In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Watch The Sting if you haven't seen it Spoons.
I'm glad you liked it.
Seen it. Liked it. Better than Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which I also enjoyed.
It is better, isn't it...Butch Cassidy was always The film for me.This one surpassed expectations.
The Sting is far better than BCATSDK.
No no no no no no and no.
So wrong it hurts.
Dear Frankie
A small budget Scottish film. I don't want to spoil the plot for the majority who haven't seen this one. This is the story of a deaf kid and his mother. For reasons that gradually become apparent the father is not around. The son writes to him on a regular basis but there is a twist which forces the mother to find a replacement father for a day.
Simple, effective, emotive and superbly acted. Exactly what we are missing from Hollywood these days. Deeply moving. My missus was in floods of tears and she doesn't blub easily and I was close to welling up a few times.
9.5/10 - Find it and watch it at all costs.

BKATSDK was a fairly standard buddy movie.
Right, you're on my shit list.
Still haven't gotten to see Inland Empire yet...note to self: must find three spare hours of my life to indulge in more Lynchian weirdness!
Might cheer myself up later tonight and watch It's a Wonderful Life for about the fifty thousandeth time.
Spam, I love Butch Cassidy, I fecking love it but The Sting is a much better movie.
Yep.
Butch Cassidy isn't average though.

Saw Kagemusha today. Very good film. Not a patch on Ran, though, in terms of enjoyment. I watched it a couple of years ago. . . well half of it, but I just couldn't get into it. This time, it wasn't a problem, perhaps becasue I've seen a few other of his films.
Central Station and Once Were Warriors. Watch them before you finish your lists, people.
I want to watch Scrubs.Season 4.Link.Pronto.
feck you
Please.
Sent already.
I've got The Killer on DVD 5.1, should I watch it?
I think I should.
I think I should.
Has anyone seen the Bale and Crowe movie?the Yuma one?
I can't do this all on my ooown, no I'm no, I'm no Supermayan
I think you should watch Jacob's Ladder.
Yeah. 3:10 to Yuma. Good movie.
I can't wait to see Hammer's and Ole's list.
Is Bullet in the Head any good?
Never heard of it. But Bullitt is good.
feckin buffs
Bullitt has that car chase scene in downtown San Francisco that's been copied a million times. Steve McQueen at his best.
I can't wait to see mine either, Spoons!
Must have changed it a dozen times over the last month.Georgia Rule. The downside of dating someone whos family consists solely of women is that you're forced to watch these kinds of movies from time to time. This was utter shit. A complete waste of 2 hours of my life.
Das Experiment.
Class movie though could have been much much better. It had a feel of action movie in the end, should have focussed more on psychological aspect. Also the plot took some unreasonable turns at times. Hope someone makes an even more intense one in english.

They'll fecking ruin it.
That's one of the few Woo films I havent' seen.
How could they have done that?
I can't wait to see mine either, Spoons!
I've started mine. I'll have to tweak it over the next few days, though.
Well to go into detail. I read about the Standford experiment after watching the movie.
For starters even the Prof got too involved in his role as Prison head in the experiment. He actually tried to shift the prisoners into a real jail when he had a paranoia that prisoners were organising an escape. Apparently when the Police refused he slated them for not cooperating with his prison force. There were lot of other elements they didn't touch like one prisoner going on a hunger striker till the experiment is stopped and people not allowed to leave against their wishes. Instead they shifted towards the rape thing and action sequence in the end.
And then it was big plot jump when after discovering the letter, guard convinces others that this is some kind of test. They don't really explain why others are so forthcoming to suddenly retort to violence as well when they know they will be thrown out. The transition was too quick.
