    Ugh.. what a great opportunity missed to go to second and close the gap on Chelsea a little before going to the Bridge next week. Surely the race is over now.

    Who were your favourite Bond girls?

    I used to think as a 12 year old that Kim Basinger was quite a good bond girl..god she hasn't aged well though.

    Oscar 2005 Thread

    Well no, since almost all of those movies were released in America in 2005. There are a couple (Transamerica and The New World) that might've been released in early 2006, but they qualify as 2005 movies nonetheless.

    I can't believe D'Allesandro signed for Pompey. My god does the man have no self respect? Oh well, I'm sure he'll be available on the cheap once they get relegated. Murphy will supposedly be played in an advanced role, so he's actually not another midfielder, but another striker. Defoe almost...

    memoirs of a geisha

    seremify- interesting that Pumpkin's accent would piss you off, seeing as how she's the only one of the 2nd generation geishas who speaks with a Japanese accent :p

    Re: The Football Thread : 2005-06 It would far, far exceed the Ole love for United fans Ryddecker. I'd say Reds worship Robbie as much as Madrid fans worship Raul.

    OLDBOY (spoilers!!)

    Re: Oldboy: I'm lovin' it Far from the best Asian movie ever made. Agree with walrusbear 100% about it being too contrived. The movie cheats with the explanation a bit really. What 'the truth' all boiled down to in the end was the bad dude having more than a few screws loose. I hate...

    DEATH WISH NICK - what's the max. subjects UOW lets its 1st yrs do?

    You're nuts. Take your time and enjoy your years at uni. Cram so many subjects into a 2 year time frame and you'll not only be compromising the quality of oyur work but also your enjoyment of your time at uni as well. Why do you want to graduate so early?

    memoirs of a geisha

    Well.. like I said, I don't know whose fault it was. What I do know is that somewhere along the production process for this movie.. whether it was the telling of the story to Golden in the first place, or Golden's interpretation of the story, or the scriptwriter's interpretation of the novel, or...

    memoirs of a geisha

    Just got back from seeing it. It's quite an appropriate movie for Rob Marshall to direct- all style and no substance. A few things: * I've always defended the use of the foreign actresses for Japanese roles. Now that I've seen it, I have to concede it was a collossal mistake. For anyone who...

    I was referring to Vidic :p Everyone thought that Evra would be a class signing as well, but man did he stink when we saw him on the pitch. Yeah, yeah, early days I know :p

    Smith take down Gerrard? Fat chance. If for some reason Rafa decides to deploy Gerrard in the centre rather than the right, Gerrard will run roughshod over him. If not, Sissoko will.. and will probably get sent off in the process.. The Mike Riley factor will give United the edge I'm afraid.

    icecreamdisco presents: THE YEAR IN FILM

    Yeah d/l. Not having ever been to London, I had no problem with (or noticed anything peculiar) about how it was portrayed. Critics of the depiction of London are surely nitpickers though.If they had a problem with the depiction of the British upper class, I suppose there might be some reason for...

    Pool vs United tonight! For me, the biggest game of the year. If Liverpool win this, we'll be looking very rosy for 2nd indeed, if not, we're more or less out of the title race. Having said that, I don't know if we'll get anything more than a draw.. unless Fergie decides to play Evra again...
