Just to clarify the first season of Utopia was pretty poo.

Looks nice but the story is so convoluted and ultimately a massive letdown.

I guess I have to change my avatar.

SENZA DI TE NON ANDREMO LONTANO, ANTONIO CONTE IL NOSTRO CAPITANO!
Terrible timing though.

I wonder what's next for him? He's clearly one of the best managers in Europe, tactically. Wonder if he'll take a year off like Pep and be the next manager of a PSG or that sort.

Seems the likely scenario. I don't see him as Italy's next manager, it's way to early for that.

Well, 'Enemy' was.... interesting. I think I liked it? :lol

*MASSIVE SPOILERS*

What the fuck was that ending tho? Didn't expect that! I'm confused.

Enemy spoilers
Spiders in the film = how the protagonist views women. He has a deep fear of commitment. Spiders catch their prey, he feels trapped in their net / his marriage etc. ... He longs to squash them - remember the sequence in the sex club, how he was watching that woman squash the spider. That's what he wants. To break free from any responsibility. At the end, he manages to purge himself of his other self, the unfaithful Jake, the one who can't control his urges. But at the first sign of temptation, the key to the sex club, he goes back to the narcissistic portion of himself. That's who his wife - the spider sees at the end and backs up in fear of getting squashed by spider-killer Jake.

I quite liked American Hustle. Was too long though.

Wolf of Wall Street is the superior and much more entertaining film. However it also suffers from length.

Hello friend!

Oh man this feels strange. It's like some alternate reality :)

So Day 1 as Gooner Pledge went well. I really enjoy watching Ozil highlights. Still trying to find the best way to watch these games online. Is there an equivalent to a season pass online or something of the sort?

Yeah FW that was nicely written by Zabster



And guys I don't think anyone wanted Iturbe except for Zabo :lol

Utopia S2E1 is fucking boss

What an episode. What a show!

Was not expecting it to start like that, all the acting was top notch. Tom Burke was brilliant.


The only thing that didn't sit quite right with me was
using the deaths of real politicians. I think when that person is likely to have surviving family, it is a bit shitty.


Everyone should watch this show, deals with one of the most important issues facing humanity which is somehow ignored. Even though pretty much every major issue links back to it. And why globalisation, and shit like the EU's freedom of movement is completely fucking insane.

But it's not even confirmed.

It doesn't need to be. The fact that Juve have so many times been in this position where they have a clear need for a certain player, they have a chance to sign them, then let the chance slip away due to refusal to pay the transfer fee is enough to perturb him I'm sure. I mean I could have written the script for this transfer. Juve haven't signed a big "top 25 in Europe" player in his prime in how long now?

NBCSN has every Premier League game on TV and online (depending on your ISP). We actually get significantly more games here than they do in England (and without signing up for satellite).

I knew his name rang a bell, can't believe they got away with it tbh. Especially using real footage of the aftermath and reaction, footage that must be very sensitive since Thatcher's death

My mate might be getting a job at United

#genuineITK

Is your mate Arturo Vidal

American Hustle was so boring.

Wilbur why don't you list the acts, most boring to least.

I can't even remember them

1. Amy Adams getting fucked in the toilet by Bradley cooper
2. The Louis Ck bits
3. can't remember much else
4. Jennifer Lawrence singing like a cunt

oh wait reverse these, amy Adams was the best bit

So in one day ...

- Conte leaves
- Evra changes his mind
- Allegri becomes Juve's next manager
- Iturbe goes to Roma

YES MOYES
But Moyes is better or worse than Allegri???
Yeah FW that was nicely written by Zabster



And guys I don't think anyone wanted Iturbe except for Zabo :lol
But if we don't buy Iturbe, who we will buy??? Other random players from Atalanta or Udinese??? lol
 
both of them are him. The other girl is the mistress he was cheating on his pregnant wife with. His wife realised he's a bit insane when she saw him in the uni (his real job). And if you remember their conversation in bed at end

Cool movie

Ah yeah so thats why the mistress went crazy when they had sex and she saw the finger/ring. And yeah Jake was like 'what', so she knew it was 'the lonely Jake' :lol

It was cool, I'm liking it the more and more I think about it.

If you're not going to give us Berardi then please let us at least have Giovinco on a free transfer. Please Zabo, pls understand us.

Yeah American hustle was boring as fuck

I didn't find it boring; on the contrary the events of the film were fairly interesting.

What I found to be the problem was the film's terrible grasp of tone and character. The film seemed constantly confused between being a fun, ocean's eleven style crime caper and a more serious look at the true story of 2 con artists in an FBI operation. In the end it just flopped in the middle, not only leading to an inconsistent tone but also leaving the film with it's "heroes" being 2 reprehensible cunts with zero redeeming features. I mean, the ending,
the triumph of Bale and Adams over the FBI guy is presented as some applause worthy event for people to cheer along with, yet if you take more than a second to think about it you realise it's a disgraceful moment that only works because the FBI guy himself is a douche. Then the 2 con artists get their happy ending and you just think 'why'? They don't deserve this and it shouldn't bring the viewer any pleasure either.

I'm sorry, Suen-chan. We'll be battling for that ever-elusive EL spot with Parma next season. We can't be friends, I'm so sorry.

Where's this Mirror muppetry Arnie was promising then?

Arnie is a false prophet. Follow razaespn for best results

It was a better Scorsese movie than anything Scorsese has made in the last 20 years.

Films Martin Scorsese has made since 1994 that are better than American Hustle

- casino
- bringing out the dead
- gangs of New York
- the aviator
- the departed
- shutter island
- Hugo
- wolf of Wall Street
- the pilot episode of boardwalk empire
- no direction home

Only Shine a light was shitter

Masters of Sex S2E1 was solid. Such a good program.

I'm going to check out Halt and Catch Fire tonight.

It was glossy and soulless and vacuous and like an A-level student trying to make a Scorsese movie

Bang on. I thought it was shit too. I felt like Louie CK's character in the movie while I was watching.

I thought Wolf Of Wall Street was actually terrible. And I couldn't finish Shutter Island.

All of his other Leo films are great though. The Aviator is underrated.

Every single one of those movies is middling and unspectacular. Gangs of New York was good not for Scorsese but for the production and Daniel Day Lewis. Only Casino is worthy of mention.
