Re: movies

To be honest I haven't seen the recent ones.

I've seen the prequels and thought they were fine. Not classics, but entirely watchable as long as you don't compare them against the originals. I didn't even dislike Jar Jar Binks as much as I thought I would.

Re: movies

Empire Star Wars Return Correct order and the proper title as well. None of this "A New Hope" nonsense that appeared years later. From IMDB When the film was originally released in 1977, it was simply referred to as "Star Wars"; though supposedly, George Lucas had intended to in...

Re: The (Un) Official Football thread

Meh. Not even close to the most goals scored in a year. But anything that pisses off Alan Shearer is fine by me.

Re: The (Un) Official Football thread

Re: What made you Lol Today?

Totally crap and pointless article on the BBC website about "battle jackets", we never called them that back in the day BTW.
