but good card players......

Watched the first episode of it last night and it looks good. Also started watching that OJ documentary which is interesting so far. Only seen the first part which ends as he first meets his second wife. I'm guessing it will get even more interesting from here but I did enjoy finding out about him as a footballer which I knew very little about previously.
The OJ Doc is fantastic, might be the best sports documentary I've seen, it sends the scene very well with his back-story, the way he seemed to distance himself from the black community and the inherent racism in the LA police force, it gets better and better.

Stranger Things on Netflix.
Set in the 80s and made to feel like an 80s movie/TV show.
@@StraightEdgeWizard - this will be right up your street.
Just started watching it too, very promising so far

Princess Bride still one of my favourites
(Jimbo has lost all credibility here mind)
that happened WAY before this thread....

I hate the idea that they decided they wanted to make a Ghostbusters film with a female cast. It just seems unessesary to think of film making in that way. I also can't really stand the main lass they've picked so I really have no interest in watching it.
My first reaction to the news that they were remaking it with a female cast wasn't very positive, but having seen it I honestly think they did the right thing, I think if they had done a reboot with a male cast you'd have been constantly comparing the new cast with the old cast, I'm not sure a new male cast could compete with the original line up at all.
Instead I just enjoyed the movie for what it was, there were some awesome subtle nods to the original movie and the cameo appearances of the original cast were excellent.
I'm glad I made my own mind up about seeing it....

Saw the new Ghostbusters at the weekend, I know the internet has declared it shit, but I thought it was excellent, if you can't love a Ghostbusters movie then you must be dead inside.

Went to see Louis CK live last night, absolutely fantastic.

I can confirm it'll put a tingle in your dingle.

This loon has at least temporarily derailed his own cause, since the shootings there has been very little focus on the police brutality here, instead there is a wave of support for the police, this country has an obsession with anyone in uniform, but this has inflated it exponentially, now people are lining up to deliver boxes of donuts to police departments in thanks and support for their service.
Talk about destroying your own bandwagon.

UFC
in General Chat
Its kind of funny that they were desperate for UFC 200 to be an epic celebration event but it failed pretty hard, Conor McGregor upset that plan pretty early and then the Jon Jones thing, that kid has some big problems, he's like the Tyson of UFC, unbelievable talent but seems hell-bent on self destruction, the sudden inclusion of Brock Lesnar seemed like a desperate after-thought.
There was certainly a big lack of excitement and entertainment, too much grappling for it to be engaging to the casual fan. I still can't make my mind up about Brock Lesnar, while he's still fannying around with the WWE it feels farcical, he's clearly a fantastic athlete, but pick a game.

that'll look like shite when it sheds.

That new shirt
-
I'm disappointed but not surprised, the only loyalty in football is with the fans, we often mistakenly expect players to show the same loyalty to the shirt was we do.

Kodi
in General Chat
Can anyone recommend some good Kodi add-ons, a lot of the ones I'm using, especially for live sport are really unreliable.

Was a little disappointed with Joshua, never got out of 2nd gear against an opponent who was totally out of his depth, never went to the body, very upright and rigid, he reminds me of Bruno a lot, for the wrong reasons, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, he pretty much had two back to back fights, I hope he takes a break and comes back against better opposition and then fights Wilder, seems like both want it.
-
Should just change the main event to Klitschko Vs Joshua.

was his foot in his mouth at the time?

Currently watching the ESPN 30 for 30 five part O.J. Made in America documentary, like a lot of the 30 for 30 shows its outstanding, it gives a lot of history about the racial problems in Los Angeles involving the police and the legal system as a whole as well as Simpson's early life, can't recommend it enough.

going pick one up myself and give the kid brother my current xbox one i think, i've a 4k tv so makes sense to pick it up
Yeah I have an ulterior motive with my purchase, it's one of the kids birthday's in August, she wants an Xbox One so she can inherit my old one and I can replace it with the new one.
Win, Win.

Just preordered a 2TB Xbox One S

Cars
in General Chat
Loved it personally. Not the nicest looking car but perfect for what I need. 20mile round trip commute, free charging at work and free parking in Durham/Newcastle city centre
Every electric spot is taken up by a PHEV these days unfortunately. I work with a bloke who plans his trips 20miles at a time so he never has to use petrol. Would have made more sense just getting an electric car and doing 100miles before a charge.
If I had the cash I would have bought Tesla Model S. 300miles to a charge
I took one for a test drive a couple of months ago, never felt acceleration like it, instant power and torque, it was the standard motor too, didn't have ludicrous mode, fuck knows what that must take off like !

Died of heart failure (mahoooosive amounts of steroids *allegedly)
