I think it's very nicely done so far; like the new combat elements also.

StringerBell got a reaction from Comrade 86 in Rate the last film you saw partie deux
I’ll check it out. I could do with watching something a bit different. Last Korean one I watched was train to Busan. I used to watch loads of foreign language films when I was younger but as I get older I tend to find myself busy and just put stuff on to switch off. Shame really.
Its not a crime film but have you seen The Host? Proper breath of fresh air.

And not Korean but Asian crime, I always liked the Infernal Affairs trilogy back in the day. Don’t know if you’ve seen that? It’s what The Departed is based on.

Gary Rowett likes an Oldboy. Just look at our line-up.

Well put Mr Stringerbell. I would have explained all this myself but given the response I just couldn't be a4sed.
I have had terrible insomnia since I was a kid so to save the other half dying of sleep deprivation I find myself getting up, sofa-surfing and watching a lot of movies. Been binging on Korean crime movies recently - Old Boy as you say is the one everyone has heard of but there's stacks of good stuff out there. I'll send you a couple of links to other stuff that's cool but not so well known but you probably already know where to find such titles. The one I suggested is definitely worth a look - brutal mind!

Like you, I can't understand why anyone would just write off an entire country's output without knowing the first thing about it. It's like toddlers with their food! These days it's so easy to check out feedback on films amongst other things. I guess some folk prefer the stock-in-trade Hollywood output but franchised entertainment gets tiresome pretty quick. I guess it's symptomatic of how you look at life. Do you stick with what you know or take a risk from time to time in search of new adventures? I'm all about the latter.

I thought everyone liked Oldboy? I really like Sympathy for Mister Vengeance as well.
I love a good foreign language film. I don’t see why anyone would deliberately cut themselves off from entire film industries. Their loss. The only kind of foreign language film I’d avoid watching is the musical Bollywood types.
Foreign language films are a bit of a pain in the arse at night when you’ve got heavy eyelids though.

Yes mozza, very down to earth lovely bloke with his Scottish drawl, when he told my lad that he used to play for Scotland he stated laughing and when john asked why he was laughing he said “ Scotland are rubbish” to which John agreed !

I was really lucky to get an invite along today to the yard from John O’Hare to meet up with some of the 70s legends who were meeting up to celebrate Roy Macs 70th birthday and the annual Easter visit of Alan Hinton.
i thought I would take the opportunity to take my son along to meet some of the older players who when he is grown up will hopefully be given the status that that Steve Bloomer gets now, at least he will have a few photos to show that he really did meet the men who made us famous and for a brief moment in time perhaps the greatest football team in the world ?
when I got there I was a little embarrassed to find that I was the only member of the general public in attendance and felt a little bit out of place, the classic gatecrasher at the party, fortunately I know a number of them already and was instantly welcomed, I made sure that we sat just out side of the main group to allow them to chat to each other
Every one of them made time to come over and have a sit with us, I had of course taken some stuff to get signed as it was to good an opportunity to miss, after checking that they were ok with it they signed stuff and sat and talked and had photos with my son, he loved it and entered into some great conversation with them all, he was asking them about the odd haircuts that they had on the photos ( he is only eight) he told John Ohare that he should now be called john nohare which I’m not sure if john picked up on or not, he spoke to Alan about his white boots and got me showing Alan photos of his green boots, to a man they sat and chatted away talking about anything and everything, the numbers continue to dwindle, I felt like the man in the middle sharing stories of my recent meets with Colin Boulton, Colin Todd, Frank Wignall, john McGovern, and Peter Daniel, those in attendance (some with their good ladies) were John Ohare, Alan Hinton, Alan Durban, Roy McFarland, Roger Davies, Rod Thomas, Jim Walker and Henry newton, once again it struck me that the club should make more of a fuss of these guys whilst they are with us, let’s not wait twenty year before we finally get round to making up a song for them that we sing and the younger generation doesn’t have a clue what the names Todd, McFarland, Nish, Hector, Hennessy, Boulton, Newton, Gemmill, Davies, McFarland, O’Hare, McGovern, Hinton etc mean to Derby as a city.

The problem for me isn't the loot box itself, it's the ages to which they are marketed. As an adult I can make a choice to buy or not whilst underatanding the element of chance and overall odds of getting what I want. I doubt my 15 year old brother really thinks about it whilst blasting his Christmas money on Overwatch skins then complaining when he gets none of the stuff he was after. It's not like he can trade as you would with stickers or collectable card games.

Ah he’s said and endorsed a few things that get my goat. To be fair he’s not as bad as the other gaming fatty Bob Chipman.
On lootboxes, not a fan at all. I’m playing Battlefront 2 and it’s an extremely irritating way to progress. However, the fact that there’s a degree of separation between the real money and the purchase of the loot box probably means it’s less an example of gambling than buying a pack of panini stickers.

I think I’ve got what it takes to be a twitch streamer. Still working on my moobs though. Cleavage sells.

By the same token anyone can kick a ball about. Is it not just another form of paying for entertainment, when all’s said and done? We might perceive a qualitative difference, but it’s just a different choice.
Only playing devil’s advocate, I know nothing about it.

Gay players are a feature this year so expect to see stuff like 'Bamford sidelined for 2 weeks, anal fissure.'

Snow. Or least our country's reaction to the stuff. A couple of inches of the white stuff and the most hardened of people turn into a bunch of whiney, useless, common sense devoid ********. On Sunday morning I steadily cruised down a clear (if damp) B road at 50, only to be greeted with a line of traffic, slowing me down to 25... At the head of this stupidly cautious queue? A Range Rover Sport. With it's 4 wheel drive, automatic traction control & variable slip diff!!! All that money and not a clue how to drive it properly!!!
