I have no intention of downgrading the processor, I'm definitely getting an i7. I could downgrade the video card I suppose, I will do more research. Thanks again. EDIT: I've decided I'm just gonna downgrade the video card to a Radeon HD 6950. Apparently there's not much difference in it and the 6970 and it saves me almost £200, putting me 200 under budget, which is perfect. I can now do things like get a better case and maybe even an SSD if I can stretch that far. I'd wait on purchasing an SSD. The current models deteriorate rather quickly, and using one as a main hard drive gives it a life expectancy of about a year.

If you're willing to spend the money, more power to you, but you could also grab a 27" flat screen TV from VIZIO for something like $200-400, depending on where you look. My space is incredibly small, yet I easily fit my 360, games and TV in my room comfortably, while giving me plenty of space for other trivial/important stuff. And I also agree that in this day and age, a disc drive is practically useless. Movies? I stream Netflix. Music? No one buys CDs anymore, especially since every store backs everything up for you online for free now. Even then, I get most of my music from an Rdio subscription. Any TV shows or movies I can't get from Netflix are available for rent/purchase from Apple/Amazon/Vudu/etc. If I could buy all of my 360 games/indie shows online, I would own absolutely zero physical media today. I hate physical media. It takes up far too much space for my liking, and it's prone to loss/theft/damage. I love the idea of an entirely sparse apartment, save for the electronic devices that access the traditionally-physical media.

McQueen was easily the weakest part of "Cars" for me. Pixar's known for their unique, interesting characters that you like right from the get-go. McQueen is the cliche "I'm an unbelievably selfish asshole who learns the value of friendship!", and he wasn't even a particularly strong example of that archetype. But really, Car's biggest problems can be summed up with one name: Larry the Cable Guy. Mater's not a lovable hick; he's just a hick.

To be fair, that's not just Transformer 3's problem. Nearly every action movie in DC gives the city nonexistent skyscrapers.

12 Monkeys Terry Gilliam is a filmmaking deity.

Road to Perdition The Green Mile Clear and Present Danger Ronin

They're already making Toy Story 4.

Star Wars all the way. When I was 12, I could recite A New Hope verbatim. I haven't watched it in a while, but I bet I could do it again if I bothered purchasing a copy.

Here's my review of Transformers 3. If you want to have suicidal thoughts, go see it. Dumb? You bet! Incoherent? Fuck yeah! Even more racist than the last movie, expanding to an entire new ethnic group (Asians)? You know it! I may accidentally delve into spoilers, but it's 3 in the morning, and I have to unload all of this before I dive into my bed, upset that I've contributed to such a shit show. It may also mean that this is rambly and possibly incoherent, but that would be a step up from the drivel in the movie. I'm just going to rattle off every problem that comes from the top of my head; 1. Leonard Nimoy plays the main villain, and the movie won't let you forget it. What are the two sidekick bots watching in the house? Star Trek! What does She Liboof announce loudly when he sees fancy cars? "THESE LOOK LIKE THEY CAME FROM STAR TREK, HUR DUR!" What happens when he enters a fancy building? "I FEEL LIKE I'M ONNA USS ENTERPRISE, HUR DERP!" 2. The main human antagonist is the most poorly-written villain I've ever seen. At first you think, "Oh, he's just doing this because he 'knows' the humans will lose anyway. Makes perfect sense". What makes him absolutely, positively horrible is that when the tide turns and the humans are most likely going to win, he reactivates the doomsday device! It feels like they just wrote a back story for a villain just to say he wasn't one-dimensional, only to have him act one-dimensional 100% of the time. 3. Fuck that new love interest. I never thought these words would escape my...fingers, but Megan Fox is sorely missed. Megan Fox could at least deliver lines somewhat competently. This new girl can't even go through a sentence without sounding like the dumbest bimbo in the world. 4. Every attempt at comic relief was absolutely horrible. But I did find humor in the serious bits, like when Sentinel punches the shit out of the Abraham Lincoln statue and sits in the giant Abraham Lincoln chair. 5. The visuals in this movie are so damn inconsistent. Most of the beginning parts look like they came from a movie with a much smaller budget. They do all sorts of effects, like switching from Fake Kennedy to Real Kennedy in the span of seconds (which makes the Fake Kennedy really stand out as an awful impersonation), or keeping zero shot consistency at the end of the film (the back-and-forth dialog camera angles are present, only they're in different poses every time it switches to the other speaker). 6. NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FULL HOUR. 7. SherLeBeef is such a douche to his girlfriend, to his friends, and to the Autobots. He doesn't even have a decent reason. "I GOT A MEDAL FROM OBAMA AND I'M SPECIAL WHY WON'T ANYONE HIRE ME?" is not a valid reason. 8. At one point in the movie, Shulbeets is running with Seal Team Six and Victoria's Secret down a dirty alleyway. Suddenly, the Seals turn into the nearest building, while our "heroes" continue straight on. The Seal team's reaction? "Where did they go?" YOU SAW WHERE THEY WENT, YOU FUCKING MORONS. YOU WATCHED THEM RUN THAT WAY BEFORE YOU DUCKED INTO A BUILDING. 9. There's no tension. Optimus has already died twice, and Shialebrofugh died once. Both came back to life. You can't build tension when the heroes are all invincible badasses. The only characters they bother knocking out of commission in this one are not important to the story, like English Gentbot and Lacking Personalitybot. 10. You hire John Malkovitch and that woman from Fargo, and then you give them terrible parts. Way to spend your acting budget, Michael Bay. 11. The assholes in front of me reeked of pot. That's not part of the movie, but I can only assume that it is also Michael Bay's fault. 12. Worst cuts in a movie ever. They transition from a ruined cityscape to the side of a bloodhound's head. I heard someone from the audience scream, "Wait, what the fuck?" I can only share his surprise. Also, the the movie takes 154 minutes, yet it spends zero time on the ending. It just ends. 13. GODDAMN YOU WHY DID YOU DRAG THE REAL BUZZ ALDRIN INTO THIS AND MAKE HIM SAY SUCH HORRIBLE LINES YOU DISGRACEFUL BASTARDS 14. This movie sucks. 15. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Transformers 3...will make me want to blow my brains out after I'm done with it.

The Green Mile. I forgot that Sam Rockwell was in that! I was disappointed that they didn't throw in a good Sam Rockwell Dance, though I suppose that would be an inappropriate place for it.

That is disgraceful. Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorite comedies of all time. It's also the Farrelly Brothers' best work.

It's because Shadows is well-written, and there's a certain sort of earnestness to the dick jokes. It's all in the performance and presentation. Both G and Johnson are in agreement that the underworld is fucked, and that the demons are dumb, weird creatures. Also, it's completely self-aware, while DNF plays Duke completely seriously.

Yeah, when I went by the GameStop to buy a copy, the managers said they only received a small number of units. In fact, I grabbed the last one they had.

I got through half of Act 2. So far, this game is blowing my mind. The writing is top-notch, the visuals are astounding, and it evokes Grindhouse-esque stylings while preventing itself from becoming yet another Grindhouse knock-off. The demon world is a confusing place, and even your pal Johnson is willing to admit that yes, the demons are kind of dumb. Plus, read the books you find on the side. Johnson engages in a little Story Time, and the one I've read so far is hilarious. I'm eager to jump back in.

Bad Santa. This has to be the funniest/saddest black comedy I've ever seen. And the little kid is perfect.
