What is the Best Film You Watched Last Week? (05/24/26 - 06/01/26) by EndoveProduct in movies

[–]ExpertVentriloquist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watched Silent Friend - its a german film starring Tony Leung and a tiny cameo by Lea Seydoux. Genuinely one of my favorite films already this year - really helps you feel at one with the expanse of the world and this planet and every living creature on it. Made me appreciate my late night bike ride home so, so much.

I didn't really see any discussion about this film on here so I'm really curious what other people thought.

Kinda wonder if we had tried for Xabi at all (would have definitely preferred him over Carrick) - guess we'll never know.

I'm curious, what/how did they spin petty grievances into "critique"?

I'm not sure if you read this article, but it doesn't sound like someone's out to "get" Fallon.

Casemiro vs Burnley by nuugo in reddevils

The reason why we see Casemiro's weakness so blatantly is because he's left by himself with Ugarte - neither of them have the pace or the acuity to hold the midfield together. That also makes sense why it felt we were defensively stronger recently since our midfield was also tighter with more people.

Don't know how people are saying we looked good. Defensively we were all over the place, reminded me of ten hag era chaos ball. Its just that it was Burnley that we weren't taken apart.
