The Good, the Bad and the Multiplex (What`s Wrong with Modern Movies?) by Mark Kermode. I know that MK really divides opinion, but you can`t get away from the fact that he is very knowledgable and is passionate about the subject. I personally love listening to his reviews, most of which turn out to be fair and accurate IMHO and I enjoy listening to his "rants" with Simon Mayo on Friday afternoon on Radio 5. This book is funny whilst making some serious points about modern movie-going. Very enjoyable.

Whilst not suggesting that there is anything in the OP, if this forum had been around in 1980 and someone suggested that we might sign Kevin Keegan, most the responses would be the same.
Yes, I was very surprised that the presenter didn`t pick him up on this, bearing in mind that he did when he said "in the sh1t" and when one questioner used "b*llocks"
So you`re not happy with Cork, De Ridder, Fox and Jos in this window?? As well as keeping the people that we want to keep?? Oxo going at £12M+ was the right thing to do.
