@Robtoofrost No one researches. Talia is the better player currently.

@flip_it1908 Do your research. Talia Gibson is the better player right now. She literally just made a run to the QF of Indian Wells.

@KingOp0o_o Do your research first. Talia Gibson is the better player currently despite rankings

@lucyshow11 They made a documentary about him. They had to change the way the game is played because of him

Certain folk will tell you 'be positive', 'stop with the negativity', 'back the lads' and 'be a proper Fan'.
This is utter garbage week in, week out.
As a fan, I'm hurting, I'm dreading each game and I'm not enjoying watching my club. This. Is. Crap.

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real.
The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later.
Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him.
Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman.
Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact.
95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

@AwkwardBde @sokyu_5 @RealEmirHan Hey dip fuck you realize they film scenes out of order and then splice them together in the editing room right? This scene could have been filmed first shot day one in which he would think it was Pepper and Tony’s wedding.
English

@sokyu_5 @RealEmirHan Also, he’s in the scene when Tony died. He knew Tony was dead. It’s a lie. The whole, “Tom spoils things all the time” stuff is a lie. It’s a marketing strategy.

@unsurprisedbyit @agentpeterscea @RealEmirHan Ver fucking weird you’re defending a literal pedophile

@agentpeterscea @RealEmirHan …pretty sure he beat every single charge/case and was financially ruined as a result.
Have proof of guilt?

Fuck @AlanPaceBFC. Fuck Scott Parker. Fuck @premierleague fuck Chris kavanaugh.
You want to call us toddlers @AlanPaceBFC I’ll show you a fucking tantrum. You are the absolute worst owner in the entirety of all of football. You have no clue how to actually run a club but your hubris and inflated ego will never let you admit you’re out of your depth. You don’t actually care about anything but lining your morally corrupt pockets with more money and as long as that’s happening we, the true heart and soul of this club, will continue to call you and all your fucking self centered actions out. From the deepest parts of my heart I say this fuck you and sell this team you Mormon piece of shit. #burnleyfc #utc #twitterclarets
