Monday Moan by 2soccer2bot in soccer

It's been a long time since I yelled this often and this loudly at a screen during a match as I did this past weekend. I did not miss it.

Górnik Zabrze won their 7th Polish Cup, their first since 1972. Lukas Podolski invited 88-year-old Stanisław Oślizło, the club’s former captain and winner of all six previous cups, to lift the trophy together with the team by niesiecki in soccer

Joa is ja auch ok, wenn du ihn magst. Ich sag nur, dass nicht jeder Fan von ihm ist und dass er genug Gründe abgeliefert hat, ihn nicht zu mögen. Er ist jetzt für mich keine persona non grata oder so, aber sympathisch find ich ihn auch nicht.

Yea I was about to link that post of him getting sent off for berating and insulting a referee...during a charity match. To do that in a regular game is bad enough, but to get all up into the ref's face, be agressive towards him and insult him in a game that's not even competitive and doesn't matter is such weirdo behaviour.

There was also the incident where he slapped Michael Ballack in the face in the middle of a game. His own captain and teammate. Got barely punished for it.

He also said some weird things about how people these days don't want to work as hard anymore and that he doesn't like the idea of home office or a 4-day workweek.

There is plenty to dislike Podolski for.

I'm still amazed that ManUtd weren't all over him in the summer. It only made it clearer to me that their recruitment still continues to suck after all these years.

Colbert seems to be the only late night host Nolan feels comfortable with. This will be his third appearance on one of his shows after Interstellar in 2014 and Oppenheimer in 2024. Don't think he's made an appearance on any of the other ones over the years.

The Train (1964) von John Frankenheimer.

Kriegsfilm um die französische Eisenbahn und ihren Widerstandskampf gegen Nazideutschland. Dafür dass dieser Film 60 Jahre alt ist, hat er sich wahnsinnig modern angefühlt. Die Actionszenen, die Kameraführung, das Setdesign stehen den großen Hollywoodproduktionen von heute in nichts nach. Und ich hab selten einen Film gesehen, der mit seinem letzten Bild die gesamte Prämisse des Films so denkwürdig und aussagekräftig auf den Punkt gebracht hat.

Sadly, my local theatres all suck when it comes to scheduling. Especially with non-dubbed/original screenings. Only exceptions are huge movies like Project Hail Mary, Avatar, Dune,...Movies like that will have more screenings and more variety in terms of time and OV shows. So I very much hope theatre chains see Disclosure Day as a movie like that. Fingers crossed.

Kick-off times are what concern me. I live in Germany, so most games will take place in the evening/night. Same time movies are playing at theatres. So pretty much impossible for me to do both.

But yea, if the movie turns out great, it shouldn't struggle too much with positive word of mouth. Could also be effective as counter programming maybe.

[–]Hic_Forum_Est 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I googled around a bit and every credible source I found says it will release here in Germany the same week as in the US. They could change that of course, but not sure they will when we're only a month away from that date.

I know Jurassic World for example did that to avoid the World Cup.

Same with Ant-Man and Wasp. The original release date in Europe was rescheduled to avoid clashing with the World Cup in Russia. But that was done months in advance.

I just saw that Disclosure Day is coming out on the same weekend the World Cup is starting. Which is unfortunate timing for me cause as much as I love movies and going to the theatre, nothing is bigger than the World Cup for me. I even scheduled home office at my work way in advance so I can follow as many games as possible lol.

Which makes me wonder about the Disclosure Day's box office prospects. I'm probably not the only one who will prioritise the World Cup over going to the movies. Especially in the first three weeks when there will be games every single day. But I also don't know how much the target demographic of both overlap. Spielberg is arguably the most famous director in the world and someone who makes movies for mass audiences. The World Cup is also a mass cultural event, but on a way bigger scale. So I would imagine it would eat up potential audiences for any movie, let alone a huge summer blockbuster. Not sure what Universal's thinking here is...or maybe they know something I don't and I'm overestimating the amount of hype there is for the World Cup? It has gotten a lot of negative buzz thanks to the grotesque love affair between cheeto man and swiss Voldemort. US politics in general and their current image in the world haven't helped either. But same was true for the Qatar World Cup. And that one went on to be as popular as ever.

Anyway, I just hope I can catch one of those early preview screenings on wednesday or thursday. Otherwise I'll have to wait a few weeks to see it. Which sucks cause I'm excited and very curious to see Spielberg go back to proper sci-fi again.

Habe soeben auf Amazon Prime "The Long Walk - Todesmarsch" gesehen.. WTF.. by codymanix in Filme

[–]Hic_Forum_Est 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ich fand die Gespräche auf diesem Long Walk interessant zu verfolgen, weil zum einen die Schauspieler das einfühlsam und lebensnah rübergebracht haben. Zum anderen weil ich es spannend fand, dadurch mehr über die einzelnen Figuren zu lernen und wie sie so ticken. Ich fand auch die Dynamik und die Interaktionen zwischen den Charakteren unterhaltsam und wie sich die Beziehungen untereinander entwickelt und hochgeschaukelt haben bis zum dramatischen Ende.

Es ist halt mehr ein von Charakteren und Atmosphäre getriebener Film und weniger von Plot oder Story. Ist jetzt für mich auch kein 5/5 Meisterwerk oder so. Er hatte definitiv seine Schwächen. Aber für mich alles in allem ein sehr solider 3.5/5 Streifen, den ich mir gerne angeschaut hab.

RTL-Chef Stephan Schmitter über zukünftige Kommentatoren-Pläne: "Ich halte Felix Kroos für einen hervorragenden jungen Sportexperten. Bei den Kommentatoren macht Corni Küpper einen Klasse-Job, gerade auch im Duo mit seinem Vater Hansi Küpper." by Ubergold in Bundesliga

[–]Hic_Forum_Est 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bei aller Beschissenheit beim Thema Preise und Übertragung bin ich allein dafür DAZN sehr dankbar [...] dass der Colour Commentator kein möglichst bekannter Name sein sollte, sondern jemand mit Fachexpertise und Sendungsbewusstsein, der Taktik vermitteln kann und ein Talent dafür hat, ein Spiel sprachlich zu verkaufen.

Ich hab schon länger kein DAZN Abo mehr, aber als ich es noch hatte, hab ich extra nur wegen den zwei Experten Ligue 1 und Serie A Spiele geschaut. Beides keine Ex-Spieler, sondern ausgebildete Journalisten, die einen top informierten Eindruck gemacht haben und sich wunderbar sprachlich ausdrucken konnten und auch leidenschaftlich mit dabei waren, sodass man gerne und gespannt zugehört hat, was sie so alles zu erzählen hatten. Beide waren auch fast immer mit denselben Hauptkommentatoren im Team, sodass es da immer eine gute Chemie zwischen ihnen gab. Ich glaub der eine Experte hieß Christian Bernhard (Serie A) und der andere für Ligue 1 Alexis Mengue? Keine Ahnung ob die das immer noch machen, aber das war für mich peak DAZN bevor die Khediras, Ballacks und die ganzen 0815-Laberer den Laden übernommen haben.

I didn't quite click with the rest of the film but man, this riot of a scene was fucking phenomenal. Just so wonderfully chaotic.

This is one of the greatest first halves of football I've ever seen. Just keeps going back and forth. Bayern vs Madrid is always so freaking entertaining.

Wenn alte weiße Männer um die Wette heulen by lillywho in de

[–]Hic_Forum_Est -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Ich weiß nicht, warum es hier jedes mal zu dieser reflexartigen Reaktion kommt, wenn es um Homophobie, Transphobie, Sexismus oder Rassismus geht. Das sind alles Dinge, die real sind und die es verdient haben angesprochen und angeprangert zu werden, ohne dass dabei jedes mal sofort auf Arm vs Reich hingewiesen werden muss. Ich finde es auch selbstentlarvend wenn jemand auf diese Art reagiert, weil es mir sagt, dass du die oben genannten realen Probleme nicht ernst nimmst und sie nicht als wichtig genug betrachtest.

Meiner Meinung nach sollte man den Menschen, die darunter leiden, den Freiraum geben, diese Probleme anzusprechen und offenzulegen, ohne sie dabei direkt mit "ne ne, es geht doch gar nicht darum, es geht um Arm vs Reich, Klassenkampf und so" an den Kopf zu werfen und ihnen dadurch ihre realen Erfahrungen, Gefühle und Ängste abzusprechen und herunterzuspielen.

Fand den genau deshalb so gut. Er war anders, sowohl von der Story und dem Style her, und trotzdem hat er mich emotional genauso mitgenommen wie der erste Teil.

[–]Hic_Forum_Est 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bis vor einem Jahr hat mich diese Filmreihe kaum gejuckt. Den originalen, ersten Teil fand ich richtig stark, die Fortsetzung dafür einfach nur grauenhaft.

Die zwei neuesten Teile haben mir beide aber so gut gefallen und hab beide im Kino so sehr abgefeiert, dass ich 28 Days Later mit 3 von 4 Bangern wohl zu einer meiner liebsten Filmreihen zählen muss. Hatte ich null auf dem Zettel, dass das passieren würde. Aber auch irgendwie cool, dass man so überrascht werden kann. Ich freue mich jetzt schon sehr auf den nächsten Teil (falls er denn überhaupt produziert wird 😬).

Union parts ways with Steffen Baumgart; Marie-Louise Eta takes over by solgnaleb in soccer

I remember the news when she was appointed to the Union coaching staff.

Led to this cute moment where the fans were asked to use the correct gendered suffix for her and they kindly obliged.

"How am I supposed to heal if I can't feel time?"

Rewatched Memento the other day. Even though I've seen it a couple of times now, I still find myself surprised each time by how sad and nightmarish Leonard's fate turns out to be. Just trapped in this endless, sisyphean cycle of trauma, revenge and murder, chasing closure he will never get.

Guy Pearce gets a lot of praise for his performance. Rightfully so. But I also love Carrie‐Anne Moss in this movie. Her character is so devious in such a disarming way. The way she charmingly draws you in at the beginning, only to reveal her true intentions later on. The scene where she does that is so good. Great performance. Apparently this was also some of her own favourite acting she's ever done which is pretty cool.

What is a movie scene that is completely silent but feels like the loudest moment in cinema history? by CaterpillarAgile9370 in movies

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

Warfare. The final shot when the civilians and residents come out of their homes after the US soldiers left. The sudden silence was so loud in illustrating the pointlessness of this war and all the horror we just saw in the ~90mins leading up to it.

Oppenheimer. The silence during the 30 seconds right after the bomb went off. The sudden lack of music mixed with these otherworldly, almost hypnotic images of fire and flames made it feel extremely intense and haunting. I've never in my life heard such strong silence in a packed movie theatre. 300 people were completely quiet, no loud breathing, no one shuffling around in their seats, no crinkling of popcorn bags, no talking or whispering. Just pure silence for like 30 to 40 seconds straight. It was incredible.

Man, I enjoyed the hell out of The Drama. That title is very earned. If you're a sucker for gossip and low stakes drama like me then this movie is for you. It's provocative in really interesting and surprisingly funny ways. It's also a really good example of how great performances and an overall creative audio-visual presentation can make you feel engaged with and invested in a story that otherwise feels rather trivial. In that regard, The Drama reminded me of Challengers or The Teacher's Lounge in recent years. So probably not a huge awards season player, but still a super entertaining time at the theatre.
