As for the series the effects are impressive, but really? 6 milion pounds? Was that really necessary?

The ending IS cheesy indeed

I have to admit, apart from the cheesy moment with the close-up of the tram driver, i found it pretty damn impressive.

Any thoughts?

Not a Corrie fan but that was certainly more impressive than the Easternder's fire. Couldn't see it was 6m worth though

6 Million was the quoted figure but was probably bluffed a bit from 5 or 5 and a half million. Certainly they pushed out all the stops to cause carnage, i thought the back end of the tram was particularly impressive. Just a shame there were survivors.

Something that made me laugh really hard - an English lesson for Japanese:

But, although it sounds impossile, it can get even worse:

Yes, it's taken from a song of Ella Fitzgerald. I've heard other versions of the song, but her's is the best IMO

Thanks! Just heard it on YouTube and its quite the hip shaker.

Laughed my butt off when I first saw this... I love funny animation!

Yes, 2010 sucked. I'm glad it's almost over.

Nice animation

Here's something from me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0aXY2pM2sA

Last summer I found an old casette from 90's and this song was on it. I didn't even remember it and when I was listening to it I didn't even speak English, so it was quite a shock when I listened to it now. Plus the video was another shock for me, but of course it made my day

Ha that was a trippy video, it actually looks like something Aqua would make (of Barbie Girl fame) but i dont recognize it all, best kept in the past eh.

P.S Can i call you Got or Mrs. That Swing? Your choice!
