Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Absolutely terrific piece that centres what a review should and shouldn't be. 000
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Oh wow. Right. Right!! That's a true mark of consistent success. I wonder how many players made the 1980-1990 and the 85-95 lists in your work. 110
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Definitely. I would agree too. And thanks for your response. 010
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 28/10/2025To that end, I feel Modric might be the second greatest player of the last twenty years behind Messi. 110
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 28/10/2025I'd be really interested to know how you look at Cristiano Ronaldo, considering the teams he left continued to win things, especially Real Madrid, with more or less the same squad. To see how one abstract's an individual performance from a team's showing would be interesting. 200
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 28/10/2025I also take this opportunity to tag @jonbois.bsky.social, whose work has been essential to this essay. 000
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Really really thankful to Animus Magazine and Elena Lazic for this opportunity and for the many suggestions which have made the piece it is. 121
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Oh wow. Don't know what to make of this statement but it sounds like Edward Norton's character from FIGHT CLUB. 000
Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Saw Highest 2 Lowest, and if I were to compare it with the original, it's nowhere close. Kurosawa's film is all about ethical dilemmas. Spoke Lee's version is about choices made for the social media audience. Even as a standalone film it doesn't work. A$AP Rocky's "Both Eyes Closed" is great though. 020
