  1. Watched a couple of documentary films recently that were both terrific. King of Kong, a story about one mans (Steve Wiebe) quest to break the record for arcade style Donkey Kong. and Chasing Ghosts, a story about the rise of competitive gaming in the US from the late 70s to mid 80s. More details see wiki pages. Both were really enjoyable though, a real life look at people's lifes and how competitive life is. The King of Kong Chasing Ghosts Anybody on here seen either film?
  2. Goodfellas was on ITV4 last night and is always a treat. No doubt it will be doing the rounds on ITV 2/3/4 for the next few weeks, if you get a chance see it.
  3. Had pub lunch up at The Traders Arms in Mellor on Saturday. As solid as ever. I had a lovely BLT sarnie, although my uncle's cheese and onion pie looked amazing!
  4. I thought Quantum was a very poor film. Basically no storyline just Bond trawling the globe and killing people before he gets to know any information. Plus Bond needs gadgets (Although, I agree, not an invisible car!!) and girls. Thats part of the charm of the movie. Daniel Craig was wooden as well in QoS after being quite likeable in Casino Royale. In other news Shrek 4 trailer looks good, hope its a fitting end to a decent franchise. Shrek 1 and 2 are great films. What is Hot Tub Time Machine like? Looked really funny on the trailers, although I've heard mixed reports.
  5. For Robin Hood watch Prince of Thieves!! Not a massive Russell Crowe fan to be fair, but this seems an attempt to make the character a bit more gritty and menacing, ala The Dark Knight and Casino Royale. The growing trend of everything trying to be like the Bourne trilogy is getting tiresome, characters like James Bond need to be suave and slightly corny not menacing and rigid.
  6. Leeds sang all the way through the minutes silence for Matt Busby. I remember Gordon Strachan (a Leeds player at the time) shaking his head in disgust.
  7. Tell him he can join the Hammers at 15:01 on Saturday afternoon.
  8. I have always liked Benni, but, I think its time he moved on. He has harboured for a move for a while now, and given his age and temperament, £2.5m - £3m is good business for Rovers. Rovers are clearly trying to lower the average age of the squad and with youngsters like Kalinic and Olsson coming through they deserve a chance to shine. A 32 year old with limited motivation and little or no pace is only going one way.
  9. I was similarly un moved, however I flicked around and ended up watching the Athletic Bilbao Europa League match on ITV 4, and it was a really good game. Bilbao where terrific to watch and have plenty of skill, pace, movement and refreshingly a home grown team of players born local and playing for the name on the front of the shirt rather than the back. They demolished a poor side, but unlike Liverpool, they did it with style, creativity and flair. If you get a chance to watch them then do. They are like Arsenal but without the nasty streak. Also, I believe I saw a future star, 16 year old Iker Muniain (Maybe he's known to the FM lot?) he was outstanding. A second striker who was a cross between Xavi and Arshavin, took his goal very well and generally impressed from start to finish. Remember the name IKER MUNIAIN
  10. Anyone seen GI Joe yet? Any film with Sienna Miller in tight black clothing cant be too bad! Also want to see Bruno
  11. Spread Eagle at Sawley is a great restaurant. I go every year for a christmas meal there, and its never let me down. If you go try the English classics desert, you get a mini apple pie and ice cream, a mini trifle, mini strawberry mouse and something else, plus when yours arrives everyone else will be jealous.
  12. Thanks Andre. Best of luck back in Holland, look forward to seeing you again in South Africa.
  13. As much as I dont like Chelsea or Drogba, no one can deny they were hard done too. Hope United can beat Barcelona.
  14. I think Barca will come un stuck v Chelsea. I'd have backed all the English clubs to beat Bayern who are in disarray at the moment. A repeat of Moscow for me, with Guus signing off with FA Cup and Champions League honours.
  15. Went to the Emporium in Clitheroe last night, was ok. Good food, average menu, poor service. Glad I've been, but a tad expensive! Probably leave it a while til I go again. Has anyone been to Piccolino's in Clitheroe? (opposite the Emporium)
  16. Watched Madgascar 2 the other night, and just like the first film, its a nice way to spend 90 mins. 7/10
  17. With Santa on his way Im after some advice. Call of Duty World at War (360) Out of 10? Tomb Raider (new one) (360) Out of 10? GTA IV (360) Out of 10? Madden 09 (360/Wii) Out of 10? Best game on PC, Wii or 360? Game of the year? Bear in mind, I usually stick to sports games, and rarely play online. I did enjoy Call of Duty for the GC though.
  18. Best gig of all time for me. Bloc Party last December (ten days before christmas) at the Manchester GMEX. They are a great band, as good live as on a CD and the crowd was excellent.
  19. Will those who booed McCarthy on Saturday not come to the Arsenal game please. Totally un-neccessary!
  20. Just back from Batman, wow what a film. Ledger and Eckhart's performances are sensational.
  21. Anybody seen the Dark Knight yet? or Wall-E? I'm hoping to go see them sometime this week.
  22. The Dark Knight still looks awesome. To be honest though still haven't watched Batman Begins! Indiana Jones is out 22nd May so two weeks on Thursday!
