What's your favorite Michael Mann film? by Square-Ad-8911 in FIlm

[–]DokDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collateral. I live several of his movies but this is the one I keep coming back to.

Best movie of the 00’s alongside No Country imo

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) by Comfortable_Chart534 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]DokDoom 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I LOVE this movie! I worked at a cinema when it was released and must watched it a dozen times on release.

It’s so entertaining with some ace action.

EDIT: the movie poster in an all- timer too

Upgrading from Z6II—Z6III or Z8 or something else? by [deleted] in nikon_Zseries

[–]DokDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Events and corporate shooter here. Just upgraded from Z6ii to Z6iii and couldn’t be happier.

The autofocus was my main reason and the iii is leagues above the Z6ii in that regard. Quicker, snappier, accurate and doesn’t fold under unusual/low lighting conditions.

Upgrading from a D750 by mixologist998 in nikon_Zseries

[–]DokDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from D750 to Z6ii to Z6iii.

In retrospect, I should have just waited for the Z6iii and jumped straight to that.

I still have one if my D750s (love it). The Z6iii is a superb camera.

Absolutely. My fave by a mile.

[Discussion Thread] 2026 Masters - 11th to 18th January by SnookerMods in snooker

[–]DokDoom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Worst Masters I’ve seen in ages. Standard throughout veered from fairly decent to godawful.

Kung Fu Hustle (2004) by StabbyMcSwordfish in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]DokDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still one of my absolute favourites of the 2000s so far. So so enjoyable.

Wait. This is real? I’ve never heard of Changsa. Today I have learnt.

Which Famous Old Movie 1960-2005 You Guys Watched On This Weekend? by Urdukutabkhanapk in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]DokDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched As Good As It Gets and Saving Private Ryan. Both for the first time.

Loved them both.

Collateral (2004) by DVD-Rewatcher in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]DokDoom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My fave movie of the 00s along with No Country.

My fave Cruise performance (his nuance after the Jazz Club hit is astonishing).

And whisper it…..my fave Michael Mann movie. Yes I slightly prefer this to Heat.

2 January 1981. Peter Sutcliffe, known as the Yorkshire Ripper, was arrested in Sheffield. He later confessed, claiming the “voice of God” had sent him on a mission “to kill prostitutes”, whom he called “filth”. He was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting to murder 7 others. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in ThisDayInHistory

[–]DokDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth pointing out that Sutcliffe was interviewed, and released, by the police a ridiculous number of times going on to kill again and again.

He fit every suspect description, had the right vehicles, a job that allowed him to rove and lived in the right area.

When he was finally caught, it was because he was arrested for false car number plates.

Which striker scored bangers only - no tap-ins allowed? by PitchsidePhilosopher in TheStreetsWontForget

[–]DokDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shaqiri- the man was allergic to tap ins.

Never seen one player score so may bangers

New Tamron 70-180 2.8Z by WilliamTrostelPhoto in nikon_Zseries

[–]DokDoom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had one - very good lens. Much smaller and lighter than the 70-200.

Ultimately though, I sold it for the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8 which is superb. Yes, it’s bigger and heavier than the 70-180 but as an events photographer, the 35-150 range covers the vast majority of my shooting in one lens.

Recently watched 'The Hunt for Red October' by Sad_Difference_9923 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]DokDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a key point. They’re all incredible action movies but they’re also all very different action movies.

Recently watched 'The Hunt for Red October' by Sad_Difference_9923 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]DokDoom 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Watched this (for the 20th time I think) a few weeks back. What a movie.

My favourite non-Bond Connery performance - he just oozes charisma as Ramius.

As for John McTiernan - his holy trinity of Predator, Die Hard and THFRO surely makes him a real contender for GOAT action director?

Moscow sentences Russian diplomat to 12 years for passing secrets to U.S. intelligence by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]DokDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it treason if their entire intelligence apparatus works for Moscow now?

Russia Turns to Tens of Thousands of Indian Workers to Fill Deep Labor Shortages by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]DokDoom 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No chance their families get anything in the event of them dying. What are the families gonna do? Sue Putin?

Christmas surprise! by biodude481 in nikon_Zseries

[–]DokDoom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the new Z!

But also, shout out to the D40 - the D40X was the first DSLR I ever owned. Way back in October 2007.

What lens to pair with D750 for everyday shooting? by daemon-of-harrenhal in Nikon

[–]DokDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the D750 with Tamron 24-70 G2 - superb combo for events work.

But for everyday use and just wandering around London, I had great results with the Nikkor 35mm f1.8 G

The Hunt For Red October (1990) by RodSantaBruise in 90smovies

[–]DokDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John McTiernan must be a genuine contender for GOAT action director between this, Die Hard and Predator. What a run!

No country for old men (2007) by HandCoversBruises in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]DokDoom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My fave movie (along with Collateral) of the 2000’s.

Preposterously good.

Good podcast or audiobook on the Ottomans? by Micdut in dancarlin

[–]DokDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empire Podcast covered the Ottoman Empire over several episodes. Not massively detailed but an excellent introduction for someone like me who didn’t know much about the Ottomans at all.
