Wish I could watch GotG tomorrow.
Being lugged to a screening of The Expendables instead.
Need at least two pints before that.
it doesn't release in India till august 8th and when it does it will only be available in English in 3D
so...FUCK MY LIFE
Hope Guardians is better than the trailers, too corny for me
Pls stop having terrible taste.
I liked Iron Man 3 a lot. Very little in the way of Iron Man though but it's fun regardless.
Er... haven't actually seen that one. Was no fan of 2 so didn't bother
just realized my post was ambiguous, meant to say I'm seeing GOTG tomorrow, I enjoyed IM3 but it's polarizing, lots of marvel fans hate it... anyways, never mind lol

good to hear (and I'm seeing it anyways tomorrow) but I'm curious:
Iron Man 3: for or against?
Against Against Against
That was a piece of shit
Agreed.Against Against Against
That was a piece of shit
Awful movie.
Pls stop having terrible taste.
It could be good but they played the same song in 4 trailers and none of the humour hit me
I think sometimes Marvel has this bubble around them where people are so glad they exist that they dont critique it fairly.
Best Marvel movies for me:wrong
IM3 is best Marvel movie yet
(haven't seen GOTG though obviously)
1. The Avengers
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Ironman.
Thor 1/2 is shit. IM2 & IM3 is shit. First Captain America movie was indescribably awful.
jtb, have you seen gotg (guardians of the galaxy)?
you know, as it turns out, I have not
though I am seeing it tomorrow
And Salva said Bertrand going to Southampton was a loss for us...
TheTimes said:Liverpool are closing in on deals for Alberto Moreno and Javier Manquillo, with hopes rising that both players could be signed in the coming days.
Ian Ayre, the Liverpool chief executive, has travelled to Spain to conclude the transfers as Brendan Rodgers continues to strengthen a squad that finished second in the Barclays Premier League last season, but which must also cope with the loss of Luis Suárez to Barcelona.
Moreno has been Liverpools main target to fill the left-back role all summer, but negotiations with Seville for the 22-year-old have proved difficult, with the Spanish club refusing to do business for anything less than £20 million.
Liverpool have been unwilling to meet that asking price, which would represent a club record for a full back, but are believed to have indicated that they would pay up to £16 million for the Spain defender.
It is understood that a breakthrough has been made on valuation in recent days, hence Ayres trip to Spain to try to bring negotiations to a successful conclusion. With José Enrique still fighting for full fitness after a knee injury, Rodgers, the manager, regards the acquisition of a high-quality left back as crucial.
Liverpool are also in the final stages of talks with Atletico Madrid as they seek to sign Manquillo, a Spain Under-20 right back, on a two-year loan deal with the option of signing him for a fee in the region of £5 million once that period has expired.
We still have some positions that we want to fill within the squad, so by the end of August well have a strong squad to go forward with. We still have some business to do, Rodgers said yesterday, but despite having made six signings already this summer, he insists that assimilating so many new recruits into his squad is not a risk. Weve brought in specific players for specific roles, players who have the profile of how we work, Rodgers said. Of course it will take them a bit more time than normal in terms of their induction, but the transition has been very smooth.
Theyre good characters with good personality who fit the criteria we want in terms of the model of our game. That should make the adjustment that bit easier. But of course some of them are young and coming from a different country like Emre Can, so that will take a little bit of time.
Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, has admitted that England need Jack Wilshere, Ross Barkley and himself to take on greater responsibility in the aftermath of Steven Gerrards retirement from international football, but believes that it will not be possible to replace the former national team captain.
If I get selected for England I will be maybe a bit older than some of the others, the Liverpool midfielder said. I have grown up with them through the under-21s, where I was captain, and I have a good relationship with them. If I am in the squad, of course I have to take more responsibility, especially with Stevie going that goes for quite a few of us.
Steven Gerrard is probably the best player this country has ever seen, so youre not going to be able to replace a player like that. What we have to do is develop the young talent coming through, and there is a lot of it.Weve got to let them go and show how good they are.
I dont think you necessarily have to fill the void left by a player like Steven.
He is a one-off. I dont think there is any player like him. He has done it consistently over so many years. But the likes of myself, Jack, Ross or whoever is in the England team need to take more responsibility, step up to the plate and take more of a leadership role if needed. The group will work on that.

Cesc counts as home grown. Your count should be okay?
JT, Cahill and Cesc of the first teamers and we have 18/19 foreign players when we can only have 17 so we need to shift some
The second Captain America is my favorite so far. Seeing GotG over the weekend.
I haven't seen the second CA, but I hated the first one.
Best Marvel movies for me:
1. The Avengers
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Ironman.
Thor 1/2 is shit. IM2 & IM3 is shit. First Captain America movie was indescribably awful.
I havent seen Cap 2 but I agree with this except for Avengers, which was transformers with super powers.
Ironman is still the best and that only gets it 80% right, the first 80%
First 30mins of Cap1 are great too, before he gets his powers.
Really good, isn't it.The second Captain America is my favorite so far. Seeing GotG over the weekend.
Completely changed my view on CA in a way that I thought wouldn't happen because he's a lame superhero like Superman.
Would take a Black Widow movie now, too.
Avengers hasn't held up that well on repeat viewing for me, but it was a lot of fun at the time.I havent seen Cap 2 but I agree with this except for Avengers, which was transformers with super powers.

Hate Shield though.

Wonderful. Ayre is going to fuck Aspas up whilst he's over there for taking shit too.

Saw that today, what an absolute bellend.
Enjoy his corners, Sevilla.

Hated the first one too. Second one is ace. Thought days of future past was really good too.

I might be the only person who didn't hate the Incredible Hulk reboot. the first hour of that movie is actually really good and was the perfect tone for a Hulk movie.
The 2008 film? I liked it, but it could've been way better.
Captain America 2 is easily the best Marvel movie for me, edging Avengers out by a little margin. Going to see Guardians of the Galaxy in a few hours, so let's see if that changes.

I know you're not including him in the foreign players number, but surely Astu is off on a loan to Everton, right? Seems like a perfect match.

He's rubbish anyway. The Ghanaian Andros Townsend.Atsu to Everton... though tbf Gus said 2 nights ago, a few hours after Sky reported he'd been allowed to talk to us, that we had no interested.
Genuinely shocked we arent further forward with a CB, of all the positions to get nailed down a CB is core, you can mess around with a CM or Wideman and slot them in but a CB needs practice, needs games with his other CB's. Any CB we get now is going to be really far behind :/
I think Atsu is shit.
Haha I vividly recall your disdain when we were linked with him last year.
I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was a fake/joke thing
looks awful
It's hard to tell what is and isn't a joke when it comes to comic book movies. I didn't grow up with any of this stuff and it all looks stupid and childish to me.
That Batman film with the joker in was alright
Tbf we could just be going about our business in a very quiet manner. But yeah, we really should've had another in by now.Genuinely shocked we arent further forward with a CB, of all the positions to get nailed down a CB is core, you can mess around with a CM or Wideman and slot them in but a CB needs practice, needs games with his other CB's.

I thought he was off to Sunderland?
Would be good for him to be at Everton though, so we can get £20m+ for him next season

Whoever was pretending to be an Orient fan a while back should probably get back into his armchair because their new Italian Sugar daddy is pumping some dosh into that club
