    Opened over here this week. Film critic Mark Kermode delivers the SMACKDOWN on it:


    Anyone seen it?

    Seen it last week. It's pretty bonkers and I was expecting better. I must say, Dwayne has become a brilliant actor and he was the best thing about this film. They try to make him, Marky Mark and the black guy likeable idiots in the movie but they are absolute scumbags.

    Deary me..

    If they're not taking advantage of some simpleton, they're telling some spotty faced council estate chav **** how talented they are because they can 'sing' - impersonate Maria Carey. Yeah, sing can you? You and a million other people in Britain. Big f*cking deal.

    Thought it's coolness factor was somewhere between Big Brother and Bebo nowadays..

    Now, off to ride Mrs O'Reilly/ Back to Total Divas....

    I'll just never forgive those X Factor folks for inflicting Jedward on the nation, as well as One Direction. Mostly Jedward though.

    Its count down to Christmas once the xfactor starts

    I just can't see Kerry winning tomorrow. I know anything can happen in sport etc but they just don't have the legs anymore and Dublin are going in under the radar a bit considering Mayo have stolen the headlines.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I'd kind of like to see Mayo win the All-Ireland. If they lost in the final again, I think I'd have preferred to lose the semi rather than finish second again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Anybody but Dublin for me. Mayo do deserve it though, provided they haven't pissed off any aul wans at a graveyard recently.

    I feel the exact same.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,543 ✭✭✭Mick Murdock


    Hope the Dubs win tomorrow.. Mayo/Dublin final I'd be torn..

    Kerry were past their best two years go when they lost the final. Hope Mayo win it they have earned it after all the false dawns.

    I liked Pain & Gain and do think The Rock is getting really good as an actor and not just as an action hero actor though obviously action and comedy do come pretty naturally to him. Scary though to think it is a true story, a fact that they are only too happy to hit home too. I liked seing stupid characters lead a movie in a non stereotypical comedy way though, was different.

    In other news having only just spotted this and after pimping it in the Arsenal thread on the soccer forum cos he used to play for them, my mate Shane (Tracy) is in the running to get on the cover of the Irish Fifa 14 with Messi, folks can vote here if they are bothered http://extratime.ie/promotion/fifa14-cover-promotion/ literally takes 10secs and just 1 click to do so

    Well, I wouldn't consider myself a barometer on what's cool or not :pac:

    Tbh, I get all the criticisms and they are all right. Not going to argue it's some bastion of the music industry, a forming light of this generation.

    But it's a great family fun show, at least for me. Three of us sat down for the hour and a half and thoroughly enjoyed it. Won't be buying any of their music, but I find it's good entertainment for a while, much as how wrestling is.

    Which reminds me. Time to link to something I wrote a few years back.

    Have you ever googled Aertv? I don't know what it is but I have a feeling you might like it.

    Won my bet of Mayo and Dublin to win +3 points but still disappointed at how bad Kerry were at the back. Might be worth putting a few bob on Diarmuid and the knacks if Mayo are faves.

    Dublin were always going to win it, Kerry as I said on Friday are well past it nowdays(yeah they made it to the semi`s but there are fúck all good teams nowdays so its not that hard).
    Didn`t watch it I watched another premier league "Super Sunday".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Was actually watching the Kerry game on a tiny screen in a pub where nobody else was thanks to a lovely barmaid. Both games made me ashamed to claim to have an interest in soccer. Dull is not the word.

    ITS LIVERPOOLS YEAR


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Was delighted for Liverpool alright. Rodgers deserves a good chance and hopefully that United result will cut him some slack for when results eventually dip. Would love to see them get 4th.

    Its The Rodgers now ;)
    Twas 2 rubbish games but I was delighted with the win & glad Arsenal beat Spurs. Not looking forward to the dopey transfer deadline day tomorrow. I`ll go a long way to see anything dumber than Bale to Madrid.
