Started to Scorpion King becuase I was horribly bored.. .turned it off in five minutes.
I understand that a bow is a powerfull weapon, but it was just unbelievably stupid that it would blow a guy THROUGH a stone wall.
It wasn't cool or heroic, or unlikely.. at was DUMB!

The Sword and the Sorcerer (I believe its called), though I managed to watch it the entire way through, possibly due to my being too tired to get up out of bed to shut it off.. it was just horrible, so bad in fact that I probably contemplated suicide several times during the course of the movie.

Dragon wars and jumper. To very bad movies, Jumper was just chalked full of plot holes and Dragon wars just sucked out right on almost every possible category except for special effects. That movie is not worthy enough to have the word dragon put next to it!

I was really annoyed that they ruin Dragon wars....IT had nothing to do with dragons hardly at all...JUST a BIG SNAKE turning into a dragon which was stupid. It hardly show dragons at all so i have no idea why they use the name Dragon

If you want to look at it like that, you might as well add the Bourne series to your list. The movies were nothing like the books except for the fact that an agent had amnesia. Edit: I did love the movies even though they should have had a different title.
I don't think I saw more than 5 minutes of Lost in Translation, and I couldn't stand 2 minutes of the TV show "Stressed Eric" (late 90s)

Just look at MST3K, horrible, eye spooning, suicide inducing movies that all probably utterly failed in the box office, or skipped directly to video, if that was even possible in the 1900s. I'd have to say making fun of their cheesy dialouge, story, characters, effects, and names actually honored the piece of crap directors, more than they deserved, but the show is damn hilarious, so I forgive them.
Other than that, I really only spend my well-earned time on worth while movies, hard to catch me watching stuff I'd rather not unless its one of those cheesy kids movies, and my choices are either watching it or sleeping.

Given the context and my inferences, I imagine that he didn't call the girl and ask to speak to the room-mate.
My guess would be that the annoyance stems from the fact that they were on the phone when the "fail" girl hung up the phone that was in use.

No it doesn't.
A great deal of language - part that foreigners have trouble adjusting to - is connotations. In dictionary definitions, both fine and good are very similar but in subtextual meaning they are notably different. After all, if you're only "fine" then something must be wrong.
The words we choose make every difference.

You sir, are incorrect. Yes, the Graphics are different. And yes, the storyline is similar (New guy to the city, gotta make a name for himself, etc etc.) BUT everything else is entirely different. They redid everything, all mechanics of the game are reworked from the ground up. Driving feels more real; and the controls are reworked. Running, aiming, fighting, doing ANYTHING is reworked. They've added a buddy system, you can do missions whenever the hell you want by calling people on your cellphone, you can access Multiplayer with 15 online games through your cellphone (which are really, really fun, btw). Basically GTA4 replaces GTA3 as the New Hulk movie replaces the previous one. Completely forgotten, yet oh so much better.
((And yes, I do admit there are a few things about the game I don't like.))
But that Commercial does get annoying...Then again, what commercial doesn't?

I havent played it yet but the thing that bugs me is they are calling it GTA 4. I mean come on, it is the ninth game in the series, the six original story in the series, and takes place in the city from the third game. How can they call it four?

See, you're making the same mistake I did in interpreting his sentence. I saw 'hung up' and thought phone too, then I reread it. What he's saying is the girl he dumped still has feelings for him, but he now wants to bang her friend. The friend is refusing to sleep with him because she doesn't want to hurt fish girl.
(I've heard the expression
cold fish to describe an aloof, withdrawn, uncommunicative sort of person. It's funny how some expressions get changed up from place to place, person to person. As far as I know,
limp fish is what you get from people who have no idea how to give a firm handshake.)

I was never going out with the girl, it was a hook up, sex only but she is taking it a step farther by wanting a relationship. Her friend and I see this and are off limits to eachother until september.
