The Chaser 10th anniversary

10 years ago this month. unlike any Korean film i've seen. this is how thrillers should be done.

"You see, Theo's faith lost out to chance. So, why bother if life's going to make its own choices?"

kindred spirits

for all of Conte's contempt for Mourinho, they're kindred spirits.

it started when Conte celebrated wildly in Mourinho's face at Stamford Bridge, but Mourinho did the same against Ferguson at Old Trafford.

both shot to prominence leading mediocre squads to overachieve, one with Porto, one with Italy.

Conte won his first major title at the age of 43, young for managers, while Mourinho did it even earlier at 40.

I hated Mourinho but respected his football; I hate Conte but respect his football.

and despite precedence, Conte is now taking a route hauntingly parallel to Mourinho's. he sacked his star striker for no good reason, and sent his Chelsea from champions to pedestrians.

"I knew guys like you in the army. You do any terrifying thing you are asked to do, but you have to do it running. You think you can outrun your fears, your doubts. The only thing that really scares you is stillness. But everyone is overtaken eventually."

i like motion pictures

The Post is like a more dramatic version of Spotlight. It's like letting Spielberg direct Spotlight. Some will appreciate the more mainstream style, some will find a few moments corny. Impeccably acted and powerful statement on female empowerment. The opening scene of the editor standing up to the publisher is enough for your ticket price.

When polar bears hunt, they crouch down by a hole in the ice and wait for a seal to pop up. They keep one paw over their nose so that they blend in, because they've got those black noses. They'd blend in perfectly if not for the nose. So the question is, how do they know their noses are black? From looking at other polar bears? Do they see their reflections in the water and think, "I'd be invisible if not for that." That seems like a lot of thinking for a bear.

am I just praying to silence?

来了你又不high

You said, "So go," with such disdain.
