When I was coming up, we strove to play like that.He puts in only ONE burst of speed, which takes you by surprise and therefore has more impact.TODAY, funk players care only about speed, and they all play exactly the same patterns.This guy has over 6 million subscribers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY8G_7YgLrg

Everything is frenetic now, which is why we're seeing mass irrationality.Today my brother and I agreed to put off my move until after the coming recession. That means at least another six months in this godforsaken craphole, but there's no doubt that the housing market is already contracting.AND.LA County is carrying out mass releases of prisoners.NOT ONE PRISONER HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19.But the sheriff opposes ALL incarceration.

LA is taking advantage of the pandemic by implementing demented leftist policies that will never go away.The county doesn't give a damn about homeless people dying on the streets, but now they're trying to eradicate entire industries in order to "save lives."This is a blatant attempt to take over much of the private sector and then raise taxes massively.But the revenue will go to the pensions and benefits of government workers.

@Baline @ThomasWic Each of these films TAKES THEIR TIME TO TELL THE STORY. Look at OUATITW. Sergio Leone spends almost TEN MINUTES on the opening sequence in which all that happens is...some outlaws show up at the station to wait for the train's arrival. I'm not joking. Here it is if you've never seen it: The first part is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA3rlIHLFcoThe second part is here [nobody has the ENTIRE SEQUENCE up on YouTube, it seems]https://youtu.be/QML28YQBvyc

@drawandstrike @Baline @ThomasWic You are reminding me that I probably need to watch Altman's The Player again. The opening scene is a continuous uncut choreography that few directors would attempt. I am visually challenged when it comes to details. If I hadn't read a review I wouldn't have seen the mastery. QT's dialogue is why I enjoy his films. Loved Blade Runner. In terms of written story exposition Charles Palliser's The Quincunx fits.

@ThomasWic It's funny you mention computer games.I've played them on and off for years. I've loved games since I was a kid.Over the last 15 years or so I have watched the online community degrade into complete chaos and crap.It started with the chat boards. Where babies would go on and whine and complain about everything until the developers would break down and change the game to fit them. Usually ruining the game.Then as in game communication got better things got worse

In 40's picked up scuba diving, and love Caribbean wall diving where you really learn how to 'go with the flow'. All these experiences instilled helpful lessons on the reactions inside me with situations outside my control, but where I had control in how I *interacted with* the tides. In all cases, the lessons for effectively riding the tide are:

@oystergirl @whernandez @ThomasWic 2/21. Acknowledge forces one is working with. One cannot control the power of the river or ocean tide - one works with them.2. Surround with 1-2 good sane buddies.3. Situational awareness. Scout for the best path forward and be aware of surroundings (eddies to rest in, best courses, tangles, entrapment rocks, "widow maker" chug holes, rip tides). 4. Then ride the tide with the right paddle stroke, the right form of leg/flipper kick.5. Enjoy the journey.

@drawandstrike @ThomasWic Although I missed the window for guessing why you like these movies, I just want to say "Yay!" on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A friend told me it was horrible, that I would hate it, and so I avoided it for the longest time. Then I finally succumbed. So happy I did. This movie gave me such joy! I did not expect it to be what it was. I have been recommending it to everyone. Thank you, Brian, for liking and recommending it, too! : -)
