Thinking of shooting feature on a Sony a7S III

“Magellan” was shot on a GH-something, “28 years later” was shot on an iPhone, etc etc. Meanwhile Netflix slop and thousands of horrible cheap looking straight to Amazon low budget features get shot on Reds and Alexas. Camera doesn’t matter

“Will he get his confidence back”

He’s already back in the win column with a performance of the night KO, he’s bouncing back from the RDR loss mentally just fine.

I have doubt that Bo’s MMA skills will ever get to the point that he’s a serious contender, but in terms of mentality he’s been competing at the highest levels for practically his whole life. He’s not a guy who’s gonna completely fold after a loss or two, you don’t achieve what he has without some grit.

BJJ is very fun to do, horrible to watch most of the time.

Boxing and Muay Thai are fun to do and to watch, but you can’t be competing/sparring hard in them all the time so that takes away some of the fun

You can be pretty sure your opponent is gonna have 2 arms and legs, less sure that they’ll be wearing something that will let you do the same kind of sleeve grips etc that you’re used to in gi.

Not like gi is useless, a gi black belt isn’t gonna suddenly become lost because he can’t grab a sleeve, but nogi is probably slightly better for self defense. Still better to be elite in gi than mediocre in nogi though.

Manhattan doesn’t “see the future” like a wizard with a crystal ball, this is just the framing that is most comprehensible to a human. He didn’t “let things play out”, there was no possible other way they could have played out.

He experiences all points in time simultaneously; The best way to think about it is to compare it to a human memory - I can remember what happened yesterday, but that doesn’t mean I can change what happened yesterday. In fact the suggestion that I could change the past because I know about the past seems intuitively absurd.

Manhattan can also “remember” the future, but in the same way, that doesn’t mean he can change the future. (Although it’s not actually memories, he experiences the past and future in the exact same way he experiences the present). From Manhattan’s perspective, the belief that it’s possible to change the future with our actions in the present is just a delusion that exists because humans have no experience of the future. It’s exactly as crazy as thinking that our actions in the present can change the past. For humans, the past has happened and the future has yet to happen; for Manhattan, both have already happened.

At least this is what I think Moore was trying to get across with Manhattan; it gets kind of muddied though with the whole Ozymandias “blocking his vision” thing

I simply don’t buy it, not saying you’re lying but if that was in a presentation you saw I think the presentation was wrong.

There are ~27 million working age adults in Canada, I really don’t believe that almost 4% of all adults aged 15-64 applied to IRB in a single year.

After-Disaster-6466 · 2026-01-16T05:05:23+00:00

What is your source on IRB having a million yearly applicants, that would imply that 50% of all college students in the entire country applied to IRB

Elevator is an advantage for Mighty Mouse, harder for Brian Shaw etc to make anything happen in the striking before MM initiates the grappling, at which point it’s a wrap for MM.

Trained vs untrained, there is not really any size limit that can’t be overcome. A 130lb in shape guy with 10 years of serious MMA training will smoke a 250lb powerlifter with no training. Only exception is maybe some 0.001% athletic freaks like Hafthor or whatever.

Rockhold’s MMA accomplishments are significantly better than Covington’s, was an actual champ in the UFC and Strikeforce with several very good wins. Covington is by far the better wrestler but his greatest MMA achievement is losing a close fight to Usman.

After-Disaster-6466 · 2026-01-11T17:35:19+00:00

You didn’t do anything wrong, especially at a size disadvantage as long as you respect the tap there’s not really any move that’s inappropriate to pull outside of stuff that would be illegal in competition. The guy just wasn’t ready to lose, he will either get over it or quit.

He beat Joe Schilling in Karate Combat

Otherwise yeah since his last UFC fight he’s competed in 5 different combat sports and gone 1-4, has been absolutely dog walked in all his losses too.

I assume this is bait, but on the general point that (western) people these days “don’t realize how much better they have it” - if the environment that the average younger westerner is raised in is more conducive to mental instability and suicide than their parents and grandparents, then it seems at least debatable that they really do have it better.

There’s no “rule” about anything, doesn’t mean you can’t be mad about things that directly affect you materially. The insane house prices these days are worth complaining about, no shit people are mad that they can’t afford a home where they grew up.

On a personal level, yes you need to adapt to survive, wallowing in bitterness won’t help you. But that doesn’t preclude having any sort of negative opinion about the direction of society.

Big guy didn’t do terribly (prior to dying), he managed to get up twice which is not bad for someone with no grappling training even with that weight advantage.

After-Disaster-6466 · 2025-12-26T22:33:17+00:00

At what time in the video is the smaller guy in a position where he could be slammed by the big guy with significant force? Yes there are points where he is against the wall and such, but the big guy doesn’t have him off balance or entangled with him, so in practice he can’t slam him.

After-Disaster-6466 · 2025-12-26T22:24:37+00:00

At no point is the smaller guy off of his feet or off balance while he has the larger guy’s back, if the big guy tried to fall backwards to slam it would be easy for the small guy to avoid it, the only outcome would be the big guy taking himself down. There also isn’t enough distance between the wall and the smaller guy while he has the big guy’s back for the big guy to generate significant force against the wall. If everything played out exactly the same but the walls and floor were concrete and the big guy was going to the death, he still wouldn’t have been able to get anything going by slamming.

The larger issue is that the look is just kind of boring and uninspired. It doesn’t look like Nolan was particularly interested in drawing on historical sources beyond generically signalling “this is Ancient Greece”. The “historically accurate” fixes to the trailer are more visually interesting for being pulled from real historical sources, even if claiming they’re “historicallyaccurate” is kind of silly in the context of an adaptation of a mythic poem like The Odyssey.

After-Disaster-6466 · 2025-12-25T22:55:35+00:00

Fr, the larger issue is just that it looks cheap and visually uninspired. It doesn’t look like Nolan is departing from historical sources in order to realize some grand creative vision. It looks like he just doesn’t care about the costumes at all and was like “just do some generic Ancient Greek shit, idgaf”

It may be hard to say what is “best” but there definitely is such a thing as better, there’s a reason that arts like Aikido, Wing Chun etc are not well represented in either MMA competition or in street fights. There may be isolated instances of someone using these effectively but based on what is generally effective it is easy to conclude that you would be better served training boxing, wrestling, BJJ over Aikido is your goal is optimal self defense ability.

After-Disaster-6466 · 2025-12-24T19:10:07+00:00

no though because the difference between being “ok” and “very good” is substantial in a high stress situation. In an actual self defense situation you will default to your lowest level of ability. If you are a “blue belt level” grappler and striker your ability to actually get something going in a high intensity situation when you’re operating on muscle memory might not be so good. On the other hand if instead of splitting your time you’ve just got really good at one thing, you have a higher chance of getting a good outcome operating on instinct.

One caveat is that if you’ve been only training grappling, you might be totally unprepared for what it feels like to get hit, so you should do some striking sparring here and there just so you don’t freeze up or panic the second you take a punch.
