I can't pick just one from our side, even though I really admired what Pokupković did with Osijek back in the day before he moved on and eventually got fired because he thought Hajduk would call him to coach...
As for foreign managers, Martin O'Neill, Pierre Le Guen, and Rafael Benítez—and that last one isn't even subjective because of Liverpool. I loved what he achieved at Valencia, and I hope he does something similar with Liverpool too. If I think of anyone else, I'll let you know.
I just can't get into these movies, period. Look, they look amazing—the cinematography is stunning and a total feast for the eyes—but the actual plot? It loses me. To me, those classic Hong Kong films had much stronger storytelling. A teacher gets killed, the student goes on a mission, and that’s it. Simple, but engaging. With these newer ones, nothing really happens. They just travel around, fight, kiss, and then die. I don't know... it's just not my thing.
Caught a sneak preview of this at AMC Theatres yesterday. It’s a semi-horror starring De Niro and Dakota Fanning. The plot goes something like this... De Niro’s wife takes her own life, and their daughter is struggling to cope. To help them both move on, De Niro decides to leave New York City for some quiet little town, thinking a change of scenery is exactly what they need. Boy, was he wrong!! Weird stuff starts happening. Little Dakota tries to convince her dad that these creepy occurrences aren't her doing—as Robert suspects—but are actually caused by her friend Charlie. Since he's a psychologist, he picks up on those vibes and is convinced she just made Charlie up. I'll stop there, otherwise I'd be spoiling half the movie, and nobody wants that.
All in all, it's a decent watch if you like being a bit spooked, though the ending could have landed a little harder...
Bringing this thread back to life... Just finally sat down to watch the movie. It's one of those films where you honestly can't call it bad. Jamie Foxx absolutely nailed the role of Ray... he was incredible. My only real gripe is that certain parts felt a bit dragged out, but that doesn't take away from the overall quality at all. That's about it.
The lighting in The X-Files and C.S.I. always bugs me. It seems like they constantly rely on flashlights whenever they enter a crime scene. I mean, if someone has passed away, does that automatically mean the power was cut too? Does some other light source besides a flashlight actually destroy key evidence?

Your friend has it wrong. I was there on the second night, and Cave actually insisted people stay seated, though obviously nobody listened. He even hinted he might stop playing if people didn't head back to their spots. But nobody really gave him any respect...

Why?
ironcrane7 said:Because Anderson didn't write the script alone this time, the dialogue feels slightly less awkward and more polished. Still, I feel like his directing style is one of his flaws...
He hasn't written a single film entirely by himself. Owen Wilson has been co-writing everything with him up to this point. As for the acting direction, that's just his trademark. That's how they act in all his films. It's his specific style... 😁
Does anyone remember how much tickets cost when they first played in Washington, D.C.? Wasn't the price pretty much the same back then? Or am I just losing my mind...
Man, I’ve been counting down the days for this one. I was actually sweating with anticipation, and it definitely paid off. It’s classic Wes Anderson. Just regular people caught up in these totally absurd situations. Bill Murray is incredible. And you haven't seen Willem Dafoe like this before. All in all, a great movie, right up there with Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. I know that sounds biased, and it is... I just love Wes Anderson, I can't help it. I won't bore you with the plot, nobody cares about that, here's the link. My only gripe is with AMC Theatres. The latest showtime they have for this film is 7:40 PM. What were they thinking? Like it's some kid's movie or something?

When I watched it, there was a Japanese family sitting nearby. They walked out halfway through once they realized the movie wouldn't make sense without simple subtitles popping up every two seconds. 😁
It’s good. It feels... almost like a version of Deliverance but with kids involved. 😁 Someone brought up Bully, which honestly makes this film look like absolute garbage by comparison.
The last stupid thing that happened was when eight of my friends and I piled into a taxi and let some guy drive us around town. We pulled up to my apartment building, and there was this band riding in the elevator with us. I told them they were just going to the second floor, so they hopped out. The nine of us got back in the cab, but then the driver starts pulling over on random highway on-ramps to drop people off one by one. I was the last one left, and he finally dropped me at my place right as I realized I had no way to pay him. I asked if he took cards, and the guy said yeah. He swipes the card through a handheld reader 😕 and calls some dispatch center on his cell. I woke up in a total panic.
The year is off to a strong start. It’s a great movie, though I’m sure some will find it boring or think it's overrated...
Two friends head out on a week-long trip through wine country in California. One is getting married, so this is essentially a bachelor party. The plan is to hit as many wineries as possible, drink plenty of wine, and play some golf. His fiancé isn't exactly thrilled about the itinerary. He'd rather be sleeping with someone else. They meet some women and things just unfold from there...
Giamatti is fantastic. My only worry is if he gets stuck playing losers for the rest of his career. Thomas Haden Church is up for an Oscar for this role. Virginia Madsen and Sandra Oh are also excellent.

I was halfway there myself. The soccer was always there, but the mustache just wouldn't grow to the thickness I wanted. Sigh... the soccer stayed, but even that feels a bit lacking now.
