That's the one - well done, Anakin! Now everyone will probably think I have a warped sense of humour, but I also loved the bit where the tube grinds to a halt in the tunnel (as they do) and Tanya Gold bangs on the wall, whereupon it starts again.

Sadly I think this is an abridged version as there was no mention of the tube...

"The train stops and someone else asks 'Are you going to fix it?' I bang on the window and shout 'Move, train, move!' And the train moves. My superpowers are stronger than I ever expected." Now, could Kick-Ass do this?

Well, I still haven't seen this highly rated film, but there's exciting news for all the Kick ass fans out there:

A sequel has been greenlit, according to the comic book's creator Mark Millar.

Based on Millar's comic book series, Matthew Vaughn's violent and quirky supehero film was a hit with both critics and cinemagoers. And Miller has claimed that a sequel is on the way following healthy DVD sales of 'Kick-Ass' in the US.

He told BBC Radio Five Live, "The estimate is ('Kick-Ass') will do 100 to 150 million on DVD based on the American sales. So it’ll end up making a quarter of a billion on a 28 million investment.

“So It should be okay. So the sequel’s greenlit, we can go ahead and do the follow up now, you know. The first made so much compared to what it cost it would be crazy not to."

Millar's comic book sequel 'Kick Ass 2: Balls To The Wall' will be released on Thursday.

And that's given me an idea for another poll, Ms Thrifty!

I wonder if the Americans will change the title - they are so stuffy sometimes. 'Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang' was changed to 'Nanny McPhee Returns'.

Why, would the Americans have mistaken it for a mass orgy otherwise? :blink:
