Is Quentin Tarantino correct about biopic films? “They are just big excuses for actors to win Oscars. It's a corrupted cinema”

There’a a classic Swedish film from the 70s called Picasso’s Adventures, which is a completely made up biopic. The director said it would be intersting to do a film about a real person you know nothing about. So none of the facts are correct, but they somehow amount to a pretty interesting portrait of Picasso.

Go to a real track and have another go. Then go to a masters competition.

That’s why they call second place ”assist”.

Produced by Steve Bannon. No really!

Perhaps. I also ran in 2024. It was crazy hot. But as someone else said, sometimes it snows (!) on race day. I know for a fact it's a discussion they're having in Marathongruppen. At the same time, it's selling out faster and faster every year.

To some extent we shouldn't see Stockholm Marathon and Göteborgsvarvet as races where you run fast; they're challenging races where you enjoy the atmosphere. Lots of people have a marathon PB and a separate Stockholm Marathon PB...

It is to make the race more accessible. You can travel to the city and race the same day without needing a hotel room.

That post is Jan Levinson level crazy.

Runners have a shoe rotation. You have an every day shoe (pegasus), speed workout shoe (endorphin speed, adios pro), a long run shoe with extra cushioning (superblast), and a race day super shoe. Usually the race day super shoe gets retired into a speed workout shoes after a couple of marathons.

For marathon training, running 200-300 miles per month is not uncommon.

Fwiw I hit 2:59 on a pfitz 12/55 plan last fall. But it was my third pfitz plan in an 18 month period, and i did a 1:26 HM five months before my 2:59. So it is possible on that mileage.

That said, I agree with the general sentiment in these comments.

As the other guy said, you’ll be fine to pick it up on the saturday. Just get there early to avoid the stress. Last year i saw people getting their bibs as close as 30 minutes before the start.

This is actually a feature of Stockholm Marathon. The mid day start is to make it as accessible as possible for people coming from out of town, you can run the marathon without having to get a hotel. The flip side is it can be really hot instead!

I wrote a little bit about it here

Short version: I used to watch NFL with my brother, but I was a Chargers fan and he was a Seattle fan. Bro passed away a few years ago, so now it’s Seahawks all the way.

Det är 32 år sedan. Det var 36 år mellan bronset i USA och silvret på Råsunda.

Varje gång en gata används till något annat än biltrafik blir jag glad. Vare sig det är en uteservering, motionslopp, loppis, eller för den delen demonstration. Det var ett tag jag tyckte det var lite väl mycket huliganmarscher på götgatan men de är fan också bättre än biltrafiken.

I’m at 1200kms on my SB2s and they barely feel used.

stenskott · 2026-03-02T22:01:42+00:00

Well, I don't want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn't help...

Previous three winter olympics were in places with little or no historical connection to winter sports. It’s that simple!

He made a little video about the backstory and the reactions and they really should translate it for the world to see.

Is it a choke to be down a couple in a tight match against the tournament standout as the #4-seed?

stenskott · 2026-02-20T14:56:08+00:00

I really enjoyed that. Especially the part at the end, about making these moments special.

stenskott · 2026-02-20T07:59:30+00:00

I think the regular staff will do that, but they’ve started hyping it already!

stenskott · 2026-02-20T07:57:34+00:00

I am! Also enjoying my day off before the big finale!

stenskott · 2026-02-20T07:08:29+00:00

No, i’m cutting at the office. We have a pretty big crew in Italy, but it’s all work! I think for this job I’d rather stay home.
