    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    in TV and Film Forum

    Posted

    Men, Woman & Children. A film based around the love lives of 4 or 5 different couples. Adam Sandler, Jennifer Garner and Dean Norris being the biggest names in the film along with that young guy who is in everything just now. You know the one.

    Really enjoyed it - was surprised to read online that it's not had good reviews as it's quiet a solid film. I'd give it a 6.5/10.

    Pleased to say I'm doing my bit for Suicide Prevention Day. Haven't killed myself at all yet today.

    A couple of people have posted this -

    "Couldn't come at more approved time. Suicide Prevention week. 6-12th Sept.

    We all need prayers right now. If I don't see your name I'll understand. May I ask my family and friends wherever you might be, to kindly copy and paste this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all of those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just needs to know that somebody cares? Do it for all of us for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my family and friends just for moral support. I know some will!!!!! I did it for a friend and you can too. You have to copy and paste this one, NO sharing!!!!"

    Now I hate these things anyway but ignoring the subject matter itself why only for an hour? Why just copy and paste?

    Have changed my tactics over the last weekend. Instead of doing massive accumulators I've followed some tipsters online and put on a pile of small bets which mostly came in. Was literally down to about £5 in my mcbookie account so thought I'd see how high I can get.

    Midtylland & Rosenborg (draw no bet)

    £2.57 returned £3.14

    Basel v Zurich (Over 1.5 goals)

    Aalborg v Randers (Over 1.5 goals)

    Midtylland v Hobro (Over 0.5 goals)

    Elfsborg v Sundsvall (Over 1.5 goals)

    Tromso v Rosenborg (Over 1.5 goals)

    Staebak v Odd (Over 1.5 goals)

    Swansea v Man Utd (Over 0.5 goals)

    £1.97 returned £5.43

    Porto, Benfica & Bayern Munich - £2.00 returned £3.72

    Aberdeen, Dunfermline & Man City - £5.00 returned £15.25

    Cork to score 1st goal v Galway (Friday night) - £2.00 returned £3.00

    Quite chuffed even though I was a pussy and only put small amounts on. Steady increase though. Not in the same league as others on here but I'm claiming it as a win :lol:

    Continuing in the same form as above - small bets and trying to see how far I can build it up. Started with below a £5 and now worked my way up to just shy of £25 (bloody Iceland drawing with Kazakhstan knocked me down from £30.00).

    Dunfermline, Rangers & Dumbarton - £5 treble. Cashed out at half time (thankfully!) and won £7.84

    Spain, Montenegro & Austria - £1.88 won £3.45

    Chile - £0.45 won £0.71 (bored one night and rounded to the nearest pound)

    Double Flower FA - in play bet. £7.00 won £9.00.

    Over 2.5 goals Airdrie v Cowden - £1.56 on £2.34 back

    Under 5.5 goals - Australia v Bangladesh. Another in play - it was 4-0 at half time when I put this on and I meant to put over 5.5 :lol: £1 on £10 back.

    Few losses as well but overall it's a steady increase. If Iceland had beaten Kazakhstan I'd be up around £35.00. b*****ds.

    Played a few more games last night. First 2 matches as Arsenal I was up against Dortmund. Lost both matches but one game nearly saw my controller go through my tv :lol:

    Firstly a long through ball sees Koscielny suddenly lose all ability to sprint and is outpaced by the striker. No worries though as my keeper is coming out to hoof the ball away. Next thing is the ball has bounced off my keeper into the Dortmund striker, back past the keeper and it's a simple tap in for the striker. That made it 1-1 but I was still calm.

    80th minute and out of nowhere I manage to slip Sanchez away thanks to a lovely reverse pass. I get into the box, round the keeper who basically rugby tackles Sanchez to the ground. Nothing given.

    87th minute - similar to the first incident in that a through ball sees my keeper coming out for the ball against the Dortmund striker (is it Ramos? Very pacey). Striker gets there first and shoots - ball smacks GK legs and flies away. The players collide and a free kick given for some reason against me. Curled into the top corner and I lose 2-1.

    Thankfully I then went on a 5 game winning streak which saw me avoid relegation and start the next season unbeaten. Then I faced Valencia and basically got hammered the whole match. The other guy had chance after chance but couldn't score. I took an undeserved lead through Walcott at a corner but then let in 2 goals in the final 5 minutes. Heart breaking but couldn't complain as I didn't deserve a thing!

    Things that annoy or delight you on the telly right now

    I persevered with one of these trashy US reality shows -"Millionaire Matchmaker". The idea is that halfwit guys who have made a squillion quid from jobs that are of no real merit to the world ("real estate" or some psycho babble stuff for similarly insecure tossers like them) employ a dating agency to help them get a chick. Invariably the guys are social inadequates who have, by some cruel twist of fate, got loads of cash to compensate for their other deficiencies, and they get set up with a gaggle of gorgeous women who want to marry a millionaire, almost irrespective of how much of a tosser he is. You end up wanting to punch the screen.

    Summed up perfectly but made a must see by some of the woman on it. If only I had an extra £100 mill in the bank.

    The Great British Bake Off

    Gutted that Sandy's away.

    Three weeks in a row Ian has got star baker now. Can't see anyone beating him.

    He seems to be the only one who doesn't ever get stressed! He must practice his bakes a lot during the week as he never seems flustered.

    I disagree though about Sandy. Never liked her at all. Was delighted when Matt's cheesecakes were perfect. Would love for him or Flora or Tamal to win but can only see Ian doing it just now.

    Played my first online seasons games in a few weeks yesterday. Infuriating isn't the word. Arsenal are my team but seriously considering changing after the rage they induced yesterday :lol:

    Rage #1 - First game - playing Man Utd and winning 2-1 as we approach 'Fergie' time in the second half. Rooney hits a trundler of a shot from the edge of the area which even my Gran could save. For some strange reason Koscielny decides to take matters into his own hands and try and block the 'shot' which sees the ball deflect off him, up in the air and perfectly to Van Persie to scissor kick into the top corner. A game I dominated taken away from me in the final seconds. Kicked off and didn't get out the centre circle before the full time whistle went.

    Rage #2 + #3 - Second game - playing against PSG this time. I'm winning 1-0 as we approach half time when Aaron Ramsay somehow miscontrols a simple pass. Not to fear though as a great tackle from Gibbs sees the ball roll back to Ramsay who somehow miscontrols the ball again. The winger then charges up the pitch and scores a curling shot in off the post. This game would also finish 2-2 mainly thanks to Danny Welbeck managing to slip with the goal gaping. How could this get any worse?

    Rage #4 - Third game - Arsenal v Holland. A match that I dominate with about 10 more shots (8 more on target) than my opponent. Think at the end of the game Tim Krul had made 13 saves and my keeper had made 3. Full time score? 2-3. The winning goal saw a deflected free kick spin towards the corner of the box where Robben (who had scored a bullet header from a corner earlier) headered the ball firmly through a crowd of players and across the keeper into the far corner from just outside the box. Literally never seen anything like it in Fifa before.

    Rage #5 - Fourth game - Arsenal v Liverpool. Finally I start to get the rewards my play deserves! 3-0 up after 18 minutes and the guy quits. Couldn't let me enjoy my moment!

    I'm going back to Sonic after that.

    I will apologise to her immediately and start looking for flights. Hopefully it's not the last one in Utah...

    My girlfriend was out for tea with a few of her mates last night as one of them just got a job down South and is moving away this weekend.

    I asked before where it was she was moving to (cause I'm a caring guy and all that) and she couldn't remember the name.

    Last night she comes back and I ask again hoping it'll be a city with decent night life if we ever go to visit.

    "Um. Lincoln. Wait hold on - is that a place?"

    "Yeh...."

    "I knew it started with an L - knew it wasn't Leeds or Liverpool though. I thought Lincoln was in America to be honest"

    " :huh: "

    I ended up having to explain that the Lincoln mentioned here is a city in England and not the former American President.

    In fairness to her I am positive there will be a town/city in USA called Lincoln....

    Still Game quotes

    The one that always sticks in my mind is the first episode I ever watched. Naveed's brother dies so he's away for the funeral so Jack and Victor are running the shop.

    There customer service is second to none - Jack not even needing to ask customers if they'd like a bag and then Victor completing the shopping experience by running and opening the door for the customer.

    Then in comes a fella to buy a magazine called Big Cocks. There's two great lines - Victors "indeed I would not" when Jack asks if he'd like to open the door for him and then after the customer leaves Victor says "Dirty b*****d".

    Will never forget that scene. Need to start watching the box sets again.

    The Guest - I'm presuming the writers of this film imagined the ending of the film and then just built a story around that. Essentially Dan Stevens plays a former soldier who is basically a f**ked up Jason Bourne.

    The ending is just mental but how on Earth would a school allocate that much funds to a halloween party? :lol:

    7/10 - just utter rubbish but good entertainment with some good one-liners. Well acted.

    Inside Out - after reading all the good reviews I headed along to see this. Lived up to the hype - very smart (possibly too smart for kids) and funny enough to be enjoyable.

    Imagination World immediately had me thinking about South Park - wasn't as good as those episodes sadly!

    Bing Bong though. I just don't know what to say about him!

    7/10.

    Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

    The women in here are the worst c***s for this. Our boxes of paper are kept directly above our office on a mezzanine and every single woman who notices there's no paper will dingy it until a guy goes upstairs and brings a box down. Earlier this morning one woman actually stood at the printer and said "does anyone know if there's any paper for this?", which is a shitebag way of saying "can someone go and get some paper because I'm a fucking weakling c**t who can't be arsed walking up 10 stairs to get the fucking paper". Kick in the pie, hen.

    I'd almost understand if it was a long walk to the paper. However the printer sits in front of 2 filing cabinets that are back to back and on top of it is about 10 packets of paper. It's almost as if because they are still in the wrapping that they don't realise it's paper.

    Thank Christ it's Friday.

    Must be in a bad mood today as I've been pissed off a few times at work already!

    People who never top the printer up with paper. There's a printer here which about 40 people are all linked to and I think I'm the only one who ever tops the paper up. Today 2 folk walked up to it, saw it had no paper so simply walked away! The fecking paper is literally behind the printer. Arseholes.

    One of my many managers was using my computer to double check some work. He had to type in a password and had to ask me "is the caps lock on?" Look at the bloody keyboard!
