Perhaps Matthaus and Baresi.

Oh wow. Right. Right!! That's a true mark of consistent success. I wonder how many players made the 1980-1990 and the 85-95 lists in your work.

Definitely. I would agree too. And thanks for your response.

To that end, I feel Modric might be the second greatest player of the last twenty years behind Messi.

I'd be really interested to know how you look at Cristiano Ronaldo, considering the teams he left continued to win things, especially Real Madrid, with more or less the same squad. To see how one abstract's an individual performance from a team's showing would be interesting.

I also take this opportunity to tag @jonbois.bsky.social, whose work has been essential to this essay.

Really really thankful to Animus Magazine and Elena Lazic for this opportunity and for the many suggestions which have made the piece it is.

Oh wow. Don't know what to make of this statement but it sounds like Edward Norton's character from FIGHT CLUB.

Saw Highest 2 Lowest, and if I were to compare it with the original, it's nowhere close. Kurosawa's film is all about ethical dilemmas. Spoke Lee's version is about choices made for the social media audience. Even as a standalone film it doesn't work. A$AP Rocky's "Both Eyes Closed" is great though.

Funny that no media in the UK are sharing news about excess deaths in Spain as a result of heat

Real talk (reel talk?):

BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.

A breathless read reflecting our breathless times. Had a lot of fun!!

Be Scientific, Douchebag On the last 30 years of climate change cinema by John Kidwell still: Mark Whalberg looking bewildered by a green plant in M. Night Shyamalan's THE HAPPENING (2008)

After a long hiatus… Animus long-form essays are back!

John Kidwell writes about cinema’s response to the unfolding climate crisis over the last 30 years: animus-magazine.ghost.io/be-scientifi...

🚨 🚨 🚨

A film about CMS systems and online rage-baiting, a nerdy tech-bro troll of a film, a film for Elon-types who don’t have any sense for the inspiring grandeur or grace of Superman, of humanity, of John Williams’ theme, or—if I may—of cinema itself.

New SUPERMAN is garbage for babies. Squandering the rich Superman mythology to instead show fighting, large-scale destruction, and idiotic multiverse shit like your usual MARVEL crap.

Elisa De Almeida. What a player..just played one of the best balls I've seen live.

Can’t take it with you I am in hospice care and reflecting a lot on what a good life is.

helendecruz.substack.com/p/cant-take-... such a touching article by @helendecruz.net. Devastating news about her health and am so very thankful for her positivity and philosophy. And for her music among other things.

Another friend was falling under the spell of fascist YouTubers - the only thing that broke that spell was showing him how much his rants were hurting the people who he loved and trusted. He was lonely, isolated, hooked on YouTube. What brought him back wasn't clever debate, it was human company.

It's always great to read an intricate and scathing critique.

Oh woww. The trailer was quite cringe. Enjoyed reading the review!

Enjoyed reading this review so much! And it's compelled me to try watching BEAU IS AFRAID again.

The 50 Best Club Teams of the Last 100 Years

Before I get into my list of the best 50 club teams of the last 100 years, I wanted to lay out some of the criteria behind it.
