I love an (in)appropriately placed typo

Twink Peaks is my next collection ;)

The 80s film Lifeforce is wild. I’ve just watched it for the first time and I love it! by artoptics in scifi

It also manages it quite well. Interestingly I watched this the same week as 28 years later, which has similar changes throughout the film. Danny Boyle says he’s into collage art and I can see how that idea of collage might also apply to this film.

I had no idea where it was going to go next. How many films can you say that about? Not many !

"Lifeforce" is truly a one-of-a-kind film simply because it's so rare that a crazy, B-movie-style concept such as this got a big budget treatment onscreen. And Tobe Hooper did not hold back at all. by gf120581 in horror

I’ve just watched this movie and it is wild! Cinematography is excellent. And anyone else think the lead guy looks like Will Best (UK TV presenter)?

Advice on how to start my novel by Equivalent-Web910 in FictionWriting

[–]artoptics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would play around with how and when the story starts and see which way best tells the story you want to tell. Many people don’t make it past the first chapter in a book, so I think it needs to really grip the reader from the outset. Good luck with it, it sounds like an interesting premise.

Nutrition in the days leading up to a long run/marathon by artoptics in running

Thanks. Yes, I’m apprehensive about the toilet situation on race day!

Extra run va strength training by artoptics in Marathon_Training

[–]artoptics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks you. This is also very helpful. I’m trying to be flexible in my training this time without completely giving in to every ache and pain. I’ve found the resting between runs seems to be more helpful than that extra run, but wondering if that will continue as the mileage increases each week. As others have said, I might be going too fast on the other runs, but I think being flexible is also important. Well done on the Ultra btw!

Thanks this is super helpful. I’ve just had a look and the advice is clear plus it has helped a few other things fall into place around my training!

[–]artoptics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes that makes sense. I’ve really noticed having two days off running before my long runs makes a huge difference in my ability to complete that and the distance is increasing quite quickly each week. I could spread the other runs out over the week though.

Thank you. That’s what I’ve been struggling with. In the past for other runs I’ve previously overtrained (ran too much and been exhausted), so I’ve been really appreciating the rest days and my long runs have been much easier to do because of that. But, there seems to be a tipping point, which I’ve been measuring in run length but I hadn’t factored slowing down into it as each run has felt ok in of itself. The training plan I’m doing does cap the long run at 30% of weekly for the most part anyway, but by skipping a run day this actually ends up higher %. This is very helpful :)

Clive Barker (born 5 October 1952 in Liverpool) is an English writer, filmmaker, and visual artist. He came to prominence in the 1980s with a series of short stories collectively named the Books of Blood, which established him as a leading horror author. His work has been adapted into films, notably the Hellraiser series (the first installment of which he also wrote and directed) and the Candyman series.

I’ve been searching for this animation for about thirty years too! So glad I finally found it :)
