The most gender polarising film I have witnessed (haven't actually watched it myself) was Amelie.
I happened to walk past the Ritzy in Brixton as the audience exited. Almost entirely consisting of cis het couples every woman was beaming with joy and every man looked like he'd been in the trenches.
The above has reminded me.
Quantum of Solace.
I definitely watched the entire thing when the then girlfriend. We definitely both thought it was terrible, without ever being terrible enough to be amusing. Just couldn't understand how they made such a poor film with the cast, budget etc...
Thanks for the reminder. I shall watch Jacob's ladder again, rather enjoyed it first time around.
Didn't get the same fuss made about it as a later "he was dead all along" film.
I can see us bringing him in for a look and then loaning him back to them for a years PL acclimatisation.
Might have been pretty much the plan just with a different club until Sunderland won.
That happened to some friends of mine, though from 3 doors down.
When the loss adjuster came to look at the damage to their house he was just finishing up when he looked out the back window and helpfully asked if they also wanted to claim for the wrecked shed. So they did.
Well yes I'd swap 8th for 17th and a European trophy.
Though I don't have enough points to have got to any European away days so it would have been a rubbish session watching us in the league.
I tried getting up myself but in all honesty it's neither big enough nor bendy enough. Let alone both...
I would think so.
Knowing an event at the terrace is far from sold out would actually make me more likely to go. I've got older and I'm not paying for any event where I might not get a seat, or get a bad seat. In fact even if it's free there's a fair chance I'll give it a miss if I can't...
You are familiar with The Great Hunger? I know we laughably call it the potato famine and blame it on potato blight in this country.
Plus you know, stealing the land and putting immigrants on it.
Balls to them.
Firstly they've not just this second won it. They've already had two matches with a guard of honour. One is enough, celebrate at your home ground all you like, have the open top bus and all that jazz but continually going away and getting fawned over? f*** that.
Second it could...
I thought their rotation of players was working against us. There was real hunger about them that I suspect may have been missing with the full complement of Billy big bollocks on the pitch.
Saw him warming up and had to look up who he was.
Shortly after Dunky ran down the line with a big grin on his face to tell the boy he was going on and took him back to the dugout with his arm round him. Nice bit of off pitch captaincy.
That was a marvelous bit of skill and vision. Did a very similar scooped pass second half to help convince unbelievers it was intentional.
Also after the early penalty appeal he noticeably tried to stay on his feet. Intelligent enough to play to the ref rather than keep going down easily.
On the other hand if he's aware of an offer that will triple his wages and guarantees that for several years does he want to risk getting an injury and spending next season rehabbing on current wages and leaving a season later on a lesser contract?
Well we don't know what other options there were, or what level Ferg would have accepted a loan at.
Still he might take his lumps and do an Ayari. Which would be nice.
