    Same thing can be said with Fast food. The saturated fat and cholesterol that has led to countless heart diseases. A shame too because fast food and takeaways are very convenient and cheap for most people.

    Eating McDonalds once a week won't kill you. Neither will smoking once a week. Yet both are completely advertised different.
  3. Halloween (2018) - 6.5/10 ****Spoilers**** You may be shocked to see the rating be as low as it is given the hype I gave the film. It unfortunately let me down. Don't get me wrong, there were moments I absolutely enjoyed. In fact, there were a couple scenes that were extremely memorable. However, given the hype that was built up to this movie, and how it was Carpenter's and Curtis' last attempt to finally putting the franchise to rest, it did one thing that will irritate me until the end of time....Closure. Or in better words, the lack of. I thought the beginning was fantastic. Middle was okish (thought they showed Michael far too many times. One of the great things about the original, were the brief glimpses we saw of him. In this film, there were multiple POV's of Michael that kind of ruined the eeriness for me.) You see Michael's real face a few times too, but that really didn't bother me. The ending was both incredible and disappointing. Ill get to that. I thought they did a decent attempt to capture the same tone as the original, however there were far too many cheesy/generic modern day themes that ruined it. There was a combination of great characters and poor characters. Jamie Lee Curtis yet again stole the show. The doctor was a decent addition, but left many question marks regarding his intentions. Why did he kill the sheriff? Why did he let Michael free? Was he the one who taught him to drive in the original? Why is he so interested in Michael? So many questions left unanswered and Michael bloody kills him off before we even know his backstory. Some characters seriously served no purpose. Like the granddaughter. Was there even a point to her? I know she's holding the knife at the end, but you could have literally made the film without her and it would of made no difference. The fight/chase scene between Michael and Laurie was fantastic. Bar none the best scene in the film. The first memorable moment was when Laurie pulled a "Michael", when she vanishes from his sight. The other of which was when both Laurie and her daughter trap Michael in the cage. The flames start to infuse the room, and you get a very hair-raising scene of Michael just staring at them while the flames burn behind him. That one will go down as one of the best scenes of the franchise. However, that is where it ends. No big unmask reveal. No moment where Laurie embraces Michael for the final time before killing him. No Michael speaking. Nothing. In fact, at the very end, you seen the burning room and Michael isn't even there? Laurie just traps him in the cage, burns the house down and drives off with her daughter and granddaughter, with the camera then moving closer to the granddaughters hand holding the knife that stabbed Michael. Then the film ends. If this was supposedly the last film of the franchise, there was quite literally no closure. And for that reason, I gave it such a low score. What pisses me off, is that this will inevitably lead to one film, and another, then another, and another. We wanted one film. One film only. One that had closure, and we didn't get it.
  4. Linked with Ivanovic. What the actual fuck
  5. 195K a week for 5 years. He will be injured for half of that
  6. Almost half of Liverpool's starting XI got injured during the international break.

    More people need to be aware of hotlines that are meant for this type of thing. These are nonprofit organisations, most of which are run by volunteers, that I gladly donate to. Somebody is always there to listen.
  8. Wolves and City bar none the most difficult opposition in the league on Ultimate difficulty. In December and Everton are third conceding only 7 goals
  9. Shhhhhh? Rudiger yet again hurt him hamstring whilst on International Duty
  10. Why not? Terry isn't better than those two, however he easily belongs in the same bracket of centrebacks? Decades of consistency at a high level and one of the last true hardman defenders.
  11. End of an era really. The Puyol's, Nesta's, Rio's, Terry's, etc.
  12. November in my Career mode and United are 16th
  13. The basis of Napoli's success last season was having three mobile attackers together. Insigne, Mertens, and Callejon. As quick mobile attackers are fundamentally the root to his brand of football. Giroud is a perfect plan B if we need an outlet.
  14. We have a certain french god who is a perfect plan B for the next couple years.
  15. The undeniable truth is that even if he was in good form, this style of football isn't ideal for him. Believe it or not the goal he scored last night is papering over the cracks for some fans. Shades of Torres' time with us. We still need a more mobile forward, one in the same elk as Aguero, Dybala, Mertens, etc. They can get involved with our build up and have a first touch and understanding for quick football. I like Batshuayi as a back up, but I still wouldn't trust him to lead our line. In no way, shape or form, should Hazard or Kovacic played last night. No way. I too am getting annoyed of Sarri's selections, as I still can't fathom the reason as to why Odoi wasn't in the squad. The start against City in the community shield looks to be a tease. So disappointing. Someone made a good point regarding our wingers. Pedro and Willian are ageing, Hazard has a question mark over his future, and we have a very raw young winger in Odoi who has a massive ceiling, Right now would be the ideal time to develop him and we are lucky enough to actually have him, yet we will find a way to fuck it up.
  16. Breakfast in bed must be the most overrated thing in existence.

      Not only is it totally overrated but as Berserker made a point on, crumbs in bread (it can be worse than crumbs depending on what you have for breakfast), but also very uncomfortable. I don't like it at all.

      To me half the enjoyment of breakfast time is going through my routine of making a pot of coffee, pouring some juice, and cutting up some fruit. Just sounds boring and inconvenient to eat in bed.

      I'm not even gonna ask why @Cannabis mate because it's too close to bedtime! Hahaha :banana:

  17. Makeup is incredible. Thought you made an error claiming it was Christian Bale!
  18. OK yeah this game needs fixing, primarily the game mechanics as it is very, very choppy. Also, the AI needs tweaking. Career mode ultimate difficulty, 15 games in and the AI have probably fouled me a total of 3 times. All in my own half or midfield. They are perfect at tackling and the lack of FK's or penalties defeats any realism in the game (bar the fact lower table clubs are pinging it back and forth like prime Barca)
  19. wtf is my keeper?? • r/FIFA Keepers should not be able to rewind a dive • r/FIFA Keeper refuses to touch the ball and they just tap it in. • r/FIFA Fifa 19: I conceded to this......wtf. • r/FIFA I ain't taking a full year of this... (sorry for quality) • r/FIFA
  20. Think Saturday reminded us all that in spite Luiz's flaws, he is always a big game player. Feel like the defensive issues at the weekend were down to the holes the midfield left, and the misplaced passes our wingbacks made. Luiz and Ruidger did well to cope against that.
