You could do a lot worse than watch it for a quarter of an hour. It's quite something. Apparently made by a production company which makes direct to video films which piggyback big budget blockbusters out at the same time. Check out the names of their films and the ones they piggyback:

Is the mini-series The Take worth watching? I have decided that I should watch everything that Tom Hardy is in because I've become a huge fan of his acting. Watched Warrior last night, and am planning on watching Bronson tonight.Comment

Yeah. Was also checking out future Del Toro directed films and I see that a sequel to Pacific Rim is to be made. Love that film, and love Del Toro.Originally posted by PSV58 View Post
Can anyone recommend HP Lovecraft short stories? I want to listen to some on audio, listened to Call of Cthulu last night. It was fun, albeit a tad boring. I have a slight fancy for that kind of stuff, and loved crap films based on Lovecraft stuff, especially Necronomicon shenanigans. But I don't, and tbh probably won't, read fantasy. But I can listen to them if someone can recommend.
My commitment probably won't stretch to a novel length, so good short stories of his to listen to would be appreciated.Comment

Weird dream last night.
Was sitting on a footpath somewhere and Jack White sat down next to me. I am quite starstruck but we chat about some stuff. I tell him I like Arcade Fire but don't think they are nice people. He takes out a cassette box with some elvis prestly songs Ive never heard of handwritten on the inlay card along with the word "soldier", which is not one of the songs. He writes something on it which he says is the name of a documentry about Arcade Fire that I should watch. He then sketches ARCADE FIRE on a canvas with a painting of a town on it. When he tilts it at a certain angle to the light it says I HATE GREENDAY. We both find this funny for some reason. I ask him if there are any artists he hates and he instantly says Meatloaf. He then excuses himself and has to go.
I'm alone now somewhere down on the west side of Galway city...dominick street area but the buildings are taller. Its night time and the streets are deserted. I don't feel safe walking so I decide to fly instead - a neat trick I can do in my sleep - although I can never fly very high. I want to get to quay street where I will feel safe to walk again. I'm flying along about three stories up when I see someone in a purple jacket with the hood up trying to get in a window. I look down at the ground and a girl is looking up at this person - they're obviously together but I'm not sure if they're trying to break into this place or maybe they live here and have lost their keys. I fly over and land on a window just above the purple jacket person. They still don't see me so I make a funny noise. The person - a girl with red curly hair - looks up and gets a fright, slips and falls to the ground. There is a terrible smash as her head hits the footpath and there is blood pouring everywhere. Her friend attends to her silently then moves away. I'm still on the window unsure if I should leave the scene or go down and try to help. I certainly feel like I'm responsible. I look around and see her friend attending to another person lying on the footpath who is also bleeding and shaking. I cowardly decide to flee the scene. I wake up immediately very upset.
This is one of the most vivid dreams i think I've ever had. Got out of bed to get my head together and checked my phone. Message from my sister in australia. "Dont worry I'm nowhere near the siege. Had the day off work. Let Mum know as she'll worry." (she works in Martin Place in Sydney). Didn't know wtf that was about. Thought I might still be dreaming so slapped myself across the face. Turns out I was awake. Weirder night overall than I'm used toComment

Presumably so. Whoever wrote it couldn't even get the simple first sentence correct. The term "quarter" makes no sense in that context, it cannot refer to the first quarter of the year, and it cannot be a quarter of the 6 months shown. They must have meant to write "half" instead.Originally posted by TheJiggaman View PostComment

I think at this stage, City have to be looking to beat the likes of Barcelona. They're arguably the third best team in Spain. There will always be teams like Bayern, Real and Barca out there, so if you want to be the best, you're going to have to beat them eventually. City have had long enough now and enough experience (in modern football terms) that targeting a win versus them shouldn't be too much to ask.Originally posted by pokerhand View PostFFS city don't seem to get much luck with these draws

I'm not saying Barca are bad in case it's coming across like that, but they're not the dominant monsters they were. They're still very, very good mind, but City have to be looking to move up to that level.

Hey Guys,
Been a long time but I am looking for a bit of tech advice. My laptop is infected with some sort of virus every time I use Internet Explorer or Google Chrome these annoying adds keep on popping up. No matter where you click on the page it seems to just open another page with more annoying adds.
I have Malware Bytes and Microsoft Security Essentials installed (free versions) and have ran them several times but these don't seem to remove these annoying adds.
What else can I do, It is as bad now that my laptop is becoming virtually useless every time I try to use the internet. Is it looking like I am going to have to spring for some decent Antivirus
Any help would be really appreciated.

Didn't really see much difference in the final few episodes from earlier ones that turned people initial enjoyment of the show to hatred, whatever issues that were there at the end have been longstanding.

Seems to have gotten rid of that QV9.com webpage that my browsers kept using as a home page, but still have a few random adds popping up, like "adds by addswizard" and some other articles advert. Still a hell of a lot better than it was.
