That is good. :-)

This is actually a common idea in primarily catholic countries. I myself benefitted enormously from this when young. It was the girls that suggested it.

I was there. Sounded awful in the room. And was a bit of a tragedy to be honest. LOVE Levon Helm. This was, well, bad.

Best troll of Drew ever.

They just wanted an American who could match "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL...". They found one.

Its the Telegraph. No, you can't get any whiter. Its the Rush Limbaugh of broadsheets.

The Paperboy is actually terrific. Get over it.

That would be Sir Alex Ferguson to you.

Ha! You prefer the BBC series? Jack off to Benedict Cumberpatch much? Its not one iota more 'authentic'. An updated story is no more true to the source material than a brand new one in the milieu. But then you think that DKR is a 'good' film. Its fascist trash. You may not like 'teen moron' appeal but your intellect…

I love Bela Tarr. But that's not even great Bela Tarr. So, even on the petard he chose to hoist, Grierson's list is bullshit. I'm guessing its just one of the maybe 3 Tarr films he's ever seen.

You couldn't hack The Paperboy? I knew you were repressed Will, but I didn't realise you were THIS repressed. Its one of my faves for the year.

Wow. Could that be any more superficial or incorrect? They didn't commission them all together. They fired the studio head that made the original deal. None of this happens without Robert Zemeckis. I could go on for days. Do some decent research or get another gig.

finally. listen, love football, but the fans essentially strike-breaking on behalf of billionaires? fuck 'em.

I also knew she'd died early on. How old is Grierson? Ten? That film was very average, despite the hefty talent. I agree the wolves were embarrassing. You want a good plane crash/wilderness movie? The Edge.

My money is on the Alex R $275M contract from '04. That's at least $300M now. I can't see too many sports contracts beating that in total, or even per year as base salary.

Yes. They don't want it measured by actual tickets, because a) 3D means more dollars per ticket, and b) it would lead to insane ticket discounting to ensure a high ranking. GWTW still wins by ticket too I think.

I get that he's a dick. And hates tats. But this is EXACTLY the same stuff written about David Beckham when he was captain of England. It is possible to be anti-tat and not racist.

I agree with you. Giants/Tigers by far the least interesting story. its good baseball, but boring television. Yanks/Cards would be doing another 3-4M easy.

+1 Brilliant

Great story. If there are any vaguely threatening comments re the family in those emails, then there'll be a police visit awaiting Mr Chang.
