Harrison Ford was absolutely perfect as Han. If anyone fucked up it was Carrie Fisher, who was nothing like Leia.

I felt everything in Force Awakens had more emotional resonance than 4, because of the films that came before it. Simply on that ground, i feel it differentiates itself enough.

A New Hope is basically just following the Hero's Journey formula beat by beat. Its not a particularly unique story, in that way. Its about the Universe and the characters, both of which, force awakens delivers.

I expected it to be great, a return to form, and I felt it fully delivered. Not only that. I personally enjoy it more than I ever did A New Hope.

I agree Ninja, I love Star Wars and this was good right up until the retelling of A New Hope sans the thing that happened (which I won't spoil in case) that was supposed to happen in A New Hope.


That wasn't supposed to happen in A New Hope.

As a huge fan of the original trilogy, I thought it was absolutely incredible. Fun, well written, with a lot of interesting new characters, brilliant action, and the best lightsaber fight since the 80's. Also, it sets up the new movie well. All in all, more than I could've hoped for.

I want Mourinho over Giggs.

But I think either appointment basically sums up the muddled thinking of the post Fergie thinking at the club.


Who would you want?

Jose isn't exactly the problem, the squad is aging and shit last season Hazard & Costa carried them through an under strengthed league so it clouded things a bit but with them not performing this season it's showing the squad up fro what they are.

Terry is too old now, Ivanovic has never been a right back really and is getting on, Cahill has never been a top player, Azpilicueta is very inconsistent defensively, Matic can't actually play football, Fabregas has been massively overrated since his Arsenal days so when Hazard & Costa don't perform Chelsea lose!

Only player that should be starting for them week in week out is Courtois when he is fit, and Willian I guess judged on this seasons form as he's the only one who has done anything. Removing Mourinho isn't going to change anything the need to rebuild the side. As a minimum they need top quality right back, center back (At least 1), center mid,, natural right winger and to actually play Remy!


I'll go along with the rest of what you're saying (despite Fabregas being amazing in the first half of the season), but the highlighted bit is the biggest load of shite I've ever read.

Are you Swedish or Danish? If Swedish, didn't Dungen release something this year? If Danish, I'm sorry that Junior Senior dominates your airwaves, Bobber has shared his grievances with me many a time.

Meanwhile, "mainstream" rock is doing fine I think; I'd look to acts like Hozier, Muse, Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons – their trade is still on the radio, not that I'd listen to them, of course (Hozier is fine).

Yeah, it's true, the early 00's wave of standard-serve rock music on radio has since plummeted pretty hard. I do miss the days that the Strokes and Franz Ferdinand were playing. Then again, that too was kind of a phase; What were you guys listening to before that? Michael Learns to Rock? Which songs defined the 90's? I'd say "Nothing Compares 2 U", "Truly Madly Deeply", hell, even "Gangsta's Paradise": Two ballads and a hip-hop song. Don't let your rock-tinted lenses trick you; Foo Fighters, Oasis and Blur aside, rock was already being ushered underground, subterranean below the pop music stratosphere. Arctic Monkeys, Blink 182 and Muse are literally blips in a sea of messy four-to-the-floor synthpop.

Where did "rock" go, then? I'd argue it's still on the radio, in fact – just in different forms. Kanye West's Graduation was as rock as rap albums go, structure-wise, rhythm-wise: It just seems built for that all-American big-stadium stage sound, like many classic rock records do. And where would 5 Seconds of Summer be without Green Day? If rock wasn't taken to be just guitar and drums, but instead the elements they essentially are: rhythm, lead, bass and beats, you'll see rock still pervades the radio, just in different forms.

Otherwise, my favourite rock (as in, rock rock) album of the year hit No. 8 on the US Billboard 200. I'm pretty excited that they're also doing a concert all the way in Singapore (where I stay). My friends are too, we're all stoked; maybe you just need to talk to other people about it.

Having read the whole thing, I think you're really on to something.
It's sharp, focused, and right to the point. And excellently uses the old screenwriting adage "show, don't tell".
Characters are well defined, and their arcs are riveting and well told.

Keep it up.

Anything other than paint drying build up gets cut out half the time


Stops cunts from just blasting it up to their strikers in counters constantly.

As in passing to the wrong guy? All the time.

Think the worst thing is passing to a striker to see the defender step ahead of him. Every time. Its literally impossible, you cant play it to feet but you cant play it over the top either


Nonsense.
You can get it to your strikers easily if you don't just rush the fuck out of it.
