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.
here's the beardy one in a retelling of a Shakespeare.
Again this is a film I enjoy and have watched it quite a few times , but most people hate it.
I thoroughly enjoyed, until he took the helmet off, then it became a Sly Stallone film and no longer a Judge Dredd film. Dredd does not take the helemt off, nor does he get the girl. He couldn't give 2 shits about the girl, he gets his jollies beating perps and dispensing justice.
I've covered them before in here but heres the films that I am really looking forward to now for the rest of the year:
I expect Benedict Cumberbatch to make his hollywood breakthrough with this (he's also the voice for Smaug and Sauron in the Hobbit). Look at the cast. Oldman, Hardy, Firth, Cumberbatch, Hurt and Strong.
Hardy again, this lad will rule and I can see him being a future Bond.
Us brits again leading the way. I always enjoy these modern takes on Shakespeare.

Warning redband for violence but it does look like it will be an incredible action film.
A side note, the director for this film is Gareth Evans, this is his third film since leaving college in Swansea.
Here's an interesting one based on a book i've been meaning to read for quite some time:
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy looks fantastic, I definitely want to go see that.
Coriolanus! Looks a safe bet !
I second this.
I third fourth and fifth this!
Good God that 'Warrior' movie looks like it ticks every cliche in the book.
Juan of the dead has been getting some good reviews.
I can't help it, I like the paranormal activity films
That one actually looks kinda scary, unless of course they chose all the surprise moments to show in the trailer.
Saw that and meant to post it here yesterday. Looks crap (although the brief glimpse of the Hulk looks like they have done a better job of the effects than the previous ones). All explosions and jokes and no idea of any story. Poor choice of music too. Looks like a Michael Bay film at the moment.
Its the Loki story from the Ultimates. It's a good one.
I can't believe that there is yet another remake of The Three Musketeers comiong out. It looks spectacularly awful too with all sorts of cgi, martial arts, wire stunts and assorted bollocks.
and James Corden as well.
Really? God no! I was actually going to download it eventually to see how bad it is. But with that fat feck in it I'm steering well clear.
Is he playing the eunuch?
They just should have re-released the 1980's kids cartoon.
That actually looks pretty decent, watched Thor recently which was also pretty good so looking forward to this.
Mark Ruffalo.
I think it's Mark Ruffalo, Pogue.
feck me, that looks awful.
That's the fella. He was brilliant in You Can Count on Me.
It's going to open a local film festival here. Really looking forward to this. This is Evans second movie with Iko Uwais (the lead actor), and the first one was superb action movie. This guy really know how to shoot action scenes
That was my first thought as well.
The only one of those characters I really enjoyed is RDJ as Iron Man
Joss Whedon directing means it can't be anything but good.
Already a Hollywod remake planned.
It is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson after all, director of the Resident Evil movies, AvP & Death Race, so we should expect nothing else
Any film with Milla Jovovich in these days is directed by him.Although, I am surprised to see the likes of Matthew Macfadyen, Mads Mikkelsen & Christoph Waltz (well, he did do the Green Hornet) in this, I may risk seeing it for that but I'm not expecting anything special.
I can be a bit bias when it comes to Joss because I think he is actually fecking awesome, but objectively I reckon he is the right man for this film. Whedon dialogue is always a bit cheesy and witty which kinda works for a comic book film, and he also has a bit of a dark side where he isn't afraid to put the good guys through the grinder. It will probably be very similar in style/dialogue to Serenity which is great in my opinion, but maybe not for some...
Tarsem Singh... he did The Fall which is one of the most beautiful films I've seen. The Cell was a bit shite but had some nice creepy visuals in it. This film looks a bit to 300 though... which isn't good. Hopefully it takes the good aspects from 300 (umm.... some stylish fight scenes?) and none of the bad (like shooting half the film in slow mo and having no substance).
I dunno... I'm not massively excited about watching something I think I've seen before.
Seen this trailer a while back and wasn't too excited by it, seen it in the cinema the other day though and thought it looked pretty decent on the big screen. It's from the producers of 300 so i'm expecting something very familiar in style (and there is quite a few slow-mo fight scenes in the trailer), I do like the idea of the story about the Gods & Titans, but I do have some reservations myself that it could just end up being very similar to 300.
When are orchestral scores making a comeback? I can't remember the last truly whistle-able blockbuster theme, let alone superhero theme. The 1989 Batman, maybe.
Joss "Yeah, I do TV, how'd you know? By the way, what means this 'the frame is wider' and 'depth of field' that people keep kindly whispering to me?" Whedon?
