Almost missed this because Instagram has become fully unusable for me :blobcatfluffangry:
Samba Schutte has posted another snippet from the Crew Meeting Scene That Keeps On Giving: "A whole minute of Ed & Stede complimenting Zheng's moves"! :blobcat_pirate:
Poor Frenchie must have been horrified! :ofmdPirateFlagCatBloody:
Time to watch the movie “Next Goal Wins.” Summary from IMDb:
“Directed by Academy Award Winner Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit, Thor: Ragnarok), NEXT GOAL WINS follows the American Samoa soccer team, infamous for their brutal 31-0 FIFA loss in 2001. With the World Cup Qualifiers approaching, the team hires down-on-his-luck, maverick coach Thomas Rongen (Michael Fassbender) hoping he will turn the world's worst soccer team around in this heartfelt underdog comedy.” 🎥🍿⚽️ #NextGoalWins #TaikaWaititi
@cfmccarthy Nice. Never been. It is interesting how so many places sub for others in the movies and the complex factors that go into deciding that. I imagine smaller places like American Samoa would do easily be overrun with all it needs to take a movie.
"Our Flag Means Death" has been canceled after a two-season run, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The show has a 94 percent critic score at Rotten Tomatoes. Co-creator Taika Waititi's "Reservation Dogs" wrapped last year and his "What We Do in the Shadows" will conclude this year. Next up for the prolific producer/actor/director is a remake of "Time Bandits."
@CultureDesk "Time Bandits" will need a lot of work to take it into this century. I mean, where do you start? I hope the cringeworthy #abelism is high on Taika's list of things to improve.
@OskarImKeller The team behind it looks promising — Jemaine Clement and Sam Bain are involved — and Lisa Kudrow and Charlyne Yi have been cast. They've announced it'll be 10 episodes but it doesn't seem to have started filming yet so a lot could change.
Taika Waititi's new movie, "Next Goal Wins," was inspired in part by the life of Jaiyah Saelua, an American Samoan soccer star and the first out transgender person to play in a FIFA-sanctioned tournament. GQ talked to her about her journey, being fa’afafine (the third gender in Samoan culture) and what she thinks of critics saying the film is a white savior story.
