    Shame it`s not being released in one go, as I`d have liked to watch all nine episodes back to back.

    They did and fans seemingly can`t get tickets, because of the massive expansion of corporate areas of the ground, which as always seem to have large numbers of empty seats, especially after half time if the game is crap, which it usually is ! It`s nigh on impossible to get a ticket as a...

    You are right to a point about attendances, but the likes of Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea, also have a very high percentage of " footy tourists ", who buy extremely expensive packages from third party companies, as well as the club itself. My lad works for an events company that provides...

    Premier League thread

    The Premier League is a terribly boring league to watch, unless you have unlimited money to spend on players - City. It`s just about power and sheer athleticism now. Outside of City, Liverpool, Arsenal and maybe Chelsea, no one else is getting a sniff. You then have a couple underneath, Spurs...

    Years ago we had a tv in the front room, as well as the back room which we live in. She was seeing so little of me, she made me take the tv out of the back room. So what I do now, when she`s watching her mindless pap ( Bake off etc ) is get a book out and read for the duration of her mindless...

    Went to see Guillermo del Toro`s reboot of Frankenstein last night. Wonderfully Gothic, with stunning sets and cinematography - as you`d expect from a del Torro. Probably the best Frankenstein film for a very long time. Slightly over long at 2hrs 25 mins, with a standout performance from...

    Ballad of a Small Player ( just out on Netflix ). It`s a good film, that could`ve been better, Colin Farrell is fantastic though. He plays a gambling addict, who`s fled the UK, to set himself up as a high roller, in the Chinese Las Vegas, Macau. He gets himself deeper and deeper dept, until...

    It`s a bit of a strange read, as it almost reads like a very in depth newspaper article, turned into a book. But still absolutely fascinating to read, especially when they find his camp.

    It was a toss up between that and the del Toro version of Frankenstein tomorrow. Frankenstein won, as it just looks like such a visual spectacle and one that should be seen at the cinema. ( I know it comes out on Netflix next week )

    It`s a strange one, as usually the voice overs in films don`t really add to a film, but with Blade Runner, it just fits perfectly. Apocalypse Now is another one, where the voice over works perfectly too.

    Me too, I`ve lost count of how many times it. It`s a film I`ll happily watch over and again and still see something I missed each time I watch it.

    Even though the original Blade Runner is 43 years old, it`s still the best sc-fi film of all time and apart from the 80`s hair on the women and the big baggy 80`s suits on some of the men, it hasn`t dated one little bit. Every single bit of of is perfection, the beautiful, vivid and lush...

    They turned it into some kind of macabre theatre, resulting in something that was crass and offensive. It does get better once he`s caught though.
