  1. Since I got my Xbox Series X last year, I decided I would just focus on a single game until completion (with the occasional session on Football Manager console, of course).
     

    After completing Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 (remaster) and Resident Evil 1 remastered since the start of the year, I decided to play something a little ‘lighter’.

    My choice? Crash Bandicoot 1 from the N Sane Trilogy.
     

    Honestly, I do not remember this game being so annoying? The jumps and hit boxes are awful - I’ll be amazed if I manage to complete this.

  2. Still Crazy (Amazon)

    I remember watching this when it first came out on DVD (I rented it from the local video store) and at the time, wasn’t too impressed and thought it was just ok, but disappointing.

    After watching it again, years later I enjoyed it. Yes, the story / script could be better but the cast is fantastic and I always enjoy watching Billy Connolly and Timothy Spall.

    There are also certain parts of the story that I am sure were the catalyst for the Auf Wiedersehen, Pet comeback series a couple of years later. 

  3. Across The Lake (YouTube) made for BBC film starring Anthony Hopkins as Donald Campbell and his attempts to break the world speed record on water.

    The film focuses on the last couple of months before the world record attempt.

    Good film and whilst nothing new to people who know about Donald Campbell (which in my opinion, should be a lot more)it is still a good watch.

    Daryl Hannah is married to Neil Young!

    I remember at the time Neil Young came in for a fair bit of criticism for divorcing Pegi and then marrying Daryl Hannah not so long after the divorce.

  5. It is sad, but hardly surprising.

    I would like to see sales figures for latest PPV releases as I can well imagine that sales figures are well down since the launch of the WWE Network. Although, I think they could still exist selling a retro range, something like that - personally I think a limited run re-release of the Tagged Classics series could be very finically viable for the company.

    As DavidB said, I use to love receiving the old Silver Vision catalogues back in the early to mid 90’s with the £1 Green vouchers included.

    Where did you get your tickets from for the 25th? On the Ticketmaster app it says its on general sale but doesn't then move onto the ticket selection page.

    I got them for Live Nation, I did have a pre sale link which may have made it a bit easier.

  7. Dwight Twilley, American musician died yesterday.

    Maybe known for ‘Why you wanna break my heart’ thanks to Wayne’s World. I only fairly recently discovered his music - but every one of his albums I have listened to so far have been excellent.

    How? He seemed perfect to me.

    He was incredible as Savile, probably the most accurate biopic acting I've ever seen. The show was a bit boring though, should have been a film or something.

    I watched all episodes back to back and it does work better as one long piece, Steve Coogan is a wonderful actor.

  9. I have cancelled mine as well, sub ends on 05 August but I have just given up as cannot find anything that was on my watchlist prior - it’s just an absolute mess.

    Having been a subscriber since day 1 of the launch in the US, I am hoping (although, not expecting) to receive some kind of exit survey and I can feedback the reason why I have cancelled.

    3rd of September if you fancy going when he’s next in town. Only £20.

    I asked him what he thought of the Uncle Junior portrayal in Many Saints. He liked it and how it showed how ridiculous and psychotic Junior always was. He said he really enjoyed the movie as well. 

    Ah bugger, I am in Staines the week later, I was hoping his next appearance would have coincided with when I was there.

  11. The updated version of the WWE Network is an absolute mess.

    My List has been replaced with a favourites section which somehow is showing stuff I watched about 3 years ago. Cannot seem to locate a search function either. I fail to see (with the exception of just not giving a shit until they are able to move to other platforms, like Peacock worldwide) how they can get something like a streaming service so wrong and not having basics, such as a search feature.

    He was my first thought yes.

    I love me some Bret but dammit man it's not 'the WWE'....and while we're on the subject it was never 'the WCW' either.

    Ah, but it is ‘the Summerslam’….
