted]

Ive just read the whole of this thread as well,unbelievable isnt it,the trolling has been going on for about a month.I really liked this film and thought id come on here,but i couldnt believe what i was seeing,personally i would just press ignore user in that way you cant see the posts,its the only way to deal with this sort of thing.

I liked this film too. And I should add that before whoever this disgruntled troll is before he/she/it made Bridget99 he/she/it had an account called James01, he trolled for two years before deletion.

yeah i think this troll is just a reject that wasn't allowed in the cast.

[deleted]

[deleted]

[deleted]

He was motivated. And you asked for a picture of James01:

Oh, how nihilistic of you, Bridget.

The film is definately worth a look,and you can pick up a copy on ebay really cheap,i only paid about £1.50 for my copy,thats why i bought it,you cant go wrong at that price,i was surprised it was a better film than i thought.And its worth watching from a world war 1 perspective as the trenches are spot on in the way they are portrayed,rain,mud,decaying bodies,just an awful way these poor men were supposed to live.But be warned-avoid if you are scared of rats because there are literally thousands of them in this film.

Yeah, it is worth watching. Deathwatch is the only horror film that has been able to make me cringe, the crucifixion scene is just not nice.

[deleted]

I hate the bit when Jamie Bell lifts up the blanket off the poor soldier who is lieing down ill and you see what the rats have been up to,thats the part of the film that sticks in my mind.

That didn't bother me too much because I come from a farm where there were quite a few rats and I sort of expected that scene to happen. I can imagine that it was quite a common occurrence in the trenches though.

[deleted]

Very histrionic. Anyway, what type of food do you eat?

Apparently the rats never went hungry,they got fat on the corpses,the film depicts this very well.

[deleted]

Well, it just goes to show that war is more horrible than people realize. Overall, the film has a very pacifistic theme to it.

I think it was very underatted,do you think they were already dead in the beginning,and the deciding factor was should they go to heaven or hell.

[deleted]

Okay Bridget,what is the real problem with you and this film,has it offended you in some way,have you got a personal grudge towards one of the cast members,were you sacked,dumped,not paid what?if its because you dont like the film then forget about it,pretend it doesnt exist,no matter how much you go on about it,its not going to stop people talking about it.My husband hates the Sound of Music,it makes him cringe,he refers to them as the Von-Crap family,so the simple solution is that he doesnt watch it,he doesnt go on the message boards,seeking out posters who love it,he just thinks their sad and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[deleted]

'If this movie is 'very' underatted, why was it voted 5.7/10.0 by IMDb users?'

Erm, you seem to have missed the concept of 'UNDERrating' something. And I'm not sure what 'underratting' is but I'm guessing it has something to do with attacking rats from beneath. And the Sound Of Music is crap, but why does that make ArmyGirl's husband a 'whatever-you-said'? You have the same opinion about this film but for some reason you feel the need to tell everyone who doesn't care, which makes you worse.

[deleted]

No, it's not: AI

[deleted]

So? I still dislike it.

We seem to be the only two left on this thread,apart from one very dubious other person.I get it, the thread has claimed us as its next victims we are going further and further down somewhere,all the other posters at the top of the thread have been saved,we are the only two left.Id say forget about Quinns weapons lets just look out for the red man with horns whos got a big fork.

[deleted]

[deleted]

The devil has got me,and its very hot down here.

Hello anyone up there or out there if you have read this thread and are still sane enough to carry on,well im posting to myself now which says it all. In the film Quinn scalps a soldier in the trench,was there any known cases of this really happening in WW1 or was this scene just added to make him look more barbaric,i didnt think it was believable but then you never know.

No, that did happen. Not as much in WW1 as it would've in other wars but, yes, it did happen. If you watch the Jamie Bell, Laurence Fox, Michael Bassett commentary, which in some places is actually more entertaining than the film itself, you'll find out that one man used to collect the faces of German officers. Sounds like a lovely guy.

[deleted]

How sick,it just shows you what war can do to people,i dont think anyone came out of that war normal,my grandfather had really bad shellshock,he died in 1935 after having a fall down the stairs,he was still having bad fits 17 years after the war had finished,apparently this was common.

[deleted]

if there is a God,please make bridget99 disappear.

[deleted]

Yawn ,Yawn, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bridget99 is THE cure for insomnia!

I think she has turned me dyslexic as well,look how i have spelt weapons,how did i do that,ill edit it before she mentions it in a post.

Ive changed it now,that looks more like it.

She said that I had the spelling of a nursery child because I spelt the word correctly and she thought it was wrong.

[deleted]

That doesnt surprise me.Why is she/he constantly going on about there being no well known actors in the film,who does she want in it Tom Cruise,Brad Pitt,Arnie Schwarznegger as the German,Vin Diesel as Quinn.Next thing she/he will be saying the rats were bad actors.

[deleted]

Perhaps you should have a go at 'writting' his next script.

[deleted]

So what actors would you put in this film of yours?

[deleted]

Yes, that'll come very cheap. John Williams is great though. Don't forget that he wrote 'Magnificent 7' as well.

Micheal J Fox is out of the question as he has Parkinsons Disease now,Tom Hanks and Robert De Nero will try and out act each other,Harrison Ford is to old to be convincing as a WW1 soldier his in his 60's now.Leonardo Di Capprio and Tom Cruise will both be trying to out act each other as sex symbols.Johnny Depp i would definately consider as this is his sort of film,very gothic,Nicolas Cage and Ben Stiller maby.John Williams is not a bad idea for writing the music score.

Erm, and where would Tim Allen slot into the lineup? ;D

"This movie is crap and nobody other than you wants to talk about it!"

Hmmm... it's just... welll... you seem to be doing a lot of talking...

I fail to understand the amusement that cretins like you get from posting mis-judged comments on a site like this. Okay, so, we get the idea that you don't like the damn film, I for one thought it was alright, and there HAS been worse films (just about any Ed Wood movie for a start), but whether a film is good or bad comes down purely to personal taste. You don't like it, well, thats your choice, I for one wouldn't attempt to preache the virtues of a piece of work to someone so opinionated, but to say it's the worse film ever? Damn. I think maybe a film appreciation class may help you open your mind a little. Just because a film lacks a star studded cast, doesn't make it less of a film. Terminator... hmmm... one of Arnies first movies, and I think that could be the one given SOLE credit for launching his inter-stellar career?

Just curious, is there ANY brit productions that you like? Shaun of the Dead? 28 Days Later? Old Ealing comedies? Or is this purely a hollywood worship thing? The problem with hollywood is the amount of watered down, asinine, sterile films getting churned out for profit rather than love. Thats not to say I discount something purely BECAUSE it's come from Hollywood, it's just that my favourite genre is getting dilluted by profiteering producers jumping on the 'lets-remake-(Insert Asian Horror Film Here)-and-sterilise-the-style'.

It would seem that you know very little about the film industry, and indeed, the rigours a film can be put through before production even starts. Maybe the problems weren't with the production, but the pre-production problems, and this was merely reflected in the finished product, and if this is true, then you can take blame and land it firmly at the feet of the producers. Now, why don't you try to be an active member of society, learn how to form sentences, and realise that forcing your opinions on others is a pretty crap way of seeking the attention that you so obviously crave.

Oh, and real-life doesn't come with the option of using CTRL-C & CTRL-V.

Anyway, the curved knife, if I remember the film, was a Kukri, a knife used by the Nepalese Gurkhas, and is still in service within the British Armies Gurkha units to this day. It would be very possible that Quinn took the knife from a dead Gurka commerade, or maybe liberated it from a fallen german who kept the weapon as a trophy.

Heh, back to you, ArmyGirl! You know, I can't believe I read this whole thread, and moreso, found enough energy left the actually reply!

*passes the soapbox*

[deleted]

A very respectable post, Ritchie Brier.

Deathwatch is worse than Plan 9 from Outer Space? Have you ACTUALLY watched that? And how about Glen or Glenda?

Anyway, as I'm sure you're aware, we can consult the experts on all things bad and celluloid related. After all, thats why the Razzies exist! ;D

So, you think that it suffered from a lack-lustre cast? Hey, maybe you're right! Lets take a look...

**Worst Actor**

The winner is Roberto Benigni for Pinocchio

Other Nominees...
Adriano Giannini for Swept Away
Eddie Murphy for The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Steven Seagal for Half Past Dead
Adam Sandler for Eight Crazy Nights , Mr. Deeds

Hmmm, well, maybe it DOESN'T lie in the actors?! Bizarre, out of all the possible candidates, it was won by an Italian, and the other nominees are all Yanks!!!! Wow!

Okay, so MAYBE it was one of the co-stars who let wee Billy Elliot down?

***Worst Supporting Actor***
Hayden Christensen, you couldn't support a shelf! (Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones)

Other nominees...
Tom Green for Stealing Harvard
Freddie Prinze, Jr. for Scooby-Doo
Christopher Walken for The Country Bears
Robin Williams for Death to Smoochy

Wow! So, that round belongs to the Canadians, with three Americans in the runners-up! Strange, two of those are considered attractive names for bill-boards. Well, as you so blatantly keep shouting, maybe it was down to the inexperienced director/writer, Michael J. Bassett

***Worst Director***

Guy Ritchie walk this way for the Madonna vehicle that was SweptAway!

Also rans...
Roberto Benigni for Pinocchio
Tamra Davis for Crossroads
George Lucas for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Ron Underwood for The Adventures of Pluto Nash

Wahey! At last, we got not only a mention, but also an award! Well done Guy Ritchie for proving that although you have a rather paltry amount of films under your belt, you can still rub shoulder with respected directors like George Lucas and Roberto Benigni!

***Worst Screenplay***

Hang you heads in shame George Lucas and Jonathon Hales, Star Wars fans all the world over were after they had seen Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones!

Those who couldn't cut the mustard...
Neil Cuthbert for The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Shonda Rhimes for Crossroads
Vincenzo Cerami and Roberto Benigni for Pinocchio
Guy Ritchie for Swept Away

So, out of seven contenders, one was British. And it was Guy Ritchie. Can't argue with that, Swept WAS dire! You know, I think he had his flashes of brilliance when he made Lock, Stock and Snatch. He burned brighty, though...

And so it's down to this... Worst movie... Care to put your money where your mouth is, Bridget99? Well, of course you wouldn't, because you probably already know the winner isn't going to be DeathWatch, don't you? Drum roll, purrlease!

The worst movie of 2002 was... SWEPT AWAY!!!

Just for the record, the runners-up...

The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Crossroads
Pinocchio
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Oh, and before you start a tirade on the British film industry on the basis that a Brit director won the dubious honours of being the worst director and having made the worst film of 2002, just stop and think where the money came from, his wife, and American investors.

As for the budget and the names maketh the film, how about some other worst picture winners from recent years?

2005 - Dirty Love (American)
2004 - Catwoman (American, Big Budget, Big Billing)
2003 - Gigli (American, Big Budget, Big Billing)
2002 - See above
2001 - Freddy Got Fingered (American)
2000 - Battlefield Earth (American, Moderate Billing)

Hmmm, out of 5 years of awards, the Brit DIRECTED film won once, though all of them were backed with American money!

Okay, well, I've whittered on enough. The point I want to make is, They are wrong. I am wrong. We are ALL wrong, because if we didn't disagree with the views of others, our freedom of speech would be rendered irrelevant. Our liberties would be meaningless.

Just because those films were turned out by America, doesn't mean that their film industry is completely dire, it just means that not everybody gets it right first time, and anyway, these are nothing but a concensus of peoples opinions, and thus will never represent everybodies views, they simply can't.

So, be happy with your opinion, Bridget99, but don't try to force it on others, just learn to walk away with what little dignity you have left, and try to be a little more considerate of other users. I feel that I have wasted words enough on getting my point across, and I will no longer add my thoughts to this feud.

Just out of curiosity, what would you list as your top five movies? I'm curious where your tastes lay in film...

Oh, thank you, InvisibleHen. Thats the type of compliment that you very rarely hear in forums, especially when there's a flaming war going on! Can you tell that I used to be a forum mod! Lol!

[deleted]

I watched the film again last night,could someone tell me what was cpl Doc Fairweather's big sin,was it because he was an atheist as earlier on he shows he has no interest in the bible.When i first watched this film i thought he was a nice person and couldnt see why he had been judged,although i dont know why him being an atheist would necessarily make him a bad person.

Look on Wiki for theories, there are some good ones there. Anyway, I believe it was those who were attacked and killed by the trench who were claimed by purgatory and therefore had to spend their punishments again. People like Fairweather, who was murdered is just as good as Shakespeare so he is free to go on. Also, I doubt Michael J. Bassett would have a character punished for being an atheist, seeing as though he is as well!

Congrats on yet another interesting read, Mr. Brier.

Damn, I'm getting sucked into an argument here...

First off, Plan 9 From Outer Space is officially considered the worst film of all time, and secondly, Lugosi wasn't in it.

He was dead by the time Plan 9 came about, the actual footage of Lugosi that Wood used was shot quite a bit earlier as a screen test for a failed project. This is the only time that Lugosi appeared in the movie, all the other shots were done with a double.

Oh, and as for Lugosi being a legend, you're absolutely right, and for a time, he was a sought after actor. This didn't last due to the typecasting he suffered, and his career took a downhill, and he ended up featuring in a LOT of b-movies, which caused him to spiral headlong into a morphine (or was it opium?) addiction that very nearly claimed his life. It was during this dark phase in his life that he became an actor, and friend, of Edward Wood, and who knows, maybe he even tried angora?

Basically, the real redeeming credit that you're giving Plan 9 was the fact that it had a posthumous appearance by a drug depandant, depressed and palid silhouette of one of horrors greatest names. Why not take a look at one of my personal favourites, The White Zombie? Certainly, it's not in the same spirit as Romero (I'm a huge fan of anything zombie), but I was suitably impressed.

Oh, and I just checked, Deathwatch has been rated on here as 5.7/10, and Plan 9 got 3.4/10. Guess the numbers have spoken, eh?

Anyway invisiblehen, thats exactly my take on the premise. Now, I just need to work out R-Point. I caught it on Film-4 the other night, and it's left me a little bemused. Guess watching it from the halfway point didn't help, though my PVR is set to record it when it gets repeated on the 10th!

Oh, heh, and thanks!

BTW, I don't want people to think that I berrate all Ed Wood films, I actually really enjoy them! The campness of the whole affair elevates them beyond merely being bad movies, to the point where they exude a certain je ne sais quoi. The makings of true cult classics! You know, I wonder if, in the years to come, post-mortis, Ewe Boll will be remembered as fondly as Ed?

For the love of...

What wrong with you, dude, where is the major *beep* up in your brain? Were you dropped on your head as a child? DO you have nothing more in your sad little world than to spew this pathetic excrement through your keyboard?!

I have a feeling the reason you didn't rebuff my comments about Lugosi is because YOU HAVE NO *beep* IDEA ABOUT FILM!!!!! Do you even know what contextual study is?! Have you even spent a moment to actually think about what the sum total of your contribution to this board is?

So where does your argument take you now? Me thinks you simply pulled up Ed Woods entry on this site and just picked something at random. If you had actually seen Bride you would know that the script was one of the most terrible aspects of the film, stiffly delivered, lacking depth, shallow and derivative.

Hold on, that would explain your command of the English language, and the copy/paste technique that you have obviously perfected. WHen you can justify your comments, I may pay attention. For now, the only thing I would like from you is for you to curl up and *beep* well die.

Damn, I hate lossing my temper at some sexually inadequate ejit who probably gets off on using a girls name. Go play with a plastic bag and a busy motorway. Oh, and heres a box of matches and some sharp scissors, run along now...

Do you feel like giving up?

I didnt know that about Micheal J.Bassett,i actually thought he may have been religous,i think a lot of people get this impression.

[deleted]

If you watch his commentary with Laurence Fox and Jamie Bell, which is pretty funny, you find out that he is an outright atheist. It's probably on his site too.

I think my dvd version must be an x-rental because i get about 15-20 mins of trailers of other films before it starts,infact the first time i put the dvd on i thought the film was never going to start,i couldnt believe how many trailers there were on it.Ill have to have a look at his site,as just seeing the film by itself takes a lot of guess work.

[deleted]

You said that you saw this in the cinema, didn't you, 'Bridget'?

Hmmm...

And you claim to be American?

Thats interesting, becuase this movie DIDN'T GET AN AMERICAN THEATRICAL RELEASE!

You douchebag.

'Your ignorance is exceeded only by your charm, Captain.'

The movie sucksss! We hates nasssty movie!

No accounting for taste, eh, precious?
