Hateful Eight 7/10

 

Typical Tarantino film, very slow burner with lots of dialogue, builds up the tension well and the last chapter is very good. 

 

The Revenant 8.5/10

 

Not DiCaprio's best performance however he'll probably win an Oscar for previous films, thought Tom Hardy stole the film.

Looking forward to the Rack Pack being shown on BBC1 later this month. 80s snooker in its golden age.

Made me look up the Canadian trio from that era. Read this about Bill....

 

 

Alcohol consumption[edit]
Werbeniuk was noted for the copious amounts of alcohol he consumed before and during matches – at least six pints before a match and then one pint for each frame. In total, he drank between 40 and 50 pints of lager per day.[2][4] Doctors advised Werbeniuk to drink alcohol to counteract a familial benign essential tremor.[5] Later in his career he also took propranolol, a beta blocker, to cope with the effects of his alcohol consumption on his heart.[6]
Some of Werbeniuk's most famous feats of drinking include: 76 cans of lager during a game with John Spencer in Australia in the 1970s;[2] 43 pints of lager in a snooker match/drinking contest against Scotsman Eddie Sinclair in which, after Sinclair had passed out following his 42nd pint, Werbeniuk was reported to say "I'm away to the bar now for a proper drink";[7] 28 pints of lager and 16 whiskies over the course of 11 frames during a match against Nigel Bond, in January 1990 – after which Werbeniuk then consumed an entire bottle of Scotch to "drown his sorrows" after losing the match.[2]
Split trouser incident[edit]
A memorable incident occurred during a televised match against David Taylor in the World Team Tournament. Werbeniuk tried to stretch across the table, but due to his size was having some difficulty. Eventually he split his trousers. The ripping noise it made caused many in the audience, including his opponent, to laugh out loud. Werbeniuk took it in good humour, asking the audience "who did that?" as if insinuating that the noise was attributed to flatulence.[citation needed]

Danish Girl was alreet, dragged on a bit, Redmayne was good as was his co star.

 

Took some balls that years ago, excuse the pun.

 

Do not go home and try the wifes knickers on though, it'll lead to ruin 

 

Watched last night. Hard to believe he's straight and married in real life. Def looks a bit gay.

 

His co-star was very easy on the eye.... especially when she stripped naked on the bed!
