Lenny Abrahamson's Adam and Paul, Garage, What Richard did, Frank and Room is a cracking 5 set. Improving with every film too so he could be elite if trend continues.

PT Anderson

Boogie Nights (1997)
Magnolia (1999)

Good call, I'm even coming back around to his latest one, Incoherent Mess

Just got a 1.5 page letter in an exam script about how it's mean to make them remember equations, and it makes their learning suffer. Young people, eh.

It's probably racist and sexist too.

You should lawyer up.

Depends on the quality they show it at? HD I think it uses around 2-3 gigs. I'd say the quality TV3 show it online will probably be just under a gig for 90
minutes.

BT are showing both finals in VR or super high quality 4K UHD on youtube for free.

Jeff Gross streaming his SCOOP final table. $1m up top.

[Flushdraw]

Not sure if anyone gives a shit, but Jeff Gross at the FT of the SCOOP $1k Main Event. (hole cards covered though)

He's 8/9 with $58k gtd and $1m up top.

He's a bit of an annoying name dropping prick, but been an interesting game so far.

Edit - haha FU KK82

[ComradeCollie]

On that note, I see the monopolist cunts at Three have changed their definition of a month to 28 days, meaning there's one extra topup needed a year. How any competition authority expected the merger of Three and O2 to end with not screwing customers is beyond me.

Think their biggest scam is the credit that expires after 6 months. I've ended up buying over priced movies on googleplay, just out of spite.

Guy requests a bet from Paddy Power on John Terry to be subbed off on 26 mins today (his number and its his last game). Ball is kicked out in 26th min but takes Terry until 28th to get off the pitch. Unlucky boss.

PP gave him 100/1

Guessing he got paid

Really hope this Manchester arena explosion wasn't Ra dissidents,sounds a bit more coordinated then recent Islamic terror attacks,how the fuck does someone get 2 devices into a concert arena (may be some kind of gas/equipment explosion too)

Confirmed fatalities too. In a stadium full of fucking kids. Fkin cunts whoever is responsible

WTF , what an absolute fucking cunt!

[Guest]

question for movie people. Which director has had the best 5 movies in a row?

Lumet would piss all over this if it wasn't for his affection for making the odd dog shit sandwich

[Guest]

Reservoir dogs
Pulp fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill V1
Kill Bill V2

Not the biggest fan but thats impressive.

Jackie Brown is badly written

Kill Bill is public masterbation

[Hectorjelly]

Some of the shouts for director were very poor. James Cameron! This is a new low for the BBV. A lot of the other entries verged on mediocre, Wes Anderson particularly stood out - he made one twee and over sentimental film (admittedly quite good) and then has continued the franchise making the same film over and over again. He has more in common with the makers of the fast and furious than any of the talented auteurs I'm about to discuss.

Lumet is a good shout - he had Serpico, Murder on the orient express, dog day afternoon and network in quick succession.

Frances Ford Coppola would be in the running except he released a critically panned version of the great gatsby in between his epics

2.2.2 The Godfather (1972)
2.2.3 The Conversation (1974)
2.2.4 The Great Gatsby (1974)
2.2.5 The Godfather Part II (1974)
2.2.6 Apocalypse Now (1979)

In terms of recent history Robert Altman would be up there.

The Long Goodbye
Thieves Like Us
California Split
Nashville
Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson

I've never seen Nashville but its critically acclaimed. California split is the best film about gambling I've ever seen.

And looking back to pre 1970's, Hitchcock and Howard Hawks piss all over most of the modern selections. Hawks from 36 to 31 released

Come and Get It
Bringing Up Baby
Only Angels Have Wings
His Girl Friday
Sergeant York

And lastly, the Grandaddy of them all. I'm not even going to mention his name.

The Man Who Knew Too Much
The Wrong Man
Vertigo
North by Northwest
Psycho
The Birds

More importantly, unless your phone bill is a tenner a month, what dodgy deal are you on that only gives you 7gb a month. Unlimited calls, texts, 4g is only around €25 a month afair.

Its a company phone.

International minutes>>>>>mobile data normally

Seems I have 15gigs now anyway

How much more can you do though, given the UK is already a police state. E.g. they can currently even lock up potential terrorists without trial. Apart from adopting the French strategy of putting rambo-armed soldiers everywhere important. And they don't have enough soldiers for that.

When someone is willing to give up their own life in the fight, security is impossible. MI5 said it about the IRA years ago, that if they were as extreme as others, they would not have been able to stop them.

Supposedly there was proper checks in place, bags etc, but he just got into the lobby at the end of the concert.

[6starpool]

Such a horrible cowardly thing to do.

I'm firmly of the belief that Saudi is the root of all evil.


I know you disagree, but I think Iran can become the voice of reason in that region. The Lebanon being the only reasonably sane one there at the moment.

Have you ever met any Lebanese?

they're lunatics, sometimes in the good way, but lunatics.

Anyway, they are too small and not Muslim enough to have any serious influence.
