Beaten Newcastle three times in a row, annoyed Stoke City twice in a week. My career as a football fan may have peaked!

A few highlights from the recent piece in Empire Magazine, placed in spoiler tags as a precaution. The jist of the article appears to be that everyone involved basically thinks 'Last Stand' and 'Origins' were terrible...

Looks as if they've taken Quicksilver's name a tad literally, although to be fair, no one in the photo is in full costume.

Poster reveal.

^ Here's another new one from the forthcoming St. Vincent album. The subtle head movements freak me out slightly.

Dum Dum Girls go second wave goth.

Chvrches cover Bauhaus's 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' in candy coated fashion.

Here's the new one from Beck. How on Earth can it be six years since his last album?

So, erm, Adel Taarabt to AC Milan is actually happening.

Only caught the highlights of the game, but I very much enjoyed Diego Lugano's tragicomic performance art piece!

Unlikely that one will go down in the annals of time as a classic Premier League thriller (few games involving Sunderland, and even fewer involving Stoke, do), but if there’s one thing that we can't complain about at this stage of the season, it's taking points before performances. We dominated, we let them back in, we got hold of it again, then we finished the game under pressure. Hardly emphatic, but it brought us what we so desperately needed - a home win.

:Dinah:

David Ngog? Don't Swansea know Kevin Doyle and Danny Graham are available?

Hello, good evening and welcome!

Hello, good evening and welcome!

Inside Llewyn Davis. Virtually no mention of Oscar Isaac this awards season, which is staggering. :baronlamesign:

Thanks Fred! Suspense, intrigue, gripping finale complete with avant garde penalty shoot-out - the game should be nominated for a BAFTA. I've yet to determine whether a one-off meeting with a potentially rampant Man City is a prize or a punishment, but I applaud the lads for the magnificent achievement of reaching the final. Hopefully, it's onwards and upwards from here in all competitions.

The Flash is an American television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns, airing on The CW. It is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / The Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. It is a spin-off from Arrow. The series follows Allen, portrayed by Grant Gustin, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities. Initially envisioned as a backdoor pilot, the positive reception Gustin received during two appearances as Barry on Arrow led to executives choosing to develop a full pilot to make use of a larger budget and help flesh out Barry's world in more detail. Colleen Atwood, costume designer for Arrow, was brought in to design the Flash's suit, which was modeled after the comic books. The creative team wanted to make sure that the Flash would resemble his comic book counterpart, and not simply be a poor imitation. The series is primarily filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Flash premiered in North America in 2014, where the pilot became the second-most watched premiere in the history of The CW, after The Vampire Diaries in 2009. It has been well received by critics and audiences, and won the People's Choice Award for "Favorite New TV Drama" in 2014. The second season premiered on October 6, 2015, with the series renewed for a third season in March 2016. The series, together with Arrow, has spun characters out to their own show, Legends of Tomorrow, which premiered on January 21, 2016.

Captain Kirk meets Female Sulu!

Thanks Shepherd!

It might fit in with the rumours about Robert Redford playing an older version of Strucker in 'Captain America 2'. I wonder if they'll have him use the 'Satan Claw' to make himself younger and then replace Redford with Thomas Kretschmann, who I believe is now confirmed to play the part in 'Age of Ultron'. There's going to be a hell of a lot of stuff going on in this movie, but I suppose we have seen Whedon successfully handle a mass of characters in the past. If anyone can pull off such a mammoth ensemble piece, it’s him.

Guess we'll be needing a slight edit of the thread title.

Funny: whenever Brendan Rodgers starts talking up Liverpool's title chances, they drop points in the very next game. Unfunny: there's a strong possibility of Phil Jones starting games for England at the World Cup.
