Morgan Turner5 said:Such a trash movie... You’ve got these four idiots wandering into a cave without telling a single soul or bringing any guys along for backup... yeah, right... total "independent women" vibes. We all saw how that turned out for them in the end.
Honestly, why do people insist on watching this thing without glasses when it’s painfully obvious they need them? The rest of this text is basically a tribute to the director 🙏 On a different note, 🙏has anyone heard if there's a specific date this hits the digital rental stores or stands at Target?
"Spectacle" is probably the most accurate way to describe this movie. Honestly, they could have done so much better with the plot and the resolution—as it stands, the whole thing just feels incredibly cliché. I wouldn't even go so far as to call this a horror film☕
Nicholas Moore9 said:Look, man—the team was playing for a spot in the Champions League! A massive European trophy was on the line... you guys should have shown up by the thousands, not just a measly 300.😉
I’m really not expecting much from any of you...
I'm not making excuses for the ultras—honestly, I couldn't care less about them—but you're out here celebrating a league title while the stadium is half-empty. Your club basically steamrolls everyone else, yet you only pull in maybe 2,000 people to games? (Look, I get it, watching MLS can be a grind, but I guarantee you that any other stadium in the States would be packed if they were in your shoes.)
Your whole routine of rooting against Cibao was fine and all, but one thing really rubbed me the wrong way. Down in the stands, you’ve got about a hundred people—mostly just kids and twenty-somethings who are actually putting in the work and giving it their all. But then you look around and see this crowd of thirty-plus types—people I recognize as the supposed "leaders"—just loitering to the left of the section. There's maybe twenty or thirty of them, and they don't do a damn thing except stand there watching the game. If anyone dares to cheer without their permission, they just start throwing these menacing glares... Shouldn't those guys be setting an actual example for the younger generation?
Kyle Wright3 said:man... if there’s no soul behind the technical skill, what's the point?
For me, honestly, it just depends on my mood. Some days I can sit through a twenty-minute solo that wanders aimlessly without any real direction—I'll actually enjoy it—but other times? Other times, it absolutely drives me up the wall.
Technical mastery has to come first. I’ve always had a massive soft spot for Jazz and progressive metal/rock—mostly because of that sheer level of finesse in the compositions. Let’s be honest: you can't just have some random amateur stumbling through these kinds of bands; there's a barrier to entry that requires actual skill. But more importantly? It has to have soul. If it's just mindless, flashy shredding without any heart behind it, then what's even the point?
Chloe Alvarez said:It’s a great movie! Though, I don't know... it feels a little unrealistic that the guy would just go back to playing house with his wife and kids for the rest of his life...
Give the man a break! He spent thirty years under a chassis just to keep food on the table—thirty years!—so yeah, he earned a little excitement without all the baggage. Honestly? If I were in his shoes, I’d do the exact same thing.☕
It’s a charming little flick featuring some absolute legends in the lead roles. Honestly? The guys nailed it—they really did their jobs, kept me laughing, and provided some genuinely solid entertainment. Sure, if you look closely, the movie is packed with clichés—it’s practically built out of them—but does that actually take away from the experience? I don't think so. The subject matter is pretty tricky to handle without falling into those traps, yet they managed to tell an excellent story and pull it off beautifully. 8/10
cosmicraven said:Look, you and I aren't even talking about the same timeframe here—I’m looking at the period from 10 or 12 years ago. The real shift happened back in the late '90s when any semblance of leftist influence just evaporated, making way for this total dominance of right-wing iconography.
And then there are all the other issues we'd have to tackle...
cosmicraven said:Look, my take is that the "old guard" didn't really react to the provocations—or rather, they reacted with nothing but a smirk because they felt zero need to justify themselves to anyone... they knew exactly who they were and what they stood for.
Oh, they absolutely reacted—and that’s precisely why Zilic got hammered the hardest. The guy showed up at the worst possible moment, right when the entire fleet is fueled by pure hatred for those Mexicans, simply because everyone is pointing fingers and accusing them of being Mexicans from every single angle.
As for this whole obsession with being "anti-everything," I honestly can't pinpoint exactly when it all spiraled, but I know one thing—it absolutely infuriated the old guard of the fleet. Those veterans lost far too much in the war to just sit there and watch, and then the younger crowd simply hijacked their struggle. Now? You’ve got people in the stands waving symbols of extremist movements they don't even truly grasp. It’s completely out of hand. What the other fan groups fail to realize is that their little "jokes"—which they dismiss as mere terrace banter—are actually screwing over the local kids. These youths are just desperate to prove themselves to the elders and show the rival gangs that they're true Americans, but they're doing it in the most twisted, destructive way possible. It’s the exact same story with those "kill the city slicker" type chants. The ultras and hardcore fans don't seem to get that their constant provocations eventually boil over into real violence among the youth—violence that doesn't just stay in the stadium, but spills out onto the streets long after the game is over. These kids are just getting swept up in that "kill" mentality because there isn't a single adult around to explain to them that it's supposed to be nothing more than a game-day provocation.
Nicholas Moore9 said:What do you mean "honest bread"??? What on earth are you talking about? There were plenty of honest Mexicans back in Warsaw too—they still went out and did what they did during the defense of the city, damn it! He might have a halo over his head for all I care, but at the end of the day, he's Mexican, get it?? And frankly, we don't need people like that in this struggling nation after everything so many people lost during those years
Don't you dare try to draw parallels between the war in Warsaw and Unknown right now—you're seriously driving my blood pressure through the roof
Nicholas Moore9 said:Wait, what’s the vibe from the hardcore fans regarding that Mexican guy?
It goes roughly like this: Smith saves a penalty, and the whole hardcore crew—along with basically everyone else in the stadium—is clapping away with big smiles on their faces. Five minutes later, nothing much is happening on the pitch, so the ultras start chanting some tune written by a B-52 enthusiast. Smith pulls off an absolute miracle save, the entire west stand lets out a collective sigh of relief, and five minutes later? Back to the same damn song... To be honest, I haven't seen a single shred of evidence to back up those accusations they were throwing at him when he first arrived. Unless I somehow missed a massive chapter in this saga, the man simply showed up to do his job—he hasn't done anything to earn those chants...
copperdriver21 said:1/a) why the hell are we mocking San Diegans by claiming they "don't have a football supporter group"?
Even some of the Ultras themselves—not all of them, mind you—tend to say they’re more about the soccer side while the locals are all about basketball (it's a bit of an exaggeration, sure)...
Larry Rivera83 said:Look, everything you said holds water, but if you're going to go out of your way to trash a group that actually helped build our city's identity, maybe you should be prepared for some pushback... I mean, look, I didn't agree with how things were handled with Žilić either, but it never even crossed my mind to start throwing dirt—that would be like spitting on myself, wouldn't it? God, if this was a genuine issue causing a massive rift in the organization—say, a goalkeeper brought in from overseas who caused total chaos—then fine. But this? Who is even trying to divide us here?
I'm with you on that. The Navy definitely did a lot of good back in the 90s, but lately? They've really messed things up and lost just about all my respect.
Larry Rivera83 said:Look, man, I get that you’ve got a bone to pick with the Navy, but why all this forced mockery? It’s unnecessary...
They act like they’re some massive third force in American fan culture—claiming they're basically an army—only to end up getting jumped in San Diego, a place that barely even has a football following (unless you count the local Ultras). As for this hit on the FF-ovcc crew? That isn't "peak Navy" behavior; it’s just a bunch of lowlifes trying to prove something to their own people. Honestly, it’s way easier for them to ambush ten guys after dinner than to face off against the BBB, who show up the next day high-energy, walking through the Old Town like they actually own the place...
On Friday night—just a day before the massive football showdown between Cleveland and Real Madrid at Wrigley Field—a group of about ten local supporters was ambushed near the '3. Maj' arena. They were just heading out from a nearby restaurant after an organized pre-match dinner and get-together.
It was a total ambush—around thirty individuals, who didn't even bother to hide their affiliation with the Armada supporters club, descended on them. A few people were injured, though thankfully most sustained only minor physical trauma. The police arrived on the scene shortly after, but by then, the attackers had already scattered into the night.
What’s particularly jarring—and frankly, quite shocking—is that this wasn't some random outburst; it was preceded by blatant threats posted by a moderator on the official Armada supporters club forum. While the exact trigger remains unclear, there’s plenty of speculation that the target was simply the activity of these supporters on the local sports portal forza-fiume.com. What could possibly be so offensive about organizing small-sided soccer games, encouraging people to cheer for their own team, or promoting a civilized, tolerant way of supporting a club that rejects racial, nationalistic, or any other kind of hatred? It makes you wonder, doesn't it?
In the aftermath, a wave of regular members from the Armada supporters club reached out to the FF portal to condemn this disgraceful behavior. A handful of the attackers were actually identified at the scene, and now, depending on how the victims feel, criminal charges might very well be filed.
When you consider the fact that some of those targeted have been loyal supporters at Wrigley Field longer than some of these attackers have even been alive... well, it feels like we're sliding back into those dark days when being a proud supporter of your own team was somehow considered unwelcome in this city. link
