Great to see someone make a highbrow contribution after all the chatter about The Odyssey!

@IH-GARY I love the Rocky films. This looks awesome.

Yea, Obession was brilliant! It definitely lived up to the hype. The actor who played Nicki (Inde Navarrette) was the star of the film - really unsettling performance...
She only made $20k from it, which is a shame since it made $450m at the box office, but it did have a tiny budget in fairness
WHAT!? only $20k?! thats actually absurd. Hope they gave her a bonus. At least it will surely end up as a jumpoff for her to get more roles in the future, which will surely reward her talent.

Wow, that was intense. Not bad.
Of course, this is a work of horror fiction, but in psychiatry, there is a disorder with symptoms that are partly similar. Anyone interested in reading a good book on the subject should check out Ian McEwan's 'Enduring Love'. There is also a film adaptation, but I haven't seen it.

100% @endo
It was weak and predictable. AI could have written a better plot.
Makes me appreciate how good Any Given Sunday is.

I actually enjoyed the F1 movie. Yeah it was (almost) everything wrong with Hollywood, but I found it entertaining. If it were realistic it would have been about questionable FIA governance and bizarre race stewardship, but of course it was sponsored by them as an advertisement to expand their viewership and the casual fan doesn't go that deep. I thought RUSH was a much better F1 movie, which had it's own flaws, but I don't expect these people to make documentaries.

Rush was good, as was Senna and Ford vs Ferrari.
Mind, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was the best doco style motor racing films.

Speaking of racing movies. Has anyone else seen the comparison of The Fast and The Furious with Point Break?
An undercover law enforcement officer infiltrates a tight-knit, adrenaline-junkie subculture. He befriends the charismatic leader of the group. He falls for a girl with a close relationship to the leader. The authorities close in during a final high-stakes heist, and at the end, the cop lets the criminal leader go and gives him the means to escape.
Its the same movie, just surfboards or cars.

@WhiskeySandwich haha - that's gold! I love that.
Point Break did it better though
Be interesting if they re-made Point Break with John Wick instead of Johnny Utah. I bet Wick could surf like a ninja.
