Link is failing me.

I should have mentioned they are chinese films and will be subtitled but they are the source material essentially for The Departed.
-
If you like the Departed checkout the originals Infernal Affairs. I still like alot of The Departed and obviously the actors they pulled in are great but Infernal Affairs is just better in nearly every way. Theres also 3 installments, havnet seen the third but the second was also fantastic. Also I was just rewatching a bunch of zombie flicks recently and still the 28 days/weeks are the strongest for me.

I nearly forgot I picked up the Horizons Zero dawn edition with all the dlc as well around christmas time for 10$. Too many games not enough time man! Im excited for Ghosts though thats definitely next.
-
I wish I could simultaneously downvote you for half of this and upvote the other ' I plan on getting the Mass Effect LE but I think im going to wait a bit for the price drop, still have Ghosts of Tsushima to play and Ive been loving Reddead again for a second play through maybe even more then the first.

Jimmy Carr, absolutely savage

Speaking of some oldies. Point Break - 8.5/10 Hadnt watched in a good long while but still one of my favourites. Definitely still holds up today.

I dont think you understand my point. Yes trophies are what every team and every player and coach strives for, they are also however not a measure of success or failure for most clubs. Pep failed to win the champions league with us, by some that is considered a failure, overall id argue vigilantly against that. As I mentioned Kovac the guy was a disaster here and he wasnt fired simply because of our standings, thats completely disingenuous. Bayern's expectations and goals are obviously different then the rest of the bundesliga and they should be. If you're trying to measure up any future managers against Flick they will fall short, what he achieved was near perfection and its not sustainable (even compare season 1 to season 2) nor a realistic expectation.
-
Trophies aren't the end all be all. You seem to like Kovac use his tenure as a measuring stick then; on paper he was successful here, he won a title he won trophies. Every other way he was an unmitigated disaster and our squads individual talent won what they won. He was completely out of his depths. Dortmund's been on quite a run and has the superior squad I don't think anyone would debate that. Give the guy a chance, it's not guaranteed to work but writing him off already is kind of ridiculous. Well see what he can do with our squad I'm intrigued.

I've never played any mass effect games what's the verdict? Their just releasing the legendary version remastered with all three games and dlc content. Could be a good time to buy.

Being sick has its perks im just about done raised by wolves, 2 was left. Pretty interesting so far i like alot of what they've built for a world and a story. Hopefully there's more seasons to come.

Alaba's turn, sad how it all ended but undoubtedly a club legend. The interview with David Alaba David, your time at FC Bayern is drawing to a close after 13 years – how does that feel? "There’s still a bit of time before I go, and I can’t fully take it in at the moment. But to be honest, there are days where I catch myself looking back at this special time here at FC Bayern. It’s just been fantastic over the years." Do you know what you will miss most? "The dressing room and my teammates, the fans in the stadium, the atmosphere at Säbener Straße where I spent two years in the youth accommodation at the beginning. I’ll also miss the city of Munich where I’ve lived for 13 years and which has become much more than a second home for me. My son was born in Munich, his grandparents live here, so there will always be a close connection." Apart from your ability on the pitch, the others will also miss your Viennese chat. Who really understood you? Or was Thomas Müller the only one? "(laughs) No, not at all. In the end, there were more and more who understood me. Even Jérôme [Boateng] understands me now, so I don't have to repeat myself twice. And my ‘Bist du deppert!’ [you must be daft] is in the vocabulary of all the overseas players. Leon [Goretzka] recently said to me that he really finds it difficult every time I come back from the Austria team. Then I need a couple of days to acclimatise." You mentioned staying in the youth accommodation at first. What does FC Bayern mean to you after all these years? "I came here as a 16-year-old from Vienna and now we’re looking back at almost half my life, 13 years later. That really says it all. The club is my family, my home, my special place." Will there be any tears when you go? "I can’t say whether you’ll see me cry but I definitely will inwardly. I had to battle with my emotions recently when we had our last big photo shoot at the Allianz Arena. I’m incredibly grateful for the support from our fans over all the years. I’ve always had the feeling of having a special connection to them. One time at Frankfurt, a fan called me over to the fence, and after that we had eye contact at least after every game. I could always imagine myself in the South Stand because I stood there a couple of times when I was a teenager. It’s funny how it’s all turned out. I was a ball boy and, before games in the Champions League, also one of the boys who made waves with the round flag in the centre circle when the stars came out. And then, I was a player on the pitch." Is there something you want to say to the fans before you leave? "Yes, it’s very simple: thank you for everything! I’ll never forget this relationship and it will always be in my heart." If you look back at 16-year-old David, what was the young lad in Munich like back then? "(grins) Definitely a little rascal. But also a lad who never gave up believing in his big dreams and I definitely wanted to make it. The view from my room looked out onto the first-team pitch. I watched the training sessions through my window every day and I decided to do everything I could to make my dream come true." Bayern fans are devastated that you’re leaving. Be honest, don’t you feel the same? "Yes, of course. It’s always difficult when something comes to an end and it’s no secret that I’ve always really felt at home here. Obviously, I’m leaving FC Bayern with a tear in my eye but also looking forward to my future at the same time. It wasn’t a decision against the club, but I decided I’d like to do something new and take another step forward. To grow, you have to leave your 'comfort zone' – and I deliberately put that word in quotation marks because it could possibly be misunderstood. At FC Bayern, the expectations on the pitch are always extreme from the management, in the dressing room or from yourself. I think that perhaps you have to go into the unknown to be able to mature again." What’s your wish for FC Bayern? "Only the very best. This club will always be in my heart. I’m incredibly grateful. I wish FC Bayern carry on writing a great success story. And to be honest, I have no worries about this club there."

Been watching Mare of Easttown, anyone else checked this out? small town murder mystery kinda deal. Kate Winslet is really good so far also love me some Evan Peters. Decent enough watch so far, only 3 episodes out atm.
-
Javi Martinez making an official statement on leaving at the end of the season. Another legend, we dont win in 2013 without him. Only Neuer and Müller will remain from that team if memory serves.

Cheers, thanks alot @RandoEFC always fun to take part in. -
Ford V Ferrari - 9/10 I dont know why I took so long to watch this but man what a fantastic movie. Christian Bale never ceases to amaze. Im convinced the guy can play any role and be convincing. I knew some of the backstory going into this but not a tonne, I imagine theres some creative liberties taken but overall top notch movie. exceeded all of my expectations going in.

Kristho's Schland! - Off Topic
Viva la FCB replied to Tommy's topic in German Football Forum - Bundesliga
Take Tommy's example; thats not really something I would give a flying fuck about filming or handing to the police. Thats something that enrages me watching people stand by and do nothing but whip out their camera phones for. If one person stands up to him I would bet more people would think about standing up too. You are right in some cases for sure having things on film help but when thats the first reaction of seemingly nearly everyone these days it drives me nuts. -

Its all too common these days. People would rather get out their phones and record things instead of getting involved. I hate people. -

Viva la FCB replied to Faithcore's topic in International Competitions
Who would have Nubel in this squad Leno's had a pretty solid year for Arsenal to by all accounts. Neuer made a mistake against PSG does that mean hes no longer first choice too? ridiculous. -
I actually just watched this thats the Elisa Lam one right? She went to UBC here so I had vaguely heard the story back then but it was an interesting and certainly eerie watch.
-
Yeah it really shifts into gear and goes full throttle from there. Tom Cruz at his absolute best imo.
-
Really impressed with his emergence this season. Obviously put in a shift against Wolfsburg but he was excellent against Leverkussen as well even without the goals to show. Also news that we are close to an agreement with Choups Magoops for another 1 year deal, likely announced in May. By all accounts hes been a great deputy to Lewy, cant really ask for anymore.
