Agree with you on the pre-OT stories. Filoni did a masterful job telling compelling and varied stories. That's why I enjoyed Clone Wars so much. Rex, Ahsoka, Ventress, and others were given as much narrative attention as established characters like Kenobi. I don't know if he would be as successful with the latest trilogy. That trilogy was a damn mess with no clear vision or narrative flushed out. It was a Disney, rush to market, money grab, operation. With his other work, he had the benefit of questioning Lucas on what George meant to do and what he was trying to say in the prequels. It allowed him to expound and bring more weight to material that had been poorly executed by Lucas. If he were to quiz Abrams or Johnson, I don't know what they would say to him. He tried working with the gaps in the latest trilogy with Star Wars: Resistance. It was not good. In part, because the world building in the latest trilogy sucked. All that to say, I trust Filoni.

Agree with this. The overall story with all of the original films coming together, is an interesting story. Predestination paradox and alternate history/universe. The reboots have been really good. The one with Woody Harrelson was great.

Betancur with a nice header pass!

Porro!!!!

Mickey!

Fair. I thought the overall story was better in TUS, but I also think Chinatown had some great film noire lines in the movie. One of my favorites is when Huston's character asks Nicholson if he is sleeping with his daughter and Jake responds with "if you want an answer to that question, Mr. Cross, I'll put one of my men on the job".

Jesus that was all kinds of bad.

I'll take it.

COYS!!!!

The Usual Suspects also won an Oscar for Best Screenplay. Made a star out of Spacey. It's likely LA Confidential doesn't have Spacey in the cast without his Oscar performance in The Usual Suspects. Don't get me wrong, love all three films. This is film making at its best. I just give the edge to TUS. The one thing both LAC and Chinatown have over TUS is setting. Those time periods in LA are perfect for the genre.

Good movie, far from the best script of all time. Not even the best in its genre, I'd say The Usual Suspects is a far better script. Just my opinion though. Nicholson was great, as was John Huston.

Between April 28th and May 5th, we play Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool. The last two on the road. FA Cup did us no favors.

I hate these April mid-week matches. Everyone is fatigued from a long season, travel from international breaks, and the weather is usually shitty in England.

I think we need help defending set pieces.

COYS, missed the first 12 minutes due to this life interrupting activity called "work".

Brennan Johnson has been a difference maker, Man of the Match for me.

Nice job there by Son and Werner!

That was in as the Luton guy kicked it!

I'll take it.

Very low-T first half.

Jesus Christ what a sequence

Goddamnit Werner!

COYS!!! Fuck! That's on Kulu for a shit pass.

It's been bad there for awhile now. I quit going. I did visit Ribbee's on Friday, and it was outstanding. I didn't think I'd get enough for $20, but it was plenty. Ribs were huge and more than enough fries. Roll was outstanding too.

I'd say Ange is sending a message by replacing the entire midfield.
