" My hate for the end comes from being raised on Bollywood movies (i'm Indian)"  

My knowledge of Bollywood may not be the most informed but this reaction seems normal to me from someone who is Indian. While we see Bollywood as some kind of weird cultural trend, I was actually under the impression that it was something just a tiny bit more sinister. There are certainly some intelligent Indian films that explore complex social issues and while they are few and far between they still exist. The problem is they are absolutely trounced by your formulaic Bollywood film that usually aims for no sign of complexity in the slightest, leading to a problem where thats all studios make.  
 
Thats why I did not understand the inclusion of the Bollywood dance scene at the end of Slumdog millionaire. I would have thought that most directors would view the Bollywood scene as their worst nightmare. A system where they are limited to make cookie cutter movies that sometimes have to adhere to a strict code or the studio will not fund it. To pay homage to something like that just seems wrong. I would understand if the film were using irony to demonstrate how messed up the Bollywood system is but I didn't get that impression at all. It was just in there.  
 
But then I'm not Indian so I never grew up with Bollywood, I could be entirely off the mark. 

@Ferg: Ah, well that seems like a fairly suitable person to present a show like that too be fair, though I imagine the rest of the show was pretty garbage. 2011 is certainly shaping up to be a good year in games. When I saw there was finally some development on how far away Mass Effect 3 was I was bloody stoked. 

The main difference is that it would probably have better casting and more whimsy...so much more whimsy. 

If it came out today instead of the late 90's you would probably see a bit of a different reaction. Not with the mainstream press of course but I mean the people who pay attention to that aren't exactly enthusiastic movie goers. Its entirely valid and productive for mainstream press to give poor ratings to the film as the majority of their readers would probably agree. I for one love the movie but I don't recommend it to many people.   

Who hosted this year? Was it Jack Black again? I'm in Australia so if I don't actively seek out the VGA's then I don't get to watch it. I've done that once and went 'ooohh...this is why everyone gives this show endless hate.'  
  
Seems like this was the best the VGA's have done in terms of announcements, I was certainly surprised that something so positive was coming out of them. Only disappointment was seeing that there was going to be a new SSX game and then watching that mess of a trailer for it. I wanted a new SSX Tricky not a....whatever the hell that was.

61: Splice 
62: A History of Violence 
63: Das Boot 
64: Eastern Promises 
65: Sex in the City 2 
66: Star Treck 5: The Final Frontier

Australia uses a combination of the metric and its own developed measuring system such as 'Thats probably about right' and 'Good enough'

I edit Cop-Dog Trailers

@Badfilms: 
Well I'll take any somewhat dubious compliment that I can get though music is certainly not a venture that I have a future in, still have to admit. Its fun as hell to write and play something when you have no knowledge of creating music and still coming up with something that can be considered to be music in the broadest sense of the word. Now I just need to colour code my bass guitar like in Green Jello and get banned from playing in every pub in existance.

@Badfilms: Well if I'm going to be bad I might as well be bad epically. 

I've always seen them and I wondered what they were until I saw Fight Club. I guess I thought they were just damaged parts of the film reel, which I suppose wasn't too far off from what they actually are. They use to worry me before I knew what they were because I was worried that the movie might break, I was really young at the time.

@DrPockets000: Man thats awesome. I always wished that I knew how to make music like that. 
 
I um...have this. Its the first song that I ever wrote and recorded. Unfortuantly I had to do everything myself, guitar, drums, vocals, and I'm not much of a singer but I did alright with I got. Very simple and straightforward song but the solo is catchy. I should really try and write something else one of these days. Might be able to do something much more dynamic now. 
  

Well here it is, put more time than I'm willing to admit into this. I suggest you go to the actual youtube page so you can watch it in HD. Yes I made a cop dog trailer in 720p. Also....I AM NEVER SCRUBBING THROUGH THAT MUCH COPDOG FOOTAGE AGAIN! 
  

@Mistress_Redhead: Yeah I can't remember any at all, apart from that coaches white nude ass in part 2.

haha, those are great guys. Might try myself if I can ever obtain Cop Dog.

Hell Yeah. I don't care how stupid it is, this is MY childhood movie...I also could defend the Super Mario Bros. Movie, for serious. 

Cameron Diaz and I use any scene in Knight and Day as proof to back up that statement. 

Gangly summed it up pretty well, but from my point of view The Nightmare on Elm street movies are more entertaining as a collective whole. At least when they are bad they entertainingly bad where as when Friday the 13th is bad its slow and when Halloween is bad its the most boring thing imaginable. Did you really have to watch an entire series of films? If you wanted to make it themed you could watch An American Werewolf in London, followed by The Howling, then wash it down with some fun Dog Soldiers. 

Which series should I get to enter myself into the horror genre?   

If you want to get into a horror watching a horror series is the easiest way to get out of it. Perhaps you should focus on single movies instead. Series of horror movies generally get dumb, badly paced, badly written, cheesy and downright stupid. The closest thing that I know of that doesn't do this too badly is The Omen and even then it gets bad at part 4.

Worst movie I've seen. I've seen a lot of bad ones but this entry from my birthplace of Australia certainly takes the cake at the moment for being a fury loving, bad acted piece of absolute unimaginable tripe that you could ever imagine. Heres my video review which shows a small portion of a birth scene that is more repulsive than the birth scene in The Fly and for such different reasons. Crap. Just crap. 
 
  

Finally watched this film for the first time in years and it was not exactly what I remembered it as. When I watched it I was pretty young, this possibly being the first pair breasts I had even seen in a film, but I remember the ending of film being relatively upbeat and while I'm not going to say explicitly what it was, I found that watching it as an adult the ending and overall tone of the film was incredibly morbid. Even as a young child I could easily identify that the main theme in the movie was love, however I was too stupid (some would say I still am) to recognize the other theme that is explored, life beyond our own. 
 
Maybe I was reading into it too much, but it seems like the message was that we had better live life while we can because there is an afterlife but its not clouds and happiness but instead the most incredible and incomprehensible suffering that not even the most imaginative mind could wrap its head round. With that in the back of my mind when the end credits appeared to some creepy music I found myself with a similar feeling that I had when I finished watching the Road. Hell worse even, at least the road had some kind of fragment of hope at the end of it.  
 
Also was it just me, or is what happens to Emily at the very end of the film one of the most painful scenes to look at. Something about it really made me feel like she was experiencing something so much worse than physical pain, it was almost too hard for me to watch. I've never had many problems with gore or torture movies. Hostel is fine, sure I cringed during Martyrs but there something about this scene that really effected me. 
 
Also if anyone is interested, here's my video review for it which also shows some of the said scene with Emily.
