Foxcatcher (spoilerish stuff inbound) Fantastic film and one of those that you couldn't get up from your seat with a mark out of 10 ready. The pacing seemed quite odd, which had me wondering where it was going for most of it. The first act (sort of) seemed minutes long, then you're in suspenseful build-up mode for all but the final few minutes. The pay off was worth it and the ending was stunning. Carell, Ruffalo and Tatum were all perfect for their characters. Ruffalo's one of my favourite actors on the go just now, his character's interview was one of those understatedly powerful scenes that he does as well as anyone. I watched about half of Taken the other night. Absolutely fucking shite His voice man Nearly ended myself when he finds out his daughter's off following U2. Would like to see the rest of it, had a Face/Off hilariously pish quality.

VKs are like the celery of alcoholic drinks. For the time it takes to get to a round in at a club and drink a few, you're probably sobering up.

That's some intense mixing the boy is doing at the start.

I heard there was Klu Klux Klan rally in The Roseburn on Saturday. Sickening.

Glad to have this thread to read because Page 3 is one of those issues that I've genuinely never really formed an opinion on. When it's an informative, reasoned debate on feminism or decency you're after, people who's critique of Scotland's First Minister starts and ends with "lesbian", "pure honking" and "utter c**t" are exactly who you want to hear from.

Ando should walk up and put his full palm on Taylor's face.

BAH GAWD

LICK MY FACE

Touching him again there. I fucking despise Taylor.

I already spend every waking second questioning my existence, so jokes on you Buzzfeed.

Paloma Faith falls exactly into this category for me. Half the time I think she's pretty rough looking and the rest of the time I find her insanely attractive in a weird way. She's pretty irritating as well, sometimes an appealing personality can swing these things and it's not that. She's right up my street in the video for that Sigma tune e.g. RE big Meghan, aye wid.

Aye that's a good point, doesn't have to be a hostel - any info on where I can find a flat / garage / disused factory / condemned mine for no more than £300 a month and I'm all ears. As long as it can fit a bed and isn't either my maw's or a 24 hour That 70s Show cinema and I'm interested. Edit: The 'good point' was a post from Welshbairn that's disappeared. Important for any potential landlords to know that I don't generally talk to myself.

Anyone long stayed in a hostel and if so, any info on the going month rate for a single room (especially in Edinburgh)? Looking around at various hostel sites and they mostly instruct to call for long stay info - would be good to be armed with some info going into those calls. Moved in with a mate recently but he's doing my head in. I didn't give him a deposit for his room and am down to part-time hours until Feb so don't really have 2 months rent spare up front to take on another place properly - need a cheap as possible stopgap for a month or two so I don't end up belting him one. To give a sense of how urgently unbearable the situation is, he watches That 70s Show about 8 times a day - loud as f**k, at times varying from 8am to 2am - and shouts HELLO WISCONSIN Every. Single. Time. When dem chords kick in

If only his hater managers could realise this.

I always make sure to call Christmas anything but Christmas IRL because I know people doing this annoys the religious when it suits them bigoted fuckwits out there. Killing Christianity one seasonal pleasantry at a time

If there wasn't a language barrier (there isn't for most of them) I would much rather a political union with Germany than the rest of Britain.

Not the sharpest, this one. Edit:

:lol: Woah, chill brah. Her "endorsement" was something about seeing him and not getting a photo. I think the most likely scenario was that she was not thinking of him for the conviction he received when she was nine years old but for the mainstream star of sport and film that he's been for her entire adult life. Still very absent-minded and ignorant but that's why she's apologised. Even given that, there isn't anything - forgetting someone's criminal record or getting your kit off for a magazine included - that illegitimises a woman's (or anyone's) right to stand up for gender equality or oppose rape. Most people will agree with, not try and pick holes in Webster's stance on opposing rape. That's where society is now, try and deal with it.

I'd never heard of the Mike Tyson thing, although I've just googled it and she has directly apologised for it. Does a mistake that she's apologised for make her objection to a rapist being employed by the club she patronises illegitimate? No, obviously not. If her tweeting something about Mike Tyson and FHM had any relation, then I could accept that the former was the "key part" of the argument, but they don't. That tweet has absolutely no relation to your idea that posing for FHM should impact on her attitudes towards rape and/or gender equality. It really is a creepy attitude to have, although sadly not a surprise.

There's a very good reason that I didn't ask you to follow up on why Charlie Webster's position on Evans was contradictory. Because I knew your reasoning would be something absolutely idiotic like "these Sky Sports women wear skimpy clothes and yet she still complains about rape", and I had no interest in hearing such disgusting drivel. But you've posted almost exactly what I expected anyway. She's been in FHM and therefore shouldn't expect gender equality . Utter, utter lunacy. And yes, feel free to get it back on topic. It was you who brought up Sports Personality of the Year in the Politics forum, as if it actually matters or has any relevance to political issues. If you've finished with that, I think that is best for all of us.

Aye nobody cares apart from Charlie Webster and the people that gave them them the award. I'd imagine the award is for the achievement of the year, not being the best at that sport. Nobody is saying the England's women's team is the best squad of rugby players on earth but they are a British sports team that won a World Cup this year, so fair enough really. If award ceremonies and TV presenters who object to rape are your big concerns, I'd suggest you've got your priorities wrong.

Standing ovations at awards ceremonies. It Really Is PC Gone Mad.

I don't really mind Brand but he is out of his depths in these situations. If he's going to be this big political/campaigning figure that he's trying to be, he needs to put the work in and be prepared with the facts to take on people like Farage. It's not that hard to do, Brand is right that everyone turning the blame on immigrants and the poor is idiotic. There's millions of ways to factually demonstrate that rather than philosophising about it. What he's actually trying to say is stuff that deep down most people know to be true, but when you present it in a really weaksauce way, it doesn't convince people. "Pound shop Enoch Powell" was quite good though "extremist" Don't talk shite.

England is full of utter morons.
