@SeizeTheNae I just watched him in “Contagion,” and he is probably best known as Morpheus from “The Matrix,” but he’ll always be Mr. Clean from “Apocalypse Now” to me. He was only 14 when he was cast, though he and his mother claimed he was 17.
@MarioNawfal Yes, it’s the power of conditioning first and foremost. 30 seconds of sustained fighting is exhausting and 95% of bodies aren’t conditioned to do that, especially since people forget to breathe.
@adnansvirk It’s like the scene in Goodfellas when Henry gets busted by the police. He said he knew it was the cops because they come in making noise. If it was Wiseguys, he wouldn’t have heard a thing. But it brings the end into focus for all of us. One minute the light’s on, then it’s off.
@adnansvirk as a Sopranos fanatic, did you want David Chase to wrap up the series with a bloody bow and neatly package Tony’s ultimate and inevitable demise, or did you prefer the more ambiguous ending? Has your view changed in the 20 years since?
@adnansvirk No disrespect to Ben Kingsley, but Ole Blue Eyes should have won Best Actor for his work here. The Academy, however, made up for it four years later for Newman’s reprise as Fast Eddie Felson in “The Color of Money,” when arguably it should have been James Woods for “Salvador.”
@BREADGAINER@LakeshowX@TruckBon You do realize players hand-checked in the ‘80s, don’t you? NOTHING came cheap. Wembanyama would be bent like a Gumby doll.
@LakeshowX@TruckBon Get this - and I know this sounds crazy today - but I favor basketball players that actually play competitive basketball. No pouting; no load management; no flopping; no jersey swaps; no 7 footers pulling up at the three-point line; no cheap free throws; no run and run chucking.
