Last movie you saw...
No clue as to why, but I think it's known as 'Philosopher's Stone' in the UK (and I'm guessing elsewhere in Europe too) and 'Sorcerer's Stone' in the US.

Skyfall (2012)
^I did like Goldeneye a lot, though I must say, the three follow-ups with Pierce Brosnan did absolutely nothing for me. Broadly speaking, I find the Bond movies to be a pretty mixed bag and from what I’ve seen, even the most beloved Connery-era stuff is very much of its time. So if you do feel like checking out the older efforts, my advice would to be judge with a sizeable grain of salt.

^Any kind of over-the-top praise by a commentator towards a player has become known as 'the Gareth Bale treatment' in my house, such is his current golden boy status in the media. I'm no fan of Suarez either but the current 'guilty until proven innocent' attitude towards him is quite the contrast and quite the double standard, particularly after Bale virtually bragged about getting players sent off in a recent interview... I think what I'd like to see in future (though obviously, it could only be done with the aid of video evidence) would be the right for managers to 'challenge' potential game-changing decisions, as seen in tennis. If the player is found to have blatantly dived, give him a straight red card - instant punishment and justice for the team he's cheated. The retrospective ban idea isn't a terrible one, but I suspect certain players would still see diving as a risk worth taking, depending on the importance of future fixtures. I mean, you might think twice about taking a tumble in the box if your next game was a do-or-die affair, but I can't imagine a player hesitating to hit the deck for an advantage in an early-season Manchester derby if the game he'd be suspended for was a cup tie on a wet evening in Colchester.

Lorraine Pascale
Had the odd glimpse of Lorraine's cooking show but I had no clue that her background was in modelling. Finger on the pulse, as usual!

Skyfall (2012)
So the first reviews for 'Skyfall' are now doing the rounds and it's received lavish praise seemingly across the board, with many already calling it the best Bond film of all time.

As we all know, good honest British lads only dive when they're forced to by a mind-controlling device, which was brought to these shores by a bunch of pesky foreigners from a place called abroad. I only hope retrospective action is taken against Luis Suarez for inventing it.

Looper (2012)
Anyone seen/excited for this? I wasn't completely sold upon seeing the initial trailers but the more I read about it, the more I like the sound of it. Planning to go soon.
