In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Looking forward to this one.
Looks good, though they really should've shortened the trailer.
Have been waiting on this for the past month. Looks damn scary (I'm a sucker for serial killer stories) and it has Nicolas Cage! Reviews are also all extremely positive. @Dirty Schwein I think you might like this.
Mate it's been at the top of my wishlist for months. I genuinely cannot wait for this.
0800 001 6668
Call that number. Trust me.
Call that number. Trust me.
Hahaha yeah i figured it would be, with your love for horror and all that! What's the 0800 number about? Sorry, I am all the way in Cape Town.
Ahh it's a part of the marketing. In the UK, if we call that number we hear a creepy voicemail by Nic Cage.

oh damn! That would have been....something to listen to! Yeah, exactly down your ally. Are you going to see it this weekend when it's released?
It totally depends on the showings. Indie horror movies usually play limited showings at late night, which is tough for me as I have kids and my wife has been quite unwell.

But my workplace gets the movies as soon as they're off cinema and I prefer to watch at home (as the cinema can be hit and miss with the audience) so might have to wait a bit.
Yeah, same this side. But the reasoning being a little different - I prefer watching horror flicks in the comfort of my own home before I piss myself in public

I'm sick and tired of going to cinema and have idiots talking through the film. Especially with horror, where you really need to get into the movie to be affected.
Yeah, so many are completely selfish & inconsiderate to ruin the experience for others. And it's not like going to the movies are cheap these days, plus the added planning and time investment you put into it.

I'm still reading reviews and everything is basically scoring this one a 4.5-5/5. Very excited.
I really hope it's not one that gets destroyed by it's own hype.
I've seen the directors other movies, they were quite hit and miss.
Super sorry to hear that mate, but maybe stop showing her the Cage filmography on repeat, Clockwork Orange style?
Nah more seriously, hope she gets well soon!
Yeah I believe he's shown "promise" (the Director) and supposedly this is his masterpiece. But yeah, it's been marketed like crazy, so hoping it lives up to the hype.
On a side note, as RiP says, hope the missus gets well soon as well!
Haha thanks man. Blood test went well today and hopefully the scan goes well on Wednesday.
Thank you.
The smooth brains at my local Vue have decided the earliest showings for this will be at 8pm on Saturday and Sunday...
Cheers for the heads up. Looks cool and think it's on MUBI.
totally agree, this is top of my must see list.Ahh it's a part of the marketing. In the UK, if we call that number we hear a creepy voicemail by Nic Cage.

Watched it at my local cinema yesterday. 7.5/10.
Longlegs review – Nicolas Cage is a miscast killer in misfiring hokum.
Review.
Review.

It's sitting at 91% on RT. A few rare low reviews aren't doing much to dissuade.
It was great. Very creepy and very good acting on display.
I had to hang up.
Watching tonight... can't wait!
From that trailer, it looks a bit like one of those horror films that works quite well for a bit but then completely falls apart when you actually see the (inevitably ludicrous looking) monster/killer.
Nope. Its good throughout.
I'm looking forward to this. Will try and see it this week. Loved Maika Monroe in It Follows.
My review in the film thread. TLDR: Very good but just short of great.
Nicolas Cage is one of those actors I just can't take seriously in anything. I'll give this a shot though.
This is one of those performances that will make you laugh I reckon. I'm his biggest fan boy but I think he was miscast in this.
If you wanna see a good Cage performance, watch Pig.
I've sat on this film since watching and the more I think about it, the less I like it. I may drop my score to a 7/10.
A lot of missed opportunities upon reflection.

I agree regarding the cliffhanger at the end, they always piss me off in TV/Movies.
You had me at Nicolas Cage.
Yeah same, unless there's enough clues to piece together an understanding that makes sense but here, that's not the case.
Also, Perkins explained the ending (cardinal sin for me) and his explanation made me even more disappointed.
Got a link for that?
That was always the ending. The ending was meant to be tragic. The devil wins again on a small scale. One of the fun things about using the devil as your villain is that the devil never really goes for world domination. The devil always feels like, “I’ll just feck with this person, I’ll wreck this family, I’ll mess this kid up, I’ll torment this priest.” It’s never like, “I’m going to eat the Vatican.” It never gets to that point for me with the devil. The devil is a little more amusing and playful than that. The story of Lee Harker ends with the ending of the movie. The last shot that she fires is the worst thing that can happen to her.
That's what the director said.
