he didn't specify the year.

3RNEST:
Yes perfect example...idris save that movie..

rottennaija:
Guess you are right. But is also an opportunity to coach Messi, Neymar and very likely Mbappe in the same team.

RayMcBlue:
Interesting point, but Poch has never considered PSG as his first choice, so it's not really Leonardo's fault that he's unsettled at PSG. He had already expressed a desire to leave before the season began.

ojaysam25:
Poch is the right man for a long term project......but why leave a star stud PSG team for disjointed man utd

rottennaija:
Should he leaves, PSG should appoint Zidane.

RayMcBlue:
Pochettino just isn’t good enough imo. He can’t handle all the talent and expectations there at PSG. The PL is far more high profile tbf to the fame and fortune spin to this all.

Guess I’m just confused as to why Pochettino has a manager’s dream roster but wants out.

Mauricio Pochettino is open to becoming Manchester United manager and it is not out of the question they could get the Paris St-Germain boss now.

The Argentine is held in high regard at Old Trafford but there was a feeling it might be difficult to prise him away from PSG mid-season.

United sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday and said they were looking to appoint an interim manager.

But Pochettino's potential availability could change that.

It is not thought United have made an approach yet but the 49-year-old is less than completely happy with the setup at PSG, where his role is essentially that of first-team coach, with all broader club and footballing issues handled by sporting director Leonardo.

Pochettino enjoyed more control during his five years in charge of Tottenham and is known to be keen on a return to the Premier League.

He has never made any secret of the fact he would like to manage in the English game again and while he is living in a hotel in Paris, his family remain in London. That travel element is not thought to be a hugely significant factor though, given it is as easy to get to the capital from Paris as it is from Manchester.

The former Southampton boss has been in charge of PSG for 10 months and this season they are 11 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after 14 games and a point behind Manchester City in their Champions League group. Indeed, Pochettino will be in Manchester this week for his team's game against the Premier League champions.

Part of his unhappiness in Paris is around the culture of the club. His team includes superstars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar but the squad is unbalanced. There is a surplus of left-backs, for example, and there was a feeling they did not need to sign Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the summer.

Those recruitment decisions are out of Pochettino's hands since, on transfers, he is essentially an advisor to Leonardo.

After taking charge at Parc des Princes in January, Pochettino endured a difficult first season as he attempted to overcome the long-standing criticism of him - that he has not won major trophies.

He lifted the Trophee des Champions - the French equivalent of the Community Shield - within days of taking over and went on to win the French Cup in May.

But PSG failed to win the Ligue 1 title for only the second time in nine seasons, finishing a point behind Lille, and were knocked out of the Champions League by Manchester City in the semi-finals.

Pochettino is reluctant to force a move mid-season but a switch to Old Trafford could work for both parties, since the Qatari owners of PSG are known to be keen admirers of Zinedine Zidane, the former Real Madrid manager who is out of work.

There are other possibilities for United, though.

They are also known to admire Ajax's Erik Ten Hag but it is believed he would be unwilling to leave the club in mid-season. Leicester's Brendan Rodgers also has his admirers.

If United do go for an interim appointment, their former France defender Laurent Blanc has been mentioned as a potential candidate. He has not had a job in Europe since 2016 and is working in Qatar.

It has also been suggested former United skipper Steve Bruce would be interested in the short-term role following his exit from Newcastle.

I've not read the book but I never found it boring, rather I find it promising. I think people expected a lot more without being realistic enough to know that the book is big and everything can't be lumped together in one movie.

Calibrator:
Comrade, send them to me.


Should I drop my mail?

abduleez1:
Mention them.

FBS:
Dune.

Borefest central.

StPete:
All movies that were made from books didn't do justice

StPete:
Nope, I disagree with the bolded. Watching a movie before reading a book is like having a preamble before getting the detailed content. All movies that were made from books didn't do justice and many who read the books and watched the movies, complained about how terrible and less detailed the movies were.

Those who watched Angels and Demons without reading the book enjoyed the movie whilst those who had read the book before watching the movie were disappointed.

StPete:
Unfortunately books come out first before the movies, cos it'll be better to watch the movies first before reading the book. This is because most times, the movies don't measure up with the book.

Also, watching the movies first will help give you a clearer pictorial reality while reading the book.

Count of Monte Cristo - 8.5/10

An eternal classic

neztar:
sex scenes adds nothing to realism when in reality sex is supposed to be a private affair. Filmmakers only add it to excite audience.

Chibudollar:
If we truly deep it I swear sex scenes aren't that needed in movies or series, they literally make no change to the story, these days it is like all the new series and movies all comes with excess sex, you can't even put on a series to watch with the family, the Koreans are still holding it down but with Netflix entering that market watch them turn to Johnny sins in a few years

Beorn:
Was it that bad?

abduleez1:
Hmm... The AGBAs in the house are speaking.

Raalsalghul:
Maybe I'll need to check the meaning of softcore again.

Though I do know that the genitalia_ being featured are mostly prosthetics.

Raalsalghul:
You sabi, I just said the same thing now.

Raalsalghul:
Go look at Tinto Brass' filmography: the guy is a famed Italian soft core porn director.

dljbd1:
Interesting...make I Google the guy.
Even people way act am get mind sha.

I've been asking myself what the producers and directors of this movie were thinking when this movie was being made

Anny505:
DIE ANOTHER DAY 7.0/10 - Daniel Craig no too deliver for this movie, not really worth the hype I expected. Still a great watch.

Gmajor:
What if is a solid series.
The first 2 episodes were bad IMO, but the rest were solid.
