Meanwhile, Nolly—
As A24 scales up with bigger budgets, it faces a new challenge: reaching audiences beyond the coasts. • Part of the studio’s allure is that it doesn’t make movies for everyone. Some of the company’s buzziest films were wildly polarizing, like “Hereditary” (D+ CinemaScore) and “Uncut Gems” (C+). • None of those movies cost above $20M to produce, but with “Elden Ring” ($200M) and next year’s $35M slasher “Slayground,” A24 can no longer afford to be so divisive. • “When you get into these price tags, you have to talk four quadrants. A24 didn’t build their brand on four-quadrant films. They chased two quadrants very hard,” says Travis Knox, associate professor of producing at Chapman University. “At $100 million-plus budgets, you can’t ignore Oklahoma and Indiana.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lI4j0

Fergie built United's modern legacy on players with tough mental resilience, setting the tone and bar for what type of personality can or cannot thrive at United. Glazers, Woodward, and Van Gaal set the club on the wrong course by focusing on star quality and that continued...

If you want public attention but cannot handle constant wild swings between highs of praise and lows of criticism, you either will not make it at United or will do well but suffer a lot of torment along the way—Depay, Lingard, Rashford, Pogba.

The ideal United footballer is a Rooney, Casemiro, Scholes: elite tier skills *and* a tough-as-nails mentality. While the skill requirement can drop all the way down to a relegation level player, the mentality requirements have to remain high and only drop within a top range.

This is not a flaw. It's inferable that there's some prep stuff to sort out before taking off that affects Coop's timing. Crucially, mo amount of extended time would soothe Murphy's pain. He has to go at some point and Murph will feel hurt whenever that is. We can also read...
One of Interstellar’s dumbest flaws is Matthew McConaughey’s goodbye. The Endurance takes TWO YEARS to get from Earth to Saturn. Waiting one extra hour to calm a traumatised daughter changes nothing on a multi-year timeline. Nolan just cranks the volume and hopes you won’t notice

...it as the separation being so hard to bear that Coop had to leave as late as he could which was still early for Murph. It's a human moment so the messiness *is* the point. That's the drama.

Post-match quotes from Bruno and Tielemans have a very suggestive of Carrick's sack being already in place. #MUFC

That's why he can't see when it's the right call to bench him and keeps trying to shoehorn him in the XI at our detriment. By all means have your favourites but also have common sense alongside.
🚨🎙️ | Michael Carrick says he LOVES having Youri Tielemans in the squad: "I thought the way Youri stepped into the game, he showed everything he's about. "He's not had the ideal start here in terms of the team and the run that we've been on, but his personality, his character and stepping into the team like he did just showed everything that he's about. "He's a top, TOP human being. I love having him around for all and everything that he brings. So massively impressed with Youri and the way he came into the game." ❤️🇧🇪

If you look at this attacking line that thrives at running defences, going direct for goal, and intuiting creative play, yet think they won't flourish under Ole's ball, you have your eyes rolled backwards in your head. #BringOleBack #BringOleBack #BringOleBack #MUFC

We have our identity. We have OUR thing. Fast. Direct. Bold. Relentless. Hardworking. Those are our pillars. You can be those things as possession team or a counter attacking team, that's secondary. Those cultural pillars are what matter first. Bring back my red arrows! #MUFC

You have players who thrive playing fast and direct but instead of embracing that you want to domesticate them into playing possession-stat football. Whether by Carrick's choice or the imposition of the board, whoever is responsible needs to be checked. #MUFC

Ole rocked up to Par des Princes with 5 youth players in the squad, two of which came into the game, with nothing but the belief that mountains are there to be climbed and came out with the W. It took lots of luck but 'luck' can only find the bold. #BringOleBack
Paul Pogba was putting in poor performances for us, and Mourinho went to the academy, brought McTominay into the team and made a statement. I need a manager at this club who has the balls to do what's necessary, regardless of who the player is. Enough is enough.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Some fans just get it! Every manager who has failed has been someone who tried to introduce some fancy new football philosophy. The most successful run we've had post Fergie came from the one guy whose philosophy is exactly that the club's greatest era was built on. 2 + 2 = 4
To all those idiots who want Conte or Howe or Nagelsmann, but not Ole, go support another club because you don't understand Utd at all. Utd has a unique identity & needs a specific type of character to manage this special club. Utd is a different devil on a different level.
