Good god I hate these designs. They absolutely ruin the intrinsically beautiful lines of the cars and bring to mind the dazzle camouflage used on naval ships in WW1. Yeuch.

Rouen-Les-Essarts
Mille Miglia

Quote from Bob Smith :On that note then, perhaps it's best to not bother visiting these forums at all?

Would you like me to leave, Bob? Because, trust me, if the forums have come to the point where people are allowed to do the equivalent of smearing mental fecal matter all over the walls without so much as a how do you do by the moderators yet when someone else makes a comment about it and is then basically invited to leave by those self-same moderators, I'll pack my bags.

Actually, screw it - they're already packed.

Ta ta lads, wallow away.

I have to disagree strongly about ignore lists not solving problems. I generally give people a few chances but if they consistently spout inane or inflammatory drivel, onto the list they go. It makes for a much more pleasant forum reading experience. If I'm missing the odd pearl of wisdom, so be it - I'm not willing to wade through pools of mental diarrhea for the sake of an occasional gem.

Quote from pine-fin :longshot.. Nikita?

Winner! Nikita, 1990, Luc Besson. Jean Reno had a small-ish part playing Victor Nettoyeur, a 'cleaner'.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :Seems Buddha and I have very similar tastes.

It could just be that I'm old enough that there aren't many relatively mainstream movies that I haven't seen at some point!

Straw Dogs. 1971. Sam Peckinpah. Excellent movie.
How big is your ignore list?

After adding another person to my ignore list today, I noticed that my list now weighs in at a mighty 58 users. That means I have more people in my ignore list in this one forum than in every other forum that I've ever been a member of combined.

Quote from Poffter :Here is my view on barriers and ramps:

Why the hell would you include something that doesn't work properly when you are THAT anal about so many other small stuff?

Because it works well enough 99.5% of the time. If you were to have the devs remove everything in the game that doesn't work 100% properly 100% of the time, you'd be left with what? You certainly wouldn't have any tyres. Nor would you have a chassis, or any bodywork, or an engine, or a transmission. You'd basically be left sitting on your arse on the grid with a disembodied steering wheel in your hands and a horn laying forlornly on the ground beside you.

The driver wasn't racing and wasn't involved in the street race. Apparently, tyre smoke from the street racers obscured visibility which meant that the driver couldn't see the crowd which had spilled out onto the highway to watch the race. Now, you can certainly argue that the driver should have slowed down when they saw the tyre smoke and that if they had been traveling more slowly they would have been able to react in time to avoid plowing into the crowd. However, based on what appears to have happened, my view is that the driver isn't really culpable and that those who died were killed more by their own stupidity than by the driver's recklessness.

Quote from Niels Heusinkveld :The attached video is a nice sim too btw! (sorry its zipped into a.. RAR..)

Nice video, Niels. Is that from the GTL for rFactor project that you're working on? That's one mod that will definitely make me reinstall rFactor when it's released.

I have or have had just about every racing game released for the PC in the last 12 years. I recently had to reformat my hard drive. The only games I bothered to reinstall are RBR, netKar PRO and LFS.

Quote from deggis :The Thin Red Line?

Yes, The Thin Red Line it is. It wasn't very well received when it was released - I think people were expecting/hoping for it to be another Saving Private Ryan - but it's one of my favourite films.

The bleak and grainy look of the film is very distinctive and sticks in the mind for a long time. I first saw it during a season of Russian films that Channel4 ran late at night back when I was at uni in the late 1980s. Here's the IMDB link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0079944/

Here's a new entry which should be more accessible to those who are complaining that the films are too obscure:

It's not Dracula and that's not Cary Elwes. Here are a few hints:

- the film is set in Russia immediately before and during the revolution
- the title character is shown in the screengrab
- the film is almost 3 1/2 hours long and when it was first shown in theatres there was an intermission mid-way through to allow the audience to stretch its legs

Yes, 'A Clockwork Orange' is correct. David Prowse, an ex-weightlifting champion who had a minor role as a bodyguard in A Clockwork Orange, went on to play Darth Vader in Star Wars.

Some hints: it's from 1971, it was directed by a critically acclaimed director, an actor who would go on to play a leading role in Star Wars just 6 years later has a minor part and it is notorious for a scene in which the main protagonist commits a violent act while singing a cheery song.
