I don't get spoiler culture
Even if you know the plot of something theres still a bunch of other elements in a media, it's why good films can be watched infinitely, games played, etc

By Punished Go To PostPlymouth are getting promoted though

John McClane was dead the entire time.

vazquez dribbles so much better than ronaldos attempts it's not even funny

Surrender you cunts

I want to experience the highs and lows of the story myself. You can't compare watching a movie for the first time to watching a classic for the 5th time.

What is the grace period for movies? I was told by slaent that:

Live: Immediately
TV Series : 1 Week
Movies: ???

By FlutterPuffs Go To PostThere's a reason they are in league two.

catastrophic financial mismanagement

put movie spoilers in spoiler tags

not so hard

EASY to get spoiler culture

what an incredibly stupid discussion, with all due MAXIMUM respect to all of you.

if you line up GoT's plot twists before watching it you remove the tension entirely

SURE it has nice music and Jamie is hot and they dress well but ultimately most people watch a movie to be engaged and live it moment to moment not go through the motions and wait for whatever you read to happen inevitably. Oh there goes Ned's neck and that betrayal

I still don't know how Nate managed to go through Prisoners knowing full well that the boy was innocent Because for the whole movie I was on the edge of my seat and going through a roller-coaster of emotions. One moment I was siding with Hugh :lol the other I wasn't.... FUCK IT SHOOT HIM IN THE LEG ITS YOUR BABY GIRL WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! But...what if, WHAT IF....I hope he is then...but...AAAAAH

bear in mind *I* don't mind reading spoilers, playing devil's advocate if you will.

I hope nobody brings up La La Land as an example if you wanna insult me/reply to me, just out of respect for Zabo.

By L1NETT Go To Postcatastrophic financial mismanagement

Are you sure you are not thinking about Portsmouth?

Why can't these knobends replicate the #DefensiveDab

By FortuneFaded Go To PostLooking forward to playing them next season.

don't worry i hear grimsby is lovely this time of year.

sell ronaldo to china

Karius :s

edit: clearly punched out of his hands, fair enough

Missed yellow card there. Ref is a major cunt.

While some people take spoiler-culture a bit too far, Yurt is right, knowing what's going to happen kills any engagement you have watching the show/movie/game

By L1NETT Go To Postdon't worry i hear grimsby is lovely this time of year.

I thought you would have more sympathy to our plight. You get a hint of playoffs and suddenly you consider yourself a potential premface.

By Mister0084 Go To Postsell ronaldo to china

Calma calma, has yet to fully transition to full-time ST.

The next 45 minutes are crucial, we need Isco to create chances down the middle, way too many crosses which are being absorbed fairly well by this Celta team.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostAre you sure you are not thinking about Portsmouth?

BeiN Sports commentary is awful, it's so NFL-esque.

Is this Madrid game the game in hand from the Club World Cup?

By Hitch Go To PostIs this Madrid game the game in hand from the Club World Cup?

No.

CDR first leg.

Wilson on

Shame we're about to concede

Must confess, I want this Atomic Beam Headlight. Dunno why.

Never actually seen Wilson play, so I'll pretend he's on the verge of being world class already

What a player

By Hitch Go To PostBit dodgy since we scored, giving away set pieces. Counters are dying before they get going as well. Finding a little bit more space in the box than we were at Anfield, but struggling to find enough to create a proper chance. Whenever it goes above head height the move is basically dead.

Ah. The old lolspurs disease.

WILSOOOOOOOON

WILSOOOOOOON

Sturridge, no.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostI thought you would have more sympathy to our plight. You get a hint of playoffs and suddenly you consider yourself a potential premface.

i sincerely express my humblest sympathies to any fans who are witnessing their club being actively hollowed out before their eyes. league two is a wasteland even i cannot force myself to care about, and if you slip into that void know you always have a digital shoulder here to cry on (not really cos i cba wading through this thread, so write me a letter or summat).

a hint is also an apt term, without a proven goalscorer we are rudderless on our descent into midtable nothingness.

but our german owners shall carry us to a safe standing utopia - perhaps in the championship. and that day shall be a moderately glorious one.

part of me doesn't really want prem football, despite how satisfying a return would feel.

By Hitch Go To PostNever actually seen Wilson play, so I'll pretend he's on the verge of being world class already

What a player

He was great in Cast Away

By everthustodeadbeats Go To PostSturridge, no.

I've lost faith in him adapting to his loss of pace :(

Always seems to be on his heels, and he just isn't gegen. I'd still trust him to finish a good chance in the box, but he is struggling more and more to get them.

lmao

i thought Plymouth was a championship side.

League 2

fuckinell

Yeah, agreed. Studge off. Sell in the summer.

Sturridge has been seriously poor, even if he isn't being allowed any space.

Gomez is a fouling machine

Just a Karius, Lucas, or Moreno mistake away from conceding.

By Punished Go To PostSturridge has been seriously poor, even if he isn't being allowed any space.

The annoying this is that he's decent enough at the sharp passing around the box that we need, but he's seemingly playing his own game and just moving into space that is very unlikely to be found.

Thank fuck TAA is doing a good job of moving into CB to cover the others.

I'm happy to see L1N3TT!

and he's now slowly but surely regaining his old beautiful soul because I see him accidentally dotting the end of his sentences!

Fuck me

Massive let-off.

Was sure that was in

If we concede, we'll lose.

Thank you, goalpost. Fuck off Liverpool, this is very poor.

I don't care about spoilers. Knowing what happens doesn't dilute any enjoyment I have. It's the how, not the what.

For instance (TFA spoilers in case anyone hasn't seen it yet but fuck y'all I ain't spoiler tagging)

Han's death worked really well for me because I knew it was coming, I could focus on Driver's performance, the build up and the aftermath without being like "holy shit Han's dead I am totally distracted"

Like, how do you watch films adapted from books you've read or whatever? Are you incapable of doing so because you know the twists?

I knew about the Red Wedding years before I read it. Still doesn't dilute how well Martin brings the chapters before and after together, how the penny drops, that sick feeling in your throat as shit goes wrong, the culmination of Cat's storyline that got kicked off in GOT. It all really really works, and it works better the second, third, fourth time because you can focus on how well Martin pulls it together, how well Abrams uses lighting and pacing to frame that scene, etcetera.

Sturridge still struggling to find his level.

By Zabojnik Go To PostI would've preferred to go see the movie without knowing this minor fucking detail, but oh well.

This shit pisses me off to no end.

Zabo, you and I are so alike. You're my hero
