The Number 23..........

[fudgeflaps]

.........is quite possibly the worst film I have paid to watch.

Utte f***ing hokum that is trying to be too clever, whose plot is purely based on coincidence. Two main parts of the plot went totally unjustified.

It is similar to a schoolchild writing an English essay, only to end with the mother of all cop-outs, "....and it was all just a dream"- that is the flimsy premise of the (*titter*) script.

All the film will have you doing is looking for excuses to justify the number 23 when you leave the cinema. "Oh God, darling, it's almost 23:00 hours!! What bus do you have to get? The number 5??? Why, that's 2 + 3!! Look at that car reggie plate- it all adds up to 23!!!!!! In fact let's just go home and have a 69 together- but have a threesome into the bargain; aaaaaaaaw, noooooooo 69/3 = 23. Arse."

Tosh. Of the highest order.

1/5; avoid.

!thumbsdown!

Not seen the film and will now all most certainly NEVER see the film. Just wanted to say cracking use of the word "hokum" currently featuring on my words that are dissapearing list. Unfortunatly "please" and "thankyou" are in the top 10 right now.

Any way Fudgie a pleasure to read your post as all ways

This is freaky....

'Fudgeflaps' if given the letters numbers (a=1, b=2, c=3, etc etc) you get 6, 21, 4, 7, 5, 6, 12, 1, 16 and 19.

Added up they come to 97.

Why is 97 freaky?

97 and 23 are both prime numbers......but that's not all!

3x2x7(the date) = 42
23+55 (the time) =78

42(multiplied date) + 78(combined time) = 120

Now your specific nickname 'fudgeflaps' added up to 97 right?

120-97=23! !shocked!

Should I make a film? !laugh!

p.s. no I'm not Carol Vorderman's love child.

p.p.s. you better be impressed, I've got better things to do you know! !wink!

You forgot to mention that fudgie's 23rd word in his post was 'plot' and the plot is about the number 23.

Coincidence?

Time will eventually negate the yarn - the holes readily evident everywhere.

Genius replies!!

The gf and i are laughing loud. !laugh!

[fudgeflaps]

Do a porno version.

The way you worked with the numbers there, is very similar to a system of how some producers pay the girls!!!

Top answers, Sammy and Jacquuey.

!wink!

I wanna send this thread to Jim Carrey.

What possessed him to do it?

('the number 23' is not a constructive answer)

He is part of genius like The Truman Show; yet does this- he obviously read the script.

So. Money? Extra work, something to do? Or.........

.......he genuinely thought it was CLEVER???!!

They watched every newcomer then yelled - the horny redhead eats everything!

Any 'hitch-hiker' will tell you that 42 is the magic number.
