Leonidas

The deal was party/mostly? in shares which he kept in Disney, it's not really a 4 billion deal anymore. It's over 6 billion. And he still gets some royalties as the creator of the characters. He is a very wealthy man. Bastard.

Random Kane feud was fun, last inferno match in WWE? Armageddon 2006 I believe. He was one of those characters JBL hated to begin with, but then got his respect on commentary.

Riddick Star Wars crossover? Riddick vs Bountyhunters? Pants free.

Pretty fascinating watch of the LVG press conference on the bbc website. Looks like he went in there to give them a dressing down, not sure how it's going to pan out.

I quite agree the tactics aren't working and I've been extremely puzzled by some substitutions recently (bringing on younger players when more experience players were on the bench), but I really don't think getting rid of LVG is the answer. A month ago we loved him. I've heard some callers on sports radio saying how he's out of his league, the man has won the league with every club he's managed and won the Champion's League. He deserves till at least the end of the season, I really don't understand the speculation at the moment. Jose or anyone else would be a parallel not an improvement.

And by proxy she looks like Keira Knightley also, but she SOUNDS exactly like Keira Knightley. Who as mentioned before, was what inspired Portman's voice in the prequels. And I'd argue she's not a Mary Sue as she was so fixated on staying on Jakku when evidence pointed to the obvious, that her family was not coming back to get her.

I did not realise I wanted Mark Henry in New Day until right now.

I think there was a connection when Leia and Rey were hugging after Han's death. Got more of a Niece/Aunt vibe to it than Mother/Daughter though. Seriously though, she is related, just look at her. She is the spitting image of Amidala and not unlike young Leia. Just means was she fighting her brother or her cousin? Really enjoyed the film, Harrison Ford is one of those actors who seems to play the same role, different versions of himself in each film. However in this, he really nailed being Han Solo again, markedly different from his other famous characters. When Han walked down that bridge I knew it was over, but my heart was beating out of my chest, couldn't believe they were actually going to do it. Can't wait for more!

This is fantastic, I hope the crowd is like this tonight. And for once I get to watch a WWE event live at a decent time in the UK on the network. 8pm for us for once.

The question is, should I travel 3 hours to see 3 hour long Hateful 8 at the only cinema in the UK showing it in 70mm?

I would run away from Tamina too. Actually, no I'd let her catch me, but I'd at least attempt to make it look like I didn't want to be caught.

The England / France friendly tomorrow at Wembley is going to be very emotional. Rumour is both sets of fans will be singing La Marseillaise. What these extremists don't understand is it makes the bond between allies stronger.

Been playing the augmented reality bits a bunch lately, much more fun now you can select characters in a few of them. It's good how as each character has different gadgets and strengths/weaknesses, the A.I they spawn are different depending who you're using. Finding Robin/Nightwing the easiest, but Harley is the most fun to play. Could quite happily play a whole game as her. A Joker/Harley game would get all the buys. Batgirl sucks, like so hard.

Cesaro will lose in round 1 via Stardust interference. I could see an Ambrose/Reigns final, but with HHH sliding in a chair for Ambrose to use. It makes too much sense for Reigns to go heel, so they'll probably make Ambrose turn which will fail because the WWE Universe© would cheer Ambrose over Reigns.

Thank you for introducing me to Marc Martel, that is a damn impressive voice. The only Icelandic band I know covering some Britpop: And an all time classic covered orchestrally by another master musician:

Kurt Angle saw that Ankle Lock>German spot and turned in his grave wishing he thought of that 12 years ago. Never seen Asuka before, but a little bit in love with her already.

Paige's promo was fantastic, seemed more unscripted than normal promos, which shows they have a lot of trust in her. It's all well and good saying she's going to be an asshole heel, but the crowd was cheering her by the end of it. Which probably means she'll be forced into being a heel for a few months then incessantly cheered like anyone else before begrudgingly turned face again in 6 months after the fans stop caring as much. Big Show's promo showed a lot of fire and it's like he was saying on Jericho's podcast, he just comes to work and does what he's told, whether it's to be a comedy role or as it was here, build himself up for the big match at MSG. If it was me though, it needed a line about Cesaro being a strength freak and he's tough in the same way Lesnar is, but if Show can overcome Cesaro, then he can overcome Lesnar. And show everyone he's the biggest and most important freak in wrestling. Then again if it was me I would book Cesaro/Lesnar like, you know what people want, even the ones who don't know they want it would want it. Ru-Day is awesome, Rusev could have come out and blanked the other heels, but instead even though 2/3 of them are American he integrated instead, maybe this will lead to less of the patriotic Bulgarian thing in the future. So then he can turn babyface and go on another undefeated streak with Lana at his side. Dolph is so cringeworthy in everything he does, you can tell he's just collecting a paycheck at this point. Rusev's celebration of finally beating him was epic, shame the commentators didn't emote the same way. Hopefully he will defeat Dolph cleanly soon and move on to better things.

Poor Big E can't find any clothes that fit him properly. That's what happens when you bench 400lbs as a warm up.

Yeah that's stupid, for me when you go to downloadable content it just shows the season pass which I've already paid for. I had to manually search the PS store for the category dlc.

1. Where did you grow up, and what was it like? Mid-Sized English seaside town. 1 Rundown cinema (still is) but as it serviced the whole town it still had all the nationally released movies. Had to wait until adulthood to really go to a good cinema in the next city over. 2. Was anyone else in your family into movies? If so, what effect did they have on your moviegoing tastes? Not really, all my male relatives obviously loved Star Wars and James Bond, but no one in particular had a passion. 3. What's the first movie you remember seeing, and what impression did it make on you? There's got to be a few really, Jurassic Park and Hook I remember seeing at the Cinema. Of which Hook gave me nightmares as I stayed over at my grandparents that night and they had bay windows which looked just like the window the kids were taken from. I also remember watching James Bond films on TV around Christmas time. And also the Great Escape which I vividly remember watching when I can't have been more than 6 years old, but it kept me quiet for the full 2 hours 52 minutes runtime, which I'm sure my babysitter was very happy with. I was also obsessed with the VHS of Mary Poppins and used to rewind it and watch it all over again until the tape was ruined. 4. What's the first movie that made you think, "Hey, some people made this. It didn't just exist. There's a human personality behind it." Probably something like Pulp Fiction. Due to the scenes being out of order, this was very unusual at the time and everyone wanted to know more about Tarantino and what he would do next in his films. 5. What's the first movie you ever walked out of? I don't think I've ever walked out of a movie, but I definitely hated the Happening and sprinted out as soon as the conclusion had become apparent. (Really M Night, plants? Plants?!) 6. What's the funniest film you've ever seen? If we're talking what made me laugh the most it was probably something from my childhood like Innerspace or Dumb and Dumber. In recent years I really can only think of Anchorman and The Other Guys as being decent. Big Lebowski too, doesn't have laugh out loud moments particularly, but it more stays with you and you get the giggles thinking about it the next few days after. 7. What's the saddest film you've ever seen? Well if we're talking tears, as a manly man I was only welling up with the beginning of Up and the ending of Marley and Me. They are designed to make you cry though. If we're talking about becoming sad by the events of the whole film then something like the Pianist kicked my ass, also made me hungry. Just recently I watched St Vincent expecting an out and out comedy, but got a lump in my throat a few times at that, and the film was much better for it. 8. What's the scariest film you've ever seen? I don't really get scared, although the ending of Blair Witch was creepy. For suspense and a couple jump scares I'd throw in the Doctor Who episode Blink, has to be one of my favourite TV episodes of all time. I am in no hurry to re-watch the Fly ever though. I'm fine with jumps and gore, but anything to do with hair, eyes, nails, teeth is too cringe worthy for me. 9. What's the most romantic film you've ever seen? Casablanca or Sunset Boulevard. They don't do romance as good as the old movies did romance. 10. Is there a movie that you think is great, or powerful, or perfect, but that you never especially want to see again, and why? I've only ever watched Fight Club once, and I didn't know about the ending. Same with Sixth Sense. I guess it has lost it's appeal knowing the twist. I find the Nolan Batman trilogy you need to be in the right mood for. It is a very gritty realisation and I don't often want dark and realistic. Also they are so long, longer movies rarely get a re-watch from me nowadays as I'm so busy. 11. What movie have you seen more times than any other? Back To The Future, Hook, Mary Poppins (Childhood). Pulp Fiction, Old Star Wars Trilogy, From Dusk Till Dawn. 12. What was your first R-rated movie, and did you like it? I remember being up when Mortal Kombat was rented, it's kind of tame now, but it was an 18 and I think I was 10. And of course I loved it, I was a 10 year old boy, that movie is fantastic for 10 yr old boys! 13. What's the most visually beautiful film you've ever seen? As per the other current cinematography thread I'll go with Chinatown, and Leon The Professional. 14. Who are your favorite leading men, past and present? Steve McQueen, the King of Cool. Jack Nicholson for his performances. Will Smith has up until recent years barely put a foot wrong, and has to be an inspiration to millions. Jackie Chan has to get a mention for being batshit insane and holding the record for most stunts performed, most of which were completely nuts. Not to mention the huge amount of films he has been in. 15. Who are your favorite leading ladies, past and present? Faye Dunaway in the 70s had it all, looks, charisma and could act her fucking socks off. I'm not sure about current ladies, I love Monster, so I'll nominate Charlize Theron. Rachel Weisz while hasn't been in many movies I would consider critically acclaimed masterpieces, has been in some very enjoyable movies. The Mummy, Constantine, Enemy at the Gates all get rewatches from me on a regular basis, so she must be doing something right. 16. Who's your favorite modern filmmaker? There is actually quite a few, I can't pick a favourite as they all have their own style. Tarantino, Polanski, John Carpenter. All different, but I pretty much love all of their films without exception. Joss Whedon has produced some of my favourite shows and looks promising in his movie career. Luc Besson has to get a mention purely for the sheer amount of action movies he has been involved with that have all been hugely enjoyable. Seriously just look at his IMDB there is too many to mention here. 17. Who's your least favorite modern filmmaker? M Night Shymalahan, Signs and Sixth Sense enjoyable. Unbreakable a favourite of mine, but....everything else is the drizzling shits. He needs to go hide in a mountain cave and find himself. 18. What film do you love that most people seem to hate? Bit stuck on this one, can only really think of stupid movies I liked during my teenage years like Scary Movie, Anchorman, Animal House, American Pie. But those are pretty subjective and if you're the right age you'd like them too. I will argue until I'm blue in the face that BTTF 2 is better than 1, but I am always outnumbered in that for some reason. (He goes to the future AND the past!) This isn't the time or the place for that discussion. 19. What film do you hate that most people love? Probably all these new Bond films. The beauty of Bond is that you don't need to reboot it, you can continue on with new actors, but I wasn't a fan of Craig when C:R was announced, and decided already before it came out that I would hate it and I did. I felt the reboot was completely unnecessary and the same with the new Spiderman movies, but I'm not alone in that. The Bourne movies were popular, but found all that shaky cam stuff to be too ADHD for me. 20. Tell me about a moviegoing experience you will never forget—not just because of the movie, but because of the circumstances in which you saw it. I don't really have any which is sad. I just remember going to see movies with a lot of family which meant a lot to me because we were all together, but nothing stands out in particular. 21. What aspect of modern theatrical moviegoing do you like least? Well I've mentioned reboots and shaky cam during action scenes, but you really want to know what grinds my gears? White meat babyfaces in movies and TV. Bland template white guys with no muscle and floppy hair and I'm supposed to believe they're going to save the day and get the girl? Get the hell of here with that, I want guys with hulking muscles and one liners like Arnie. I want charm and stud farm-like libidos like James Bond. I want men who I wish I was like or could become like, like Newman, McQueen, Nicholson and Ford. Look at these muppets they've put in the new sequels to stuff. Who would watch IJ4 (which doesn't really exist in my canon of course) and think oh I wish I could be like Shia Leboeuf? Same with Jai Courtney and DH5. Michael Cera was only ever funny in 1 movie, he is not a leading man except in movies only hipsters like. I hate hipsters. 22. What aspect of moviegoing during your childhood do you miss the most? I guess the lack of knowing it's pretend. Not being as excited for movies as I was then. Luckily Star Wars is changing that, but that's what I thought the last time. 23. Have you ever damaged a friendship, or thought twice about a relationship, because you disagreed about whether a movie was good or bad? If a girl says they hate Star Wars or dismiss a movie out of hand without even having seen it, then they are seen as a luddite to me and move to the bottom of the pile. I have to educate so many ladies on BTTF, Goonies and Indiana Jones. It's really not on, these movies should be part of the school curriculum. 24. What movies have you dreamed about? Hook did give me nightmares as above. I remember dreaming about the Neverending story as it is quite dreamlike anyway, especially with the flying creature being rode in the clouds. Pretty much any Terry Gilliam film has definitely delved into my consciousness. 25. What concession stand item can you not live without? Not sure what they're called around the world, but a blue raspberry flavoured slush is always a favourite. If I manage to get out to the city there is a Ben and Jerry's bar in the cinema so I'm having whatever I like as it's only a once in a while treat.

There is no way I can be bothered to do 250 riddles. So I looked up the full ending on Youtube, there's many ways to interpret it, be interesting to see if Rocksteady make another Batman game what it will be like and when it would be set.

Donnie Fucking Yen? Fuck yes.

Chinatown for the tone, Jack Nicholson's ever changing attire and Faye Dunaway's eyebrows. Leon the Professional for the lighting, the plant and Gary Oldman taking his pills. Hook because of the huge amounts of non cgi pirates.

Also, the above Vigilante is on Amazon prime instant streaming video so can watch at your leisure. Looks fucking awesome.

Just rewatched Cesaro/Kidd vs the Ascension from 4th May and Cesaro has the best hot tag in the business right now. Those continuous uppercuts should be a finish not a kick out at 2.
