If you've not had a chance to see any "making of" from Revenant I thoroughly recommend them. The whole thing was an epic undertaking with extreme wide angle lenses used meaning the cameraman was often literally only a handful of inches from di Caprio's face for long sequences, particularly the...
I worked with a guy like this in the early 2000s, and while it's easy to knock the way it's described here he and his wife seemed very happy, seemed to be meeting all their life-goals and on track for achieving the things that were important to them. I'd say if it helps have a happy and...
Darts is as much a sport as archery or any other target based sport and has an undeserved reputation because it's about skill and mental fitness not physical fitness. It's also one of the most accessible sports - there are almost no barriers to taking part. The skill at the elite level is...
Basketball. I watched it a bit in the 90s until I realised it is a game that’s 99% filler just in the hope of drama in the last ten seconds because the scores are so close that’s the only time there’s any excitement. Just dull. 200+ total points scored, maybe 40-50 baskets per side in less than...
There's some slightly mad stuff alleged about potential electronic voting fraud in swing states that would need someone with access to a lot of the best technology infrastructure, huge sums of money, and a way to hide it that amplifies that sense of danger. Remember Musk saying that if Trump...
I've not been for a few years but it's a fantastic city just to wonder around, get lost in, and enjoy. Visit the churches and you'll see some of the best art around, and if you're lucky you'll stumble into a choir rehearsal too that will give you goosebumps. One of my favourite Venice moments...
I had a conversation recently with an American woman about this recently. She described herself as Italian-American - she's never been to Italy, doesn't speak Italian, neither do either of her parents. You have to go back four generations before you get to the bits of her family that emigrated...
I have some vintage RayBan's that I picked up in a carboot for £2 a few years ago - they are from when they were made by Bausch and Lomb and I like them a lot...everything about them just seems quality. I've also got some vintage Persol's I'm a big fan of - I got them for around £60 in a French...
West Upper. I can’t make Brentford or Arsenal so listed them both, single seat (I go on my own), Brentford sold on 14th Nov, Arsenal 26th Nov. It works for me too.
Yep, older chap next to me moved there to get away from the coke-monsters behind us. I stayed put and imagine got so much rage-flob on my head that it'll never quite be removed however much I wash. If future generations of archaeologists dig me up any kind of DNA testing might end up very confused.
