Well football is popular, but I'd say the Premier League is not nearly as popular as it should, given its games being so much better than our local leagues (yes it is). Also the organization, broascasts itselves etc.
You have to consider the price of the payed channels on that math, though, and we have another one little problem here: one channel has 80% of the audience no matter what it broadcasts (and it only broadcasts sports that Brazil is directly involved).
It's pretty sad when i get to work and say "OMG Liverpool will give me a heart attack some day" and the guy next to me says "who?".

Down here it's restricted to ESPN Brasil/ESPN international, which are both paid. They usually broadcast 4-5 games per matchday, ocasionally broadcasting something from the League 1 too.
So last night I went to see The Hunger Games. Wasn't expecting much.
What I saw was some breathtaking scenes combined with some bad parts (it kind of feels cheap at times). Camera work was top notch, which made me like the movie more than I probably should, but who cares. Story was weak. Jenny was great/hot.
Overall, it was better than I anticipated and surprisingly enjoyable, but it does feel a little off.
That's actually a good thing (not having the same opinions).
And just to be on topic, I had another session of those-old-movies-that-everyone-talks-about-and-I-can't-join-the-conversation-because-I've-never-seen-them.
This time around was the probably recommended before Dr. Strangelove.
It's... weird.
Great match there! Is there something like an easy Liverpool win?
The blue side had spirit, I'll give them that.
No brilliant football, but lots of drama and fighting. Throughly enjoyed every second!
Now, red ones, get back on track, will ya?
Regarding the LFSBr forum, I went there now (had forgot about it :schwitz and there's still nothing other than a lonely "I think this is a good idea".
Might be a better idea in fact to contact the guy directly - but is there a way to know who he is?
Watched Drive a few days ago, thought it was pretty good. Just not what you'd expect from your usual bad-guy-car-chase-movie.
But maybe I missed something?
Can't find "The Wire" anywhere around here. It's not on TV, it's not on stores. Sigh.
In other news, I'm going through the "Alien" franchise. Watched the first ones when I was a little kid but it's been a long time now, and didn't watch the last two movies. Since Prometheus is being made and I want that, I thought it was a good time to refresh my mind.
I personally thought Alien was brilliant. Slow paced, suspenseful, really takes its time to build up for the second half. Well thought out and executed. Aliens was more like an action movie, guns and explosions and 'bugs' being crushed all the time. Annoying characters that are only there to improve the body count. It's ok but not really my cup of tea.
