Games you are playing...
My friend keeos singing it's praises, so I'll definitely try and give it a go. I'm happy to report that the hype is entirely justified. If you like things like Uncharted and the most recent Tomb Raider game, chances are you'll like it.

The Leftovers
I was on the verge of switching it off after a couple of weeks as the show was starting to irritate me a bit (especially the chainsmoking cult - 'Guilty Remnant' must be a reference to all the old cigarette butts they leave lying around), but Christopher Eccleston's performance in the third episode has given me renewed hope for the series. Let's see how it goes next week.

I was starting to get a bit nostalgic for the days when nobody could get a word out of Scholes, but I've warmed to him slightly after the aformentioned miserablist turn. It was good value for a few laughs in a way that ITV's coverage hasn't been since the golden age of Keano. Danny Welbeck = goal machine. United fans presumably planning a quick flyover at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

What are your Dream films or miniseries?
In keeping with the theme of comic book adaptations, I always thought Marvel were missing a trick by not giving Daredevil his own Arrow-style series until now. The source material is essentially a ready-made mixture of two of the most popular television genres ever, a legal drama/cop show with a superhero as its central character. Plus, portraying his powers (and those of his biggest enemies) and street-level crime-fighting antics would be well within a TV show's SFX budget. An instant winner, provided of course that you don’t cast Ben Affleck.

Official trailer has finally arrived.

A rather underwhelming start to the season then, but of course, one window was never going to be enough to turn us into an established side. Much prefer plodding along like this to what we were put through last year, we just have to be careful that the early-season draws don’t turn into defeats, like they did with O’Neill.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
So we knew Peggy would be making an appearance of some sort in 'Agents', but thanks to TV Guide we now know the specifics. This image was just released on their website...

The Avengers, Age of Ultron, Infinity War & Endgame (2012-2019)
I was a bit surprised they did that, actually. I've come to think of the Hulk movie as a minor mis-step in the Avengers saga. Not that it was bad by any means, it just lacked some of the playfulness that seems to have become Marvel's defining characteristic in recent years.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Also, word on the street is that Hayley Atwell will be appearing as Peggy Carter in the opening episode of season two, although it's apparently not yet known if she'll be in it as her younger self or as she was in 'The Winter Soldier'.

The Hateful Eight (2015)
The film is still being cast and Tarantino is yet to start shooting, but the first teaser has been leaked (it was shown in selected American cinemas last week before screenings of 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For'), hence the starting of the topic. Official synopsis reads: The Hateful Eight follows the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard when a pitiless and mistrustful group are trapped together by circumstance. Stuck together on a stagecoach the eight, including a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner, hole up in a saloon in the middle of nowhere. http://youtu.be/-6nSTRW5xBI

United's apparent policy of buying attacking players just because they're available while neglecting the base that allows them to operate is mystifying. Still, a 4-2-3-1 with Van Persie, Rooney, Mata and Di Maria as the front four does sound pretty saucy, provided Van Gaal is able to get Young Master Wayne playing as if he's interested.
