Homme Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) 18 minutes ago, I P Knightley said: He'll be the favourite but not surefire at all. Zverev has been handy most of last year; ShitsHisPants stands a good chance; Berretini might have a decent go at it and there's a few more bunched up. None of them may ever challenge Fed/Nadal/Djoko for greatness but they should be able to serve up a good tourney for us. My outside bet will be Felix A-A. Not outrageously outside, I'll admit. Maybe some wee British laddie that few people have heard of? Will be Zverev or Med most likely. Outwith that can see Hurkacz maybe stepping up. RBA is playing some lovely stuff right now at the min top but will never quite be at that too level. Tsitsipas and Berrettini both coming off surgery so I don't think they'll feature at the death. Still plenty of tennis to be played before the business end of the AO mind you. I'd love to see a new winner again.

Aye my review is somewhere on " the last film you watched" found it “ The many saints of Newark “ There have been a few reviews of this here . Being a massive Sops fan I was really looking forward to this . As others have noted it’s slightly above average I would say . Probably I’m mildly disappointed . However I knew there was no way they Could achieve the heights of the tv show , particularly the outstanding cast like James Galdolfino , Lorraine Bracco , Nancy Marchand et al . However it has some style and the acting is fine . I expected more of a storyline regarding Jonny and Livia Soprano ? There relationship was often mentioned in the tv series and the Film was an ideal opportunity To illustrate it and the viewer could then understand Tony and Livia more . There was clearly a homage to Dr Melfi when Dick when to visit his uncle in jail and he was almost getting therapy from him . I also liked the scene when Livia was at the school and found out Tony had spoken about a “ one of the best nights of his life “ ( when she read him a bedtime story. ) it was a very touching scene . It’s a shame that the plot seemed to be waylaid by the black gangsters sun plot . I really couldn’t understand that really . Anyway I’d give it 7/10 for its acting and whacking scenes ! 😂 I also thought the actors who played Paulie and Silvio were hysterical . Vera Farmerg I felt looked really like Edi Falco ( Carmela ) I wonder if this was deliberate ? Tony marrying a woman who looks like his mom.

Dennis Denuto Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I have seen a few Australians saying that their Governments etc should have handled the situation better, but I'm not sure they could. They got him in on the exemption, all was going to be fine, then the dick tweets from the tarmac as he is about to fly out that he's better than everyone else as he can get an exemption that they can't, look at me I'm not Vaxes but I can get in anyway and ****s the Authorities right over. It is a situation entirely of his own making and the actual Vax/Unvax and entry rules are almost an irrelevance. He created the situation where it had to be shown everyone was going to be treated equally, when in reality that was not what was going to happen - well now it is.
