Re: The OFFICIAL filum thread 2.0.Accept no substitues.
Saw late night with the devil. Great production/set design and comedy, not particularly horror heavy but very good and only 90 mins. David Dastmalchian is great in it as a slimey, Partridge type character set, worth it for him alone. Recommend if your looking for something to watch at the cinema whe...

The mangled/distorted stuff with subtitles? I assumed a Navigator, but I like your idea, too. :thumbup: It would be fitting and cool imo. Probably isn't, but still.

Don’t get why we have persisted with him, POM and Murray when its clear that none of them are going to make it to the next World Cup.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread
I thought Larmour did fine, all things considered. I expected Scotland to launch bombs down his throat all afternoon but they never really did. Any kicks that went near him were easily dealt with and he caught all of them. Sure, he didn't exactly attack the line when he fielded a kick but none of o...

You don't pick a 12 for pace. Not sure what Ringrose being out for a few weeks has to do with Ireland? Well to put a finer point on it, Ringrose getting concussions like this worries me.
