In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
WTF does any of this have to of with Black Panther 
Hollywood churning out films that are either adapted from novels, comic books, remakes or part of a series. Hardly anything original, at least for the popular films nowadays.
Lack of creativity by studios. They all want to make movies that are remakes of popular films or part of a popular film series since that's where the money is. Even Mark Hamill said "Remember kids, it's not important that it's good, as long as it makes money."
Toy Story 4, Lion King, Jungle Book, the new Star Wars trilogy and another 10 Star Wars films that Disney will stuff down people's throats, 5 Marvel films that they seem to churn out yearly.

This was always going to be a hit, even if it has half of the quality critics say it has.
All star black cast, fantastic black director with all of the blurbs about how well they portray Africa. (Its a made up country with as much relevence to Africa as the Death Star)
Its like Wonder Woman which was another guaranteed smash imo, subtly pushing itself as a cultural milestone ensures a massive audience from the get go.

What's the problem with novels or comic books?
Yay another forgettable comic movie.
Yay another pointless post....
[poinless post goes here]
Point.
Hopefully critics will be more honest and accurate with their reviews for this than they were with Luke Cage, although I can understand the pressure to celebrate such content regardless of quality.
Does look good though!

Is good!
I like superhero movies, but I have no interest in this.
That's a shame and a little odd, because it's a really good superhero movie.
Why out of interest? I've been excited for this since his introduction.
You've seen it?
I'm tied up drawing contracts all week, so Friday night I will get to watch!

Up there with the best Marvels for me. The cast is legit great.
"Hollywood in creating popular culture shocker!"
With this insightful post I'm sure we will all now take stock of the fact we enjoy the occasional (thrice yearly) big screen sci-fi-pop film and renowned and critically acclaimed Pixar fare and swear instead to only watch the thousands of independent films which are somehow still being made and equally well received in spite of the big studio productions. In fact, it's almost as though it's always been like that, now I think of it.
You know I was referring to the high grossing films that are new concepts. Things that made waves when they first came out. Blade Runner, the first Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, the first Toy Story, The Incredibles, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction.
Blade Runner, Jurassic Park, Toy Story, The Incredibles are all being/have been remade now. I was talking about the highest grossing films.
Where is the creativity from the big studios now? Which studios and filmmakers are courageous enough to try something new? Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki (now retired) are admirable. Isao Takahata and the others should be commended on their amazing original body of work.
Sorry to be a pedant but Blade Runner was an adaption of Philip K Dicks novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Jurassic Park is an adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel of the same name. (Also wrote The Lost World).
Goodfellas is an adaptation of Wise Guys by Nicholas Pileggi - although it’s non-fiction.
All Tarentino films are original screenplays, I believe. Likewise, around Oscar season (I.e. now), loads of films come out that are either adaptations, as you describe, or original screenplays. Then it’s blockbuster season in the summer, with a few big ones saved for winter.
Always been like this.
Blade Runner was a flop on release and a novel adaptation. Jurassic Park was a novel adaptation. Stuff like Star Wars and the Matrix (you didn't mention it but it's another example of the same type) both took heavily from other material and repackaged it. Pixar just released Coco, material just as original as Toy Story and the Incredibles. Saving Private Ryan is a war film, no different than Dunkirk in that. Etc.
We're currently in an age of comic book films, just like the 50s and 60s were an age of westerns. There's still plenty of good stuff elsewhere if it isn't your bag.
I don't know, maybe Guillermo del Torro, Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, Alejandro Iñárritu, Damien Chazelle, Spike Jonze to name but a few fairly mainstream filmmakers who have all had recent success and critical acclaim. That's not to mention the likes of Ryan Coogler and Taika Waititi who have only gone on to make these types of films due to what they achieved with their earlier films.
I haven't watched Coco yet but the concept doesn't sound too dissimilar to the underrated (imo) Book of Life http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2262227/
Just back from seeing it. It's tight. Go see it. I don't want to spoil anything, but the villain and the hero both have really credible, believable motivations and views for their actions which makes them very strong as characters. The music is also excellent, I'm not sure the exact instruments, but those ones that sound like hollow sticks being hit together in particular, it's a really pleasing sound to the ear. Visually exciting, with a decent but not overdone amount of humour.
Seriously go see it.
Seriously go see it.
This is a really good movie
Does the music in the film include songs from the Kendrick soundtrack or is it all score? No spoilers please.
feck sakes. Went to watch this last night and it was sold out in every cinema around West London. Never realised that its so anticipated.
Very good movie
Welcome to capitalism
There are a couple of bits with modern pop/Western music so I think so, although I don't know enough about the soundtrack to confirm if specific songs are in it.
The only songs from the kendrick lamar soundtrack in the film are
Opps by vince staples
Pray for me by kendrick/the weeknd
All the stars by kendrick/SZA
Everything else is from the score

Spot on.
Though, I dunno how this is being touted as the bestest black superhero ever. I mean, nothing can come close to the badassery that was Wesley Snipes in the Blade trilogy.
Surprised they didn't include his black panther song.
I just can't get excited for this because A: I'm fed up of superhero movies and B: the character just seems super boring.
I think you mean Steel? Show Shaq the respect he deserves.Spot on.

Going to see this Friday. Sucks it wasn't out today.
So basically the best three tracks on the album, fine by me.
Agreed esp about the hero and villain motivation
Marvel has a tendancy to always go the same way with villains
This was a little bit different imo and it worked
The cast were great even the side characters
The use of music was brilliant
The whole thing looked great
Saw it in 3D and it was perfectly done for it
This might be the best thing marvel have done so far from beginning to end
And a great lead in to April and infinity war
Spoiler alert***********
People said that Wokanda is a brilliant concept in this movie.
I don’t buy that s***, Wokanda to me is like what kleau said “They are savages”
I can’t believe how a technological advanced country still use Monarchy as their ruling system. Hence the plot when a clear unworthy mentally conflicted challenger like Killmonger can move the most important plot. They just have to follow the rules and let their most beloved King almost killed. That’s stupid that’s why the human race moved forward to modernization because monarchy is fecking useless!
And i can’t even describe how primitive the final battle at the end. They have laser beams and still having war using spears and rhinos. What’s with that blue barrier thingy?
how does Wokanda thrive in economy if they don’t trade their vibranium?
So they have all the commercialization and industrialization in one underwhelming city?
Where was the people in the city? I feel hollow watching it, there’s no media broadcast for coronation of T’Chala which is fking mental. So the next moment they change a king, the people of Wokanda is clueless and that is bullshyte.
And the problem with Vibranium, there’s not a single explanation what can Vibranium do! What is it? isn’t just a freaking metal? If it’s not, where does it get the power from?
And yet this movie gained 90%+ in rotten tomatoes with 8/10 average rating
EDIT:
Oh and here's another thing for you to rage.
The father of killmonger, Instead of betraying his people and getting killed..Why didn't he challenged t'chaka for the throne instead?
