Official Match Thread S31 Round 7 - Gumbies FFC vs Dragons FFC at The House of Gumby

[GWS Goose]

Those last couple seasons were horrendous.

I look forward to our 250 point win then.

Unpopular view, I just couldn't get into GoT.
I tried so hard, I wanted to like it and had massive FOMO.
I almost felt relieved when everyone hated to last season.

 

[GWS Goose]

It's called the beez you numpty.

I missed this earlier.

This is the equivalent of claiming that Take That are better than Led Zepplin (but insert any decent band) because they have more number 1 hits.

Eh never too fussed about making people watch things.

It WAS worth watching until they utterly butchered it. Instantly kills any rewatch value.

I think the more appropriate analogy is that Best Picture winner American Beauty is a better film than the GWS Goose of Star Wars films: The Phantom Menace.

**** mobile networks going down. But to summarise my response to the last two pages, Gumbies gifs/videos are infinitely cooler than dragon gifs.

The only good thing about The Phantom Menace is the one hour Mr Plinkett review.

I wish I could feel the unbridled joy that golden retriever felt on command. Stupid dopamine.

The West Wing series 1-4 is the best television of all time. All other answers contrary to this are wrong.

Mad Men and The Wire everyday of the week for me.

Mad Men and The Wire everyday of the week for me.

I did enjoy the first few seasons of Mad Men and stopped watching - I do mean to go back and revisit it. The Wire is one of my many purchased box-sets that I haven't gotten around to viewing yet - might try and binge it over the coming weeks.

Breaking Bad trumps them all.

I thought the only good thing about it was Darth Maul. I still don't know how to feel about him coming back for the Clone Wars cartoon but I guess if they can bring back Palpatine then anything can happen.

Did you ever watch Solo?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Breaking Bad trumps them all.

Eh. It's really good but not nearly as groundbreaking as people make out. Cranston is bloody excellent however.

I missed this first time round and as luck would have it is very next on my to watch list.

 

[wherearemykeys]

Did you ever watch Solo?

Yes I did, I actually forgot all about that cameo.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Did you ever watch Solo?

I enjoyed that little bit at the end. Solo wasn't nearly as bad as I as expecting - granted Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge make it even better.

I wish Lord/Miller would have stayed with the project as I think they would have done a far better job overall.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I missed this first time round and as luck would have it is very next on my to watch list.

Just note that Aaron Sorkin leaves the show after so the feel of the show changes a fair bit s5-7. I can't get through it - but I am a bit of a Sorkin snob and many others would tell you that s5-7 is equally as enjoyable.

A disco gumby? Nah. Disco sucks. Always has...always will.
Bursting into a room? Rude to interrupt their basketball game. Or it could be a great defender in a lousy basketball team. Don't like basketball, either. Hate it.
As for the third one...I'm sure the dog could smell the person - it was its owner, no doubt.

Now...this is a gif:




Flying majestically...surveying the carnage...

And...*squeal* Isn't he just adorable?

Everyone was raving about it, I just felt like I was missing out, I so badly wanted to like it.
I watched about 4 or 5 episodes the first time I tried and moved on, when it was really flying and dominating conversation, I gave it another crack and watch 7 episodes (the first 6 for a second time as there was good few years gap between attempts). I rang a mate and asked if it was hard to get into than takes off, he basically said no, this is it, if you dont like it, you wont like it. I gave up.

I think my fave series is the Newsroom

I really liked You, I loved it being told from the bad guys point of view, that may have some recent bias in its favour.

Jumped the shark when Ed Sheeran had armour on, as really now, baby faced ranga in red armour poking a fire FFS, maybe wave a flag next time ya flogs.

Did you ever watch Solo?

The thirst crusher for Emilia's hollywood adventures.

Yes I did, I actually forgot all about that cameo.

How could you, man poses just for your enjoyment on TV in a movie and you forget him?

 

[Strigoi]

Breaking Bad trumps them all.

I wish I could un-see some of that.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

In fairness I would happily tell non-compliant people here to stick it - it's still technically my job for another 6 weeks.

A fair sized roo can do whatever the hell they want however.

 

[Barrybran]

Yes, that is a gif. Thank you for clarifying.

If it makes you feel better I haven't seen a minute of GoT
