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.
Part of the deal between Marvel and Sony was casting the role with a different actor.
They specifically wanted someone who looked young enough to be high school student. For some fans Garfield was too pretty and not nerdy enough.
Garfield was a great Spiderman but was badly let down by the script.
He was the perfect blend of being a cool nerd.
The amount of Spiderman films over the last 15 years is crazy.
Am I the only one who kind of liked the film, but was disappointed with how such a great premise was not really exploited to the max. Wasn't a great film by any stretch but it was entertaining I thought.
It was just another example of the type of film that has fantastic art direction and design so that it looks incredible, but paired with a really flimsy plot and dreadful script.
It's almost always the simple, relatively inexpensive part of film that's at fault. Sometimes it seems like an afterthought once all the pretty landscapes, spaceships and costumes have been created.
Lovely.
I liked the film , I actually liked it more the second time, like you say it was not great but entertaining enough.
Sort of film that could be legendary if redone by people who know how to write a script. I think they were out of their depth with the questions they were trying to pose and ended up trying to Michael Bay their way out of it halfway through.
You could tell that was Guy Ritchie within the first 30 seconds.
Can they not stop making those monkey movies?
They fecked up on day one when they hired the writer of Lost to answer those questions. Or indeed, any questions.
There were so many stupid little things wrong with that film, way beyond its failure to answer its central philosophies. Like biologists who are scared of dead animals, Christians who think humanity was created by aliens, or people who can't run sideways.
Haha so true.
The Ape movie trailer looks awesome,loved the first two movies
WHY WOULD YOU HIRE EXPERTS FOR A DEEP SPACE EXPEDITION WITHOUT TELLING ANY OF THEM WHAT THEY'RE DOING!!?? WHY WOULD THEY EVEN GO!!??
Gah!!
I actually thought it was great.
Loved the movie, but your original review is one of my favourite redcafe posts ever.
HOW IS THE DECADES OLD HOLOGRAM RECORDING LOOKING AT THEM AS THEY EXPLAIN IT!!!??
Gaaaah!

The stupidest was robot who doesn't breathe blowing a flute to make the alien ship work.
They make him as human as possible. I assume that includes the ability to inhale and expel air if required. Such as for impromptu woodwind performances.
Middle of the movie, out of nowhere, Weyland and his entourage of medical team is aboard the ship 
Went to see Hacksaw Ridge last night, fantastic movie.

Oh hai guiz
That makes no sense for them to get Stathams character to help them, he killed one of their "family" ffs
Can't wait
Sign me up!!
I know they're critically slated and yeah Revenge of the Fallen was bad, really bad but I don't care, I love the Transformers series. The Autobots and Decepticons effects never fail to blow me away. That's what I really love about those movies. Some of the human characters...ok, most of the characters ruin the films with the OTT acting though. I'm hoping they'll cut that out in this one.
Nailed on for the Oscars along with the previous pretentious crap of years gone by!
Beat me to it. I've got major reservations but that trailer hasn't increased them which is a good thing.
