I assumed Francis Ford Coppola had his own thread for years. He's 85 years old and directed some of the most iconic films ever made.

I like one of the top two and dislike the other. Not saying which yet, because that'll suddenly make it even more fucking popular.

Thousands of missiles fired at Gaza, we've not looked to shoot down a single one. A foreign embassy flattened, we didn't say a word. Now we're blowing up Iranian missiles not aimed at us. This is bound to end well.

Sunak was so quick out of the traps with his statement on the Iran attack on Israel. (Completely silent of course when Israel attacked the embassy in Syria). So does he think getting involved will be his Falklands moment? He's seriously deluded if he thinks dragging the UK into this right now has much support in this country. Israel should exist, but this isn't our fight. Providing arms to Israel is really dodgy given what's going on in Gaza - an escalation which puts our bases in Cyprus and inevitably our own territory at risk isn't what I'd call a good move. This isn't a vote winner. But as he clings to the last days of his Government, he could do some serious damage to us. Without ever being elected.

I've been playing it for years

Why not change things up and not do music, who fancies a Kill or Save on forum users.

Various reports that Rico Wade, one-third of the production team Organized Noize behind various artists including Outkast and the cousin of rapper Future, has died: Co-wrote Waterfalls for TLC. IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2728302/

Yeah, not saying I'd put them both (or either necessarily) through, but they're both good. Haven't yet settled on my 4 going through. Definitely the best version of Hallelujah anyway.

This is just what I've always done. I looked at the doubles and pick the one I like best. There's one in the 08-09 round for Leona Lewis.

Is that so?

Dino Zoff. Captain of the World Cup winning Italian team of 1982 and arguably one of the greatest ever goalkeepers. Will Obit almost everywhere. 82 this year

Artist and former popular 20/20 pick, Faith Ringgold dead at 93.

Best post of the week.

Having spent some of my day off yesterday sorting out the 10s No.1s, ‘interesting’ is I’d say a nice, positive spin on what is an absolute calamity.

He's been working more in recent years than he has for decades though - Megalopolis is due to hit the festivals circuit next month, a project that he's been tinkering with since the late 70s and had to sell his winefields to finance because it ballooned in production costs a la Apocalypse Now.

So do I. Unfortunately I'm only 43.

Because he dreams of Jimmy licking him all over.

It might be of interest here to say that after Prince Richard dies, the Dukedom of Gloucester will cease to be Royal. After two generations they lose their Royal status. Richard's father Henry was a son of a monarch (George V) and Richard a grandson and first cousin of a monarch. After this the relationship of the Duke becomes too distant from the Crown. The same will apply to Kent when Prince Edward, the current Duke of Kent, dies. This is why Edinburgh was changed to a life peerage - to prevent the Dukedom going out of the immediate family.

Can someone here put "Out of Juice" as the dead tagline for this thread?

So did you think you'd outlive OJ?

Reg Beresford died aged 100 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reg_Beresford and so did Alf Patrick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Patrick I'm sure there's some others a little while back.

I don't think we have ever mentioned her on here but the "Trial of Joan of Arc" star Florence Delay is still going strong at 77. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Delay
