It was never going to be the same.

I also sat through the first Hobbit film for the first time. It's just not the same.

Will probably go through them again at Christmas.  Probably close to 20 views of each film now.

What were you doing at 100mph, mf?

He was one of the redeeming features.

I agree with this. I should probably watch Fargo.

I started re watching the office the other day and finished it straight away. Forgot just how ruddy good it was.

US or British version?

I just wanted to see how fast my car could go. Got to 100 pretty easy.

The Hobbit wasn't the worst film ever, it's just nowhere near as good as LotR. It's more childish, a bit samey and the characters feel far more shallow. All the dwarves are so meh. The party dynamic isn't anywhere near the fellowship. Thorin Oakenshield is too serious, he's obviously the Aaragon of the team but he just seems like a dick. Really dislike James Nesbitt too so seeing his face a lot is annoying.

The one with Martin Freeman in it.

I find it a lot more enjoyable when I don't compare it to LOTR. The book itself isn't really comparable, so the movie shouldn't be either. All your criticisms apply to the book, not just the movie.

Yeah it's not a bad movie, it's just nowhere near the same level.

Pellegrino should shut his noise the fackin old cunt.

I shouldn't have laughed at Ronaldinho earlier this week. 

4 minutes into today's match Salcido pull's a Suarez, gets a red card, and Ronaldinho scores his first goal in Mexican football via penalty. :'(

It's unfortunate that all the decent broadsheets in the UK charge a subscription

The Guardian doesn't, and the Telegraph is well worth the subscription fee, plus you don't really need to pay it if you use incognito mode. I do pay it because I believe in paying for good journalism. The Times is a total piss take mind.

Those Hope Solo pics...not my thing

A City fan on le reddit basically accused me of being a United fan via PM because I said I thought Rooney had lived up to his potential.

100 pounds a year for The Telegraph.    I suppose it's not terrible when it's a daily newspaper and you pay something similar for an uninspiring weekly publication like The Economist.

There is no point in reading the news, just ask other people what's going on (srs).

How dare you complement a rival team's player. Judas.
