Tenet is, indeed, a mind blowing flick.

Did I ever mention the big car chase scene in 'To Live And Die In LA'?  One of my favourite thrillers ever and, damn, that scene is tense.  All done 'for real', no CGI back then!   ;D

My Blu arrived some days ago, i was on the road for a while and now i'm totally looking forward to watch this tonight!! A friend of mine just mentioned that he feels the Bullit car chase is when compared to this one totally overrated...

Well, what a blast! This was really fantastic and an eye opener for me. I am a devoted Grand Theft Auto player on the playstation and i have spent hours and months playing the game and driving around Los Santos, etc, being chased by the cops...and this car chase in Living and Die in L.A. looked so familiar. Well it has to be the other way around, but to watch this and reckognize some parts and streets of the city while doing a car chase...just loved it!! It was even more, it was like: "damn, i also drove that way while being chased" If you have not played the game you won't know what i'm talking about, but the sequence with crossing the train and then into the canal and there being chased and driving up the sidewalls... :D ;D

Yes, this carchase has to be one of the great ones!!

Saw this mindblowing documentary about MotoGP and i think it fits best in here:


I found this to be an exceptional good documentary. It tells a great suspenseful story and the images and footage are just pure adrenalin to watch. Very sympathetic, very rousing and thrilling and touching story. I highly recommend this.

Haha thanks, nostalgic to see this :) Tad too many police cars for my taste though as my favourite cheat code was to get rid of all the cops – it was such a pain when they came to interrupt all death and destruction I was creating ;D
