Yeah i read that he would like to do another Dredd film,whether somebody will write script and direct it is another question. I remember playing judge dredd game on sega megadrive and it was bloody hard.

I think they have to make a trilogy out of it at the least!

Kenny Baker, the 3ft 8in actor most famous for immortalising robot R2-D2 in Star Wars, has died at the age of 81.

Kenny Baker was just 3ft 8ins tall and is pictured here with Peter Mayhew who played Chewbacca

May give Luther a watch,not fan of Thor so will be giving that a miss,but i think what made me like him most is he is also a petrolhead.


Always been a fan of Simon pegg since Shaun of the dead days,him writing part of the script and also acting deserves huge respect.

Try Pacific Rim if not seen already.

Does anyone here remember this old movie where a woman and young boy (in his early/mid teens) travel back in time on a black motorcycle? Bike looked similar to a harley, One of the scenes on the movie was when the motorcycle was leaking oil and i think a cop stepped or almost stepped in it near to the end of the movie. It was shot in the US and i think its from the late 80s to early 90s...

I dont think it was that great of a movie but i still would like to know the title of it for shits and giggles. Not sure if the first word of the title was 'Time' -- female actor was a brunette if that helps.

Time runner? That had luke skywalker man in it. That's about the extent of my knowledge of the 80's era films.

I have been mainly watching pre-war Ealing comedies.



Passport to Pimlico and The mouse that roared are two of my favourites.

My fave is The Ladykillers.

Not listed there sadly. Looks like I'll need to keep looking or ask on a movie forum

From a later era but a beauty all the same

Where would we be without lottery funding?

 

[kurosagi01]

GB doing great to be honest lol,anyways...hope everyone is doing well,i have busy schedule coming up lol,Thursday i'll be taking the car in for more mods installation and re-tuning and then Sunday i may possibly be drag racing for fun and then i'm on holiday from 25th till 31st.

Where would we be without lottery funding?

Well some might say, why spend £347 million over the last 4 years on sport when there are almost half a million homeless on our streets, some would also say unless some of those homeless are potential gold medal winners then its money well spent!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Where would we be without lottery funding?

Well.... For starters, Tottenham (North London) would look like Detroit, The rioting a few years ago really did a number to this neck of the woods. a few buildings which housed local businesses as well as homes (either above or behind these shops) were absolutely burnt to the ground and the ones that wasnt were still declared unsafe and bulldozed partially due to the age of the building itself let alone the structural damage the fire caused. Lottery fund helped rebuild a lot of it.... Though I hear that approximately less than half of the money that the council set aside to compensate those who have been seriously affected by the event has been given out. A lot of claims have also been rejected so i hear though I dont know how severe their case is...

I heard some local businesses & homeowners who lost everything are still waiting for compensation to this day.... Shame the lotto fund wont dig deeper into their pockets and help these people out instead of leaving them out of work or technically homeless. thats David Lammy for you.

For a deprived area with historical health, social and employment issues we dont get much of it here. Below is every sport related lottery grant issued in my county this year. Note the largest grant was given to the local Council and the next largest was for snooker.....

Man Samsung sure are taking the piss with the price on the Note 7..I'm due for upgrade end of this year and I was considering staying on my contract for another 2 years with the Note 7 as i really like the design and the blue colour they're offering compared to S7 and edge..Cheapest at the moment is £31.50 which is less than what i'm currently paying by £1.50 but £250 upfront cost..no big deal..but total them up in space of 24 months equals £1000. The phone out right is around £700 -_- might aswell wait and save than go on contract,can't justify the silly upfront price.

Its not samsungs fault -- Its your network that asks for the money upfront. And with any brand new devices such as the samsung note or apple devices asking for a wad of cash up front is the price you pay for having the latest and the greatest handset.

The rest of England calls it a ménage à trois, when the Welsh have two sheep
