Yeah, Jada seems to be under the impression that she's acting in Batman '66 instead. Long may it continue.

À plus tard Eden Hazard, adeus Oscar - http://www.gfycat.com/ComposedCleanGemsbuck I said before the Chelsea game that we needed every single one of our players, many of whom are potentially decent but rarely perform as a collective, to do just that in order to get something. Well, blow me down if that wasn't exactly what happened. Nicely done lads, all you need now is to do the exact same thing tomorrow night.

I honestly dread to think what would have become of us without old Royston's timely intervention back in 2006, but he seems to be reaching borderline dangerous levels of self-parody these days. Citing his commitments to the Republic as reason to walk the day before a Premier League game would have been preposterous at the best of times, never mind when there are no more international fixtures until March. He probably took the job on the understanding that he'd be Lerner's go-to guy when the chop came for Paul Lambert, only to lose patience after Lambert's contract extension. Either that or he's flying out to join the rest of the 'I'm A Celebrity' cast.

All very exciting, feels decidedly 'retro' Star Wars. You can already tell that it's not directed by Lucas, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Liked seeing the various spaceships doing stuff on a planet rather than in space. Quite like the cross-shaped sabers as well, I sense there'll be fewer hands getting cut off in this one. Not sure about the droid on top of a ball though, that seemed fairly random.

Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver in the same movie? Altogether now...

Thanks to everyone who's voted so far, I love you all. Apologies to the folks nominating her, but I'm duty bound to disqualify Elle Fanning. At 16, she’s a couple of years short of our cut-off point. Feel free to edit your lists though, if you so wish.

Nude dinosaurs? Disgusting! I think they're between a rock and a hard place with that one, to be honest. Whether they follow the latest scientific consensus or remain consistent with the movie narrative, they're guaranteed to upset someone. Perhaps look for them to retcon the lack of feathers into the script somewhere - "oh yeah, real dinosaurs had feathers but these ones don't because [insert genetic techno jargon here]".

It's been a real mixed bag so far. There are a lot of things in it that objectively aren't that great, and it doesn't seem to have a clue whether it wants to be a serious cop procedural, a dark adventure or a light-hearted spoof. In a weird way that's quite fun because you never know what it's going to hit you in the face with next, but I think the best case scenario is that the good stuff is good enough to make the weaker bits forgivable. I suppose one of the biggest problems, from more of a long-term perspective, is that the story will have to arrive at a point where Gordon has no chance of winning his war against the criminals of the city. If he's able to arrest most of them over the course of a season or six, then Wayne's eventual decision to become Batman can't really be justified.

Seems the trailer is receiving praise across the board so far. So much so that the only thing people have found to complain about is the front gate of the theme park. Apparently it's 'ugly' and less realistic than it should be.

I hear they have a wonderfully soft subs bench at Brighton's Falmouth Stadium these days, warm too. As a great man (well, Steve Bruce) once said, wor all shakin' wor heads at Benty.

Much as I love Chris Pratt, I can't help longing a little for Sam Neill in the central role. He was just so believable as a dinosaur expert. Overall though, leaving aside CGI that comes across as a bit rough in a couple of the scenes, I'm generally excited (albeit in a slightly nostalgic kind of way) about the prospect of watching a new Jurassic Park film in 2015. The original still stands up as an all-time classic blockbuster, hopefully this is the sequel it truly deserves.

While 'Origins' was indeed rubbish, I will admit to having a small soft spot for 'Last Stand'. The movie had many a shortcoming (the muddled narrative, the lack of depth compared to the other X-Men outings and the mishandling of Mystique, for starters), but Famke Janssen's turn in it will always have a place in my heart. She worked miracles with limited material and gave a genuinely stirring and unpredictable performance. The scene in which Jean tears her childhood home from its foundations is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen on the big screen. Since the current plan is to launch younger versions of Scott, Jean and Storm, there probably won't be a place for Famke in this one. I'm a bit sad about that.

Oscar was outstanding in 'Drive' and 'Inside Llewyn Davis', but he usually comes across as a very understated performer. So much so that the thought of him portraying a larger-than-life villain in full-blown insanity mode is a little tricky for me to wrap my head around. Still, time will tell.

Part one of the new gameplay trailer (the second part is expected to drop on the 1st of December). Like, wow.

Very early days I know, but this is all sounding rather exciting so far. After the previous rumours of Tom Hardy being on board, I will admit to being slightly underwhelmed by the casting of Oscar Isaac. I've seen some of his serious dramatic work and consider him an excellent talent, but I'm undecided as to whether this is a role where he'll be able to do himself justice. I wonder if Apocalypse being unleashed will be a result of his timeline getting altered by the events of 'Days of Future Past'? That would be kind of cool. Giant letter 'A' on his belt though, or we riot!

The 'dating a famous pillock' effect has a lot to answer for. :persuazn:

An open dinosaur park. What could possibly go wrong?

Five points better off than at this stage last season say the stats, so I can handle plodding. Plod away, Gus.

Been there. Yeah, the criteria for voting is incredibly open-ended and I suppose that can encourage indecision at times. It's worth remembering though, that the lists can be edited as many times as you like between now and the end of the year, so if at some point you find yourself struck by an urge to rip it up and start again, all will not be lost.

Not sure if this is still the case but I had originally heard that they were taking the 'Superman Returns' route, in that the events of this new one are supposed to slot somewhere into the original timeline. I'm guessing between the events of the first two movies, because they've put the Interceptor on one of the posters. Abbey Lee Kershaw has come off worst in the character naming stakes though, I know that.

^Wot no Palvin?

Alright. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2014 edition of Bellazon's Top 100 Sexiest Women! Casting your vote could hardly be easier. Simply name your personal TOP 20 women of 2014 in this very thread (in the internationally approved format) while considering just a few trifling matters... :morning: ELIGIBILITY Any current model, actress, singer, sportswoman etc is eligible for nomination, but they must have had a Bellazon thread to call their own before the time of this post, be alive and well (well, alive at least ) and be of legal age. No voting for anybody previously without a BZ thread, anybody who died before 2014 began, or anybody who hasn't or won't turn 18 in 2014, and no placing two different women in the same spot. Please also try to vote with greater consideration for favourites of the last year than for favourites of all time. CLOSING DATE Votes will be accepted from now until the end of the year. If you're struck by an urge to edit your list after posting, fear not, but once the aforementioned deadline comes and goes, you won't be able to do so any longer. I'll then begin to count the votes and prepare the final list and pics. We'll award 25, 20, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points to those listed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on. Perhaps needless to say, the woman who amasses the highest points total will be declared the winner. P.S. One additional rule, to qualify for the final Top 100 list each woman will require a minimum number of three seperate votes. This is to avoid having anyone with just one voter reaching the final list. Women with less than three votes will be considered if we desperately need to make up the numbers, but not unless.
