I just saw this at a glance on the tv news, and couldn't believe it. I thought I'd actually misheard what the report said, so I rushed to my computer and googled his name. Needless to say, I'm still in shock.

Heath Ledger has long been one of my favorite Australian actors. The only roles of his that I didn't like was A Knight's Tale and Brokeback Mountain. Everything else (including the otherwise loathsome '10 things I hate about you') have been stellar performances. The first film I saw Ledger in was the Australian drama Two Hands which, to date, is one of the finest Aussie films I've seen. I've been really excited about seeing him as the Joker (though I was skeptical when it was first announced), but now I wonder if it may be a little uneasy to watch.

Sad as it is to say, rest in peace.

Your forum is shit and serves no purpose. Since you came to another forum asking its users to join yours, its safe to say you lack the netiquette and social skills to successfully run a forum. Try again when you actually know what you're doing.

Also, invisionfree is horrible.

Fuck, this looks so awesome. I can't get GTA: SA to run on my own shitty PC, so I'll have to try to remember this shit next time I'm at my buddy's house.

Its my understanding that the modification of consoles and the selling or servicing of modchips are illegal in my country.

All the same, I too am interested in getting a quality PS2 modchip. Preferably one that isn't going to bust my currently very tight budget. I need something to replace the current heap of crap I have that refuses to play NTSC games.

1. Terminator 2: Judgement day
I must have seen this movie 100 times. Ever since I was a kid, this film has topped my fave movies list while the rest of the list changed with the seasons. I never get tired of the intense action, the gripping drama and the incredible adventure that is Terminator 2. Robert Patrick as the T-1000 ranks as my favourite movie villian ever, and this is still the ONLY Arnie film that hasn't made me cringe atleast once to a poorly executed quip. T2 picks up more than a decade after the events of the first film. Sarah Connor has been committed to a mental institution, while her son, John Connor - destined to lead a future human resistance against a dominating army of machines - is in foster care and in denial of everything his mother taught him. From the future, an advanced machine assassin comes to kill John, and another comes to protect him.

2. Gattaca
Ethan Hawke delivers the best performance of his career as Vincent Freeman, and how he became Jerome Morrow. Born naturally-concieved in a world of genetic perfection where babies are concocted in laboratories. A world where a person's full potential is determined before conception, where life-expectancy and probable cause of death can be predicted at birth. With his own genes against him, Vincent exchanges his life and identity with Jerome Morrow; a man born perfect, now cripled and willing to give his genetic identity to someone who can better use it. Vincent becomes Jerome in order to achieve his goal of space exploration and defy his own fate. Great soundtrack too.

3. Chopper
Eric Bana stars as Mark Reed aka "Chopper". Based on (though quite exaggerated in parts) the life of one of Australia's most notorious criminals, the film explores Chopper's time in prison (from being stabbed by his best friend, recieving death threats, and cutting off his own ears to convince a warden to transfer him to another prison) - as well as Chopper's struggle to assimilate with society after release. It's too hard to summarize the rest of this film. It has a fantastic dark humour about it, and an amazing array of one-liners. It's still amazing how such a feared criminal has become a best-selling author, and an Australian icon.

4. The Lord of the rings Trilogy
I love all three films equally. I find it hard to seperate the three. I also don't feel like I need to summarize what LOTR is about.


And because I'm too damn fussy to pick ten (in full order) and write summaries for them all:

Fight Club
Memento
Medicine Man
The Matrix
The Manchurian Candidate (1963)
Saving Private Ryan
Patton
Aliens
Rocky
The Shawshank redemption
Boyz in the hood
The defiant ones
