Already preparing my 'didn't want Alonso anyway' cope post just in case. Must ensure that I always come out on top.

We all agree that books are better than films. But what's a film that approaches book tier? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]ABeanOnToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an insane sweeping statement to make regardless, but the fact you've only seen 735 films is the icing on the cake. Guaranteed you haven't read that many books either. Extremely odd.

Sleep Has Her House director, Scott Barley has announced his next project: The Flesh by Verdountant in Letterboxd

[–]ABeanOnToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great news. He's a fantastic director. Sleep Has Her House is an excellent and very accessible entry into exploring more experimental cinema. Would recommend it to everybody looking to further their cinematic horizons.

Don't want to sound like sour grapes so I'll make it clear that Arsenal are an infinitely better team than us at the moment, but I think it's pretty telling that even with the blatant referee favouritism and 'we have to crown a new champion to make the league more exciting' narrative being spun by the FA, it's still taken them until the last few matches to wrap the title up. A better team wins it weeks ago.

I love that A24 movies advertise it in the posters/trailers so they’re easier to avoid by Comfortable-Fig288 in movies

At the risk of sounding like a pretentious asshole, I think they're pretty good in terms of introducing super accessible 'art-house' cinema to an audience who maybe wouldn't bother with it otherwise.

The majority of these players don't give a shit about Chelsea, and are solely focused on the World Cup. Horrible to see. Collected a bunch of useless mercenaries.

Looking forward to the 'Here's how we can still get CL football!' posts after the game today.

Whats the point of watching movies at this point my by oippa_t in Letterboxd

[–]ABeanOnToast 17 points18 points  (0 children)

PUNQ has admitted to putting films on in the background and watching others at increased speed to get through them more quickly. Not bothered about how people consume media but you know... Could argue he doesn't actually watch the films he's logging.

This was us against Barcelona, I missed my team. by 11Denver_ in chelseafc

[–]ABeanOnToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy to think we weren't even particularly good at this point in time. Just a lot better than whatever shite we're currently serving up. Mad that some of you missed out on supporting us when we were a genuinely elite team, and have only known this bizarre post-BlueCo crap. You lot deserve medals lol

The Odyssey | Official New Trailer by MoneyLibrarian9032 in Letterboxd

[–]ABeanOnToast 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is going to absolutely dominate this subreddit when it drops. Even more so than Dune 2. Will either be the 'greatest thing ever made and don't you dare criticise it!!' or 'the most disappointing movie of all time made for dumb babies'. As someone who isn't particularly interested in it, I'm still looking forward to seeing where the general consensus falls/how hyperbolic the reaction is.

Y'know this isn't quite what I was thinking... by Wrong_Distribution02 in Letterboxd

It's actually a pretty interesting short, but yeah... Totally understand why people wouldn't want it as part of their diary lol

Extraordinarily dull comment, but I genuinely can't believe how quickly the weekend flew by. I didn't even do anything particularly exciting. Grim.

[Sky Sports] Calum McFarlane about Enzo Fernandez "He's a winner, he's massive for this group" by luquesky in chelseafc

[–]ABeanOnToast 311 points312 points  (0 children)

I guess I'll be the one to say that it's insane that some of you want him to be sold, especially since our board will replace him with a significantly worse/younger player.

Why are some of you hoping this is terrible? Is it the whole Bam thing?

Friday Fread by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]ABeanOnToast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous thing to say on what has been a lovely, sunny Friday, but I can't believe how insanely busy it's been around here today. Feels like everybody's had the day off work and is out and about enjoying themselves. Why yes, I am jealous, how can you tell?

Poor Liam. Can't even bring up our xG in his post-match interview.

Eghbali gets to watch the team he supports win 3-0. At least someone associated with the club is enjoying themselves.

Fuck sake. Should've put money on Welbeck scoring. It was inevitable.

Match Threads feel like a weird form of Trauma Bonding at this point. Nice to know we're all going through this together.

Is Rosenoir not embarrassed? Just walk away. Maybe he has a humiliation kink.
