X-Men: Apocalypse
I dunno what the hate is about because I bloody loved this. Yeah some of the characters are drawn in broad strokes (neither Angel nor Psylocke has any personality, Apocalypse literally touches a TV screen for five seconds and decides he hates humanity) but when has X-Men ever been about subtlety? Although Civil War was a better-written movie, I personally enjoyed this one more. It's just so much fun. Jean Grey is absolutely spectacular and has one scene in particular in the big battle that literally had me open mouthed with sheer ecstasy. Cyclops and Nightcrawler are both fantastic and McAvoy has never been better. The scene that calls back to the first film with the same dialogue between Magneto and Xavier was so great. I'm going to see it a second time. Total win.

Europa League 2015/16 Season
Europa League has been more entertaining than Champions League this season, and last year's final was probably the best football match of the season, so I'm pretty stoked for the final. Especially as this time on paper it's much more evenly matched. Either side could hammer the other and it wouldn't be a shock.

Captain America: Civil War
There are two, one about 60 seconds after the credits begin (the better/more important one) and one right at the end, you need to stick around a good 5 minutes for it.

Captain America: Civil War
This is so good. And I'm not a huge Marvel fan, but really it doesn't feel that much like a Marvel movie or even a superhero movie. More of a human drama/thriller. There's about 20 minutes in the middle where it all gets a bit typical Marvel with a few too many jokes but on the whole it's an excellent story. The 2+ hours flew by. Bucky Barnes and Iron Man are Marvel's two best characters. Scarlet Witch also killed it. Stick around for both post-credits scenes!

Iggy Azalea - Team
Difference is that even when she's not selling huge amounts of albums, Nicki has a massive impact on pop culture. She's a genuine superstar. Nobody really cares about Iggy Azalea. She's only as relevant as her last single. And when your last single was "Team", that's a pretty shit position to be in. Black Widow just choked on its own cackle.

Least favourite 'Ray of Light' song ● Round 4
To Have and Not To Hold now, SURELY. So boring!

Madonna ● SINGLES rate 2016: THE RESULTS
Oh I definitely don't agree with this. La Isla is quite BITTERSWEET really... it's a kind of tail-end-of-summer, say goodbye to your lover song. An absolute anthem, but hardly as joyous as something like Express Yourself or Vogue. I would say overall it got the best reaction on the Rebel Heart Tour. I don't think a single person wasn't screaming along to every word.

Fever Survivor Round 11
I'm consigned to Fever leaving this round but I voted In Your Eyes. Just a tad overrated.

Elle King - America's Sweetheart
It's DREADFULLY directed! Like it looks like it was shot on somebody's phone (not even an iphone) by somebody who doesn't know shit about editing, framing or any other aspect of shooting a music video.

Elle King - America's Sweetheart
That is one horrendous video. What was the budget? Surely not directed by a professional?! Song won't do a thing either although it's not bad.

Barclays Premier League chat ii
I actually think the biggest threat for anyone in or around the top 6 is the pressure Liverpool are putting on United. I wouldn't be shocked to see City-Liverpool-United in 4th-5th-6th. Great performance from the Gunners tonight. Except Giroud, obviously.

Madonna ● SINGLES rate 2016: THE RESULTS
It's just a good song. Thoroughly outclassed by the genuine classics around it here, not just in the top 10 but the top 20/30. And not even a patch on Jump.
-
Madonna ● SINGLES rate 2016: THE RESULTS
Cackling at Sorry being top 10. Only on Buzzjack! Otherwise though that's a pretty stellar line-up.

Delta Goodrem - Dear Life
Oh good! It's Delta's annual single that will chart well but never be followed up with anything and won't be on the album that comes out in 7 years.

Europa League 2015/16 Season
Best match of football I've seen since Sevilla came back to win last year's Europa League. Rarely will there be 90 minutes more entertaining than that. Liverpool absolutely slayed it.

Champions League 2015/16
A City v Atletico final, mirrored by Liverpool v Sevilla in the Europa League, would be brilliant. Particularly for Pelligrini.
