Dredd - Surprisingly good. Thought it would be dire but very tight film, just on the right side of comic book, cheese action, and CGI. Haven't been brought into a 90 minute film's context so much for a while, the attention to detail was brilliant and the sets looked fantastic. Definitely worth a look. The House At The End Of The Street - Complete Shit.

It's Mike Ashley's fault that JK is DoF. Not the fans'. Definitely going to put a tenner on him being next manager. Reckon it'll happen before Christmas.

I CAN TALK TO ANY MANAGER!

Just listening to this, he's fucking mortal, got to be. Or really really stoned.

Just found out about this. Forgot what it felt like to be baffled at Newcastle board's utter incompetence and absurdity for about 2 months. Ah well, back to the ache and pang that is supporting a club that is ran by these people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIyXJxPFVz4

Thought it was a great episode, one of the best of the series in fact. The end was dire though. I didn't want anything 'memorable' or any cliff-hanger shit necessarily, I just thought that that scene was so awfully contrived and shit. I really don't like Dany very much in the series to be honest, no consistency in her character development and/or the actress isn't good enough. Fish: What like? And why were you surprised?

Why do you think that? (Please remove the dry, sarcastic tone of that question - it wasn't intended) If you remove the perceived cause, the abjection in that act suggests to me that they are mentally unwell people - Indoctrinated into militant Islam or not. That someone can justify that act in any way shows such a leap of imagination, faith and apathy that I can only base that leap as coming from, or going towards, insanity. I also think that the term 'militant Islam' is a suspect one, as I'm not entirely sure where the cross over is, in this discussion, between islamism, 'militant islamism', ardent Sharia, the concept of revenge, and their suspect sanity. I think that by saying the likelihood that they would have been normal adults from normal kids, had they not been exposed to islam in the way that they were, and the consequential 'bastardisation' of an interpretation of a text, completely undermines individual will. And of course, the immediate answer to that is that many religions undermine and dismiss the individual as a free choosing human, but paratext and context aside, to do that to another human is so horrific that I cannot see how an interpretation of doctrine can afford you the rationality of that act. One of the blokes converted to islamism when he was 21 anyways, after a christian upbringing. That to me adds weight to the claim that his actions, and the clambering to justify them, were both done by a free willing, unwell person. I didn't say before but I do agree with that, although I would use the term vulnerable or mentally insecure instead of stupid.

Before any religious fundamentalism or political partiality or racial bigotry or whatever, they are inhumane, unwell people. It takes a particular personality profile to be able to justify that act, the utter apathy in such a form of brutality. I really do believe that psychologically, you must be abnormal to be able to do that. Any cause that is cried for whilst the act is being committed is merely a kind of means to an end product that was always there in their mental (in)stability. I'm not dismissing socio, economic, political, and religious history entirely as an influencing factor, I just perceive that the spark is in the person themselves, and not in any manifesto, religious text or doctrine, which creates the potential for such an atrocity.

So fucked up. You must be mentally ill to think that that act benefits any cause in any way (and I'd include the EDL supporters in that statement, who are using the events as a pivot). It's butchering a person man, a fucking human being.

At least he had the decency to leave his shin pads in the locker room

Brings a new meaning to the term Hoof Ball.
