Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Worst films of all times

I was going to make this best and worst film of all time but picking the best film is too hard. But the bad ones stick out like dogs balls.

Of the current crop which absolutely polarised people - "Tree of Life " with Brad Pitt/Sean Penn..... ( kill me...kill me now)

Agree on Tree of Life... I bought that on BluRay based on the praise I had heard.... BIG mistake.

However, the film I have hated more than just about any other would have to be Independence Day 4.... apart from a few decent effects, the thing was, to put it nicely, pitiful!  Most films of this ilk I can appreciate on a level of "so bad it's good" and have a bit of a laugh, but for some reason ID4 couldn't even elicit that kind of a response from me... when I first saw it in the cinema, all I could feel was anger.

The worst of the most recent movies I've seen is The Hateful Eight - Tarantino's worst movie, I think he knew it was horrible so he tried to save it with even more than usual over the top violence. I get the feeling it was more of a parody and the violence was suppose to be funny but it was far from it.

A film called 'The Loneliest Planet' will never leave me. Atrocious movie with a storyline that could have been told in 5 minutes, with one particular scene involving an establishing landscape shot that lasted about 4 minutes. Half a dozen people left the cinema when it was playing and I was almost number 7.

Other notable mentions... Only God Forgives, American Sniper, Anchorman 2 and most superhero movies ever produced.

My ex gf made me go to the outdoor cinema the Botanic Gardens a few years ago to see Breakfast at Tiffany's and I did not enjoy the movie at all. She also made me to go see other really boring movies that even she didn't like, but I cannot recall their names.

It was boring but Audrey Hepburn doing that thrashing guitar solo on that stratocaster during "moon river" is epic.(seriously - I have no problem if you can't play the guitar but why on earth would you put one in her hand ??)

Lovely fingers though 'nut bean'....

Interesting story from Bob Bain who was the guitar player....

“When the date was over the contractor (Phil Coggin) came over and said ‘Bobby, you stay.’ The whole orchestra left and I’m sitting around. Hank said ‘Why don’t you go over to Nick’s. We won’t need you for another half hour. All you’ll need is your gut string (guitar).’ I figured that they wanted me to play a little background music or something. When I came back, Audrey Hepburn was in the studio. The studio had been darkened and the only people there were the engineer in the booth, the producer (Blake Edwards), Hank, and an assistant in the booth to run the tape machine. They had told everybody else to essentially get lost. Audrey did not want to sing with a big orchestra. She wanted to record ‘Moon River’ with just guitar and voice. She was so nice and very easy to accompany. She was really a good singer, too…. She made one take and we went in the booth to listen to it. Hank asked her if she thought she could do it one more time and she agreed. We did a second take and that was it. Then Hank took that track (with just guitar and voice) and overdubbed strings. In the picture, the first sixteen bars has Audrey in a window or a doorway singing ‘Moon River’ with just guitar and then the orchestra sneaks in. It ended up with this really nice orchestration.”

Bad movies just this year.

The fifth wave was god awful, Batman V Superman was the most horrid portrayal of Batman i have ever seen, Ben Afleck as batman that's a good idea REALLLLLYY!!!???

All time:

He-Man

Ladyhawke - Even though i was in love with Michelle Pfeiffer at the time!

Cocktail

Grease 2 - Again still in love with Michelle!

Blues Brothers 2000 - This would have to be my most hated sequel

Agree with all except Batman v Superman, as a long time comic fan I thought he did an awesome job as Batman.

Yeah sorry ET but i cannot agree and it wasn't just his portrayal of the Dark Knight, it was the whole damn movie, just high budget crap.

The ultimate edition came out today, 30 mins extra footage, explains some of the plot holes. I think the movie was too rushed but I quite enjoyed it. Much better than the last couple of Avengers movies, they're too 'cookie cutter' for my liking.

Big budget movies are pretty much all the same, dull and boring. The exception for mine is Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy.

I thought the second Avengers film was pretty ordinary, but I really enjoyed the latest Capt America Civil War thing.... nicely tongue in cheek.  Of all of them though, the one I have enjoyed most is Guardians of the Galaxy.

I passed on Civil War, but will see it when it comes to Blu Ray. I also enjoyed Guatdians of the Galaxy, thanks for the reminder. Chris Pratt is quite funny and charismatic, I like most of his work. Andy from Parks and Recreation is one of my favourites.

Yeah guardians was pretty good, but i have enjoyed all the avenger movies, the guy who played spider man did the character justice.

Just recently watched Divergent enjoyed the concept and the redhead, going to watch insurgent soon.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
