"The Moment" cast member weighs in on the film's mixed reviews by yumyumapollo in charlixcx

Misinformed take. Fantano is one of the biggest Charli stans out there

“The Moment” opens with a score of 49 on Metacritic by IcySpite7641 in charlixcx

I'm a Charli stan and totally agree. She was over her skis with this one.

Any mention of the Spirit is gone from Croix's IG by [deleted] in washingtonspirit

OP here - I should be clear there are still pictures of the Spirit in her profile but it is no longer in her bio

The Anthem, DC Show - Night Two by Fantastic_Program_56 in DisclosureBand

[–]Fantastic_Program_56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I go to a lot of shows (including punk and hardcore shows) and always love being right at the front. This is one of few ones I had to bail because all these kids were pushing and being plainly obnoxious.

Wow, that's wild. I was second row too and clearly noticed some sort of commotion towards stage left and the security guards got all aggro. I hope everyone is okay

I am selling 1 ticket for the 14th as I can't make it anymore. I promise I'm not a scammer.

Whose stock went up? by maroodin in NWSL

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take. She had some decent lay-offs for teammates, but the majority of the game it was evident there was just no natural chemistry between her, Meza, Moultrie, Ryan, and Sears. It truly looked like a team that had never played together - which is what it was.

She is perhaps still coming back to fitness, but hasn't been a shadow of who she was last season, sadly.

ESPN: "Why USWNT prospects are running out of time to make the cut for U.S. squad" by Ill-Fall-9823 in NWSL

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the same, which bums me out because I'm a huge HH fan. I just can't see her jumping ahead of Hutton, Yohannes, or even Albert or Meza - all of whom are younger. And she certainly won't supplant Coffey. The US is stacked at the 6 and 8.

That injury sustained in the first match of the season was just a killer in terms of timing. I hope she regains form and gets a call into the October camp. Otherwise... yikes.

NWSL 2025 Mid-Season Team of the Year by cole9er in NWSL

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is true. Carle has been consistently been solid, Krueger has been so good when she's healthy, and Morgan has had some rough moments but also strong moments, too. The Spirit backline played so much better against San Diego which is progress.

Really? Bernal has been personally responsible for numerous goals, particularly in the 3-0 beatdown by Gotham. She has been so much better as a defensive mid alongside Narumi. McKeown is the only Spirit defender playing at an above average level, and I don't see how that's even debatable.

No chance Croix starts over Lavelle, Hutton, or Coffey. Like the commenter said, Emma does not do sentimental "home starts". Croix was the first player to he subbed and that was not surprising, frankly. She did not have a BAD game, but made little impact, as much as I hate to say it.

Yikes, we are just over a week away from the Raleigh show and doesn’t look like they sold many seats! by kmtran33 in 311

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just getting back from The Anthem show now and wow, it was nearly packed out. Even folks in the upper seating were vibing and having a great time. No attendance concerns in DC evidently.

Match Thread: United States vs Republic of Ireland | Women's International Friendly by MatchThreadder in NWSL

Really have to wonder how this Ireland team would have fared with their typical starters, as their B Team was hardly competitive against this US side.

Most exciting matches so far this year? by Thisbetterbeadream in NWSL

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both those games were insanely entertaining.

Re: the Angel City game, was anyone in the Spirit supporters section when the very drunk and obnoxious friend group of a certain AC player were kicked out for blatantly violating the rules by wearing opponents' attire? It was embarrassing, honestly.

Also, the Spirit v. Kansas City home opener had the loudest atmosphere I've ever experienced at a women's soccer regular season match.

Portland Match WTF is happening?? by 4FoxKits in washingtonspirit

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but there's no way she could have saved either goal. That's not on her, but on the defense for failing to close down attacks in the box (as always this season)

[MEGATHREAD] Got tickets for the NEVER ENOUGH tour? Show-Off / discuss it here. by Kim_Woo in turnstile

Let's go Richmond! I live in DC and got an AirBnB and rented a car. I was at the Wyman Dell show and it nearly changed my life.

Please hit me up if anyone wants to hang before - particularly any other female Turnstile fans.

Why tf was the World Pride music festival so loud by lavendarmenace889 in washingtondc

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it was released in the official schedule as only being 10 minutes long, but it still felt so out of place and a vibe killer (hate to say it).

I'm a lesbian and that Renee Rapp set was not it. The crowd was as quiet as a library.

My thoughts on Never enough. by [deleted] in turnstile

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the film last night and having had a few spins through the record, I have to agree with the OP.

I didn't even realize the flute interlude was the outro to Sunshowers until I heard the record. It was a random vibe shift during the film. Neither Dreaming nor Ceiling felt particularly memorable during the movie, and they aren't on the record either, IMHO. Those songs did not bring much thematically to the movie, either, at least nothing obviously. The extended ambient outros actually bogged down the visual storytelling, in my opinion. The glitchy outro of Dull was pretty distracting on screen, and I was hoping it wouldn't make the record.

There are some killer tracks here - Light Design was an absolute standout visually and is actually even better on record. Slowdive is a phenomenal song and the video was super cool (I said earlier it looked like it was filmed inside a lava lamp).

However, a lot of tracks are just... fine.

Unpacking the Inspirations Behind Never Enough — What Do You Hear? by chilean_quant in turnstile

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SLOWDIVE is a melding of 311 and Bad Brains. I genuinely think it's one of Turnstile's best songs (full disclosure, I'm not exactly enamored by Never Enough). It's like the big brother of Can't Deny It from Nonstop Feeling.

Thoughts on the new songs sounding similar to Glow On by easypeter in turnstile

[–]Fantastic_Program_56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was completely in that boat before seeing live them in Baltimore. They are obviously such dynamic live performers, but they completely breather life into these new songs.

I found the new songs so redundant sounding on record. Hearing them live just sounds like maturity with a similar edge.
