The first printed dictionary to list the word hipster is the short glossary "For Characters Who Don't Dig Jive Talk," published in 1944 with the album Boogie Woogie In Blue by pianist Harry Gibson, who performed as Harry the Hipster.[2] The entry for hipsters defined it as, "characters who like hot jazz." This glossary of jive expressions was also printed on playbills handed out at Gibson's concerts for a few years. It was not a complete glossary, as it only included expressions that were found in Gibson's lyrics.[3] The same year, 1944, Cab Calloway published The New Cab Calloway's Hepster's Dictionary of Jive, which had no listing for hipster. Given that Hepster is Calloway's pun on Webster, it appears that hepster pre-dates hipster.

Heat has good gunfights because they were organized by a certain Mr McNab.
He was going to be given some kind of hollywood award for fight choreography, but before the ceremony a load of real bankrobbers were arrested and it was discovered that they were using Heat as a training film.

The Pacifier on iPlayer.

It is a film.

It is not good.

But I can't seem to bring myself to turn it off.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Gotta love a bit of Vin. Haven't seen Pitch Black for years. Now that[I] is[/I] a great film.

I liked Heat when it was out but I couldn't watch it again to be honest, once was enough. I would imagine it's aged quite badly, stylistically? (I don't know)

Heat hasn't aged badly at all. Still works on many levels. People have tried to make heist movies like it, but have yet to match it in my opinion. Of late 'The Town' was probably the most notable, which I really like as well.

Heat was actually a re-incarnation of Mann's earlier TV movie called LA Takedown. Which actually wasn't half bad in it's own right. Bad actors, limited budget, cut to 90 minutes. Not surprising that Mann revisited the subject matter with a better cast and more money.

+1 - I watched about 10 minutes of Pacifier last night on BBC3 too. My god is it bad or what. Don't know why they made Chronicles of Riddick - when they could have made a much better movie around the Riddick character. It's kind of ironic that Vin Diesel for a period of time refused to do sequels since he claimed it stopped people taking him as a serious actor, yet now all he seems to do well is franchise movies. I'm not knocking him at all. I think the F&F movies of late have been very watchable and enjoyable affairs. I'm hoping he does do another Riddick movie, maybe a prequel to Pitch Black. Hell even a Xxx could be worth seeing.

Yeah I've seen LA Takedown also. Heat is better. I'm not dissing it really, I just felt it was a bit of a stretch

is battle for la any good or total trash?

I find Vin bizarrely attractive... is there a confessions thread?!

I 'would'.

I just remember Vin was in 'Saving Private Ryan' too. Just a small role since he takes one in the chest and dies about 40 minutes into the film.

I reckon Vin Diesel pretty much found the right vehicle for his acting ability level in 'The Iron Giant'

Best film ever made on BBC3 tonight and on iplayer

There was a remastered version that was on a limited cinema release last year. It was wonderful to see it on the big screen.

I would LOVE to see it on the big screen
