AcidBurn Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I know. I desperately want to see it but I have just had so much on my plate lately that I haven't had opportunity. I am hoping with the completion of my course I can get to see it before they take it off screens.I didn't know much about Guardians of the Galaxy, but having read up on it I am looking forward to it. Batista . Well worth a cinema viewing if you have time the 3d is pretty good at times. Batista has the right look I'd have preferred Jason Momoa but he turned it down due to money, the character that Batista will be playing is one of my favourite comic book characters and I can see Batista doing it pretty well just need to turn him green!

AcidBurn Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm looking forward to Zoe Saldana as Gamora she is kick ass, I don't think they've cast the voice of Rocket Raccoon or Groot(tree beast) yet although I might have missed it. I've probably asked you before do you read comics? There's some very short free Guardians of the Galaxy ones on marvel.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I haven't read the comics at all. Until I heard they were making a film, I didn't have a clue about it at all. I knew about Zoe Saldana. Liked her in Star Trek and looking forward to seeing the second one of those too. Also can't wait till Ant-Man is released to start the third cinematic phase of Marvel.

AcidBurn Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I saw a small clip of Ant-man the other week obviously hard to judge or get anything from it as it was only 30 seconds long just showed him shrinking and beating someone up. Star Trek was very good, a few plot holes but with loads of action and Kirk is awesome. The best news that I've seen lately is the Ghost Rider and Blade are now back in Marvel/Disney hands. I think they could do a good job of Ghost Rider(another of my favourites)given the mess someone made of the second film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Evening all (or afternoon depending on the location). Gutted there is no football at all on over here tonight, Seeing as it is on at 1am Sunday here now i wont be watching the last games as i have work on Monday. A shame as i fancied flickinmg between the Arsenal & Spurs games as that is all that left to play for. I will be watching the cricket where the Kiwis seem to be backing up the good form from home soil. When did the last day of the season games all go to a Sunday? Is this a new thing this year or has it happened for the last few years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I am sure it has been like that for a while. Not that I am certain on that. I'll be honest and say that usually by this time in the season i have switched off from football as most things have been decided. I usually just check to see how Wigan are doing in the escape bid, sadly i wont be doing this next season, so dont pay attention to the fixture dates usually. Still it is an ashes year and i will be watching the games in England on TV and going to a few with some English mates over here. Don't tell McGougan but i will be wearing an English cricket top when i go over here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Really looking forard to it. Should be good for England as Australia have an awful team. I can't really see any match winners other than Clarke for them. Also appointing Haddin as no1 keeper and VC is a huge risk. i watched him over here recently in a 20/20 game (admitedlly not the best format of the game to judge people by) and he was awfull, let so many easy chances go by.

RTHerringbone Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Strange start to my FM evening. Started with huge disappointment at my Spurs save corrupting just 2 weeks before moving to a new stadium. Then Cleon pointed out how to recover old saves, and my 2024 Barca save appeared! My best CM/FM save ever by several country miles, absolutely delighted to be back. It is sadly like meeting up with old friends.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 It's great to be back there. I'd spent ages building up a great young squad and backroom team and thought I'd had it all whipped away. Plus it's 2024 so there's hardly any "real" players left. Also have the best player I've ever had back. Since "losing" the save, I've done a load of tactical learning and because each of my tactics evolves from the last, I'm rolling out my latest couple of shapes on Barca. I do bloody love this game sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Damn it, I can only get a save back from a week ago. I was a bit miffed to only have one from three days ago. Fortunately the process revived my best save, not my most recent one. I've changed the regularity of my rolling autosaves since - you need to feel the pain to learn the lesson.

MichaelBrown Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Apparently Neil Lennon is the odds on favourite. Otherwise you have to be looking at Martinez. Can you see it working? I can't.

I don't think Lennon would be the right man. I don't really rate him as a manager really to be honest. I think Martinez will probably get it, although he needs to sort his teams out defensively. Maybe working with better defenders than at Wigan might help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
