yeah france were fucking awful. absolutely no invention. don't think it's fair to judge gomis just on that match seeing as the French team did fuck all to help him.

modric looked anything but worth 16 million as well. showed some good moments but he drifted in and out of the game far too much for someone playing center mid.

L' Année Dernière à Marienbad - Last Year At Marienbad [Alain Resnais - 1961] 6/10 -
Think you'll find we've not actually confirmed the transfer has been completed. um. no?
-
the commentary is so horrendous. i can barely hear both of them as Ronaldo's cock seems to lodged in their shit spewing gobs.
-
it's just bizarre that if it is just a meeting of minds. why isn't reported in any major media outlet? and why is it so secretive as to who is there? you don't see that with the G8 Summit.

a little bias towards conspiracy theorists but still, interesting non?

Liverpool offer unknown teen for Milner
SloopJohn replied to Scottish Mag's topic in Newcastle Forum
Liverpool have no creative flair. and unless they get any. their not going to improve on 4th. as for Insua he's FM tastic! -
dismissing something as misery music, even if it Coldplay, is extremely naïve I find their musical slant to be exceptionally melancholy. I find the singer's voice to be depressing. The whole package, to my ears, sounds fucking miserable. I have friends who love them so I have tried over and over again to 'get it' but its just not my cup of tea. I can appreciate the excellent arrangement, structure and production however I do not like there music. It sounds miserable to me. Just because I don't like Coldplay there's no need to insult me. Oh that's right, its the internet, you crack on fella. i just don't see how it's a fair criticism that's all.

just like in 2006. cannavaro missing might be a blessing in disguise. he has been awful for real madrid when i've seen him play.

Dos Santos will get bullied in the Premiership. give him 3 years and he'll be good. Vela will be better for Arsenal. trust me on this.

Well it appears you're re-writing a lot of text that has been written since the late 1950s, that disagree with you. But what the hell you're the expert aren't you? haha. i'm just saying what i think. anyway man, no need to get so uppity. -

Sloopjohn, two words - fuck off. If that's the best you can do I suggest studying something else. Maybe you should consider accountancy because I doubt you realise 0 comes after 24! Obviously academics are also lazy because Resnais's film in your opinion doesn't make New Wave. Have you actually watched it? Do you actually understand what French New Wave is? Flashbacks, use of documentary/news footage from post Hiroshima were all common production technics in 1958, weren't they? As for your comment on Weekend, maybe you can go ask one of your lecturers the importance of it because you're obviously can't find it yourself. Easy tiger. yes of course i've watched Hiroshima Mon Amour - and even though it uses flashbacks / news footage as you said, so does Mirror and that film has absolutely nothing in common with the classic French New Wave style (which is defined by a reckless and playful subversion of then standard cinema ideals). Hiroshima Mon Amour has a much slower pace, and even though it's narrative is split between the past and present, Resnais shows careful consideration when moving between these two time periods and how the images fit together. In comparison to say Jules et Jim for instance, where Truffuat shows little regard for image continuity and coherence, the films are world apart in how they approach the medium. And using news footage, Resnais had already done that with Night & Fog in 1955, which pre-dates the New Wave movement historically, so I wouldn't say this technique is a hall mark of New Wave film making. French New Wave is an extremely playful movement in general and Hiroshima Mon Amour isn't remotely playful in it's approach to it's themes of regret and how the past shapes the present - which for me - seperates the film entirely from the New Wave despite Resnais being an obvious contemporary of the New Wave film makers. as for your quip about what I said about Weekend. did you understand it? I found the film funny because it's an extreme satire of French bourgeois values - and for me, is as frivolous and generally bat-shit crazy as Super Æ. -

Hiroshima Mon Amour is not French New Wave. it's like saying Bresson is French New Wave just because he was French and made films during the 50's, 60's and 70's despite his cinema having nothing in common with the classic 'New Wave' films. critics normally include Resnais though with Truffuat and Godard because lets be honest. critics are fucking lazy. i didn't really enjoy Hiroshima Mon Amour although the opening 20 minutes were spectacular, but I'm still keen on seeing Last Year At Marienbad - which aesthetically looks really interesting. and Weekend. now that is a hilarious movie. it's like the cinema equivalent of Super æ. -
futureheads are a lot of fun live. one of the best festival performances i've seen. i'd really recommend going.

messi plays better in big games than Ronaldo. he scored a hat trick against Real Madrid last season, the second game after coming back from a long injury, and when Barca only had 10 men. that is performing at the highest level. and he was awesome in both games in the CL this season. always looked dangerous.
