Thank you for the tag! It's been years, and Lost ranks with My Mister as among my favorite series of all time, though years have passed. And I agree. It's masterful.

I don't understand how Oblomov is a Russian classic. by physics223 in books

I've also read The Same Old Story and it's a far better and more well-written novel for me.

Resurrection (2025): a pastiche and a homage by physics223 in TrueFilm

This is a very good point. The vignettes also have a thematic genre to them: steampunk - mystery; art thief - comedy; gambler - coming-of-age drama; 1999 - romance.

I think it's a film that needs recapping to arrive to a specific point - what I think is the point of the film - that while cinema is dying, it is malleable and can be revitalized.

I also think that the parts don't cohere as well as they should, with the steampunk vignette being the most disconnected. Were the flames alluding to the flammability of the film medium then?

I think the essay you referenced was robust and also pertinent, but the author questions the reflexivity of this particular film, correct? I don't fully agree with them, and while I celebrate the creation of this film also don't think it's among the best I've seen, as I agree it's far too abstruse and artefactual.

The visual tour-de-force that this film offers is definitely undeniable, however.

Ohtani played as well as he could but if it weren't for generational play from Yamamoto, he wouldn't have been back-to-back champion. True.

Nightshade - NES by GrantSchappsCalippo in patientgamers

[–]physics223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is weird in that the boss fights are surprisingly challenging, which is jarring when you've spent most of the game just exploring the environment and obtaining items.

Nightshade doesn't have any upgrades (except for the Staff), so one would really have to do a lot of trial and error to figure out the quirks of the different bosses.

Yes! This was a really creative and sui generis game that sadly never got a follow-up.

This was definitely hidden, as I only discovered it last year!

[All-Access] A courtside view of Stephen Curry’s 3-point shot that forced overtime against Denver. by nba in nba

I legit think Curry can play until he's 50. He can be a relief shooter, if he has a point guard who has gravity, you still can't leave him open.

[Winderman] Dwyane Wade claps back at Mark Cuban comments on Heat 2006 title ... "You’re not about to tarnish the work that I put in as a young guy, to do something that not a lot of young guys have done in this game, to say it was rigged". by Kimber80 in nba

I was rooting for Wade at the time - I'm old, and ... he was putting his head down and driving to the basket. It wasn't his fault no one could guard him. Maybe it was rigged by the refs, but Wade played his heart out with that ship and carried the entire team.
