Who would have thought they'd actually be coming to Chicago! It's looking pretty likely that people will make the trip. 😍 $40 Honestly, there isn't all that much to give for them.

I’m a big fan of his work—especially Machete—but I just can't bring myself to enjoy Spy Kids. 🙂

I’m honestly surprised this thread hasn't seen more activity lately. I just finished watching the movie, and I have to say, it was actually pretty solid. I was pleasantly surprised, especially considering how quickly they put this remake together. The lead actors really stepped up and did a great job with their roles.

I’m definitely on the same page—the older parodies just hit differently. That being said, I have to admit that Scary Movie 1 & 2 were actually pretty decent; there were plenty of scenes that genuinely cracked me up. Anything released after that, though? Absolute garbage. I’ve tried sitting through things like Scary Movie 3 ..., Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, and all those other mindless sequels, but I usually give up after about 15 or 20 minutes.

Honestly, Vampires Suck was still decent compared to the absolute train wrecks we've been getting lately (like Epic or those disaster movies, etc.)

To me, this looks like it'll be right up there with those.

Bradley Wilson11 said:No offense intended... but it's garbage.

My advice? Just stay away from Biotech for just about everything. ☕

Alright, thanks for the heads up!

I just wanted to get your take on this:

What are your thoughts on this?

nimblemarlin6 said:So, I just sat through Ridley Scott's Robin Hood.
Honestly, it’s easily one of the absolute worst movies I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised—I don't exactly expect much more than this from Scott's new Alien.

Is it actually worse than Troll 2? ☕

Donna Thompson19 said:Obama ordered them to switch to a red background instead of blue. Honestly, I think any sane person can see exactly why he did that. 👎

🙏

Keith Perez62 said:So, where can I actually track down those items from China?

It wasn't actually about the jerseys. I'm pretty sure they were shipping them via train through Russia, so it ended up taking three whole months to arrive. 🤣

Oof, those shipping costs are a bit much. When I used to order stuff from China, the shipping was practically pennies. I bet there's some similar trick with Thailand, too. This is just way too expensive for something like this. 😲

mellowowl38 said:I didn't actually buy it myself, but a buddy from work is heading over to Eindhoven next week, so I told him to grab one for me. He’s a massive LA Galaxy fan, so he definitely won't mind doing me a solid. 😁 I haven't got a clue about the exact price, but I'm guessing it's probably less than $167 in USD.
Honestly though, they're totally missing a huge business opportunity here. If they had just shipped 500 units to Washington, D.C., they would've been sold out in like two months tops. I mean, come on—it's a gorgeous jersey, and that mix of the checkerboard pattern and black is exactly what fans have been begging for forever.

I think I'll shoot them an email and pitch the idea. 😬

Anyway, does anyone know where I can order high-quality replicas from Thailand? Word on the street is that those are the best ones out there. 🤣

mellowowl38 said:It’s actually pretty decent. I’ll probably drop a photo once my next one finally arrives from overseas... just another piece of gear from the Black Legion LA Galaxy 😁

How much did you end up paying for it, and which site did you use to grab it? 🙂

Has anyone happened to spot this jersey around Washington, D.C.?

LA Galaxy away kit

Brenda Cook2 said:Hey Ozzy, I called Cisalf and the guy tells me they only have it in a size Large! Assuming he actually understood which jersey I was talking about...🤷 I asked about the Inter Milan white one with the cross on the chest and he goes, "The away kit? We only have Large." He probably realized I wasn't just asking about the basic white away version. And the price... $83

That sounds like a plan! I definitely need to carve out some time soon to make the trip over there. By any chance, do you know if there's a Cisalf located anywhere else in the city besides the King Cross mall?

mellowowl38 said:$250 for a legit Nike jersey right now? Yeah, good luck with that. Last time I actually shelled out for one (I think it was that 2007 Boston Celtics anniversary kit), Nike was all about $150...

Maybe it’s the one from last year. 🤷

Joseph Brooks10 said:Maybe try checking out Cisalf over near King Cross... I think they have a decent selection of Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan gear, plus some Italian national team stuff and training kits. Might be worth a shot if you're looking for jerseys or shirts.

Do you have any other suggestions, maybe somewhere closer to downtown? I'm not sure when I'll actually make it over toward King Cross...

Brenda Cook2 said:Good luck hunting! Let me know if you find anything!🙏

Arghhh, I actually headed out there today and honestly, it’s just not there. 😢

Brenda Cook2 said:So I just called them up and my aunt basically told me over the phone, "Forget it, you aren't finding that jersey anywhere!" Talk about immediate discouragement...😁

I’m still holding out hope—maybe she just missed it. I'm heading out tomorrow with an optimistic mindset to track it down! 😁

Does anyone else have some good suggestions for shops I should check out? I'd love to put together a little itinerary so I can hit them all in one go. 😉

mellowowl38 said:Since this is such an old jersey—it debuted back in 2008 and they don't make it anymore—finding it is going to get even harder as time goes on. It's basically becoming a unicorn.

So, why haven't they worn it at all this season? 😕

Does anyone know where I can pick up this jersey in New York City? I've been scouring eBay, but I haven't seen anyone listing it yet. 🤷

goldenhound32 said:Hah... I suppose you missed my point entirely. It’s not that I harbor any hatred toward Jewish people... it’s just this endless cycle of Holocaust films being churned out. It feels like every single year, maybe even more often than that—though I can't say for certain since they aren't exactly household names—we get hit with another one.

And honestly, as soon as a movie tackles the Holocaust, you already know it's going to be chasing an Oscar. That’s been the standard playbook for the last 10-15 years.
