  1. I think 2010-2019 was a weak decade for film with the exception of comic book movies. I'd take 2000-2009 and 1990-1999 straight away over the last decade.
  2. Thanks for the recommendations. Cheers, @caley for reminding me about The Lego Movie (2014). Pretty confident that will make mine. Haven't seen the sequel. The Lego Batman Movie (2017) could go either way. As of right now, it won't be there. Speaking of recommendations, Shaun the Sheep Movie (2015) from the team behind Wallace and Gromit. It's very funny and I'll be voting for it. There's a sequel called A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon out last year. I've not seen it but would like to having said what I thought about the predecessor.
  3. @OctopusCinema: Carol (2015) is on my first time viewings list.
  4. Two first time watches for this project over the past two days I've wanted to see for a while: Nightcrawler (2014) will make my final ballot, a film that looks at the media from how grisly news footage is acquired to ethics, and lack thereof. I was taken aback at how sinewy Gyllenhaal is, unlikeable too. Surprised he didn't pick up an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Snowpiercer (2013) .You know when you invest in something and then the last third/ending feels flat to you, more so as you've invested that time leading up to it? That's how I felt about the third act of Snowpiercer. Did it undo what came before it? Can you still vote for something on the last 75% and not the last part? Hmmm. There's an eerie start to it seeing "The Weinstein Company". Never liked Harvey and even less now for what he was found guilty of this year. The bastard.
  5. I vaguely remember something getting cancelled in MMA on this day and I had to stress it wasn't an April Fools. Was it a Khabib/Ferguson cancellation or somebody getting injured on Fight Week? Thanks?
  6. Well it's WrestleMania weekend so let's start with some WrestleMania GIFS:
  7. WrestleMania weekend so... In my opinion, the three best matches in WrestleMania history are. 1. Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13, 2. Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart from WrestleMania X and 3. The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels, WrestleMania XXV.
  8. Well it's WrestleMania week but it doesn't feel like a WrestleMania due to what's happening in the world with the coronavirus crisis. Stay safe NDVDVR MB family xxx.
  9. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) is a contender for my top spot as the best film of the decade. Likely will be. The main reason why I've started this topic is because I've seen very little Disney and Pixar films from the last decade so seek recommendations. Toy Story 3 (2010) and Inside Out (2015) are the only ones I've seen. I will watch The Incredibles 2 (2018) and Toy Story 4 (2019) having seen the previous entries in each respective series. Thanks!
  10. Cheers, @(BP). Hope you like it. Thanks also for bringing up Super, that has a shot of making my ballot.
  11. What a spectacle. One of my favourite ECW matches,
  12. Yes, Chris Jericho is a legend for the way he reinvents himself into different personas maintaining relevancy.
  13. I'll pimp the funniest films of the decade: Four Lions (2010) which me and @caley always talk up. Such a funny film considering the subject matter. You think to yourself, how this get the go ahead? Be glad it did. What We Do In The Shadows (2014), a vampire mockumentary by Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement. Waititi's best movie. Deadpool (2016) takes the piss out of the superhero genre it comes from. I thought this was much better than the disappointing 2018 sequel. Deadpool is leaner and funnier. Thor: Ragnarok (2017). Taika Waititi does it again giving Thor and the Hulk the standalone film quality both deserved.
  14. Night Will Fall (2014) needs to be seen so history won't repeat itself but it's horrific using footage of Nazi concentration camps deemed too intense for the general populace at the time. Channel 4 first showing of it was on Holocaust Memorial Day and aired without ad breaks, I don't remember them ever doing that before or since. Also from that year, Citizenfour about Edward Snowden on US intellegence programs and civil liberties.
  15. Carrying on Jason Aaron's Thor run... The Mighty Thor: The Death of the Mighty Thor collects The Mighty Thor #700-706 (2015) and Mighty Thor: At the Gates of Valhalla by Jason Aaron. #700 is narrated by the Norns as a tribute to Thor’s history from Jane Foster Thor vs. She-Hulk, Thor’s failed tries at lifting Mjolnir and Throg. Artists included Walter Simonson, Russell Dauterman and Oliver Coipel. It’s fitting for the #700 looking at what was, the now and to come. The title story occurs in #701-706, the Mangog does a number on Asgard and the key Gods in Thor Odinson, King Odin, Freyja and Heimdall. Jane Foster Thor takes up the fight despite her cancer in mortal form getting told her body wouldn’t survive one transformation back. This was one of the best stories in Aaron’s run on Thor. A moving and heroic farewell to Jane’s time as wielder of Mjolnir and holder of the Thor mantle, I’m getting hairs standing up thinking to Jane’s sacrifice here. Foster Thor is a period I’m fond off. This was also the last issue drawn by Russell Dauterman from Thor #1 (2014), Jane’s debut as Thor: Goddess of Thunder till now. Russell’s art was consistently a highlight. Mighty Thor: At the Gates of Valhalla is made of two stories, a search for Jane Foster by King Thor’s granddaughters, Ellisiv, Atli and Frigg and the other another tease of Malekith’s War of the Realms. It’s fine. The book includes a piece by Jason/Russell on their Jane as Thor run and variant covers, appreciated extras. Thor: God of Thunder Reborn collects Thor (2018) #1-6 by long time Thor writer, Jason Aaron and the artists Mike Del Mundo and Christian Ward. #1-4, Thor and Loki are in Niffleheim, hell meeting old faces and doing battle with Sinder and her followers there. The story was fine, liked the cameo characters showing up. Del Mundo’s art took a little time to get used to because I had the same with Frazer Irving. I preferred #4-6 returning to King Thor and his granddaughters during his time on the book. Here the elder All-Father faces Old Man Logan/Phoenix and Doctor Doom hopped up on powers including Doctor Strange’s in combat with the fate of New Midgard on the line.
  16. https://www.wwe.com/classics/wcw/ric-flair-ricky-steamboat-trilogy-interview
  17. FYI, the Clash of the Champions VI match is Ricky Steamboat's favourite match from the 1989 trilogy.
  18. Better late than never. You have them in the right.order. Steamboat/Flair, Clash of the Champions VI is one of the 10 best matches of all time. What a trilogy of matches.
  19. Fucker made me very angry/upset. Cheers, @OSJ and @RolandTHTG, appreciate that. Likewise: @J.T., @NikoBaltimore, @Niners Fan in CT, @SorceressKnight and @Ryan.
  20. How do I list Thor: Ragnarok (2017) directed by Taika Waititi yet I forget Waititi's best film co-directed with Jermaine Clement, 2014's What We Do In The Shadows?
