You could be needing those tissues for mopping your tears up judging by what's happening at the Nou Camp:thup::rofl:

Not at all, I think other than 2/3 individual errors which were clinically finished and punished us we put in an excellent performance and fight and silenced the crowd for long periods and created some good chances.

Everyone stood up to the challenge unlike United the other night who were embarrassing.

You can lose and still be proud.

Watched Alex Garland's Annihilation on Netflix last night. I will have to watch it again. 'Starring' Natalie Portman in a not very sympathetic role - but hey - it is primarily a story of 5 girls going into the unknown...to see what is there - and the only one we really get to know is the Portman character.

Straight to Netflix without distribution in the UK as too 'difficult'. Well I didn't try and work out what was going on and just accepted what I was seeing. It was not particularly easy. Sounds and visuals at times were stunningly marvellous, and I would have loved to have seen it in the cinema. But as a film with a narrative I can see why it splits public opinion - even although the reviewers seem to love it.

Did I love it or did I hate it? I think I loved it.

Red Sparrow. It was like a 1970's spy thriller. I was waiting for Michael Caine to appear, never did though. No car chases, no gun fights, no CGI. Proper script, proper story.

I can't make out if Jennifer Lawrence can do more than one expression, Hunger Games x 3 and this all had her frozen, expressionless face, but she absolutely dominates the film. She has star presence.

The rest of the cast were excellent apart from two Brits, Jeremy Irons and Ciaran Hinds, who did dreadful mock Russian accents. Luckily they are not in it enough to spoil the film.

Go and see it.

I'd agree with the first two paragraphs but have to take issue with your swipe at Jeremy Irons & Ciaran Hinds; the award for worst mock Russian accent went to Charlotte Rampling and you don't even give her a mention. :confused:

Fair point 😁. I think because her role was at the beginning, they were still speaking at the end, I had blanked her out. They were the lasting memory because they were still speaking badly at the end of the film.

I think the answer would have been not to do any accents. That would have been less distracting than the Meerkats and after the first two minutes no one would have thought any think more about it.

Tomb Raider - decent remake, less super hero, bit more gritty, nice 2hr escape.
