Far more valid criticism. Not that I agree mind Here's all the ammo you need by the way... Reservoir Dogs Pulp Fiction Jackie Brown Kill Bill Death Proof To get all the references he does into Pulp Fiction is a talent itself.

I'll say it again. City on Fire. Faster Pussycat... Lady Snowblood Vanishing point Shogun Assassin Samurai Fiction Sukeban Deka Black Lizard They're all woeful films. Absolute dogshit it's a struggle to sit through. Pretty much my view of Tarantino. It's a lazy criticism though. When he uses the line "You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologise." people complain he stole it from Spike Lee who's script for Do The Right Thing includes the line "If Mike Tyson beats my ass in a dream, he better wake up in apologize". No-one complains that Spike lee is a hack without a bone of originality just because it was Muhammad Ali he "stole" the line from - "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize". Nor does it account for the fact that his characters have seen the films they reference 90% of the time. Mr White knows he's using someone else's line. We all do it every day, why shoulkd film characters be any different? Jules in Pulp Fiction hasn't got a "bad motherfucker" wallet because Tarantino wants to steal the joke, he's got it because he (the character) loves Shaft. Characters are defined by their tastes. Jules likes Shaft, Vincent likes to come across as a well read, educated, world traveller with no time for television, but gives the game away later by talking about how he watches the TV show COPS. When Marcellus paraphrases "They're gonna strip you naked and go to work on you with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch." it's because he liked the line in one of his favourite movies - Charley Varrick.

He uses a smorgasbord of other peoples images and ideas. I don't think he's ever copied any individual scene. Yes, most of his work is cheesy overstylised shit. Are you sure 80-90% of whole scenes/ideas haven't been transplanted? If he was copying scenes and had no talent his films would be as shit as City on Fire, Lady Snowblood and Death Race 2000.

A qualification you rarely see fit to use.

What a nutter. Did they get the penalty?

Who was I chatting to about these schemes and the academy and that the other day? How ten of the eleven kids on the pitch are basically being encouraged to give up everything else to concentrate on football but they're only there so the one lad who actually has potential has other people to play with as he moves up the ranks. Viscious business.

Spike Jonze's new film Pedro Almodóvar's new film Eric Cantona's new film "I am not a man.....I am Cantona" Lars Von Trier's new film

He still doesn't mind giving ammo to the people that call him a rip off merchant like....

At the time he was talking about how strange the structure at the club was, it could be that the club spoke to him but refused to get rid of Wise. Perhaps. The claims are that Wise has had no input since before christmas though, so I'm not sure if they'd have based the appointment around him staying.

Any player Pele is asked about he says that tbf. When he's in England George Best was the greatest player ever, when he's in Germany it's Beckanbauer, Holland - Cruyff.... Proper lick arse.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8014179.stm The haters will be seething. What a year though. Tarantino, Von Trier, Noe.... cannit wait.

Sorry, what you referring to there?

Went to see him talk at Sam Jacks last night. One interesting thing he said was he wanted the job 6 months ago. I wonder if anyone at the club was aware of that. If so, the Kinnear appointment is all the more flabbergasting.

If they can't provide the football to get us singing I suppose knitwear and cardboard will have to do.

Have to disagree Noelie. We are still shite just not as shite for as long. You can't polish a turd. Course you can, you just have to cover it with a lacquer once it hardens.

I think that's what he meant by "read my book". I should have said "masturbate furiously in the bushes" to be clear really. Bit off topic- is your avatar you? I'm afraid it's not. He's a gentleman who manages the football team I support. Alan Shearer's his name.
