Devon Malcolm

Obviously, and understandably, best known for being so ace in TNG but I cannot recommend his performance in Green Room highly enough. Genuinely frightening. Brilliant actor. Absolutely shit news.

Finally some good news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cmgr8l87edyjo

It knows it's stupid but doesn't wave it in your face like it would have done if it was made today. King tried to make a fun film with a ridiculous premise and did a great job.

I've watched it about 20 times. I love it. I think of it every time I use a cash or vending machine. Emilio Estevez said he wrote a screenplay for its sequel and was hoping to get funding for it.

Who the fuck wants to see an Ali G movie in 2026? He wasn't funny at his peak.

Ghostbusters 2 is nowhere near as good as the original but that's because it was a thankless task following it. It's alright.

I thought that was Nikki Cross!

The first person to argue for anyone other than a forward, good lad.

He's the exception to the rule, though. What is it, two midfielders in the last 20 years and that's it? No defenders since Lothar Matthaus? It's shite.

A truly stupid award that only ever gets given to forwards. Bin the whole fucking thing. Congrats, Harry!

He even pulled out the Phil Jones.

I reckon United need to spend around £600-700 million to put together a squad capable of challenging for the league. And due to FFP, they're probably going to have to spread that over 4 or 5 summer windows. So you're looking at 5 years before they're realistic title contenders and that's only if recruitment suddenly becomes good, they get rid of a bunch of crap players on massive contracts, they hire the right coach, the ownership fucks off and the new ownership aren't cunts, they don't spend all that money on the new stadium, and the players coming in actually perform. I think they're completely fucked because I don't think any of the above will happen.

Sped up since his playing days, then.

Liverpool vs Brighton was a load of fun as expected. Araujo is a real throwback as a full-back, just thunders into tackles and absolutely twats it if he gets a sight of goal. Wirtz is starting to look like something resembling a football player. Gakpo has been unplayable since I said he was shit. You're welcome, Liverpool lads!

Iron Lung Markiplier can't follow in the footsteps of the Phillippou brothers and Kane Parsons on the 'YouTubers making great horror films' front, unfortunately. Very long and very dull, can only see this appealing to fans of the game as I never knew what the hell was happening. Not a total disaster but just not very good. It Ends Huge disappointment. Timeloop-ish horror film about some college friends stuck on a road that goes nowhere both literally and figuratively. Never amounts to anything more than lots of shouting and boredom. I don't see the fuss at all. The Wailing (2024) Excellent Spanish horror with shades of It Follows. One of the few horror films about trauma that actually works. Can see why Ester Exposito is such a huge star in Spain, she's great here, but Argentine Kristen Stewart (Malena Villa) is even better. Shocker Wes Craven's absolutely mental sci-fi horror film about an executed serial killer (Walter Skinner himself!) who comes back to life as an electrical force. The TV shows scene might be the best thing Craven ever shot. Brilliantly inventive and a fucking blast. I Bury the Living Superb old psychological horror film about a cemetary manager who thinks he's killing off half his town via a curse. Surprisingly bleak and atmospheric, one of the few American 1950s horror films outside of the sci-fi monster ones that works. Marebito J-Horror outlier about a mentally disturbed photographer who finds a feral woman chained up under a Tokyo subway station. Nothing like most of its peers and all the better for it. Not the happiest film you'll watch though. The Nest (1987) Cockroach infestation sci-fi horror. Watched half of this out of the corner of my eye. Some superb practical effects from what I saw of it, goes enjoyably daft near the end. Good fun, I think! Homicidal William Castle made some amazing films around this time and this is no different. As much as it borrows heavily from Psycho, it's also completely its own thing and also far more mental. Loved it. Night of the Reaper Appalling slasher film from the same guy who directed Bodycam, which was also fucking shite. The last half an hour is some of the stupidest shit I've watched for ages. Buzzkill From the director of Slay, another fun horror-comedy with a weird gimmick of the central character seeing visions only when she's drunk. Jem Garrard definitely has something, it's just a shame they're stuck with Tubi money. Happy Birthday to Me Definitely one of the weirdest and most unpredictable slashers of the 80s. I don't love the big swing it takes at the end but the rest of it always kept me guessing and some of the death scenes are still brilliant to this day. Inferno (1980) Probably Dario Argento's most incomprehensible film, and that's saying something. He still makes it work through sheer style, brutality and unpredictability. One of his very best. Zombie Flesh Eaters I didn't used to like Lucio Fulci that much but he's grown on me in recent years and I much prefer this to when I first watched it over a decade ago. Slow-moving until it loses its shit in the last half-hour. The shark scene is still one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen in a film. Even Tom Cruise wouldn't do that. Kill Me Please Brazilian serial killer mystery mixed with coming-of-age high school drama. Excellent lead performance from Valentina Herszage, becomes increasingly more unnerving up to a smart, quiet ending. Not to everyone's taste, I'm sure, but I really liked this.

God if she's busting out the sodding puppets every week then I'm definitely not bothering with this series.

@Bellenda Carlisle hasn't been round for nearly a year and he's missed!

The Nice Guys is currently streaming on iPlayer, for anyone who I haven't bullied into watching it and stuff.

This is wonderful:- https://edjefferson.com/localwiki/ Here's my featured article:- https://edjefferson.com/localwiki/?w=Stockport_Pyramid

Gen Zee, it's Gen Zee. Gen Zed made me sound 87 years old.

I'm trying to remember if there's ever been another club where the fans hated two sets of owners at the same time. And now Bruno the Rat has turned on Carrick. Marvellous.

They did buy all midfielders this summer and all forwards last summer, from what I can see on Transfermarkt though?

Was I right in reading that United's recruitment plan for the last couple of summers was to recruit all attackers last year, all midfielders this year, and defenders next? What kind of strategy is that? Surely you recruit in the areas you most need it? What a stupid, hilarious football club.

Maybe he'll do a reverse David Byas and sign for Yorkshire out of spite.
