Matrix Revolutions is pretty bad I agree, but I don't really count that as anything other than a Matrix cash-in.

V for Vendetta and Speed Racer were sublime <3

V For Vendetta was an adequate adaptation of a far better source material. Speed Racer was a gorgeous film that overcompensated on that to cover awful storytelling and characterisation.

 

[Arnie]

It's a masterpiece. If you liked Tinker Tailor's elegiac, paced, measured style of storytelling, you like when Brad Pitt turns up and puts in a performance, if you like Casey Affleck, if you like Nick Cave, if you like Westerns, if you like fucking splendid fucking movies, you'll love it.

I'll grab a pukka pie and take off my pants, shall I.

I'm not arguing with Manure fans. Fuck this.

 

[Clegg]

Agreed. A god among mere men in our dark hours. I think 1997/98 was the first season I actively took notice of United, so I was fortunate enough to have watched the 3-2 against Juventus. Gives me shivers when I see reruns of it.

98/99

The 97/98 season was when Keane tore his cruciate ligament. The fact that he became an even greater player after that injury proves how great he actually was.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

The biggest fixture this week is the El GAFico tomorrow night between Jeff and Shebby's managerless Blackburn Rhoders and my own band of merry and rubbish troops Sheffield Tuesdays.

I'm going to run on if we score and hug Chris Kirkland

Oh yeah, I know! Just saying I was old enough to see that season, as opposed to latching on halfway through the Treble season :lol

don't wanna be more of a glory hunter than I already am innit

[Arnie]

That'd be amazing.

Can't wait for the Hillsborough leg, I'm going to sack off the filming duties and do a Danny Murphy player cam.

Hopefully he won't require medical treatment like Kirkland!

Brownie points for telling Daglish to do one, too.

Meus - pretty sure the £36 includes unlimited calls and texts

[confuziz]

huntelaar is a shit footballer. he's almost as bad as carroll.

congratz, you know nothing about football. How does that feel?

 

[bud]

congratz, you know nothing about football. How does that feel?

he's a good goal-scorer.

but... he's a shit footballer. i don't see how you can argue otherwise. the evidence is right there.

I think that's what makes a striker a good footballer..when he can score goals....

 

[Yurt]

According to Sky Italia: Isla on the right, De Ceglie on the left. Vidal starting. Lucio takes Barzagli's place. Buffon is back. Vucinic benched, he's still recovering from the flu. Matri in (with Giovinco, I presume).

I have a bad feeling about this ... Pogba deserved to start, given Vidal's poor form.

Isla better fucking turn up, he was playing it too safe for my liking last time he stepped on the pitch.

I don't understand why we wasted a ticket on Matri.

 

[KidA Seven]

The Assassination Of Jesse James looks incredible. It is also incredible. BUCK THE TREND MOTHERFUCKER.

So glorious. Dat fear Jesse James instills.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

That'd be amazing.

Just focus the camera on the edge of the centre circle in the rovers half and you won't have to move it much

By the way the Ewood circus continues today, self elected fan leader Glen Mullan has been quoted in the independent that fans will meltdown and boycott if certain people are appointed

Apparently this has made Shebby change his mind, what a load of bollocks

 

[Salazar]

I don't understand why we wasted a ticket on Matri.

The goals Vucinic has cracked in for me in FIFA, omg.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

The post assassination stuff in Jesse James that follows Bob's demise it fucking masterful.

 

[Wilbur]

Jeff, I feel for you. Blackburn are a shambles looking in from the outside :/

So glorious. Dat fear Jesse James instills.

Best film of the century so far.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I'll grab a pukka pie and take off my pants, shall I.

I got it on blu-ray recently. I think masterpiece is putting it a bit strong. I would say large parts are very slow as opposed to paced and measured.

It's a very very good film though.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

There Will Be Blood just edges it for me, just.

 

[Wilbur]

I appreciate that its not for everyone, but it takes its time telling a story and lets its characters do the work as opposed to the script serving them. Can't get enough of dat Bob and Jesse dinner scenes

There Will Be Blood just edges it for me, just.

And just behind Jesse James is this. 2007 was a fucking great year; those two, No Country, Zodiac, Ratatouille, Diving Bell & The Butterfly...

 

[Yurt]

Oh yeah! He's one of our best in FIFA!

IRL however, he's either an explosion of awesome or an explosion of diarrhea. There's no middle ground.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Dat basement scene.

 

[Wilbur]

I always thought Vucinic was frustrating as fuck to watch at Roma.

 

[WJD]

I love FM sometimes.

You certainly have a lot of ways of saying slow! I have no problem with the length, I just don't see the pacing as a major positive. There's so much downtime. Just a little too much sitting around with people talking and not much happening. I appreciate it would a very different film if that were otherwise. But it certainly requires a lot of investment from the viewer. I think you get out what you put in to these sort of films, and you probably benefited a lot more than I did from that.

That's just how I see it anyway.

 

[Arnie]

Just watching Episode 5 of Being Liverpool because I missed it on Friday, there's some great scenes. The one where Rodgers takes Jonjo aside for a private chat, and the one where he bets Reina £20 that he can't hit the crossbar, which he does.

I was about to shoot Jesse myself to end the fucking movie.

I liked it, but it was two hours too long. (even the title was unnecessarily long)

But then it would have only been 40 minutes long.

You'll have to stand in the corner with Kyoufu now.

You didn't like Looper.

 

[Yurt]

Okay so I was obviously exaggerating

It was rather slow though.

You didn't like Looper.

I dunno Arnie, I've seen better sci-fi movies. The whole concept is good, but it's filled with plot holes, it was hard to enjoy it.

I can't get over the baby section. It ruined the whole movie.

 

[Wilbur]

You didn't like Looper.

I only liked the first half.

 

[kharma45]

Looper wasn't bad but it's hugely overrated, 3/5.

 

[Blablurn]

Hell yeah, my day at class is over. Its all champions leage from now on

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Looper is okay, Los Cronocrímenes is better.

 

[Wilbur]

Looper is okay, Los Cronocrímenes is better.

Timecrimes? Good stuff

 

[GorillaJu]

I haven't seen Looper yet but if that's your complaint, Yurt, hopefully I'll still enjoy it. I don't mind loopholes in movies to be perfectly honest. I feel like fictional stories can always be broken down to find glaring inconsistencies, but so long as they're not big enough to make the story completely implausible, I've got no real problem with them.

 

[Clegg]

I've had a weird day. Woke up for a class at 9 and was about to get in the shower when I remembered the class wasn't until 6 this evening as we were watching a documentary on Zapatista.

No I've just gotten an e-mail saying that the class has been cancelled due to "health reasons". No lectures today now.

Think I'll play FM and try to sign Alaba.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Prometheus is the new high bar for plot holes and inconstancies, so always compare and contrast any film you ever see with that.

Looper is about a 4 on the Prometheus scale. Not too bad.

Yeah I didn't mind the inconsistencies and stuff, but the film just didn't grab me second half.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

The moment they get to the farm house in Looper it kinda fizzles out.

 

[Slizz]

The moment they get to the farm house in Looper is kinda fizzles out.

Agree, fun movie regardless though.

 

[Wilbur]

100% correct

 

[Yurt]

Looper's second half was an 8 on the Indigo Prophecy scale.

 

[kharma45]

Yeah it did get kinda boring eventually, there was nothing in the film that ever really grabbed my attention.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

To be honest the sections with Bruce Willis just made me want to watch Twelve Monkeys instead.

After reading the thread last night, I sent an invite to the football group on Facebook.

I hope this gets me to talk more in this thread lol
