Coelacanth

Seeing as a lot of us seem to have watched it by now it might be fun to talk about our thoughts. I'll give a spoiler free review here and might go into more detail in the comments.

For me, the movie was almost exactly what I expected given the premise (Hollywood sports movie starring an aging Brad Pitt). But if you're an F1 fan you don't watch this for the story. Even then, there are some fanservice nods for us thrown in that I did smile at now and then, and even though the story takes a lot of liberties I was actually impressed at the amount of detail the movie goes into.

All that being said, you watch this for one reason alone: the shots of the racing. And they are spectacular. I wish they would linger a second or two longer instead of often jumping quickly between angles, but that's my only criticism. They look fucking amazing and it is worth the price of admission. And do yourself a favour and watch it in IMAX. Some of those shots are just breathtaking.

One of my favourite jazz artists, one of my favourite jazz standards. Beautiful rendition.

Another Brighton horror show for what is either the unluckiest team or a woeful medical department - or more likely both.

Once practice and qualifying were completed, every car had lapped the Jeddah Corniche Circuit faster than its predecessor had managed with a single exception: the AMR25s of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll

Someone else linked this absolutely haunting reading of Kipling's 1915 war poem some month or so back elsewhere on Lemmy and it's stayed with me since then. The poem is great in its own right but this reading is something else.
