MoseySusan Posted March 27 Share #12 Posted March 27 Hello again! It would be good to have you back again because nobody here talks about movies except to say “It was good,” or “It was too long,” or “The social media influencer I buy into says I shouldn’t like this movie.” Are you an influencer, now? I’m not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing currently showing that I really want to see. Already saw Dune 2. There are some 2023 award winners I’m waiting to stream for free.

I’m not. I guess I have a homework assignment. My last movie was the Bob Marley movie. Pretty good. A little disjointed if you aren’t well versed on Bob Marley’s history and timeline. But a lot of substance which would make a 2nd viewing worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olas Nah Posted April 4 Author Share #29 Posted April 4 On 3/27/2024 at 3:19 PM, BuffJim said: So Barbie or Oppenheimer? Eh... I can't even see a reason to watch the first one... I read the book for the 2nd, and by god it was boring as hell. I know it won a Pulitzer or whatever, but it spends an awful lot of time on his communism accusations and really irrelevant life backstory stuff, some of it even disturbing (he once tried to poison one of his professors), and really very little about his actual scientific contributions, which was really odd. It's like the author just figured that's all anyone cared about, so that's what fills most of the book. I doubt I'll ever watch the movie.. I know what happens and IMHO 'Fat Man and Little Boy' plus some old TV movie about the project with Brian Dennehy was more educational. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Olas Nah Posted April 4 Author Popular Post Share #31 Posted April 4 I suppose a bit of an update on me is worthwhile... and I know it's been quite a spell In 2013 I got married, in 2014 I had my son (Oliver, who damn him, hates riding a bike (for now))... bought a bigger house close to my kids' elem school... I went back to school for my Masters (Analytics), got lateralish promotion as a result...(been at the same company since '05)... more or less quit riding cold turkey for about three years (my last ever bike race was a Merckx TT in the month just before my son was born)... got back on the horse after buying a Giant Defy Pro... did some charity rides, and just been kinda doing fitness riding for the last few years since... my schedule is always too iffy for too much dedicated training, and clubs around here are pretty spotty on group riding, sadly. Most of the shops don't even do rides anymore. I kinda feel like cycling's heyday is long past... 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still...just because there aren't training local group rides, shouldn't deter you from riding..to destress since your life is busier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I ride, it's just that riding solo and getting in competitive type riding is too...schedule focused. I've never once had to actually DO hardcore interval training. I just rode with fast assholes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted April 4 Share #35 Posted April 4 I suspect you are correct about the bike craze entering a slump. In part I blame ever increasing complexity and prices. I have no data to support it but I suspect that the biking population is ageing with fewer young entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be curious to know if that is resulting in lower number of entrants with racing interest over the past 3 decades.... main reasons for that drop.
