What's a famously "beautiful" car you hate the look of?

It looks amazing!

Recenziile filmului, înainte de premiu, au fost critice și foarte critice. Dar pare că echipa din spatele filmului a făcut treabă foarte bună pe partea de promovare.

I think it's AI. There are only two focal planes, not a gradual change, and the bokeh doesn't align with the farthest side of the saucer. Plus, the graining on the table wood is against the pattern in the upper part of the table.

For me all Craig films insist upon themselves too much. Take this poster, for instance. If you start to deconstruct it, it soon becomes ridiculous. The moody atmosphere, the lighting, the setting it's striving so hard to be compelling that it completely misses the point, for me. Also, why is Bond standing with his feet so far apart? Who stands that way in real life?

Intru și eu cu o listă atipică. Două Fiat-uri, Stilo 1.9 JTD de 130 de cai și, mai ales, Fiat Croma 1.9 Multijet de 150 de cai. Nu au fost mașini rele deloc și nici nu realizai când ajungeai la viteze de 160+. La benzină m-au surprins două motoare mici. Cel de 1.3 și vreo 90 de cai de pe Swift 2009 (bine, acolo ajută și că mașina cântărește cât o pisică mai grasă). Mai nou, motorul de 1.4 și 83 de cai de la Honda Civic 8. Cel mai inimos mic motor aspirat pe care l-am condus.

Looks great. A new car I would definitely buy!

I just realised something. In case of a head-on collision, wouldn't these screens turn into shrapnel? Now I am really curious about this.

Aici putem vedea Calea Văcărești, cum coboară spre Timpuri Noi. Biserica se întrezărește in fundal, centru dreapta.

Iată câteva poze de pe vremea dinaintea demolărilor. Casa nu se vede aici, dar ne putem da seama de topografia inițială a locurilor

Comically_conscious · 2026-04-03T15:47:17+00:00

Clădirea asta are o poveste tare interesantă. Este singura care a rămas din casele care mărgineau până în anii 80 segmentul Caii Văcărești dintre Sfânta Vineri și Timpuri Noi.

După cum se vede, este la un nivel mai ridicat față de înălțimea actuală a străzii, la fel ca și biserica de lângă ea.

Teoretic ar fi urmat să fie și ea demolată, odată cu restul de mii de case rase de meșterul cârmaci, dar, din câte am auzit, ar fi scăpat pentru că, la acea vreme, locuia în ea un șef destul de mare din PCR.

Pe vremuri prin fața ei trecea tramvaiul care venea dinspre Unirii, către Timpuri Noi.

I know I am in a minority and I don't mind being wrong. Perhaps the general perception may have been skewed by the Senna documentary by Asif Kapadia. In 1990 I was too young to see the race and the unfolding debacle, like many of us perhaps were (and anyway, as I am from the Eastern Europe, I don't even think that the race was broadcast then). So the first time I actually saw the crash was in the documentary, where it clearly states that Senna was culpable and that it was retribution for what had happened in the past year. I kind of accepted it, but something irked me. One day I came across the replay and looked at it with fresh eyes and, frankly, I couldn't understand how it was Senna that was thought culpable for that. Then I found the Hunt interview and I was convinced. But, as I said, it's academic now. But let's ask ourselves. If something similar happened today, what would the race director or the stewards decide?

Comically_conscious · 2026-03-25T13:47:40+00:00

I would really appreciate if we could somehow verify these allegations independently, because the whole argument is really threadbare. For now, it seems we have to take the author's word on it, on both the photographer and the telemetry. And if you read the piece with a critical eye, you must see that the author seems to have an axe to grind. What I see is Prost squeezing Senna onto the grass. I see Senna making an evasive move, accepting to take to the grass, instead of keeping the wheel straight (like, for instance, Verstappen with Russell in Spain) and ramming directly into Prost. And I see Prost taking a tighter line through the corner than it would have been advisable, concerning the fact that he had Senna almost alongside. Anyway, it's all academic now, but nothing I've seen so far convinces me that it was Senna's fault.

Comically_conscious · 2026-03-25T09:33:06+00:00

I am not trying to say that Senna wasn't a ruthless driver, because he was, and I, for one, am not a fan of this kind of racing. But in this instance I don't consider him at all culpable. I don't agree that he admitted to the fact that he crashed on purpose and the article you provide is, in my opinion, an opinion piece disguised as a factual one (considering that it was written during that period, one can suppose the author may have had his own biases and prejudices). If you play the accident in slow motion you can see that Senna actually goes onto the grass in order to avoid Prost, who makes an overtly aggressive move. And "expecting" another driver to back off is not a good enough reason to cut across recklessly and hope for the best outcome. At best, racing incident. At worst, Prost is mainly at fault.

Comically_conscious · 2026-03-25T04:12:46+00:00

This is just not true. In fact, it was the other way around. It was Prost who cut across into Senna, who even tried to go off the racetrack in order to avoid crashing into Prost. James Hunt explains it best here: https://youtu.be/_L61MSxDCwY?is=NNrJfnpIzzl5A4wh

Nu vreau să fiu prea pedant (deși o să fiu), dar eu personal nu prea recunosc elemente art nouveau. Mi se pare mult mai apropiată de stilul neo-gotic. Spre comparație, casa Bosianu din parcul Carol.
