Non Footy Chat Thread II

Saw Dune Part Two today - long (2hr 45min) but pretty good imo, especially if you remember the book, and have seen Part One.

Have to say nearly a flawless movie. I haven't read the book, though am keen to do so. The first movie was great, but this one was just amazing - must see cinema movie - home tv wouldnt do it justice.

I've read the book and it was ordinary. It is very poorly written. However, I recognise the importance of it to modern sci-fi and even some fantasy. If I'd read Dune back in the 60s or 70s it would've blown my mind (and I probably wouldn't have noticed how bad the writing was) but I grew up on Star Wars, which repeats more than a few of Herbert's ideas. I also think the 40k setting is brilliant, which is also heavily inspired by Dune.

Basically, Dune deserves credit for being the first to introduce a lot of this stuff, but if you read it now, none of the ideas are new. Plus you've already seen the movies.

Yep, definitely one for the big screen/speaker experience.

Not sure why you are doing this......

Irony I think

Don't you already know that Pou loves trying to be the centre of attention, and at the same time adding absolutely nothing to the discussion other than argumentative bullshit?

Yes, derailing threads with crap is not good.

Peace be with you my fellow human. I wish you and your family a lovely Easter.
Stay safe and lots of love

Apologies. We are all here to have a good time, and that obviously means having discussions the way our most fun member - Suitman of course - prefers to have them.

I shall cease making light of hindyeleven’s contributions so the decibel experts can get back on topic.

 

[Avenger]

Not bad for a Ponzi scheme.

Lol at the AFL.

And who said it was only Rugby League players that play up overseas.

What happens in Vegas clearly didn't stay in Vegas.

I don't mind a bit of banter. But decibels is serious buisness and I wasn't in the mood for tongue and cheek after writing a detailed analogy

Yeah i am sure all those Lions bandwagoners will jump off as soon as they got on just like the Broncos wooden spoon days.

Then the AFL can make a joke & brag how they own Queensland again.

Yeah it would suck if you devoted time to discussing something serious and some smartarse just took the piss

@Gary Gutful I think he is talking about u

 

[Gronk]

I don’t pay for or necessarily watch these fights, but am intrigued about the ridiculousness of these body types.

So ultimately they are fighting for the WBO and WBC super welterweight titles, which is 70kgs. But reach and height ?

Anyway both AU and USA bookies have Tszyu as the fav by far.

 

[Twizzle]

huge fan of Tszyu, he'll end it early

 

[hineyrulz]

The other dude looks like a fumbleballer.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Tszyu will floss his teeth with old mate.

 

[hindy111]

It's a non event. Like his Dad he is fighting bums.
Unlike the Maltese marrickville mauler who wasn't scared of anyone. Our greatest ever fighter.

 

[hindy111]

What a strange thing to do.

 

[hindy111]

Can't beleive he lost that fight.
