Average Extra of: The Government to Consider Banning Facebook for Under 16's in 2026 by AverageMansReviews

 Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content will contain adult censored language

What a load of manure really!: What the hell are you doing? True as of this content being first created I have no children or I don't think I have any children... just joking. But it has to be asked what spastic brain-dead politician [I will apologise for saying a word politician but considering I can use the other two words I am absolutely fine.] But seriously who came up with this concept... really?

Because I will tell you from experience the three generations after me as I am in my 40s once again as of this content being first created; cannot deal with life already as they are being wrapped up in cotton wool as just for one example and no this is not any sexist connotations but I know the least over recent times three women that can't use a microwave or a toaster, or the younger generations can't deal with face-to-face flattery such as being given a number without messing their underwear or regardless of any genders they are amazed and very intimidated by a bloke in a wheelchair that speaks fluently and is very cognitively aware.

I am not defending any social media platforms just for the record; but my point is; these young children or young adults or apparently adults nowadays just don't have the mixing skills or verbal or being able to read a situation and you may or may not like this but the problem is; the parents you have them; you educate them in life and don't you dare use that ball-manure it is up to the schools to teach my children, that is the most laziest parenting I have ever heard, school is meant to educate your children, some social skills and behavioural skills, combined with that it should come from parents and family.

No way in hell should be up to the government to raise your children you are aware that most adult websites have now been blocked in the UK, because you couldn't be bothered to raise your children properly... right?

But I can hear parents going but... but... but you didn't have this growing up?! Yes we did, just on a completely different level, because easily I would say the late 70s, 80s and 90s children got bombarded by toy advertisings including the actual cartoon series were designed to sell merchandise, I mean in particular the 80s kids in the 90s kids would remember this one specific tagline of something to the effect of "Batteries not included and each sold separately" or vice versa. I mean where does this banning finish, because does that mean they are going to ban cartoons from this present and future generations, including present and future toys marketing because it was mentally abusive to my little brain; that was already severely brain-damaged.

Hell if this banning does go through two things are going to happen; these modern generations are going to have real personality disorders, because they aren't going to be able to cope with real life and secondly if this does go through I want this government and future governments to pay from the 1970s to 2000 in generations mental health bills; so we can seek medical assistance for having this marketing pushed on us for decades: obviously as you can tell all should be able to tell I think this whole thing is bull-manure, because my mum/main carer has always said " Raising two big boys/men was hard work as individually or together you are hard work, but it was lots of fun with lots of stories to tell."

And potentially/broadly speaking you are robbing your children of memories and stories to tell in the future if you are not hands on teaching them as you go along about for one example social media or/and keeping an eye on or setting your own ground rules or opening a dialogue with your children to begin with; so to finish here is a great idea; why don't you get off your mobile devices yourselves, because I see you all around with your heads in your phones and you are not paying attention and I mean genuine attention to your children, instead of getting angry with them and then going back to social media or whatever, you should be text in someone if you need some shopping or something out of necessity and then go back to your children; but my point is clear; get off your mobile devices and raise your own children.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 2024 by AverageMansReviews

A Shadow is seeking revenge: briefly; Shadow the Hedgehog [voiced by: Keanu Reeves:] he is a very powerful individual that is seeking revenge for something that happened 50 years ago and after dealing with Sonic the Hedgehog [voiced by Ben Schwartz:] he has made his family and home on Earth alongside his family and team, they decide to go and seek the assistance of someone that they rather wouldn't work with in the shape of Dr. Ivo Robotnik/another character [Jim Carey:] he is a long-term enemy of Sonic and his team, but as you will see Dr. Robotnik to begin with is not in the best shape.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 110 minutes film is; well it has a clear idea of what it is doing and it's objective and sticks to it without any problems.

Art, action and comedy; the animation is more fluent and then previous instalments such as Team Sonic takes on Shadow for the first time; they have designed it so that; it has that big moment sequence feel and presentation which it doesn't disappoint or much later on; Dr. Ivo Robotnik and his partner in crime are dancing through these security lasers; the choreographing is highly entertaining, be it from a visual perspective or/and a highly comical perspective as well; to the track Galvanise by The Chemical Brothers released in 2005. I would be highly disappointed if at some point down the line if this sequence of events didn't pick up at the very least some nominees for positive awards.

Character developments, voice performances and performances; broadly speaking all three of these have been excellently progressed, fresh and up and/or Jim Carey pulling double duty is masterfully hilarious as for a tiny example we get a small reference to the Green Lantern 2011 film. But let's begin at the beginning now; for the returning characters they have been smoothly updated be it voice or physical appearance and now with the natural and smooth integration of Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog; that so far like everyone else that takes a voice role in this franchise so far to date; they naturally gel as one and physical appearances; Alyla Browne as Maria: without giving too much away; she is a very close friend to Shadow and Krysten Ritter as Director Rockwell; she is a high-ranking officer that works for G.U.N [Guardian Units of Nations;] she provides a stern character that is doing her job, but we don't have one of those type of characters were it is a very basic version of this character type; she is a well rounded in-depth version of this character type; so that if need be she will push against all comers; be it Sonic and his team or anyone else; so consequently likewise she gels in with the rest of this cast.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; in one way or another it has lots going on and as an instalment it does move things along with computer game versions in the closing credits including but not limited to one extra credit scene at each section, so altogether there are 2 extra scenes.

Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content is not for anyone under being of 18 as there will be censored adult language references including references to racism.

Statement from the Kick It Out campaign regarding Sir Radcliffe facing no major consequences over his recent colonisation immigrants comments: "Kick It Out is disappointed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has not been given a stronger sanction for bringing the game into disrepute.

When speaking in any capacity, he is still a representative and co-owner of Manchester United, which has a global following. Unprompted, he brought the club into a TV interview where he was inaccurate with the facts and divisive with his language

At a time when various forces are seeking to divide society, football must stand united. We urge those in leadership positions to be mindful of the responsibility they carry."

Frankly if I was Kick It Out I would be extremely urinated off as I made reference in the second link, this was the first time ever in history that the FA/FAA could have really stood by these campaigns/programs and delivered a strong message that regardless of position in life, if you are clearly breaking rules and including campaigns for diversity, equal and inclusion then we will not tolerate this but let's be honest instead of standing up for their campaigns, they basically bent them over and made sweet sweet love to them.

So where do these campaigns/programs go from here? Because I mean and I am not dramatise it here, but it has been less than 24 hours since all of this went down and the repercussions of everything are already beginning to show.

Because on social media we are now seeing people saying it is good that he didn't face any repercussions or something to that effect or using the old chestnut of freedom of speech, there is a difference between a freedom of speech and being a co-owner of a football/soccer team which has a history, a president and a future employing such as football players from different countries and so on, so if he wants to share his freedom of speech do the right thing and leave Manchester United today, not tomorrow, not 2 weeks, not 2 years not 15 years I mean today. If you have real convictions on what you say Radcliffe leave Manchester United and go and join Reform UK and be Nigel Farage's little female doggie, Oh I have just remembered they may not take you because you yourself are a self-imposed immigrant of France, but Radcliffe people like you disgust me; simply based on the facts that you want all the positives of immigration be it the best players for an example or/and the tax breaks, yet you have the audacity to blame immigration what for? It really doesn't concern you, if anything you are either making money off the bat of immigrants or/and using immigrant status to save money.... so your opinion/opinions mean absolutely manure.

So I don't know where these campaigns/programs go from here? Because I know football... and that basically means from now on there will be in a certain section of our football community using this whole Radcliffe situation as a benchmark for what is acceptable; meaning if a football fan uses a racial slur they now have an excellent defence on why they shouldn't face any repercussions or being arrested based on the grounds of I just insulted one person Radcliffe insulted a good proportion of the UK and not only was he not arrested, he faced no major repercussions, so by definition I should be okay to not only not be banned from the stadium but also not arrested for racially insulting that player, so I have some major problems with things being rammed down my throat, but at the same time I do understand little of why campaigns/programs are here, but now they face a massive uphill struggle to be taken seriously after this... so well done FA/FAA [and for those people that can't read or pick up subtext I am being sarcastic.]

Real Talking Time:

Warning: this content is not for anyone under being of 18 as there will be censored adult language references including but not limited to racism.

This is absolutely horse manure!: As it was told yesterday that the FA that Sir Jim Radcliffe will not face any further action over his recent references to the UK being colonised by immigrants on Sky News on 11/02/2026, but has been reminded by the FAA: of his responsibilities as it relates to taking part in interviews, so essentially at best it gets a verbal warning and at worst he gets away with it.

So can someone tell me what the fudge are we doing here? Seriously? All of this campaigning in one way or another for kick racism out, take the knee or inclusivity this or that... I mean the uncomfortable truth is for the first time ever for anyone to show some real change it still comes down to one thing and one thing only; one rule for us and one rule for them, I mean I am old enough and jaded enough to know this is the reality of life, so am I surprised? Am I hollocks.

So what I would recommend is stop funding these idealistic campaigns/programs and even though this is my content, I am not actually saying these things, I'm saying it from the perspective of; the FA/FAA have choked big time and it can be only seen on the same level as Arsenal trying to somehow either get over the line or somehow handing the Premiership title to Manchester City this season; but on a serious note; what I would have liked to see is Radcliffe get a 10 year ban from visiting any premiership club for a league match. Then I could say okay anyone from any walk of life, it is clear that football; in the world of football; they don't want this horse manure anymore; so fair play good result and good on the hierarchy of football for standing by their convictions.

But back in reality; I hope the hierarchy of any football nation including the FA/the FAA is coming to the realisation that based on this result; it makes any future disciplinary action virtually impossible; based on the fact you have now set a president.

Allow me to show you what I mean; so we have a player allegedly using racist language towards another player; based on your standard set I don't see a problem with this, because if Radcliffe can say roughly we have been colonised by immigrants [which has the potential to offend millions upon millions of people] and not seeing any genuine repercussions for this, then there should be no problem with one player using allegedly a racist word as it one or more players.

I mean I can even go one more step and say whatever good the campaigning all programs did, that Liverpool fan in a wheelchair that got arrested for racist language towards Antoine Semenyo; should have never been arrested and furthermore should now be able to return to Anfield without any problems as it was just one-on-one; so can't you see this outcome of Radcliffe is heavily damaging to these campaigns/programs and now completely undermines them entirely And since I have been dictating this content, and now experiencing one of the biggest problems with Redcliffe's comments it has now galvanised those individuals of strong racist views to express them as over the last day and a half and yet Redcliffe is to no real consequences what a complete fudgin' joke: so I have one last thing to say... Come on Tottenham, You can take a point or points off the Arsenal!

Just a roundabout 7 days until retirement; what could go wrong?: Sergeant Roger Murtaugh [Danny Glover:] he is planning to retire within about a week's time and Sergeant Martin Riggs [ Mel Gibson:] is ever so slightly I would say nudging him to possibly reconsider with comments like something to the effect of; you go to miss all of this?: But don't worry we just have enough time for one more case.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script has everything that its fans would have come to expect from this franchise, but including the gutsy move to include youth gun violence and in hindsight that is the only disappointing thing about this film; which it is nothing against this film, but you will get my point; that this film was released in 1992 and when this content is first being created it is now 2026 and the USA still has gun issues. The framework and pacing of this 118 minutes film is incredibly well structured as everything mean something with a minimum consistent pacing with the option to go up and down throughout the gear when it is time to do so with this very natural increase and decrease in pacing; it has a very natural flow to proceedings.

Action and comedy; so yes our favourite Sergeants at this point anyway may have got older, but it is good to see that much hasn't changed as they tried to refuse a bomb, even though the bomb squad is on the way Riggs basically indicates; we can do this... but without giving too much away at least they saved this young cat, consequently sometime later they get to have some fun with this jaywalker and Sergeant Riggs gets to make another new four-legged friend

Character developments and performances; the character developments are multilayered as we have retirement, youth and gun violence, a reversal Sergeants Murtaugh obviously and clearly going through something that no one should ever go through, but he had no choice. But he has Sargent Riggs trying to be there for him as he and his family was for him way back when and newcomer in the form of Rene Russo as Lorna Cole: she is from Internal Affairs, that to begin with comes can't disclose, but eventually she works with Sergeants Murtaugh and Riggs; she perfectly slots in and as you will see she is more than capable to hang with Sergeants Murtaugh and Riggs; amongst the established returning characters and cast; so on average the performances are excellent, especially from Danny Glover and Mel Gibson.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; for still at this time in history including youth gun violence, remained fresh, doing the role reversal thing and moving things on, whilst also maintaining their assets of this franchise, this is why this instalment has the mark it does; we also have an extra bit, somewhere around the closing credits something comes over the police radio and off they go again; this is voice only. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; such as 3 Winners which include but not limited to MTV Movie + TV Awards 1993 MTV Movie Award Best On-Screen Duo Mel Gibson Danny Glover. 4 Nominees which also include but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event  MTV Movie Award Best Kiss Mel Gibson Rene Russo.

Dyer & Jones are back for another kickabout: briefly; we meet Mark Lamanuzzi [Danny Dyer:] he has recently got married to the one he loves, but the only thing he has equal love for is the game of football/soccer; in this case the England football team through a European Championships, so he will eventually have to choose between one of his loves. The Boss [Vinnie Jones:] he is a internal character in Mark/Dyer's head that runs him like a football manager of England as Mark/Dyer is English with his England T-shirt on, so not necessarily the England football/soccer team.

Generally speaking: the framework is well laid out to incorporate; the internal, external and sometimes both components of this film with a base rate of good pacing of this 94 minutes film; we also have this commentary pairing of John Smith-Jones and Alan O'Luan [Jonathan Broke and Mark Lynch:] for this film they work for Flying On The Ball: to give us this exciting match between this newly married husband-and-wife, the action; football matches are sometimes brought to us by this exquisite art/animation; as they really put across; let's just say the positive components to being of any gender a football/soccer fan; I can really appreciate the high level of imagination as it relates to the comedy and art, the internal character developments and performances are good; but it also has to be said that Dyer and Jones have an excellent on-screen connection. The reason why I have grouped it all together or mostly altogether is because instead of clutching at straws; it would just be easier for me to say this; they very much at one point or another work simultaneously together.

Comedy, Character developments and performances; yes we do have some mature comedy references such as for a clean version Mark's new in-laws hearing too much on the telephone, the kind of things that you don't want to know and things you won't forget in a hurry, the external character developments and performances on both counts are good and the same can be said for performances as well.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; for it is unique football take on his honeymoon provided by this commentary team, the internal and external comedy and the art, yes it can be seen as a little bit cheesy, but on the whole this marking is richly deserved. This film also has 1 Winner accredited award to its name in the form of Fantasporto 2006 Audience Jury Award Richard Nockles Marlowe Fawcett

The Damned United 2009 by AverageMansReviews



Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/burning/medical/references to racism

Derby County and Leeds United between the 1960s and 70s: Brian Clough [Michael Sheen:] he is a fiery yet charismatic manager of Derby County; that gets a bee in his bonnet, when he gets disrespected by another manager. Peter Taylor [Timothy Spall:] he is a calming assistant manager of Derby County Clough's number two, but as you will see not any less important; this is their story.

Generally speaking: storyline/script, framework, art, action and pacing; the storyline/script follows this time period, back and forth and some references to the 1980s, the framework has been designed to go backward and forward in time including but not limited to just the result of the match. The person I want some of this content with did get a little bit confused about the time jumps, which for me I get what they were trying to do, but there are some occasions where you have been a long time settled in a particular place and time and then you get picked up and dropped off, so you have to get settled again and sometime later you will have to repeat the cycle and so on and so forth, it is also clean and tidy well presented with the progression of Derby County or not so much Leeds United and we get to see some football, so broadly speaking and pacing of this 97 minute film is good, as I referenced earlier in this section what with the place jumps sometimes interrupting the flow of the movie, I think saying it is good is a fair statement.

Character developments and performances; combined these are the strongest asset to this project; as his character developments and performances are individually or together are excellent interpretations of who they are meant to be and to cover my back I only know of some of these people of their football reputation; so Michael Sheen as Brian Clough: leads this cast masterfully as how can I put this nicely; Clough was always indicated as someone that had a certain presence about him and attitude, which we experience perfectly in this film, without giving too much away but enough in this content; I like how this film explores Clough's relationship with Taylor; Timothy Spall as Peter Taylor: as seemingly as it is depicted in this interpretation that Taylor for the vast majority of their relationship, he had to have patience of a saint; but I would say on balance they needed one another to get the best out of each other; one was fire and the other water and behind them is an excellent assembled cast, there are no weak links.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; I have decided to award another mark, because after everything is said and done, it is a better and a more complete interpretation of the experience of this movie; this film is as I have already referenced an excellent interpretation on how Brian Clough was a once-in-a-lifetime character, but also a difficult person to get along with if you didn't see his vision or how he wanted things done his way. This film also has some awards accredited to its name in the form of 5 Nominees which include but not limited to Satellite Awards 2009 Satellite Award Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama Michael Sheen and Best Actor in a Supporting Role Timothy Spall
