The Hobbit was awful. Three films out of a short-ish book was way over the top. I wonder what he'll do if he ever gets round to making a film of The Silmarillion. Bolg and Azog were mentioned in the appendices of LOTR which dealt with the war between Dwarves and Orcs. Azog was killed at Moria by (I think) Dain Ironfoot in the same battle that Thorin earned the name 'Oakenshield'. Bolg, his son, led the Orcs to the Lonely Mountain but was killed in battle by Beorn. There was no 'pale orc' as Jackson depicted. Legolas did not appear either but his father did. I understand that Jackson was trying to create a film that people would watch and that he is fixated with CGI battles and improbable mounts (a pig and a stag FFS), but you're right; he did go all PC. Watched 'The Big Sleep' last night. I hope nobody ever tries to re-make that. 'The Maltese Falcon' is on today (ditto) and, I think, the original 'Cape Fear.' After that, it's old Hammer films starting with Dracula.

Around 40,000 dead now but still let's giggle and sneer like 7 year olds cos liverpool can't be crowned champions..fuckin imbeciles.

No. More Brunos.

Anyone else feel abit uneasy about the potential sums on players in all of this, I mean I get the world doesn't stop and I get business should continue but 50m odd for a player in the current climate seems ridiculous let alone 100m etc. Considering all the wage drops maybe there will be some normality restored but I just hope United aren't found to look stupid in this crisis.

Us. Because we love a flop.

Martial Rashford---------------------Greenwood Sául-----------Bruno Fred Would be sexy.

Billing him as a “Pogba replacement” (yawwwn) which from what you’ve said could be viable, positionally at least...

Saúl is quality. He can play anywhere in midfield and do it well, but he's best at LCM in a midfield three. Leftie. Not a prolific goalscorer, but a scorer of great goals. He needs to get away from Simeone. He spends half his time playing out of position on the wing and having to do a lot more defensive work than a player of his ability should have to. Valverde won't be going anywhere. He's been Real's player of the season. Holds their midfield together.

For what it's worth episode 3 was pretty amazing. Some peak Black Mirror shit.

I was wondering how all the 'matchday fumers' are coping while there's no football..it popped into my head while I was watching 70s footage on youtube and realised i'd just yelled 'fuck sake, Nicholl!'

Maybe this season will end up as 2019/21.?

Pleased for him that he's turned it around. Got far too much grief from people, but finally now showing why we bought him.

DAMN GOOD MUSIC finished Tool's Fear Inoculum. good but probably their worst album. 7/10.

The Lord of The Rings movies are shit.

Been watching it a while - weirdly hooked after one episode. I watch Forged with Steele, too. Never seen such an irritating cunt but the boy got skillz.

Periphery - Hail Stan These guys are monstrous. that drop at 1:22
