I'm actually going to go very large on Henderson against your boy Frankie. Totally thought I'd be going against you.

haha don't worry, I'll be hedging the fu*k out of it with Frankie by decision or something (if it get's to the Henderson leg)! I do think Henderson has all the tools to beat him with his size, leg-kicks, cardio, resilience, and ability to stick to a game-plan...but nonetheless I did say that I'd never bet against my boy Frankie ever again after tht second Maynard fight!

Yeah the Swedish original was excellent. Haven't seen the Chloe Moretz one yet, let me know what u think of it Gabe...I might watch it tomorrow or during the week

**gabe** · 01-15-12, 01:29 AM

shit, that one is available on netflix streaming, too... but i guess i'll continue with this since i started it already...

**gabe** · 01-15-12, 05:28 AM

i give it a 3 out of 5. i'm sure the original is better.

streaming a movie now called "eagle vs shark" - an english comedy- so funny.

Ah yeah, think it's our version of Napolean Dynamite or something! I watch Russell Crowe's latest one other night - The Next Three Days...pretty good film...very far-fetched at times but entertaining enough! U seen Hope they Serve Beer in Hell?

**GunShard** · 01-15-12, 07:50 AM

Damn, my Johnson bet got screwed. Should of hedged that fight.

**caveira** · 01-15-12, 11:22 AM

"Parlay: 6.468 units on Johnson/Belfort To Not Start Round 3 (-131), Aldo/Mendes To Start Round 2 (-892), & Evans/Davis To Not Go the Distance (-165) to win 13.904 units;"

Bad lucky in this one =/ I really doubt that Aldo threw that knee to hit Mendes' head (Not to mention the five seconds lefting...)

Yeah tht hurt and had put a dampener on my night (along with the Silva fight not going a round), but then got Barboza/Etim FOTN and Palhares SOTN so made up for it!

My bad, I thought I remembered that dude from other British comedies. Didn't realize it's the dude from Flight of the Conchords.

No, I haven't. It's not available to stream, either... =/

I helped write a flick hitting theatres in March. "PROJECT X" - Check out the trailer:

I've already seen it. It's really great, would not be surprised if it becomes bigger than Superbad.

Todd Phillips produced, I'll check it out when it's out. Looks similar to "Skins" which is a big hit show over here

**illmatick** · 01-15-12, 02:14 PM

Last movie I watched was Snowtown, good enough for me to watch all the way through.

It's not like any movie that's ever been made. It's shot like a documentary, kinda like The Office, except it follows three loser friends from high school who throw a big party. It's like The Office meets Superbad meets some crazy party movie. Real funny, too.

Damn, only saw HALF that trailer and I gotta see that movie!

Shit, netflix doesn't even have it!

There's a movie called STREET THIEF that's shot like a documentary that is really great- and available for streaming.

yeah it's pretty good. Quite realistic depiction of a grimy London council estate and the dodgy goings ons! The main bad dude in it is a famous rapper over here - Plan B.

Should john maguire against damarques be capped at evens? The ground game advantage as far as i can se should go to maguire, even tho damarques is solid. The reach and striking will probably be the deciding factor..johnson do have long limbs. i dont know, i was just impressed by maguire in his last fight.

**Vaughany** · 01-15-12, 04:02 PM

Jim Miller interview where he talks about his illness going in to/during the Ben Henderson fight (he had mononucleosis and a kidney infection)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...v=c8E1Bb29L2g#!

I give slight edge to Maguire - I think he's more resilient and has better cardio, I see they are both -117 on Unibet, gonna wait and see what the lines are on BM or sportbet closer to fight time.

**Vaughany** · 01-15-12, 04:13 PM

Adding:

7.445 units on Thiago Alves at Evens to win 7.445 units.

Barboza KO slowed down 500%.....poetry in motion...... http://deadspin.com/5876227/ (Ari Shaffir doing a "ohhh shiiitt" reaction in background as Etim lands!)

lol that's hilarious, i just texted him saying idono what i liked more, the KO or his reaction.

funniest part is etim's face as he's going down.

**gabe** · 01-16-12, 04:23 AM

Man, I thought Snowtown was gonna be some gangster shit. So far the whole movie is about ass-fukking.

ha yeah there is a lot of horrific stuff in it...not easy viewing! All based on the real Bodies in Barrels murders by John Bunting. Should watch Cell 211 instead

**Vaughany** · 01-16-12, 05:09 AM

Cool documentary about Spencer Fisher called "The Man in the Arena".... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=272-4LmrVdQ (Part 1 of 7 - other parts on right hand side of youtube page).

, At least make it to the bathtub scene. If you're looking for more of a gangster - Aussie film I'd recommend Animal Kingdom. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1313092/

Watching the new Shameless (US) episode right now. Quality show.

ha yeah bathtub scene was nasty!

Not a fan of the English Shameless that it's based on but might try the US one.

If anybody is in to the Office type comedy - cringe comedy then I recommend watching "Life's too Short" - Ricky Gervais' latest hit.... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1641247/
It was superb, all about Warwick Davis who is the film worlds go-to Midget and his plummeting career. Some great cameos from Liam Neeson, Johnny Depp, and Sting. I guess a few references wont be funny for non-England based people as some of the chacters in it are failed soap actors/comedians from England who play themselves and poke fun at their own failed careers. One of the greatest scenes I've ever seen in one of the episodes where three of these characters talk about their favourite ways to commit suicide...it's pure genius!
Can see all the episodes on here... http://www.tv-links.eu/tv-shows/Life-s-Too-Short_28832/

**illmatick** · 01-16-12, 06:58 AM

Agree, English version is awful IMO. US version already has a higher rating on IMDB. William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum really heighten the show.

**Jordan23** · 01-16-12, 08:39 AM

V care to give a mini breakdown on how you feel about Bisping vs. Maia? Think people are overlooking Maia on this one? Maia has much much improved wrestling and striking. He could cause some problems for Bisping.
