@Higgins tweaked training with them and 50/50 to be named to start. Will play the next game.

@Higgins said in TRC: Pumas v All Blacks:

There is no mention of Sonny-Bill Williams being unavailable because of injury so that must mean he has been dropped.

Dodgy hamstring apparently

@antipodean finally watched Atomic Blonde, perfectly good female spy movie. No need to ruin James Bond, just come up with new stories. Salt was another one.

All they have to do is vote with their feet (and wallets)

If they do time travel I'm walking out.

@Bovidae said in Re: Movie review thread...:

The choice of director has me interested as he was the director of S1 of True Detective.

@Rancid-Schnitzel There appears to be 5 writers including Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

Yep, she’s clearly been tasked with punching up the humour and making sure the woman are well written.

Sensible to avoid easy targets for the woke brigade.

Not a fan of prejudging a movie based knee jerk reactions to casting and who’s writing part of a script.

In theory, after the last movie, having Bond retired is a good idea. It’s clever to have 007 as a black woman to swot away that casting pressure, as long as Bond ends up back in that designation at the end of the movie.

Let’s them pick who they want for the next one.

If it’s a soft attempt at completely rewriting the character then Bond movies will probably not be very successful from here on.

If the character is successful they could even have spin off movies. Can see why they are doing it.

This guy makes great videos and has the following take on the new Bond:

What I find so weird is that you would get the woman who voiced that ridiculous droid in Solo to write the script for a Bond film. That's like asking the South Park guys to script a chic flick.

She has some credibility as a writer, that’s like judging Waititi on Korg.

faaake!!

Nearly posted this in the conspiracy thread ...

there was something about all those shadows in the wrong place or direction or just not being there at all argument though

Easily explained by those not naive enough to be sucked in by conspiracy nuts. Same with all the hoax “proof”

@Paekakboyz yep and was warned from other prisoners that they about drop boiling water on him so he started a fight to get put in solitary.

And the point isn't that TR is a saint, or even a nice person. It's that he has rights, like the right to held safely in prison if he breaks a law.

@Calf We'll see if he lives through the sentence. Last few times he was in jail he was mysteriously transferred to Muslim dominated prisons and left in general population. One example he was left in a room with Muslim inmates for a beating.
