Is it just me or is Labour picking up only 38.8% of Tory losses at present actually not an impressive performance from the other main party in English politics?
They've spent the past few years committing to nothing in order to coast in once the Tories had pissed off literally everybody, which they now have. There's nothing to vote for. It would be grimly amusing if they didn't get a majority because the only thing they'd commit to was supporting genocide.

It's easy to think that the obsession with Farage's crew(s) is purely because the press is owned by wealthy far-right scumbags who can't wait to benefit from fascism in the UK. For organisations like the BBC, I think they're looking at a picture that most of us won't get to see - Farage has enough financial backing that they figure it's only a matter of time before his party(s) become important.
Half the councillors that George fucking Galloway managed is a hilarious result though.

Aye. Please God, not this again. It surely doesn't matter, because there's no chance that Steve Clarke or the team will have this attitude, but how many times has our record against a "free hit" bitten us on the arse.
All this tactical "we should look for a draw against the Swiss then try to beat Hungary" stuff is just awful too. We'd be as well with Craig Levein back in charge.

Inexplicable. We're so normal.

I can't handle 3d at all, maybe it's an age thing and you're deteriorating early. Last time I walked out after 30 minutes, but it was partly James Cameron's obsession with American military hardware in which was supposed to be about an alien world, full of wonders.
No, it's the third Jaws film we're talking about - I would've been about five years old at the time and didn't even need spectacles. Those were the days.
It surprises me whenever someone mentions seeing a film in 3D recently, as I'm pretty sure all the cinemas in the Forth Valley are 2D-only again. Think the last film I saw in 3D was Pompeii in 2014, and I've been choosing to believe that killed the format.

I feel as if there should be a picture of the officer in question holding up a scarf in front of an empty stand.
There's a really weird self-congratulatory tone to those Tweets, like the polis are looking for a sweetie for sacking a child abuser and not having him cover a few shifts 'til they found a replacement.

The thing to note with all this chat about 3 points being enough for a best third place side ignores the fact that it could also potentially be possible to finish 2nd (or 4th) with 3 points in a group like ours. If Germany ended up winning all their games (albeit this is unlikely I think), and then us, Switzerland and Hungary trade wins, then it would come down to the head-to-head table across these matches.
Also possible to finish second with two points if we can come to a shitfesting agreement with the Swiss and Magyars. Hell, we could finish top with three draws if Ze Germans go back to being as duff as they've been for the past few years.
f**k it - it's about time someone won one of these tournaments without winning a single game, and if it's going to be anyone, it'll be...well, TBH, probably the Swiss.

I've never watched it but I believe it may be some sort of Red Dwarf crossover?
I'd watch a show where someone's murdered and The Cat doesn't give a shit until he realises it's the guy with the keys to the kitchen, then becomes deeply invested in finding the keys. Uhh, I mean, "finding the killer".
Not sure anyone would have the costume budget to do it justice, though.

The 3D-ification of Jaws turned out alright. I'd have preferred it in 2D on IMAX but missed that showing. I also saw Jaws 3D when I was a wee boy, in Cinema 2 at the ABC in Falkirk, IIRC, and the 3D wasn't working but they still gave us the glasses. Utter shite.
How strange; there was something up with the 3D in the Jaws 3D showing that I went to hundreds of miles away. I ended up just watching it mostly without the glasses, which looked like shit but at least didn't hurt my eyes.
Makes me wonder if it just always looked terrible, even in 3D.

That first article seems to suggest that initially a majority were in favour? Less clubs, more piece of the pie? Scottish football has always been about self interest hasn't it, imagine if all owners ran their clubs for the benefits of football and supporters
Predatory behaviour.

Inspired by this post.
Give us your examples of characters explaining the events of the film/series to you, for no reason other than the people making it think you're a thicko, or were too lazy to come up with a way to show you what's going on. I'm going to expand this out a little to include times when characters suddenly start delivering dialogue that doesn't sound like something they'd say (lifetime achievement award for Quentin Tarantino on that one).
An infamous one was the first Suicide Squad film, where the audience is told multiple times that the antagonist is vulnerable when her heart is removed (stay with me) then, when her heart is removed during the climactic battle, the action is interrupted so one of the characters can tell the audience that, yes, her heart has in fact been removed, and thus the team are now able to defeat her. And it's by no means the only example from that film (here's this new character; they're a total badass and have special powers. No, you certainly can't ever see any evidence of this).

London Has Fallen.
I know, it serves me right, but I saw the cast and felt a bit of hope that it wouldn't be dire. It was fucking dreadful and I quit half way through. It's a profoundly stupid movie in which every person in it is stupid and the plot feels like it was written by a child. There's a terrorist attack in London which wipes out the leaders of some very important countries (but not the UK and US, hoorah). All the police present are apparently involved. Why? No idea. The motivation for it seems to have been a drone killing of a Pakistani wedding. Quite why white English police officers would suddenly decide to participate in a kamikaze revenge attack isn't explained. Where the rest of the Metropolitan Police are after this, with baddies coming out of every side street as the President and his Bodyguards escape, isn't entirely clear.
It's terrible and the script is worse. Morgan Freeman just takes whatever work is going, it seems. He must have Nicolas Cage type debts.
Yeah, the first one was similarly blockheaded yet still managed to be entertaining, mainly through being part of an alien genre that seems ludicrous to anyone who isn't American, containing a worldview and paranoia that plays purely to a US audience (they've made more than one blockbuster film about being conquered by North Korea, FFS). "Profoundly stupid" is an excellent descriptive term for it. This one was just dull though, and suffered badly from not being set in the fantasy world of Fox News America.
Edit: Morgan Freeman might just be one of those jobbing actors like Donald Pleasance and Christopher Lee who remembered the days when the work wasn't rolling in and didn't turn down work as a matter of habit.
2 hours ago, Scorge said:Also saw Tarot this afternoon - bread and butter painting by numbers jump scare horror film that has the most obscene amount of Basil Exposition I think I've ever seen in a film, and a last 20 minutes with plot holes big enough to drive a bus through. It's watchable, but not much more than that.
I think excessive, lazy exposition needs its own thread - one of the things that annoys me most about a film is when a character suddenly explains the plot, especially when there's no logical reason to know/concisely grasp the events they're summarising. Godzilla x Kong was full of it, presumably because the makers figured everyone's brains were so checked out that difficult concepts like "the monkey is in this place now!" might have zoomed right over our heads.

Bottom of the table Stranraer v top of the table Stenhousemuir is the key match.
Stranraer MUST win if they want to avoid the "club 42" tag.
Nah, Elgin v Clyde is where it's at. Clyde win and it's game over.
...unless Forfar and Stranraer both race off into early leads

Really annoys me more than it should, like people calling McDonald's 'Maccie Dees', people like this should just be fucking killed.
'Chuggets' sounds like...something else

Rangers wanted 2 divisions of 16 back as had operated until 1955 (when C Division was abolished and a Scottish Reserve League began).To get around supermajorities they proposed winding-up SFL then immediately forming a new league with 5 'smallest' clubs excluded (not bottom 5 clubs: they'd actually finished 8th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 15th out of 19 in 1963-64).
At a secret meeting of 'the 32' threats were made to 10 more - Alloa, Arbroath, Ayr, Cowdenbeath, Dumbarton, East Fife, Montrose, Queen's Park, Raith and Stirling Albion - that some of them might find themself 'swapped' for the 5 if voted against.It does rather make you wonder about the content of all those informal discussions before the annual attempts to shoehorn their reserves into the pyramid.
