As Pickford blames everyone else, makes performative gestures and tries to dive from the halfway line.

Nolan's films ranked- https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/mar/07/is-oppenheimer-christopher-nolans-finest-film-all-the-directors-movies-ranked I'd put Prestige higher than his Batman films, it's a brilliant alt-universe film and really sucks you in. Aside from that, I was really surprised at the negativity in many of the comments. I haven't seen Tenet and don't fancy it given its reputation, but I've seen all of his other films and thoroughly enjoyed them. Interstellar and Oppenheimer are what the cinema's all about, and Inception is amazing. His Batman trilogy helped make superhero films respectable and were far more enjoyable than the Marvel production line, and Memento was superb. Bit weird to see so many people dislike his films.

Interesting article about future Dune films- massive spoiler warnings if you haven't seen or read the books, btw- https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/mar/07/dune-movie-part-two-book-messiah I'd be surprised if they do anything beyond Messiah. For a long time, the first book was considered unfilmable, and that applies in spades to the books beyond Messiah, which are incredibly bizarre.

I thought he'd peaked with his Kane impression, but he's back approaching those levels now.

Didn't realise he'd been kidnapped as a kid.

I doubt he'd go there, they're an absolute basket case of a club on and off the pitch. If he was daft enough though, he'd probably follow the same trajectory as Silva and Martinez- decent football compared to the utter dross they've been playing under Lampard and Dyche, a top ten finish, everyone getting giddy about a 'power shift' and then sacked when things inevitably take a downturn.

Erm... from the government's own figures-

Yep. These two will have to return their Bitter Cards-

India are now Bazballing the fuck out of us.

It gets better as it goes along too, great series.

Oh, you poor, sweet summer child.

Even by England standards, this is a majestic collapse- 5 wickets for 8 runs.

Ah, but they defended the Holy land against the Muslims. Just like Ron and Terry pretend they're doing.

Only if you kicked it though a haystack.

Why not? Everyone knows people drive better when they're pissed.

Elite put me onto this during lockdown. It's fantastic, get it through 4OD or I think it's still on Netflix. It tails off a bit in later series, but it's still very good.

Johnson ate it.

She's both, absolutely hapless, same as that Helen Whately who used to get wheeled out to defend Johnson's Covid fiascos.

Sorry, didn't think. The board really needs spoiler tags back, bit stupid of the developers to remove them as they're a more than useful feature.

Still don't get why the PL would sanction clubs that left UEFA's competitions.

I bet you would, you'd starve to death.

They deviated from the book quite a bit towards the end and compressed the timeline too, there are actually 3 years or so from the Harkonnen attack to the end of the film. Chani has a son that dies in a sietch attack, and she understands that Paul has to take the Emperor's daughter as his wife, but that she'll be his concubine and his 'true love'. Jessica has her daughter, Alia, who is born with all the capabilities of a Bene Gesserit mother superior and is considered an abomination. Alia- barely 2 years old- kills the baron, her grandfather. The Emperor chooses Feyd as his champion, hence the fight to the death. No idea why they chose to have Chani act like a jilted spoiled brat and take off on her own, that's completely against her character- I hope they're not setting her up as a girl boss for the next film, that'd be really shit. Also, Paul is supposed to be 15 at the start of Dune, and I think about 18 by the end, so Chalomet was a pretty good choice. Certainly more so than Kyle MacLachan in the 1984 version, who was far too old. The next one will be Dune Messiah, about a decade later, where Paul realises just how terrible the jihad he's started has become and has to fight against an alliance ranged against him.
