The pro (club) game is not sustainable in most countries. it’s propped up by billionaires, corporations and/or revenue generated from other levels, namely internationals. So, the solution seems to be, play more tests so we can continue with the unsustainable stuff..... It’s nuts. Players are paid t...

Just go ahead and tell me the ending and how unrealistic it is, cheers.

Eh?
You just revealed a bunch of huge end plot points from BB.

Which ones exactly? The show aired like 9 years ago!

'I know this much is true' - HBO / Sky This show is absolutely brilliant. One of the most moving, emotional TV shows I've seen for years. I'm 4 episodes in. Yes it's downbeat, but the Direction and acting is so impressive. I've enjoyed Cianfrance's films like Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the ...

This is a good article on Kim's character in BCS. May contain spoilers:

The Unions and World Rugby really think they own the game, and everybody in it. Bunch of amateurs working in a professional world. Good on the French for standing up and protecting their businesses. French and England clubs could boycott internationals as legal spat brews over global calendar negoti...

Except I didn’t let it slide, I pointed out that as one of the show’s weaknesses.

Fair enough. I'm going to keep watching. It's excellent.

Maybe relatable would be a better word - this stuff isn’t exactly cinema verité is it. You picked out Kim as being the key character for you but I find her one of the less well drawn. I’m not saying BB is without its faults either - the female characters across the board aren’t that strong. Why do ...

I don’t get the love for Better Call Saul, I mean, it’s OK, but for me it detracts from Breaking Bad. I didn’t feel Saul needed a back story anyway - he was a bit of a shyster at the start of his career, so why do we need 6 series depicting his fall from grace? Good luck pitching that idea to the n...

Who for one would have guessed that English and French club owners didn't give the first fvck about the global game? I for one am shocked. :shock: Why in god's name would a business owner in Paris, (with his own multitude of financial problems to think about during an economic crisis), care about t...

What an utter tw@ of a bloke Mark Robinson is. French and English teams apparently "stubborn" because they won't do what New Zealand want because that would lead (private businesses) to downturns in tv income etc. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/300035469/nz-rugby-boss-mark-robinson-...

Saviano's a great writer.

What channel will it be on in Ireland (and/or the UK)?

The credits thank Amazon TV so I expect it's on there.

Holy shit - 'ZeroZeroZero' is good.

Both absolute bangers. Don't Look Now is peak psychological horror.

DARK, the best show of the last 10 years, returns this month with season 3. I really really hope it can keep up the standard. the end cliffhanger had a small whiff of jumping shark but I would love to be proved wrong. You guys watching that in german? Or synchronized in english? I have watched the ...

To say I enjoyed Martyrs would be a lie but I'm glad I endured it. I agree that it goes off the rails after the hour mark when you get into the secret society type stuff, but as an exercise in holding near unbearable tension I thought it worked, unlike Funny Games which I hated throughout.

Would that be like, Gasper Noe stuff? Noe isn't really horror in the strict sense though. 'Climax' and 'irreversible' have horrific elements (both amazing films) but are more social commentries than horror. 'Angst' is the most horrific film I've ever seen - recommend it 100% as it's just so hyper-r...

Paterson. A beautiful movie about poems. Jim Jarmusch's best, imo. Lovely film. Not Jarmusch's best though. 'Coffee and Cigarettes' and 'Night on earth' are better.

You can tell that the Welsh lost again.....all the laws need changing. Hilarious. World Rugby literally changed the offside at ruck laws when Italy nearly beat England by not engaging with the ruck. When did that happen? I hope you're not talking about the match where we thumped Italy 36-15. Nearly...

More English thuggery against Wales (u20s), that was incorrectly punished at the time. How did the officials think that was NOT a red? There is huge incompetency at all levels of the game officiating wise.

4 week ban for this:

Frankly there's still a lot that goes unpunished when it comes to making high contact with try scorers. Every week of the Premiership someone seems to score despite a seatbelt tackle or worse, but because the try is scored it just gets ignored. That's a huge bugbear of mine. Yellow card infringemen...

Anybody remember this one from Scarlets v Ospreys a few years back? The result was a scrum to the defending team. Attacker (Andy Fenby) was adjudged to have knocked on. The defender (George Stowers) was subsequently cited, and cleared of any wrongdoing - as the panel believed that he was just trying...
