  1. I only found out today BrewDog have a pub in Birmingham. Not sure how long it's been open. Might have a few Tactical Nuclear Penguins before the Wigan game.

     

    They stock some good drinks but unless you are sporting a goatee and glasses you might feel out of place in there.

  2. I've never used any Xbox live services and only recently got live to play halo 4 online, up to that point I coped fine with offline play thank you very much.

    I'm gettin a bit sick of Microsoft telling me exactly what I want, it's supposed to work the other way round you idiots!

  3. Watched the bluray of Django last night, 2nd viewing of the film.

    Just like Inglorious I enjoyed it more on the 2nd viewing.

    What a brilliant film, di Caprio is excellent and waltz is also amazing again.

  4. Watched The Hobbit the other night. It was like stepping into some warm and comfortable slippers. Nothing really amazing about it, but entertaining, beautiful to look at, and just nice to experience Middle Earth again.

     

    Couldn't agree more, which is why I didn't mind the running time in the end.

  5. Agreed about dredd, the film is hardly a revelation but its so rare to get a main character who basically kicks ass and nothing else. No pointless romance, no watering down to a 12a rating, 3d was actually ok in the cinema.

    Basically an enjoyable film, shame it won't be getting a follow up.

  6. Watched the 1080 version of the hobbit last night.

    Really enjoyed it actually, thought the effects were superb and I like martin freemans comic relief over Elijah woods character. Thought the general cast were better than Lotr as well, some I the characters didn't really get any screen time but I still knew who everyone was.

    8/10 for me

  7. When I get a paper it will be the sun, keeps me up to date with the sport, and any major news. I don't particularly care about foreign affairs or what the stock market is like in Asia.Really don't give two tosses if someone looks down on me for buying the sun, it's still a better paper than its equivalent the mirror.

    Surely the Internet does all that already? The only reason I can see for buying a newspaper these days is to be entertained or intrigued. In what way, shape or form is the Sun "entertainment"?

    I don't buy it religiously because I can just get on the net, I was going to buy a paper then it would either be the sun or the racing post.

    Makes me laugh how people that would never buy the sun or read it still seem to be fully clued up about how shit it is.

  9. I understand the criticism of certain things but that's Top Gear, if you want something else then you are essentially looking for a different show, thought it was a good episode and looking forward to some of the stuff they showed in the opening clip later in the series.

  10. Wouldn't Pulp Fiction qualify as his "masterpiece"?

    For a lot of people yes but not for me personally. His best film for me is Inglorious but from the first half of django I honestly thought it was going to top it.

  11. Totally agree with this, from the first half of the film I thought this is going to be tarantinos masterpiece but by the end it was still an amazing film although I probably like inglorious a little bit more. Still a 9/10 film for me

    Watched Django Unchained last night. Typical Tarantino drawing on spaghetti westerns, spolitation movies. First haldf is superb, really fizzes by. Second half when they get to Calvin Candie's, slows the pace down, It's marverlloualy ovcer the top in places, average in others, utterly brilliant in other parts. Jamie Foxx gives a real intensity and underlying, understandable hatred to Django, while Christopher Waltz is an absolute joy as Dr Shultz. DiCaprio is fast becoming a fave actor of mine, he utterly relishes being the baddie with his portraylo of Calvin Candie, while Sam Jackaons Simon is loathsome. I loved it.
