'DIEGO MARADONA': Official Trailer VIDEO

Diego Maradona is a football legend, and although that word gets bandied about A LOT in both football/soccer circles, as well as sport in general, Maradona is the real deal.

And therein lies the distinction: are we talking about Maradona or are we talking about Diego?

In the third film from the Academy Award and BAFTA-winning team behind SENNA and AMY and producer Paul Martin, 'DIEGO MARADONA' the movie is constructed from over 500 hours of never-before-seen footage from Maradona’s personal archive with the full support of the man himself.

Trailer JUST in:

Maradona’s glorious run past England’s defenders on the field is the stuff of legend.

AND: that goal he scored minutes earlier with his hand – the celebrated “hand of God”, as he coined it, was the stuff of legend of mythical proportions. See that moment in football history here:

The commentary back then was both dramatic and kinda funny: “Cosmic kite, what planet are you from that you can leave so many Englishmen in your wake?” Then ensued sob of joy at such a feat, celebrated across Argentina as revenge for the Falklands War. Oh yes, remember that? The tension!

On July 5, 1984, Diego Maradona arrived in Naples (as pictured above) for a world-record fee. For seven years he turned the football world upside down.

Says the film blurb:

He was the world’s most celebrated football icon and the most passionate but dangerous city in Europe were a perfect match for each other.
On the pitch, Diego Maradona was a genius. Off the pitch, he was treated like a God. The charismatic Argentine loved a fight against the odds and led Napoli to their first-ever title. It was the stuff of dreams.

But there was a price… Diego could do as he pleased while performing miracles on the pitch but, as time passed, darker days closed in.

'DIEGO MARADONA' is directed by Asif Kapadia.

Charlie Hebdo: response to Paris attacks: PHOTO, magazine cover

Charlie Hebdo.

The French satirical magazine - which was the target of terror attacks and fatalities in January this year, with nine fatalities - delivered its new cover for its November 18 issue... just about to be released today.

The latest attack left at least 132 dead and many, many injured in the wake of one of the worst terrorist attacks in the city’s history. 

Here’s Hebdo’s cover, which reads, Ils ont les armes. On les emmerde. On a le champagne:

The unobscured cover:

The actual, no bullshit, not watered down for publication translation is:

"They have weapons. Fuck them. We have champagne."

WOW.

Ireland votes 'Yes' for gay marriage

In sensational news in, Ireland has voted 'Yes' for gay marriage.

In one of the largest turnouts in a referendum in Ireland, 62 percent of voters said 'Yes' - making Ireland the first country to adopt same-sex marriage via a popular vote.

The landslide is fantastic news, considering Ireland is a traditionally Catholic country that only decriminalised homosexuality two decades ago. Yes.

Anti gay marriage folks: don't worry… nothing changes AT ALL in your marriage. There is no reason to oppose it, nobody is ruining "the sanctity" of your union. (*SMH*)

Australia, hurry the hell up and follow suit.
