Thread cleaned and reopened. Since we're mindful of how quickly disagreements can get ugly online, we ask everyone to try and tread carefully, to stay on topic at all times, and to be aware of the thin line between expressing opinions/constructive criticism (which we're okay with) and baiting/bashing (which we’re not okay with). This is not limited to the models featured here, it also includes your fellow members. As always, if anyone has any questions, feel free to drop me a PM. For now, let's get back to the topic at hand. Thanks to all for your cooperation.

I definitely think it adds something, or at least changes a few things. It's funny, but when you watch in black and white, you become a lot more focused on the shot composition and aware of the actors' facial expressions, which of course were two of the movie's real strengths. You do lose some of the power of the desertscape at times, but the War Boys become more threatening and less cartoonish.

So, a couple of years after the original release, a brief run for the 'Black and Chrome' edition of Fury Road has just started in cinemas, apparently to coincide with a DVD reissue. Supposedly, this was Miller’s preferred version. Honestly, I was dubious about this, but it did work for me. If nothing else, it gave me an excuse to go to the cinema and watch a great movie again. Fury Road was one of my favourite films of the last decade, and I still think it's superb.

At very least, it puts Le Pen's support from Nigel Farage in the shade.

Much obliged, Fred. This was of course the culmination of a long-term slide that David Moyes may not have started, but he certainly did nothing to arrest. When he arrived, it became clear very quickly that he was getting his excuses in early, and if he does end up staying on at the club, he'll no doubt spend the summer talking up the Championship and telling everyone what a hard league it is to get out of. With so many players nearing the end of their contracts, loan players going back to their parent clubs and our few potentially saleable assets presumably off as well, we'll be hard pressed to retain any sort of squad consistency in the way Burnley managed, so I suppose you'd have to say it's another clean slate, either for Moyes or a new manager. Personally, I'd be very tempted to start afresh, because not to would mean virtually everyone connected to the club approaching a new season in a league where starting well is just so vitally important with a sense of dread.

All this because Harry Kane was crap at taking corners.

It'll be interesting to find out how much of this will be woven into the main story, or if it's strictly a stand-alone featurette for the fans. With regard to what happened to Shaw, the prologue doesn't really give much away, although it does seem to be bridging the gap more between Alien and Prometheus. I would assume the most obvious implication is that if David is releasing a stack of xenomorph eggs on the Engineers' home planet, there’s no real reason for him to spare her.

It would be funny if a Last of Us movie were to happen somewhere along the line, only for people to brand it a Logan rip-off.

I'm inclined to agree. To me, the winter release dates fit the series like a glove. Other than Frozen 2 being slated for roughly around the same time, I don't really get why they're so keen on switching it to May. Can't vouch for the factual accuracy of this (if anyone quotes me I'll deny it), but I just read somewhere that by the time Indy 5 gets here, Harrison Ford will be older than the actor who played the knight at the end of Last Crusade.

I could handle the second season being delayed, but it would be a real shame if it was derailed in the way that something like Heroes allegedly was back in the day. Although I often wondered to what degree the strike actually impacted that show, and how much of it was put down as a common excuse to justify substandard writing and plotting.

There are a few missteps here and there, but I thought Pegg's script gave the movie a dose of what the series had been missing for a while, which was fun character interactions and back-and-forth dialogue. The old dynamic between Bones, Spock and Kirk felt like it was being rebuilt.

I was quite interested to go at the time, but what happened to Anton was a factor in holding off for a while. I remember when I first saw the headline, I assumed it was another tragic case of drugs or alcohol. To find out that it was nothing more than a random freak accident made it all the more heartbreaking. Honestly, I think most of the cast do a good job of portraying the attitudes and behaviour of the classic crew, but I would probably argue that Anton's take on Chekov was the most fun character of the bunch.

Dynamite game at the Bernabeu last night. Bags of incident, excellent chances and some of the best sustained goalkeeping quality I've seen over 90 minutes. The two keepers were both tremendous, each making at least three or four world-class saves. Great goal to decide it too, Ronaldo's face when Messi slammed in the winner was an absolute picture.

If I'm honest, I hadn't realised that Agbonlahor was still pulling in a wage, but I was more than happy to see him pop up with the winning goal there. I suppose you'd have to say Harry will probably still end up 'reluctantly' accepting his £250,000 survival bonus, neither Wigan nor Blackburn look capable of winning enough games to make it interesting.

I must say, as a fellow longstanding fan of the series, I had a blast with PS4 version of Arkham Knight. I can't imagine the Batmobile stuff being everyone's cup of tea, though. Driving it around the city is pretty streamlined, but as a tank used for combat between vehicles, the missions are forced upon you too often and in repetitive ways. That I would say was the only real downside to an overall fun gaming experience. Any interest in the Batman Telltale series at all? It does seem like lot of games are released in half-life (no pun intended ) states these days. Thinking back, No Man's Sky was probably the worst offender for that, it was the subject of an investigation by an advertising standards agency on the grounds that the marketing campaign was purposely erroneous from the start, and continues to be even beyond the point of release. I suppose though, as long as people keep buying these things, and the DLC content, then the business model isn't going to go away anytime soon. It's a bit like when people complain about how expensive the cinema is, and how much the popcorn adds to the price. Which is true of course, but then you look at the queues for the latest blockbusters and realise that we’ll only see major attitude changes when consumers start voting with their wallets.

For a calculated step into a different genre, I think the source material is just right and of course, what we've seen so far looks pretty appropriate for teen drama land. It'll be interesting to see how the writers introduce their powers though, since the origin story from the books was very reminiscent of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in Age of Ultron. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, how I'd love to see that. Were they to ever go there, Eva would actually be my ultimate pick for the part of Mistress Death, but honestly, I'd put anything that brought her into the MCU down as a winner.

It looks pretty different from anything Marvel has done up to now, which is quite intriguing. I feel like the aim for this is to cross over to different audiences, so even if it ends up not appealing as much to you and I, it could be a way for them to expand beyond their built-in fanbase and those already watching the Netflix stuff, Legion, and to a lesser extent AoS.

Even in the early days, I'd find myself craving more of the 'monster of the week' type stuff, but if they'd concentrated fully on delivering a proper conclusion to the mythology, the six-episode run would have felt, at the very least, more coherent. Not only was Carter unable to handle the scripting or directing, he also couldn’t seem to make up his mind what the series was supposed to represent. The George Lucas of the franchise has become, well, the George Lucas of the franchise.

Truly heartbreaking news about Ugo Ehiogu this morning, it only feels like yesterday that he was still playing. RIP big man.

Not surprised that it's coming back since the ending of the last season practically demanded it, but man alive, what a terrible mess the mythology has become. The direction Carter chose to take backed the series into such a tight and ludicrous corner, it would take a u-turn akin to the one in Dallas to get out of it.

I guess it's an irrelevance now since he was cast in the next Thor movie, but I can't help thinking of Jeff Goldblum for the first one.

Yeah, she's usually associated with either Daredevil or Deadpool, but arguably Jessica's only notable enemy in the books is Kilgrave, and of course, they already went there. Plus, some of Mary's origins would be a great fit for a Jessica Jones arc.

Oh Lada is right.

@toodarnhot @Kevork89 @Stromboli1 @Shepherd Anyone end up seeing this, then? I only just got around to taking a look. It doesn’t go to many places that Trek movies haven’t gone before, but the action is spectacular and a fairly simplistic plot gives way to more character-driven stuff, which you can tell the cast are having fun with. I kicked myself afterwards for not giving it a shot on the big screen.
