  1. Definitely 3D is the way to see it. I hate 3D with a passion but this film uses it superbly. Best compliment I can give it is that you simply forget you are wearing glasses and that the film is actually 3D. With most films that try to use the technology I have always felt the picture is out of focus and your attention is out of synch with what is going on around you, with this film however it is completely different. Only a couple of times so they use the whole 'shit flying out the screen to prove we are using 3D' trick but even then it adds to the film as a whole.
  2. Who needs Match.com when you can have one of these fine hotties from a Russian dating website.... Apologies
  3. Guarantee you the lesson was fucking toilet.
  4. Kane just looks like a car salesman from Texas.
  5. I know, as soon as I posted it I thought 'shit, thats not right is it?'
  6. Cracking conditions! Will watch a bit of this, see how we get on, and the United player Coote who is apparently a decent prospect.
  7. Hunger (IMDb) Had a search on this forum and a few people watched this when it was released and then shown on Film4. It is a bit like Drive in the way that it is put together, very little dialogue, lots of tense, tension building scenes and a fair few harrowing shots thrown into the mix. Probably a film that due to its political focus will may divide opinions (in certain parts of the country) but I thought it was a superb film. The fact that there is very little dialogue and that it manages to keep you fixed to the screen shows that a film can have an impact and not be filled with constant talking and stuff happening all the time. I really need to see Steve McQueen's other films, 'Shame' and his new one '12 Years a Slave' (which is meant to be brutal but amazing) 8/10
  8. Its as old as Facebook, and will have been mentioned on here dozens of times, but the number of people that simply put one word statuses like 'awful', or 'dreadful', expecting the grief merchants to latch on with the usual 'oh whats up hunny?" shite. The usual response is 'dont really wanna talk about it', oh great, attention seeking whiney arseholes. Never fails to wind me up.
  9. Either that or it is HHH as the 'devil', with Kane then joining the Wyatts given his pledging of allegiance to Steph and HHH last night. Looks like the Shield might be nearing the end so it may now be the Wyatts who step into that role.
  10. It was basically a real life version of the end of 'Little Miss Sunshine'. The reaction of one woman as it ended was hilarious.
  11. Jackass Presents - Bad Grandpa Went to see this last night after a long and tiring week at work, which helped me enjoy the movie more because it was a mind off, sit back and enjoy type of movie. I have a soft spot for Jackass as a guilty pleasure so this was right up my street. Was slow in parts and it is 'story driven' compare to the other Jackass stuff which does make the film seem a bit jilted in parts, but some proper laugh out loud sketches and pranks, the wee boy is a natural. Not a classic but a good Friday night film. 6/10
  12. Could have been a poor night, but a 0-0 away against a team at the top of the table is a decent result, the Bundesliga 2 has about six or seven teams that will all be vying for promotion and 1860 should be part of that group. The Allianz is designed in such a way that the atmosphere even with 15-20,000 is still fantastic (they lay on the facts about the angle of the stands etc during the tour), and I have been going for so long to the graveyards that are Station Park and Tannadice so to be stuck in the middle of the few thousand 1860 fans singing and jumping about non-stop for 90 mins (plus before and after) is a fantastic feeling.
  13. Yeah, and there has been big chat about moving to a purpose built stadium of about 35,000 - 40,000 I think near the older stadium in the Geising district of Munich or in Reim which is about twenty minutes east of Munich centre, but there are still lease terms to work through at the Allianz. 1860 had to give up all shares in the Allianz so own no part of it now, and have to give a ridiculous percentage of all ticket and food sales back to Bayern for every home game. We nearly went bankrupt a couple of seasons ago but seem a bit safer now, the squad is capable of getting to the Bundesliga but there has been a succession of very mediocre managers in the last five or six years.
  14. Left the day of the game just as the Mainz team were leaving for the Allianz, was hoping to sneak on their bus! The tour is always the opposite for me, its always totally Bayern orientated with no mention of 1860 at all, although this year was different to be fair, the tour guide was a Bayern season ticket holder (£130 a season, bit steep eh?!?!) and he was loving that I was an 1860 fan and because I actually wanted to ask about football and not jus take a million random pictures (I'm looking at you Japanese tourists) so got decent chat from him.
  15. Actually scrap that, what the f**k am I doing with my life that I have seen two episodes of the X-Factor in the same weekend?
  16. Speaking of the X-Factor, I watched it for a bit last night due to the girlfriend's telly request and it's on tonight again while I am cleaning my flat. The judges seem to say 'you are singing for your life out there', or 'you looked like you were signing for your life right there'. Has the X-Factor introduced some kind of ritual killings to the proceedings as a way of trying to get one over on Strictly in the ratings war? Do the acts who are voted off get killed? (I mean their careers are already dead I suppose) Also Sharon Osbourne is a mess, I am sure she is constantly off her head on something, and has Nicole Sherzinburgereggener invented her own dialect? She seems to have added a 'sh' to the beginning of every second word 'shamazing' etc.
  17. Trip was excellent thanks! 1860 training was great, but the Bayern training was cancelled unfortunately but still saw from afar their first team training. Went on the Allianz tour, I had been before and it was quiet but it was totally mobbed, must be the Champions League factor, it has definitely meant a much more 'polished' tour and they have a new Bayern museum inside the stadium which is very impressive. We did get an additional football bonus, the hotel we stay in every year was being used by the Mainz team before their game with Bayern so they were milling around on one of the evenings and said hello to a few of their team. Been to Munich on a number of occasions and I totally love it, already planned my next annual April trip to see 1860 and I can't wait! The only other sad/bizarre thing was as me and my girlfriend were walking around the Bayern training complex I told her about this kinda simple guy we had seen before at the Bayern training, maybe in his 40s, full kit, shinnies and boots. As we got round the corner to one of the fences that keeps the fans back at the ground (this is just on a public path) the same guy is getting changed into his boot, shinnies and full kit. The initial response in my head is, as should be 'full kit w****r!" but then I started to feel bad because this same guy, a guy we have randomly seen over the space of like three or four years, must turn up almost every day, watch the Bayern training behind this fence and then go home, sad life.
  18. The number of twee, ballady, acousticy versions of upbeat 80s and 90s tracks used by advertisers, usually vocalised by a smokey, lightly hushed female vocalist, can't go two adverts without hearing one of those dreadful cover versions that are ultimately lapped up by the masses and housewives and will be the soundtrack to Xmas dinners up and down the country shortly. Horrific stuff. Please stop.
  19. Got a game this morning but straight after that I am off to Munich for a week with the girlfriend. First time I will be going and not getting an 1860 game but did get in tough with the club and I am going to their training ground on Thursday to get shown round and hopefully meet some players! (I'm also ashamed to admit this as an 1860 fan but I am also going to one of Bayern's public training sessions...)
  20. Paul Paton - Dundee United Russell Martin - Norwich City
  21. Not exactly about the show but Richard Osman wrote a decent piece for the Guardian. He is a very funny guy, very sharp too if you have ever seen him on any panel shows. He seems to have written a book with Richard about pointless arguments, here he tells us about 100 things you don't need to do before you die. He also seems to have a big soft spot for our own west coast as he announces you should "forget Machu Picchu; the sunset on the west coast of Scotland is as beautiful as any you'll see in the world, and it's really nearby." Top dude.
