I'm totally bumming Chris Nolan rignt now...

Well not literally, but he's a fucking class A director. I mean every film he's ever made has been "woah, fuck me" material. Memento was his first mainstream movie, starring Guy Pearce from 'Neighbours.' A total mindfuck of a movie going both forwards and backwards at the same time. Then you had 'Insomnia' starring Mrs Doubtfire and Michael Corleone, well Robin Williams and Al Pacino. With them two starring it was hardly going to fail was it?

Argentina 3 – 0 Costa Rica | Kun Saves the Day




It’s absolutely criminal that Sergio Aguero is not a regular starter for Argentina. However, one suspects after his heroics at the Copa America the past week that Batista will be under severe pressure to include the soon to be former Atletico Madrid hitman regularly.

The 10 Most Annoying Things About Society and Life

10.

Facebook

It had to be here didn't it? Facebook is without doubt one of the most annoying things about modern day technology and culture. Facebook has taken away an under-appreciated part of life from us to some extent. Real human interaction. Nowadays if you have a Facebook profile then it sort of becomes this trap that you can't get out of as people will develop an annoying tendency to contact you via Facebook rather than by phone, admittedly, I do that myself. Those annoying people who post a status every 10 minutes either complaining about men or a status containing irrelevant song lyrics. All those unfunny "like" pages do my nut in as well. Maybe I'm just bitter about the website, because it cost me my job a couple of years ago. Word of advice, don't add people from work.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon


Transformers has always only ever been about robots smashing each other up on our doorstep. Lets face it, for those who know of director Michael Bay, we know the man is pretty talentless when it comes to attempting any kind of deep, hard hitting story. I'd probably put him in the same class as Zack Snyder. His films looks spectacular, granted, but as a bit of a 'Movie Boffin' I kind of want more than that when I watch a movie.

3 Overrated goals

Let us take a moment and mention three goals that I consider to be overrated and overhyped.

Overpriced and Overrated - The English Transfer Market


Many cite the Andy Carroll transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool at the turn of the year for £35 million as the transfer that set a precedent when it comes to purchasing young English talent. However, some seem to forget history when it comes to the transfer of English players. Rio Ferdinand moved from Leeds United to Manchester United for £31 Million way back in 2002, Wayne Rooney moved from Everton to Manchester United for £27 million in 2004, and Shaun Wright Phillips moved from Manchester City to Chelsea for £22 million in 2005. You could even go back to 1996 when Newcastle United paid a British record transfer fee of £15 million for local boy Alan Shearer; what would that figure be in today’s market?
