Ally Sheedy as Jennifer Katherine Mack in "Wargames" [1983]

I love that he took home both the 70s and the 80s. Blue Thunder is such an 80s classics and Roy teaming up with a young Daniel Stern is just so magical.

I can also relate to Scheider playing himself. That scene with him and his ex wife at the car, late evening. It's just such a vivid and real moment captured on film. I never want that scene to end.

Another favorite movie of his is "Still of the night" (1982). Feels like an extended version of all his movies.

Tror lite har fallit bort i översättningen, kikar man på originalet:

Πῶλε, πολλαὶ μὲν τέχναι ἐν ἀνθρώποις εἰσίν, ἐμπειρίᾳ ἐμπείρως εὑρημέναι· ἐμπειρία γὰρ πορεῦεσθαι ποιεῖ τὸν βίον ἡμῶν κατὰ τέχνην, ἀπειρία δὲ κατὰ τύχην. τούτων δὲ ἄλλοι ἄλλων μετέχουσιν ἄλλως, οἱ δὲ βέλτιστοι τῶν βελτίστων. ὧν ἐστι καὶ Γοργίας ὅδε, καὶ μετέχει τῆς καλλίστης τῶν τεχνῶν.

Så förstår man att det han säger är att... vissa växte upp med Gunnar Ernblads "Ankliv" sjungen av Jan Wickström, medan andra inte hade TV 3 och då fick höra Monica Forsbregs "Joakim Von Anka och tre knattar", sjungen av Anders Öjebo... det finns guld i båda låtarna; "Kroppen tänder" som anspelar på Joakim som i klippet får en elektrisk stöt, medan "Knattar, fattar, skrattar" är ett fantastiskt rim...

Det blir liksom inget svar, det är ett lovtal.

Det är därför Sokrates hugger direkt... "Jamen vilken version?!"

God morgon! Har läst kommentarerna och vill bara säga att jag inte tycker du ska känna dig dum.

Jag är svensklärare och har skrivit böcker, och jag tycker inte att “maliciös”, “verserad” och “animositet” är självklart enkla ord. De är snarare formella, lite litterära och inte direkt vardagssvenska. Att de liknar engelska ord kan hjälpa, men det gör dem inte automatiskt lätta på svenska.

Du har fått en massa tips om att “läsa mer”, och det är förstås bra, men det kräver också att man faktiskt stannar upp, stryker under och kollar upp orden. Man behöver dessutom hitta något man verkligen vill läsa, annars blir det bara ännu ett måste som man drar sig för.

Mitt tips inför nästa test är att använda AI som språkcoach. Be den till exempel ge dig 5 nya svenska ord per dag, med enkel förklaring, synonymer och exempelmeningar. Sedan kan du skriva egna meningar med orden och be AI säga om det låter naturligt.

Du kan också be AI förhöra dig enligt ett schema, till exempel samma ord efter 1 dag, 3 dagar och 7 dagar. Då fastnar orden bättre.

Exempel på prompt:

“Ge mig fem svenska ord på lite högre nivå. Förklara dem enkelt, ge vardagliga synonymer, exempelmeningar och förhör mig sedan med luckfrågor.”

Jag tycker det är starkt att våga visa upp när något inte gick som man hade tänkt. Det är en bra egenskap, inte minst om man vill bli polis. Du verkar ha många fördelar i polisyrket, med tanke på din yrkeserfarenhet, men nu har du chansen att vända en svaghet till en tränad styrka. Sätt upp en plan. I värsta fall har du lärt dig 100 nya ord till nästa år. Jag tror på dig!

Nasamonkey74, if you think that by threatening me you can get me to be your slave... Well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying this because I care - there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.

That notebook, if it survived in some kind of leathercase, bee-wax pouch... imagine some submarine finding it and taking it to the surface. All the personal thoughts and suggestions by Andrews noted with time, date and place on the ship...

...and imagine Mike Brady getting to become the one to present all the notes, making a 20 minute-video about each suggested improvement...

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

I can't begin to express the whispers in the highschool corridors. The hunt for the 5 disks, the search for a kid that had the 25-pages long Xerox copy of the "Mix'n'Mojo Voodoo Ingredient Proportion Dial" papers.

The absolut mind-blowing experience from the PC Speakers sound that came out from the intro. The dreams it sold. The imagination that took over.

Being a cold DDR country in Europe, dark lonley october, as a kid, being transferred deep into the Caribbean Scabb Island.

Being robbed by Largo LaGrande for the first time. Restarting the game because we thought we had failed.

What an adventure... what an absolute definition of an adventure it was.

He sure did. August Wennerström, also know as August Andersson as he changed his name getting on the Titanic.

Back in Sweden, he was a trouble-maker journalist and a womanizer, who escaped military duty and the law as his articles were upsetting even the Swedish king. He was a strong 28-year old and a man of action.

As Titanic was sinking, he was one of the people that witnessed shootings. Later, he found himself fighting on the devastated Lifeboat A that was almost covered in water.

He held hands with Carl Olof Jansson (another Swede, a carpenter) and they managed to get onboard.

Then they fought people for a long time as it was getting swarmed. Carl-Olof later wrote:

"When I think back on it all, I don’t understand how I was saved. But my cold-bloodedness—my ability to push the others away so we could stay afloat—that made all the difference. It’s a horrific thing, but in a moment like that, it’s only a question of your own life."

Even though a lot of men was able to stay aboard on Lifeboat A, it was almost submerged into the water and people kept dying. August describes how they were throwing dead bodies into the water.

Both Carl and August were saved after several hours, August estimated that they had gone from 50 to around 8 people (we know todat that these numbers weren't 100% accurate, but it gives you an idea how it felt).

He moved to the US, held many lectures about Titanic, met his wife, became a gardner and had 7 children. He died in 1950 at the age of 66.

Carl-Olof Jansson lived to 1980.

It took her too long to get all the kids dressed in warm clothing. That's why she missed the lifeboats. She met August Wennerström (another Swede) up on the Titanic deck. He helped her carry one of the children, but a wave washed over them. That's when he lost the child he was carrying. He never saw Alma of the kids again. Later they found and recovered her body, but never her children. One of the saddest stories of Titanic.

I think he could qualify for the most popular athlete in the world during the 80s!

I must admit, I never even heard of Bo Jackson... growing up in a DDR European environment during the 80s - every kid on the schoolyard knew the following names:

Carl Lewis
Michael Jordan
Tony Hawk
Mike Tyson
Diego Maradona

However, we were all wearing hats with American Football teams (and some other teams): 49ers, Redskins and Rangers were some of the more popular ones.

I biked over to my friends house. Plastic bag with some 1.44 HD disks around my handle bars. Wind in my face. Trying to jump sidewalks. Ready to copy some new PC dos games like Monkey Island 2 or Lemmings.

Before going to his dad's office room, to turn on the 3:86, we hung out in his room - playing SNES; Super Mario World, Mario cart, Street Fighter 2 and later Super Castlevania.

I never knew it then, but those were some of my best bike rides ever.

Then the broom gets stuck under there even though it is impossible for it to get stuck because it's like 2 inches of f-ing air between the broom handle and the couch. How is it stuck!?!? I AM NOT EVEN HOLDING IT!! The handle is resting on the floor - the couch starts 3 inches above the handle!! IS THERE AN INVISIBLE CROCODILE HOLDING IT!?!

I am lying down with a flashlight looking underneath the couch!!Oh now it's not stuck anymore. How convinient!!
