  • Gotta say, a ManU attack that includes Fernandes, Cunha, Mbeumo, and Amad sounds formidable.

  • Is there a little bit of Apocalypse Now in Spectre? Just an observation from a recent viewing of Apocalypse Now: Final Cut (2019). Hear me out ... In Spectre, during the hotel room scene in Tangier, Madeleine is slightly drunk and lying on …

  • Just as an experiment I asked DeepSeek AI to evaluate the early price reveals mentioned above. It responded as follows, in less time than it took me to process the first lines of information: Here’s an evaluation of the four officially revealed F…
  • The first FPL price reveals: • Alexander Isak (FWD) £10.5m [overpriced?] • Florian Wirtz (MID) £8.5m [no idea, too many intangibles] • Rayan Ait-Nouri (DEF) £6.0m [about right, I'd say] • Jordan Pickford (GKP) £5.5m[about right, I'd say]
  • Marcel Carné’s Le jour se lève (1939) As proto-noir as it gets. With the bummer-est of all bummer endings. Caught an outdoors screening tonight at Montreal's 'Film Noir au Canal'. Last week they played The Third Man. Jean Gabin’s trapped (l…
  • I grew up at around the time that Bruce Lee and "Kung-fu" movies [and even a TV show by that name] were a big thing in North America. So much so, that for a week in 1973 the top 3 movies at the box office were all Hong Kong films or International co…

  • Saturday Night Fever Seeing it again really surprised me. It's not some Hollywood fantasy. The thing that really stands out today is its fairly gritty, working-class aesthetic and raw depiction of Brooklyn life in the 1970s. And to that extent it…
  • Rated with annotations, not ranked ... 1998 August 32nd on Earth / * [unseen] 2000 Maelström / A- A darkly absurdist, oddly poetic tale of love & existential dread in contemporary Montreal. Narrated by a talking fish, no less. 2009 Pol…
  • Broccoli said Bond should remain big-event cinema. Villeneuve's nothing if not that.

  • If you loved Craig, you'll love Villeneuve ... Bond, en mode full existentiel, qui drop des monologues sur le temps, la trahison pis le désert!

  • Garnacho told to find new club .... Florian Wirtz to Liverpool .... maybe. For an eye-watering $125,000,000, apparently. My own FPL season was generally poor. Too many high risk moves didn't pay off, especially in the last few GWs. I also held…
  • Half expecting another of the owner's on field meltdowns at the City Ground should Forest lose .... Grealish didn't even make the bench for Guardiola, expect he'll be off in the summer.
