Batman v Superman 4/10 I was really wanting to like this but it's a mess, a few decent moments with Batman and Alfred and Wonder Woman towards the end but it's a 2.5 hour movie that probably needs another hour in it to make it better. Or cut a hell of a lot tighter. They've jammed in so many Iconic scenes and ideas that they've fucked themselves if they actually wanted to do them properly. It smells a lot of throwing shite at the wall to see what sticks tbh. Once the first half is over and the film stops jumping about from scene to scene in a pretty jarring manner it does flow a lot better but it just doesn't click imo (and I fucking love the animated series B:TAS, S:TAS and JLU)

To be honest there are some reasonable points snuck in there. It's a crying shame that some Bears are only just realising this. They should have done it 3 years ago, but, they didn't and we get the great situation we are in now. Armageddon has hit and things couldn't be better

Season Books are for League games. Everything else should be discounted for book holders but isn't.

I went into the film thinking it would be a mashup of the two and it kind of is and kind of isn't. A cracking film, beautiful and some of the best shots in a film I've seen this year.

Despite living in Scotland for 28 years of my life I have an English accent so people assume a lot. Although I'm voting yes I'm very skeptical about a lot of what is getting said by both sides of the argument. I don't immediately call those on the no side Fuds. I question everything wether the Yes side or the No side, I don't blindly agree or disagree on the majority of things.

That wasn't a reply to you. I am well aware of the attacks on Yes campaigners.

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I'd edited that first post to say "recently most have". I missed it. Pat yourself on the back and feel the glow of righteousness for spotting an inconsistency in what I have been saying. It doesn't change anything. I'm still voting Yes.

Wow, we've had different experiences. Who'd have thought it. As for that, why would I bother lying? I've no interest in it. I've been discussing independence since I was old enough to vote, it's a subject that inflames passionate responses from both sides. Sometimes those responses fall into arguments and slagging, more often it doesn't. Just because you've had little to no negative experiences during your discussions doesn't mean that everyone has.

My experience is just that mine. I didn't say it held true over all, only in that every discussion I've ever been involved in degenerates to a slagging match. As for spreading anything rubbish? By claiming that the No campaign has more Fuds you're doing the exact same thing, do you have hard numbers backing that claim up? Or is it just an opinion based on your experiences?

Yeah it is. Who'd have though in this day and age that people would get hassle for what box they're going to put a tick in.

Loving the sarcasm. I wasn't claiming anything on who has been assaulted more or less. Only my experience.

To be honest, in my experience this is true (Not getting assaulted). A lot of Yes supporters get almost militantly argumentative when someone says that they are going to vote No and just badger people. I've had people get in my face more often who are Yes voters than those who are No supporters (although to be fair there's been a few). Walking round Glasgow you see loads of Yes stickers but very few No stickers and imho it's because people don't want the hassle that goes with it.

Eric Clapton at the SSE Hydro. Fucker walked off after 90 minutes of playing after he seemingly fucked up the set order. Band came back on with him played one song then they left. Crowd expected an encore got the lights turned on. First time I've heard booing in a long time.

Saw Captain America : Winter Soldier yesterday. It's awesome, really enjoyed it and the game changing nature of the resolution is going to have knock on effects for the rest of the Marvel Universe.

American Hustle - David O Russell has obviously been on a Goodfellas spree with this film borrowing heavily from that era's Scorsese style of film making, he's made a pretty decent Character driven piece here. I liked how the story told to Bradley Cooper by Louis C.K was pretty much the main arc for the two "brothers" of the film (Bale and Renner) 8/10 Out of the Furnace - A slow building movie with an amazing cast. Christian Bale stars (again) in another role where he is solid. 7/10 Apocalypse Now - What is there to say about this movie other than 10/10 I have the Redux version which bumps the length to over 3 hours still to watch which I'm looking forward to. Elysium - Neil Blokamps follow up to District 9, not as great as D9 but keeping to similar themes of that film. Some cracking effects and a quite frankly batshit villain in Sharlto Copleys Kruger. Not a perfect film but an enjoyable "Hard Sci Fi" film based on an original(ish) concept. 6.5/10

I was wondering about the tapeworm tbh. I need to go see this film, if just for the photocopier bit (part of it is in the trailer )

A neighbour practising the same 4 tunes on a recorder/other kind of pipe whistle thing for 3 days solid now. A rangers fan for sure based on the tunes. Not even in the same close as me so I can't knock on his door. It wouldn't bother me but we are talking a good 8 hours at least

Wouldn't it be funny if the SFL boys vote NewCo into the 1st Division then immediately Relegate them to the third ala Livi and Gretna.

At the end of Wolverine? That's Patrick Stewart who plays Xavier in the original 3 films

Wages are due on Thursday iirc

Cheers. So there was nothing really unexpected in the program then, cool.

This thread exploded over night didn't it? Does anyone know the page/post where I can read a summary on the program that was on last night? Or if you are feeling nice a summary of the lurid details would be good

Yeah, I noticed him after I posted but I don't really count him as Hearts have hardly been his club iirc he was at Rangers for longer than he was at Hearts. They have Eck who is an ex manager of Hibs, why not get John Robertson or Jim Jeffries?

Turn on sky to watch the football and they have Neil Lennon in the studio. Wow, why not get someone related to Hearts.

Every Genre of movie should be reviewed and held up against films of it's own kind. The Avengers is a comic book superhero movie and should be judged on that, will it win Oscars or get nominated? No of course not, that doesn't make it a bad movie. You don't compare Apples with Oranges. The 8.9 score on IMDB is representative of those who enjoyed it and it is an enjoyable movie but not everyone will enjoy it and most of those won't see the movie because they know their own tastes.
