I had to look them up and they ripped off the Lays logo

Wikipedia'd them and you're right that's identical lol

Also found out they have the same parent company(Pepsi) so I guess now we know why they haven't been sued

they are the same brand, lays is just called walkers here probably for marketing purposes

Ahh, so that's why they tasted similar when I bought them at Sainsbury's haha

Perfect example of a trailer being much better than the actual movie.

Yep. It's a lot easier to fill out 1.5 minutes of compelling scenes and music than it is 2 hours. Such is the power of marketing. I can't always tell if a movie is going to be good by the trailer, as it often features the best parts. But you can usually tell if it's going to bad as there is little chance of the two hour feature being good if they could not even find enough good material to fill in the two minute preview. There are exceptions of course though, like the Goonies when the trailer was awful but the movie was memorable.

Also, good to see you around again babs.

Nein. It should tell us that The Silmarillion is being talked about. Maybe we'll live to see a live-action Middle Earth TV show airing at the same time as a live-action Disney Star Wars TV show.

Bugs me when I'm outside and walk in and everything is green indoors and dark from it being so bright outside.

[Who Really Cares?]

Flipping cold tonight. Snow is expected.

^Hell. Fucking. Yes.

Just got in from doing a shop, realised I forgot pain killers, left a pack of mincemeat meaning I'm gonna have to settle for some diddy arse portion of spag bol, and I picked up one of those Heinz soup multipacks, intended to have tomato soup n pasta tomorrow, but no... turns out they put vegetable soup multipacks amongst the tomato. Overall, biggest shopping fail ever.

‘The most corrupt country is America,’ Jackie Chan’s comments widely panned in China

In a talk show aired on Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV Monday, Jackie Chan, the world-famous actor and show-biz star, said that China is not the country with the most serious corruption problem; the United States is. He also called on Chinese people to refrain from criticizing the China, especially in front of “outsiders”. The remarks immediately set off waves of criticism in China’s micro-blogosphere. Many Chinese net users joked “He should shut up and focus on acting,” but others believe he had a point.

Wow Jackie Chan is a nutty nationalistic old man.
