Have you seen it? Id love to hear your thoughts. I remember Kermode saying people walked out of the viewing he was in, not because they thought it was bad, but because they needed to get away from the oppressive atmosphere.
I've watched everything Ben Wheatley has done since watching it (apart from The Meg 2 lol). He's hit and miss, but when he's good he's very good.
(Yes I know Louis CK is very unlikely to be broke)
Posted this on the "Cocaine" thread when it moved to psychedelics. Long, but fantastic story telling, with a great payoff at the end
Don't know what my favorite Taylor Tomlinson sketch is, but she's very funny. Just a very natural and likeable way about her, having basically grown up doing stand up. Her crowd work is arguably the best in the business. This interaction always make me laugh.
Can't not have Bill Hicks on here. His Sane Man tour was a high point for me. Used to spend hours watching clips of Bill Hicks and Doug Stanhope on Kevin Booth's Sacred Cow website in the old days of the internet
Does anyone remember the thread on here where we wrote a story in the style of Steve Bruce's murder mystery novels. That style being ludicrous grandiosity followed by explaining what he'd just said in a patronizing tone.
I couldn't say which poster just reminded me of it.
It's been the case the last few times he's played I think. I only watched from about 35 mins onwards , but I was begging Stephan to make the Hayden change from early in the second half as midfield looked completely lost.
I don't recall his passing being this amiss last season?
Edit: just seen Brian's post above. Once again it is clear that I know nothing 🤦♂️
Maybe it's that he's misplaced a few passes this season that have been real clangers and so which stood out
I really resonated with Clive's description of people staring blankly at the pitch at FT, someone had also posted about it on the message board. It's more than just disbelief I think, it's processing the terrible meaning of what's just unfolded. I was only watching on the stream, so didn't even have to deal with the full force of it in my face. Mind you, i watched a funeral of a friend via a stream last year because I was overseas, and then the stream ended and i was on my own, when all i wanted was to go and have a cry in the pub with my mates. But anyway.
This is daft and overblown I know (it's never stopped me before) but there's a genuine trauma response to stuff like the injury time fiasco on Saturday. It kind of confirms and validates the internalized fears and beliefs that there is just something wrong with this stupid club - The Curse ((c) Bruce).
All supporters of every club think theirs has perfected the art of ruining their life, but we know that the awful truth is that no other club is as bewitched by farce and humiliation as ours.
Someone should actually do some kind of analysis to see where on the frequency distribution of inexplicable implosions QPR sit - I'd love to see it - but it doesn't have any bearing on the reality of the trauma because trauma doesn't deal in statistics, and the trauma is real.
Agree about Sinners, I didn't love it but admired how well made it is, some beautiful shots, and the use of music is excellent.
Edit: I need to watch this film again because so many people who's opinions I respect really rated it, and on the face of it it's a film that couldn't be any more my jam
It's a shame it was Leicester he went to, because it doesnt really tell us much about how good he is or isn't. As others have said, bit of a basket case club, squad full of player who think they're above the position they find themselves etc... Not an enviable job, and probably better suited to a more hardass no nonsense manager.
Id guess he'll move overseas somewhere off the back of this, meaning we'll likely never see him have another crack at a comparable club in the championship and so never properly resolve the question of So Was Martí Actually Good Or What?
I don't know anything about this guy, and can't remember where I came across it. But I fricking love it. Something about the lo-fi production combined with a really solid low end, and the simple fragility of the vocals. But I'm also totally aware that it's quite shit and cheesy! Sometimes that hits the spot though.
Sat listening to this in my car now, which has a decent subwoofer. Skip it to 2m30s to see what I mean, lovely vocal break followed a really gratifying bass drop.
I do a bit of DJing sometimes, and have been tempted to play it as an end-of-setter, but never had the nerve. Would need to be at a high emotion point, perhaps after 10 hours as the sun comes up 😂
Re Burrell, Dave Mc says on the WLS pod that Obikwu was originally lined up for the summer, so I wonder whether the plan was to sell Burrell then and hopefully repeat the trick with him.
Burrell's injury is doubly unfortunate in that regard, and highlights the damage that running him in to the ground has potentially done to the business model. Although I guess the counter argument is that we just haven't had anyone on the bench to replace him. Football: tricky business.
The argument against three at the back has always been that we've got a squad full of midget tens... But at this point with the players available that's a less compelling argument, and would resolve the LB issue.
So yeah I could totally see sense in say Mbengue and Smyth as wing backs, three from Field, Morgan, Varane and Madsen in CM.
