In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
You can. Mainly in broadways, malls & specialist shops. And Manchester Piccadilly station for some reason.
Mine came from my swiss godmother, it was well plasticy, but worked for a few weeks.
We had all the figures, a Dagobah set and a Hoth Airfix diorama . Also two games for an Atari and about 200 promotional photos (on real photopaper) that we bought in a Tobacco shop for 2 (bw) and 5 (colour) Fts, basically all of our allowance (I was about 3-5 and my brother 5-7 at this point).
I'm surprised you can't get actual (non lethal, obviously) ones yet. The high end ones still have perspex round them don't they? (or do they) It surely can't be that hard to make a coloured plume of light.
Well, when you end up in Hollywood with your screenplay bring us a bag that's heavy on eclairs and everton mints, there's a good chap.
I always had a thing for shrimps when I was a kid. I've no idea why, they're horrible.
Good grief, they're worse than those flying-saucer sherberts....like eating packing foam.
I quite like anchovies and olives.
I've also got a thing for bagels.
And shut up, Randall.

I couldn't get into Sillmarillion , by the way...what was that all about? And what did it influence other than a shitty 80s pop band?
Silmarrilion makes the bible look like an easy read, which is a shame as the stuff that happens in that is far cooler than anything in the Hobbit or the Lord of the rings. The Children of Hurin is actually the best book of the lot as it's actually a complete story (a tragedy) and doesn't feel like a half cross between an encyclopedia and myth.
Silmarillion put me off books for years. In fact I still don't think I've recovered.

Neither could I . I was so disappointed after loving the Hobbit then adoring LOTR
Its actually impossible.
The future's nothing like we expected is it. They can't make a simple coloured plume of thick looking light and we're still no closer to a working Back to the Future Hoverboard. Bastards.
Its a shame as it covers the sinking of numenor, the destruction of the 2 great trees, the lamps, the bastardisation of the elves, battles that featured walking gods, balrogs by the dozen. The destuctio of angbad, it is emmense, that with the lost tales, but it does make for an impossible read. David Days books the characters of Tolkien and a Tolkien Bestiary cover the events nicely (they're pretty much the same book).
I actually watched BTTF 1 & 2 again the other day. That second one was awful.
come again?
Allow me.
Planet blows up because of the firepower of 3 hataks ? A dozen hataks couldn't even dent an ori ship and our 304 destroyed the same ori ship with 2-3 shots with our uber asgard beams.

But we have selftieing shoelaces.
Silmarillion you guys are talking sci-fi, I'm talking to the tolkien crowd.
To be fair, we have the whole outfit. It's just the fecking Hoverboard.
Jacket - $400
Shoes - $4,000 - $75,000
Hat - $29
To be fair, I did try my best to push forward the board movement. I sent this off to Boris Johnson when a survey census on his Mayorship came through the door.
So, to be honest, we just need to sit back and wait now.
Mesa day startin pretty okee-day with a brisky morning munchy, then BOOM! Gettin very scared and grabbin that Jedi and POW! Mesa here! Mesa gettin' very very scared!

So thats your slavish childhood nostalgia.
Not really, I just think the hoverboard's quite cool. I'm not going to put Back II the Future in my 100 greatest films. The first one might be in there. Somewhere in the 80s possibly. Fittingly.
Its better than the minority report.
It's not. Well actually it might be. It's hardly comparable. But then that's not going to get in either.
My problem with Star Wars is not that people enjoy them. It's that people become so obsessed that they rank them as some of the greatest films ever made.

One is a silly fun scifi with a decent short actor, the other is a silly funless film with a short talentless git
Cruise isn't actually a bad actor. He's just an insanely annoying one. He's usually very good when he plays villans. Likely because he actually is a mentally unhinged whacko with delusions of grandeur. He also virtually never plays villans.
He was only decent in Eyes Wide Shut and only because the role was him (a stupid asshole who doesnt understand anything but yet full of himself) plus Kubrick tortured him till he got what he wanted.
Cruise was good in Minority report, Born on the 4th of july, last samurai, tropic thunder, Magnolia, a few good men, Risky Business, all the right moves, rain man, collateral, War of the worlds. The guy is a good actor.
I think his best (or most entertaining) performance was Interview with a Vampire. But then that is sort of a half remembered opinion. I haven't seen it for years and have no inclination to watch it again.
That list is full of shit films and only have one good one.
He's also very intense in virtually all of them. I don't like intense Cruise. He's intensely annoying. Though I do think it works in Collateral. Probably because we're not supposed to like him.
Di Caprio's becoming a similarly intense dullard. Though he's nowhere near as annoying.

To be fair a shit film doesn't mean a shit performance.
Utter bollocks.
Im trying to work out which is the only good one... Magnolia?
Yep. At first, I thought his casting as Lestat was a disaster-in-waiting but he ended up being very good indeed.
It's hard to say as he was the lighter side of the film in comparison to Brad Pitts constant panting and swooning throughout the film.
Collateral
I really liked it. But sometimes I catch myself saying 'I think it's a good adaptation of the book' and then I have to defend that I've read Ann Rice.
