International trailer featuring (I think) more new footage...

I'm in two minds, but willing to be won over. Lin knows how to shoot action so the trailer certainly moves, I suppose the hope is that the slick visuals and outlandish set pieces eventually give way to more story and character-driven stuff.

Jose mutually consented by Chelsea. I wouldn't want to be their next opponents... d'oh!

Let's see what the first wave of Star Wars reviews says.

It's always good fun, whenever there's a job available in the Premier League, to take a look at the bookies' favourite candidates and see how far down the list David O'Leary and Alan Curbishley are. I'm beginning to think that they're still included just to be polite, like someone invited to a party that nobody actually wants to see turn up, but it would be rude not to have asked them.

The first official trailer debuted yesterday, hence the starting of the topic.

Star Trek Beyond Release Date: 22 July 2016 Director: Justin Lin Star Trek Beyond is an upcoming American science fiction film and the sequel to Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).

Kirk and Commander Spock, with Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho and Anton Yelchin reprising their roles from the previous film.

@Limerlight Yeah, I think if you were going to try some Marvel stuff, you could do a lot worse than to use 'Civil War' as your starting point. Superheroes fighting each other isn’t a new or interesting thing in itself, but the subject matter is realistic and the political thriller vibe gives the story some real weight. The only drawback is that it doesn't really work as a standalone piece unless you're familiar with the whole cast of characters.

Saoirse was just brilliant in 'Brooklyn'. Even at the young age of 21, she already has a body of work that the majority of actresses would kill for.

It looked like Klopp was going to turn into the Incredible Hulk towards the end of the game, although in fairness, I doubt I could spend two hours in the company of Tony Pulis without losing it at least once either.

As a great man once said in this very thread, viva redheads!

Europa League last 32 draw Valencia vs Rapid Vienna Fiorentina vs Tottenham Dortmund vs Porto Fenerbahce vs Lokomotiv Moscow Anderlecht vs Olympiakos FC Midtjylland vs Manchester United Augsburg vs Liverpool Sparta Prague vs Krasnodar Galatasaray vs Lazio Sion vs Braga Shakhtar Donetsk vs Schalke Marseille vs Athletic Bilbao Sevilla vs Molde Sporting Lisbon vs Bayer Leverkusen Villarreal vs Napoli St Etienne vs Basel

Champions League last 16 draw Gent vs Wolfsburg Roma vs Real Madrid PSG vs Chelsea Arsenal vs Barcelona Juventus vs Bayern Munich PSV vs Atletico Madrid Benfica vs Zenit Dynamo Kiev vs Manchester City That great week for Arsenal shows no signs of abating.

Big Sam called the Watford game a six-pointer in midweek, although I can't honestly say I've heard of a six-pointer where the opposition are 13 points and 12 league positions clear of you. Oddly though, I didn't feel entirely disheartened afterwards. A desperately disappointing result, but a lot of the players put in a hard shift, and goals should come if they maintain this work ethic.

It may not be the biggest sell, but Gent are without doubt one of the stories of the season so far.

Official trailer has arrived.

A game United had to win so, obviously, they went for it. The problem was that in doing so, they also proved that their defence is, in fact, a bit crap. Although in all honesty, qualification was probably lost to them after the draw with PSV.

Just finished the first episode. It seemed to take a while to get going, but I really liked the tone. Ritter is nailing the character and Luke Cage looks like he just stepped off the page, in a good way. They've made Kilgrave menacing too, even though Tennant hasn't even shown up yet. Great stuff.

Blasphemy! They could stand to cut back on the references to Clark, but it's been a surprisingly tight and enjoyable show up to now. I'd go so far as to say Kara is the most charming character on TV at the moment. Sadly though, they've missed a golden opportunity with regard to Jimmy Olsen's wardrobe. Here we are in the one and only time period where they could have put him in his trademark dickie bow and legitimately called it fashionable, and they don't do it. Because these are the things that really matter, obviously.

Confirmed that Martin Freeman will become a recurring MCU character after Civil War. They probably just want him to have a scene with Doctor Strange. From what I've been reading about the movie and what's to come in Phase 3, I'm excited about what they're doing with it. The original Civil War comic book had its critics, but this seems to be taking the best plot points from the source material, straightening them out and even improving upon them. I like that the root cause of the conflict this time around will be the Winter Soldier himself.

I could think of worse faces to have tattooed on one's skin, if one was that way inclined.

I too wish they'd saved that. Doomsday isn't enough of a hook for folks who wouldn't otherwise want to go, so all they're really doing is giving away a big plot point (if not the entire plot of the film), for no other reason than to pad out a trailer. Probably safe to assume that he won't be getting his original backstory either, although to be honest, bearing in mind that he was always more of a plot device than a fully fledged character, I'm not too put out by that. What's strange is that they seem to have taken the origin of Bizarro and just sort of grafted Doomsday onto it instead. Which I guess could be quite interesting, but it'll also likely deprive this universe of a Bizarro proper.

Trailer #2 has arrived.

Also, Superman seems to have super eye-makeup removing powers. It's interesting that Snyder has almost completely reversed the roles of his two leads here. In the comics, Superman is usually the golden boy and the beacon of hope, while Batman is the dark, flawed character with the questionable moral compass. On most of the promotional material we've seen seen so far, Superman seems darker and meaner than Batman, which to be fair, feels quite weird.
