World Cup 2018
Time

Well in Brazil - thought Mexico had them on the ropes early in the 1st half - yet couldn’t quite make that good play pay - and then Brazil grew stronger…

Brazil under Tite - 25 matches, 20 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss. 54 goals for, 6 against. He’s really got them playing as a unit - with a few individuals flourishing and expressing themselves within the system.

Would like to see Firmino start ahead of Jesus - though I’m a little biased 😉 (I do think his work rate and anticipation, as well as his link-up play with Coutinho would add a bit more to what Jesus offers; not that Jesus is a bad player or anything like that).

<em>Solo: A Star Wars Story</em> — Official Review and Opinions Thread — <strong>SPOILERS</strong>
Time

It’d be interesting to find out how much Lucasfilm/Disney make for each SW film from worldwide blu ray / dvd / digital download sales, sales to the tv companies in numerous countries around the world for showing the movies, merchandising & licensing deals (lego, funko pops, clothing etc), advert partners (car & battery commercials etc), and their own toys and merch (t-shirts, posters, games, collectibles, books, comics, figures & models, and toys aimed at the kids market).

I suppose we’ll never find out exact figures for sure - though am willing to bet it’s a pretty penny considerable amount to add to the balance sheet.

A cool series of Criterion-style covers…

Well in Kylon1138 😃

Who made these? They look incredible! Is there any way they can create a different version of the cover for A New Hope to something a little more accurate to the film?
Like this:

May well be worth asking ‘Kylon1138’ on reddit mate (unfortunately he’s not a member on here) if he’d be interested in doing something like that? 'Tis a cool collection of covers 😃

If you’re on facebook (or have a friend that is and is willing can ask) then it may be worth shooting him a message - or a post on there in the hope that one of his fans may be able to help you out?

Good luck with it mate 😃

I’m almost a 100% misanthrope at this point, which next to no expectations of good behavior from my fellow man, and even I am amazed at how little the American people care about the massacre that just happened.

The Capital Gazette shooting?

As an outsider looking in… it seems for the main part such tragic events as this have sadly become ‘the norm’ in the US - where prayers and thoughts are offered - yet nothing/little of note changes/happens to prevent similar shootings in the future.

It’s easy to say, yet maybe a look at how other countries around the world have addressed events such as this and what they have done to try and prevent similar acts from occurring? (or as much as anyone can) - instead of the usual rhetoric.

Dear Comrade Frink,

We have authorised the geneat oojason

Take it to the What Are You Eating thread, maybe.

Ha, no. It seems some around here are confused enough with the new sub-forum.
 

Back on the footy…

Well in Costa Rica - them scoring tonight made it so that all 32 teams have now scored a goal at this World Cup, plus it also being a creditable draw against a team that has only lost one game in two years.

Though Serbia lost 2-0 to Brazil, they created some very decent chances and were a threat until the 2nd goal went in, was an enjoyable game overall.

That looks a cool set 😃

These site smay be of interest mate - they convert inches to pixels for you (many covers seem to have a DPI of 300):-

A few people on here have bought old 3-disc boxsets from the local thrift/charity store (it doesn’t even have to have any discs in them etc) - and use that to take apart and learn how these box sets are made - as well as measuring dimensions etc. Some prefer 7mm slimline cases, or the 12mm spine cases - so sizes may vary depending upon preference.

Good luck with it!

Dear Comrade Frink,

We have authorised the geneat oojason to convey our message to you (his ‘Russian Thought Policing’ earlier on the OT.com brought him into our good graces again - though please read this message in stern Russian accent - not that indecipherable Scouse).

Fear not - the US has been under complete Russian control for nearly 18 months. Before you know it, you’ll be on Moscow-time too. It’s gonna be great - the best, it’s gonna be beautiful, as my puppet your President would say (after approval by myself, of course).

Sincerely,

Donald (sorry - very confusing running this many countries)
Vladi @ The White House
 

PS - Go Eagles!

World Cup 2018
Time

Germany go out of the World Cup at the Group Stage losing 2-0 to South Korea.

Sweden finish top of the Group, with Mexico also going through to the Last 16 - finishing in 2nd place.

 

Portugal were a 94th minute 1v1 away from being eliminated in the Group Stage by Iran . Germany have been eliminated in the Group Stage, losing 2-0 to South Korea. Argentina were four minutes away from being eliminated in the group stage by Nigeria.

This World Cup has been extraordinary so far - hope it continues.
