Fighter is good.
Warrior is average.
Avengers is goodish.
TDKR will be amazing.

I agree. Great in The Departed though, but he's just a terribly boring actor.
Eh, it just felt set-up for Bale to dominate the film. And I haven't seen Warrior yet.
The Wrestler is the best

We all know the real winner is Never Back Down 2.
Don't know about 50 million, but I can guarantee you he's going to be worth at least 20M after the upcoming season. Even mediocre strikers score about 15-20 goals with Zeman and Destro will at the very least match the latter number.
Off-topic: I'm reading Stephen King's The Stand. I'm really liking it so far. Those of you who've read it or seen the movie (I think there was a movie or maybe a TV-series?), without spoilering anything else:
does it go supernatural at any point or is it all just about the virus / plague? A 'yes' or 'no' will suffice, thank you. 
I ask because 1) I'm curious 2) it's a Stephen King novel, so ... 3) I just read a chapter about the grinning man, who as I understand it is some sort of manevolent entity, which would indicate a supernatural element. Thanks!

Not even a contest.
I think The Fighter was excellent and I loved Warrior even if it was a bit unrealistic. Something about Joel Edgerton as an "action star" doesn't sit all that well with me. He doesn't have it IMO. Hardy was fucking amazing in it though.
Wahlberg was fantastic in The Departed as well FWIW. He's definitely a hit or miss kinda guy like Nic Cage.
Nope, because I'm pretty sure The Fighter is great and he does a great job in it. He's also very funny in The Other Guys.
As long as the project is good, his acting will be good. I'll agree that he can be lackluster in some of his leading roles, but mostly because the movie is a pile of shit. (Max Payne, The Happening).
I didn't enjoy The Wrestler or Warrior. I guess I'm not a fan of these kind of movies. But TF... blew my mind. It's an hell of a fun ride.
He really was, and every one of his lines were pure gold.

Raging Bull is still the best sports film. Hands down.
You mean Shaolin Soccer, surely?
That's not how you spell Bend It Like Beckham .

Really really. Only training with them for the mean time apparently, rumours of a loan move.
Preziosi is saying he's positive Destro will find an agreement with Roma after all. Just a matter of time.Fuck.Fudge.

Destro is clearly special, a very exciting prospect! But If we get him we still need an RVP I think :( Might as well leave him with Zeman, until he inevitably gets sacked and his (likely overrated at that point) players start jumping ship elsewhere :p
I hope we aren't selling Matri to get Pazzini? That's almost like for like, pointless and...disrespectful?

I´ve seen the mini-series a long time ago and I remember that there was a supernatural element to it.
Love the Fighter. Shame David O. Russel is something of a psychopath, he's a good director. Walberg and Bale were both fantastic in it; needed to have a strong straight man type like Walberg for Bale's character to work. Amy Adams, Melissa Leo were both great too.
Agree about Cazorla; class, proven talent, and the fee rumored seems to be quite low (12-15ish m). Dunno what the deal with Malaga is, he was supped to be their statement of intent signing and led them to a CL place. You'd think with that extra cash flow, they'd be able to keep a hold of him (not that I'm complaining!). Hope the addition of yet another winger would mean that Theo, Podolski, or one of our many faux-wide players will be playing centrally next season.

If we swap Matri for Pazzini I'm gonna fucking explode. It doesn't make ANY FUCKING SENSE. It would be another one of those operations you could see being useless from the very start, like Martinez, Motta or even Pazienza.
Don't think it means anything, Charles. I'm more or less convinced he's a goner at this point. It would take a PSG-Verratti kind of move from Marry at this point, which I don't think he's capable of.
OT: So I was right about The Stand going supernatural. Oh well, I wouldn't mind it, unless it trumps the otherwise really enjoyable story.

Yes, PM the Pedo
There are rumours that we are after him.

Throw caution to the wind Clegg. We won't say anything to Wilbury.
C'mon guys, it's basically a done deal at this point. You can see it coming from a mile away.
Andrea Poli (wanted by Fiorentina) to Juventus is almost official. According to someone who works for SKY on twitter.
Fiorentina have announced that Jovetic has not suffered any injury after limping off in training. All tests came out negative. AKA Our product ain't broke.
*connecting the dots*
Furiously unbuttoning trousers.

Well congrats with the Sampdoria trash.
I don't understand why.
But oh well, lets post some Ivan ass instead

I'm guessing they don't want to risk losing out on the extra 10% of the fee after August 1st.
What do you think of the rumours about Hulk to Spurs?
Now you're on the receiving end!
Because it repeats fairly quickly and it's nothing but a checkered pattern for more than half the gif. On top of that, a camera panning up at quick speeds is already a bit disorienting. It's quite obnoxious.
Offering a better wage (that Liverpool could have matched) =/= offering a massively bigger transfer fee. I take the point, though.
Salvadora said:
No thanks. Overrated and we couldn't afford him anyway. If we have £35m to spend on a striker then I'd rather we got Falcaoloooooooooooolnevergoingtohappen
you want Berba back? He'll cost 30m less than Falcao.
No. He can go fuck himself after the way he behaved over the transfer. Best £30m we ever squeezed out.
Chelsea gets on my fucking nerves. They should just call themselves JT FC and we all know the meaning of it.
I would definitely argue that Hulk is far from overrated. He is a proven, lethal finisher. Now you might say he's overpriced but that's not the same thing.
That being said, Falcao over him would be understandable although I don't think there's that much of a difference between them. Comes down to style and taste. We know Hulk operates well under AVB though.
