In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
babe, wake up. new fincher movie trailer just dropped.
Looks like someone finally made a good hitman adaptation.
Let's hope he goes back to Mindhunter after this.
First Fassbender film since he fecked off to race at Le Mans.
I wasn’t sure for the longest time if this was a ‘Hollywood’ remake of John Woo’s The Killer (an incredible Hong Kong movie that if Hollywoodised could be just as amazing in the right hands) but it seems to be a different IP.
Either way it looks fun and will more than likely check it out.

Another comic book movie ffs @Sweet Square
Wasn't he blackballed for a while for being abusive to his girlfriend? Is he calling it a sabbatical now?
Just read up about the allegations dating back to 2009. Yikes.
The trailer doesn't inspire confidence, but it's Fassbender and Fincher so...
So what you're saying is that those two involved inspires even less confidence?
I think i read somewhere it got shown at some film festival and got a ten minute standing ovation.
Unh?So what you're saying is that those two involved inspires even less confidence?
Don't mind me. I always thought Fassbender was an extremely limited actor so a new movie of his doesn't really excite me as it does for some others.
What sort of crazy ass acronym is this to be presented in all-caps?
i got excited
... Have you actually never seen a film with him in it? Or confusing him with another actor, maybe Vin Diesel?
Definitely not confused. And yes I've seen plenty of his movies. He's a good actor when he's not in a leading role but he can't carry a movie IMHO. His range feels very limited. To be fair to him it probably doesn't help they threw him in so many movies in sequence for a while, but I know more people who even actively avoid watching things with him in it. Perhaps not fair to judge an actor on a bad movie - but Assassin's Creed was probably the nail in the coffin for a few years. He's best when he plays robotic / near emotionless characters IMHO. Anything deeper than that I find him to lose credibility.
The guy has played both Bobby Sands and Frank Sidebottom.
You know what they say about opinions. I didn't expect people to agree with me.
I demand recompense for the mental anguish I have suffered at the hands of this improper capitalization.
Happy now?
Watched this last night though it was good.
Dull.
I was so fecking bored watching this
A bit tedious.
He can’t carry a movie? Take it you haven’t watched Hunger, Steve Jobs or Shame?
Fell asleep whilst watching this on Netflix. To be fair, it was a nice day out (rainy/cool compared to the usual hot/humid) and I was feeling somewhat lethargic. Got my best sleep in weeks.
It was fine. Brilliantly made, but far from Fincher's best work. Felt a bit pointless, which is surprising given it's been a passion project for Fincher for a long time.
