    Not really. Looper was an action film, this has almost no action at all. But if you enjoy a good time travel puzzle you'll get a kick out of the paradox in it. It's a real mind f**k.

    Watched it tonight on my "new" android box...but had trouble with the box and it's compatibility with our horizon box. It's alright as a switch off movie. Typical "America is great" movie I thought. Maybe I'm older and more cynical now and that's why I thought it was only ok.

    I have not seen The Martian, have it hanging around as well. Maybe I'll watch it after the last episode of the expanse and the 6 Nations

    Haven't seen it either but Damon playing a scientist in Interstellar before The Martian wasn't the best idea, especially that scientist

    I actually didn't care about the movie.... I follow a certain thread and saw your troubles, just thought I'd reach out and let you know we've all been there ;)

    I enjoyed The Martian. It was entertaining but I don't understand how it got nominated for an Oscar and Straight Outta Compton didn't.

    The Martian completely missed a chance to be something great. It's Matt Damon on Mars being a goofy scientist. He has absolutely no problems being stranded alone for years. It had a chance to convey how a human would face his own mortality and loneliness against outrageous odds of survival. It doesn't even try to do that, in fact he is constantly cracking jokes to a diary cam throughout. The soundtrack is great but it shouldn't be. Go in expecting a laugh. I was hoping for something more serious.

    The expanse is a decent show. I was surprised because being produced by syfy I was pretty sure it was going to be a steaming pile of ****.

    To be fair from what I've seen of the book it's based off(I admit I haven't actually read it, just seen bits and pieces) it stays quite true to form.

    I haven't really followed the EPL but Leicester City's season has been incredible. Defying the odds!

    This time 12 months ago they were bottom of the league and looked dead certs to go down. Even if they don't win it this imo is one of the great sporting stories and if they do win it then maybe the greatest? Breaking into the elites with no money just isn't done.

    They've done very well, picked up a few bargain footballers for little money and have a fine manager in Ranieri. They have the ability to win the league alright, my only worry would be that they might lose a few if their better players in the summer to the "big boys"

    That's it. Leicester pay 30-50k per week to their top earners. City, Utd, Chelsea would quadtruple the low end figure without batting an eyelash

    Vardy has just signed a 3 year contract for 80k a week AFAIK. Doesn't mean he won't be sold in a year or so though...
