  1. I'm not Khan's biggest fan, but he's a bigger star than Hamed ever was. Plus, he's a better fighter as well.

    Don't think I'd agree with the bit in bold. As good as Khan is (and I think he has the potential to be great) Naz was a special fighter and could have gone on to greatness if he 'd have stayed focused.Steve Bunce actually called him the greatest British boxer of all time. Whether you'd agree with that or not is up to you but no one would even consider Khan at that level.
  2. Finally a good episode in the third season of Eastbound and Down.

    Funny from start to finish. Will Ferrell was great as usual as Ashley Schaeffer and was good to see Reg Macworthy back. However, I'm a little concered that Kenny fucking Powers is going to get the happy ending he doesn't deserve. He knocked Macworthys eye out, is a dick to everyone and is still going to seemingly go to the Majors and get the big titted girl of his dreams.

  3. If that's the case it may be wise to go for Luke Donald as he has possibly the best short game in golf at the moment. I've done 3 e/w bets for Adam Scott, Justin Rose and K.J Choi at Paddy Power. If Tiger wins (which I really hope he does) then they refund losing bets which is nice.

  4. Started watching Alcatraz on Watch the last couple of weeks. Quite enjoyed the first couple of episodes so downloaded the series. So far I'm 5 episodes in and it seems crap. It's exactly the same premise every single week, the exposition from the characters is stupid, the acting isn't great and I;m pretty certain the end result is either cryogenic freezing or aliens.

     

    On the plus side I have a new crush, Sarah Jones who plays the lead character is lovely. :love:

  5. Resurrection isn't good but not as bad as people make out I think.

    Oh, it fucking is.

     

    I was supposed to go to a midnight screening of Alien last month, but it clashed with something, so I ended up introducing my girlfriend to the series by means of DVD. Even she couldn't bare more than 20 minutes of Resurrection. It really is utter, utter wank and completely devoid of anything worthwhile.

     

     

    Oh don't get me wrong it's not good and I'll almost certainly never watch it again but I was expecting one of the worst films ever made and got something that was quite fun and very dumb. The hybrid alien thing did look hilarious though!

     

    Watched a documentary on the Alien franchise and it's amazing the problems Alien 3 had to the point that David Fincher has disowned it.

  6. I only got round to watching the Aliens quadrilogy a week ago (entirely due to the Top 50 list on here) and have to say that Alien is ever so slighly better than Aliens. Alien 3 wasn't helped by crap CGI and Resurrection isn't good but not as bad as people make out I think.

     

    Also got round to watching Drive. It's a lovely looking movie, well acted by everyone involved and that soundtrack is sexual.

  7. Chuck

     

    Did you like him? No.

    Why? Just never took to him. He is a dull guy who was dominant back when the LHW division was stale and he was the only half-decent guy amongst average fighters

    Would you have paid your money to see him? Despite that, he was rarely boring so yes.

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass Not a chance.

     

    Wanderlei

     

    Did you like him? Love watching him fight but not personally.

    Why? As said, his fights were always violent but he just came across as a complete cunt in Pride and now in the UFC he is playing mr. nice guy.

    Would you have paid your money to see him? Yes.

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? No.

     

    Shogun

     

    Did you like him? Love the guy.

    Why? Seems like a lovely bloke and is also a complete killer. Up until 2011 had the greatest year in MMA history (2005), half of the greatest fight in MMA history (Lil Nog).

    Would you have paid your money to see him? Hell yes.

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? Yes.

     

    Randy

     

    Did you like him? How can you not?

    Why? Just an inspiration. To do what he does at his age and be better than most guys half his age is just phenomenal.

    Would you have paid your money to see him? Just so say "I've seen Randy live" but to be honest his fights are normally dull with few exceptions.

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? No

     

    Fedor :love:

     

    Did you like him? Love him. My all time favorite. :love:

    Why? A short, fat, emotionless Russian who is an absolute killer. When he was ruling MMA he was just spectacular. The way he'd dominate Nog on the ground or beat up Cro Cop standing up was shocking. His fights were never dull and the guy is just the greatest MMA fighter of all time (Screw Anderson :p). Admittedly, his Strikeforce run was a disaster but I attribute that to him just not giving a shit anymore, getting paid a shitload and swinging for the fences. The Fedor who owned Nog (in the 3rd fight) and Cro Cop would never have been tagged by Hendo or Big Foot and he wouldn't have been stupid enough to hang around in Werdums guard. Excuses I know but I'm an admitted Fedor Fanboy :)

    Would you have paid your money to see him?

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? Greatest in any weight class!

     

    Big Nog

     

    Did you like him? Yes.

    Why? Bit like Randy, he's like everyones favorite uncle. May well be the most durable fighter in MMA. Cro Cop, Fedor, Sapp, Sergei, a truck knocked him down but couldn't keep him down. Age and wear and tear have obviously helped him deteriorate but has been involved in some of the most iconic fights in history.

    Would you have paid your money to see him? yes.

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? Number 2.

     

    Tito

     

    Did you like him? No.

    Why? One dimensional, big mouth for someone with such a long losing streak, held the belt when the division was awful and is fucking a woman I've had many wanks over.

    Would you have paid your money to see him? No

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? hahaha

     

    Ken Shamrock

     

    Did you like him? Liked him in the WWF.

    Why? Liked when he snapped and belly-to-belly suplexed referees and wouldn't release the ankle lock.

    Would you have paid your money to see him? no.

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? Was never over enough for the belt but Bret wanted to drop it to him did he not?

     

    Royce Gracie

     

    Did you like him? He seems like a nice guy.

    Why? At the time was a great advert for BJJ and didn't need to talk about a 400-0 record to do it, although his Pride run of only fighting under special rules didn't work out too well for him.

    Would you have paid your money to see him? No as he'd be too one dimensional. Same reason I wouldn't pay to watch Demian Maia.

    Is he the best ever at his Weightclass? No.

  8. Get the 2005 middleweight GP. It has plenty of quality fights, the best MMA fight of all time (in my opinion) Shogun/Nogueira, and Fedor/Cro Cop.

    The Shockwaves are also worth a view. There are some dire matches on them but some golden ones also: Wandy/Hunt, Fedor/Nog 3 from 2004 are awesome.

    Pride 25 has Anderson Silva/Carlos Newton, Rampage/Randleman and Fedor/Nog 1.

     

    Need to dig out a few Fedor fights from before 2010 after posting that. :love:

  9. He was certainly worse than Chizzy, Last night?

     

    He was worse than Andy Jenkins in the Grand Slam of Darts and still went onto win the tournament. He's still the best player in the world, which is why now he's out, suddenly people are saying the field is wide open.

     

    Have you not bigged up Nicholson in one of your posts & wrote him off in another?

     

    I haven't written him off though, have I? I've said I wouldn't be surprised if he went out to Huybrechts. I wouldn't be surprised if Nicholson won either. It's a close one to call, as both are clearly pretty good.

     

    What I came on to say is this though... the crowd. This tourney more than ever, they are just ridiculous. They don't give a fuck about ANYTHING that's going on. That performance from Jenkins especially was a cracker, and it was just getting shat on completely. They were the same for Lewis/Jones too. Aye, the match featuring the champ.

     

    Ugh. Fucking morons.

     

    But the PDC bunch have never been there specifically for the darts have they? It's always been about dressing like a twat and singing football songs while getting smashed. If you actually want to watch darts then you go to the Lakeside.

     

    It pissed me off when they were shouting "OOOOOooooooohh" when Pipe was throwing as you could obviously tell it was putting off and cost him a set.

  10. I really want a level that rips off Commando where your daughter is being held on a remote island so you bust into a weapons store with a bulldozer, row over to the island and then "all fucking hell is going to break loose".

  11. Just finished the Duane Barry/Ascension double header from S2 of the X-Files and what a cracking pair of episodes they are.

     

     

    Funnily enough I watched this the other day as I'm a huge fan of Steve Railsback ever since I saw him in a film called Turkey Shoot a long time ago. The X files was really good the first 3 or 4 seasons wasn't it?

  12. Cheers for that post, enjoyed reading it. Joe Louis or Ali for top spot?

     

    For some reason I get the feeling Ali won't be in the top 2. Quality post as usual TaylorSlade

  13. Speaking of Diaz, I was watching Knight and Day earlier and she's looking hot in that too, as is Tom Cruise. They both look like they're having fun filming and as a result I found the film a blast and is a great way to relax for an hour and a half.

     

    A complaint would be the action scenes go on too long and can be a bit too OTT and there is a bit too much CGI.

     

    Oh, and I the only one who thinks Tom Cruise is over looked as a good actor? I find myself enjoying almost every film he is in. Maybe it is because he has a higher midichlorian count than anyone else and is effectively a God amongst men?

  14. Here's a link to the 3rd episode of Mayweather Vs Ortiz 24/7 which was aired last night on HBO in the States. I recommend watching it at the first opportunity because HBO are shit hot at shutting these things down.

     

    Another interesting episode and some good footage. One thing I will say about this episode, is that even though Floyd has always played up to that bad guy Money May character, I've never really been bothered about the things he does, such as burning $100 bills in nightclubs and walking around with stacks of cash. However, it's getting old now and is in incredibly poor taste considering how bad things are financially for most in America right now. As if that wasn't enough, Floyd has really out-done himself this time, when during a Skype call with a group of US soldiers currently in Afghanistan, he got his trademark massive stacks of cash out and was showing it to the soldiers, and then showed off all of his massive luxury possesions like multiple walk in cupboards which really are bigger than the flat in which I currently live. He also showed them his car collection which is valued at over $4million, among other things. When one of the soldierss asked him what his motivation is, of course he said it was the money, and it was at that point which he started stacking up those piles of cash for the soldiers to see, and perhaps the worst thing he said was something like ; "Ortiz shouldn't complain, he's getting his biggest ever payday at $2.5million, but that's just the value of my shoe collection right there. I don't fuck with two's and three's, I'm getting me no less than $15 million".

     

    I know he's playing it up, but that's taking the piss. Especially in that situation.

     

    Part 1

    Part 2

     

     

    Yeah that seemed a step too far even for the Money Mayweather character. It was really funny when the connection was lost and he was walking round the mansion trying to get it back. I'd love it if the soldiers got sick of the money flashing and they just disconnected the skype conversation.

     

    On the plus side, at least there was no 50 Cent in this episode.

  15. Personally, I'd guess it's the former. The police would still be outnumbered and it's not like much notice was being taken of them by the animals to be honest.

     

    And, I just want to echo the statements on the quality of the thread. I even liked Whiskey1s post by and large. I think in a few months time a lot of his suggestions will generate a positive response on here.

     

    It does bug me when people seemingly read textbooks on sociology and believe you can apply the same rules to every situation. But apart from that it's been a pleasure to read.

  16. Someone from the Manchester city council is pleading for the parents of the looters to grass up their children. Whilst a great idea in principle, in practice if they are allowing their kids out obviously knowing where they are going, I don't think there is a hope in hell of them doing this.
