  1. Yes, I'm definitely taking some time off once these projects are finished. Might have a friend visiting for a week or so, so that would be great. My new bungalow should be ready in about 10 days too, and then some family from Germany should come for a visit next month Are you going to a gym? I can't stand it I just have a 45 minute or so bodyweight workout routine for different muscle groups + swimming + cycling. Does wonders for me whenever I need to tone a little bit, haha.
  2. Busy with work lately, already clocking in 60+ hours this week and it won't get much better until next Thursday when the deadline passes. Rain non-stop is being replaced with scorching sun and 35+ heat and then it's back to rain non-stop again. I thought the humidity ruined one of my cameras but luckily, I was able to clean the sensor today so it's a relief. The Italian restaurant had their stone oven broken, which meant no pizza for a while, but I finally got one today and it's marvelous. Also started exercising properly again so can hardly walk now.
  3. 43 points ahead of Ticktum now + a pole for the last race in Spielberg today, so the gap can increase even further if all goes according to plan. Then 3 last races of the season in Hockenheim next month, and it's all over. Doesn't even need to win, just get into points and the title is his. Brilliant turnaround. Hope to see him in a Prema seat in F2 next season.
  4. Pole for Mick for both Races 2 and 3 tomorrow! A chance for another clean sweep and a huge step towards the title.
  5. So what? They might be more experienced in getting their opinions published and getting paid for it; it doesn't make them any more qualified or their opinion worth more than mine or yours or that of any other average person if they don't have any other qualifications to show for.
  6. To be honest, I take movie reviews and opinions of people on here such as Tsubs, Ignis, Dan, ASF and many others more seriously than any of the professional movie critics, even when I don't agree with them, as they are actually able to argue their case instead of relying on their reputation and inflated self-importance.
  7. Heute blau, morgen blau, und übermorgen wieder...
  8. The only requirement to be a critic on RT is two years' experience of writing movie reviews; it doesn't require proven cinematic or journalistic education. So in the end, it's just another opinion from another person, nothing else. The only film critics I personally enjoy are Red Letter Media; and that's only because they're entertaining without taking themselves too seriously.
  9. Why? I'm sorry, I don't buy your appeal to authority. I can accept that some of them have more technical knowledge and can most likely evaluate camera work, sound, lighting and similar filmmaking aspects better than the general audience (at least those who are actually trained in film theory and filmmaking; not those who are just good at bulshitting and making a career out of it - so pretty much the majority). Other than that, they are not more qualified to rate a movie than your average viewer with half a brain.
  10. And some movie critic's opinion is somehow a fact though?... You're right in that film - as any other form of art - is highly subjective and it's always a matter of opinions. The Last Jedi was visually stunning, but almost everything else (storyline, pacing, character backstories and development (and even character assassination in certain cases), plot holes and logic) was not good at the very least; that's why the audience generally disliked it.
  11. Well received by whom? The so-called "film critics"? Fair enough some of them like them but they're not good films
  12. Watched it in the pub and turned at least two Cambodians into racing and Mick fans Not eventful race by any means, but a good win for Mick. He and Schwartzman both had a good start, glad he managed to keep the lead. 18 points ahead now, hope for some more good results in quali 2 and both races tomorrow!
  13. Get in! Mick continues where he left of and claims the pole for Race 1 in Spielberg @Tommy
  14. The sequels are definitely worse; there's no way anyone could have saved it - it's fucking horrible. The Force Awakens is just a lazy remake of the New Hope and The Last Jedi is just plain boring and poorly written. Not to mention the shitty disposable new characters and ruining of the old characters such as Luke Skywalker by making them a total joke of their former selves.
  15. Rogue One (2016) A great fit in the Star Wars Universe (finally a superb world building again!), and just like Solo, a surprisingly good anthology movie that I enjoyed way more than I thought I would. Darth Vader scenes in it are brilliant, the ending is class and it's great that the movie fills the gaps in the original story. It actually feels like Star Wars, unlike the shitty sequels... 7.5/10
  16. Of course not - and it's not exclusive to African countries only, but it's particularly rampant there (and most other developing countries) because of poor record keeping. Like I recall that a few years back over 20 (!) Nigerian players were found to be overage and were banned; that's almost the whole team so it's hardly a coincidence... after shite like that going on for years, it's no wonder people get suspicious.
  17. You don't believe in something that has been well proven and documented in numerous cases and they even introduced MRI tests due to age fraud being so rampant in Africa?...
