Freerepublic: As a Greek-American, I went to see The Odyssey three weeks ago with eager anticipation. At the time, the Rotten Tomatoes scores had dropped into the 60s—significantly down from the high 90s where they started. I ended up walking out after 90 minutes. Two other couples had already bailed around the one-hour mark. Only one guy remained sitting up in high right corner of the theater. It was clearly the worst movie I have ever seen, and after 70 years of watching movies, that says a lot. My brother, who still lives in Chicago where we grew up, saw it the day before. He leans left but is a sharp, reliable judge of cinema. He thought it was downright terrible, but to his credit, he didn't say a word about it until I’d seen it for myself. I was furious and deeply disappointed. I felt like I was eight years old again and someone had just stolen my bike. I was so moved to speak out that I sat down and took the time to write a thoughtful, honest review for Rotten Tomatoes, giving it a well-deserved 1 star. I posted my piece here, too, and almost everyone in the thread agreed with me. Anyone reading my review would know I’d actually watched the film—I pointed out that the classic Sinbad the Sailor movies of my youth were far better than this snoozefest. In closing, I wrote that if I’m ever on my deathbed with only a few hours left to live, I’m going to pray to God to give me back the time I wasted on The Odyssey, including the drive to and from the theater. Now, to get to the point: the RT scores have somehow bounced right back up to the mid-90s. I went back to read the recent reviews, and they’re almost entirely one-sentence, 5-star fluff posts. And guess what? My detailed review was completely scrubbed. Has this happened to anyone else?

Ajax laat thuis twee dure punten liggen tegen sc Heerenveen en Feyenoord deed vanmiddag hetzelfde, tegen Go Ahead Eagles. PSV, Ajax en Feyenoord dus weer gelijk: alle drie op 4 punten na 2 speelronden. De schade die PSV vorige week opliep, is alweer ongedaan gemaakt. #Eredivisie #Ajax #Feyenoord
A coletiva do Gabriel de Alba na próxima semana será importante para sabermos como será a gestão do futebol daqui pra frente. O trabalho do social precisa ser o de fiscalização da SAF, o que não foi feito de forma correta na era Textor, pelo contrário, deram carta branca para o mesmo, deixaram colocar até o clube como garantia em empréstimos surreais, chegando ao ponto de acionarem essa cláusula e o clube ir para as mãos da Ares. O trabalho do João Paulo até o presente momento está sendo excelente no sentido de defender o Botafogo após o clube afundar em dívidas, transferbans e perda da credibilidade por causa da briga societária da Eagle. Porém, não é o social que deve decidir o Jair Ventura ou qualquer outro nome. Esse é o trabalho do Brunno Noce, Deive Bandeira e Leo Coelho, com supervisão do Iglesias e Alba. Alba, assim como Textor, pode querer escolher, é o dono e investidor do clube. O social não pode escolher, voltaríamos a um período que acabou em 2021. Minha opinião! . #medeiros #Botafogo #Futebol #Gestão

Tesat do kamene.👍👍👏👏 "VY JSTE TI, KDO ZAČALI ROZDĚLOVAT SPOLEČNOST: Naše generace byla tolerantní. A nevěděla o tom. Vymysleli jste fluidní pohlaví a následně i homofobii. Pocházím z generace, která poslouchala a milovala Davida Bowieho a Lou Reeda a nikdy nepochybovala o jejich sexuálních preferencích. Nezáleželo na tom, ve skutečnosti byli šťastní a v některých případech požehnaní. Elton John, Freddie Mercury, George Michael. Jsme také generace, která milovala Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Neila Younga, Eagles.... Aniž bychom zpochybňovali texty, které by dnes byly hodnoceny jako sexistické. Když přišel Boy George, neptali jsme se, jestli se líbí mužům, ženám nebo oběma. Prostě se nám líbila jeho hudba, a když nám Jimmy Somerville vyprávěl svůj příběh maloměstského chlapce, dojalo nás to a zpívali jsme si s ním. Neexistovaly žádné zákony, které by nás nutily, abychom ho podporovali nebo se alespoň zapojili. Neexistovaly žádné výhružné komise ani bdělí strážci, kteří by nás cenzurovali, kdyby jsme prohodili nějaký vtip. Byla tu Alyson Moyet, v té době jednoznačně nadměrné velikosti, ale krásná a velmi dobrá, a nikdo si nemyslel, že by stála za míň než Claudia Schiffer... Ba naopak. Podle mého názoru jsme bez vnucování byli mnohem dál, protože vnucování, jak víte, často vytváří opačný efekt.". ZDROJ FB #Toleranci #Hudba #Generace
The Finnish Football Association imposed a 29-month ban on FC Eagles player Leotrim Gashi for a violent attack against the referee during a men's Nelonen match, which also led to a €300 fine for the team and the match being awarded as a 3-0 victory to the home team TuPS/Skavaböle. (translated)
🚨 John Textor sofre nova derrota milionária na Justiça inglesa. A Alta Corte da Inglaterra determinou que o empresário pague US$ 99.636.986,30 à Iconic Sports Eagle Investment, em cumprimento ao acordo de opção de venda firmado entre as partes. Segundo a decisão, o valor aumenta em US$ 22.602,74 por dia até que o pagamento seja realizado. 🗞️ @mjshrimper . #medeiros #Justiça #Esportes #Negócios
Lors de la Como Cup, Lens a dominé Crystal Palace 3-0… face à Pierre Sage, leur ancien entraîneur désormais sur le banc des Eagles. 😅 Et l’autre symbole de la soirée : Odsonne Édouard, transféré de Crystal Palace à Lens l’été dernier, s’est offert un doublé contre son ancien club. Beau résultat pour les Sang et Or ❤️💛 #ComoCup #Lens #CrystalPalace
O associativo do Botafogo se posicionou contra a ação de Textor que tenta bloquear as ações da SAF. O americano alega ter R$ 150 milhões a receber pela transferência dos 90% à Eagle Bidco. O clube social rebate dizendo que essa dívida não consta nas demonstrações financeiras auditadas da própria holding, que era controlada pelo próprio Textor na época. Além disso, também diz que a operação foi uma capitalização com emissão de participação societária, e não uma compra e venda, e que ele esperou quase quatro anos para cobrar, sem nenhuma notificação ou registro contábil. O clube social pediu para participar formalmente do processo, já que detém 51% da SAF, e alertou que o bloqueio pode travar a recuperação judicial e comprometer a entrada de novos investimentos prevista para a próxima semana. — @jotapfragoso | O Globo #Botafogo #SAF #Futebol
