RE: Are Sports The Biggest Distraction Ever?
Sure, it worked in ancient Rome already, and it still does now.
In this context, a little movie tip: in case you dont know it, watch the 70s SF movie "Rollerball" with James Caan. It deals with exactly that subject.
I'm excited to watch this now. I haven't seen "Rollerball" before. Thank you
Great old SF classic. When you watch it, keep in mind they had no computer animation at the time, its all done by stuntmen. I hope they had a good health insurance... :)
It's crazy how they used to do stuff isn't it. Is "stunt man" even a job anymore?
Oh yeah, there are still stunt men today. But they do the smaller stunts mainly. Its just a matter of what is the cheaper way to produce a sccene, CGI or SFX. And if its not too crazy dangerous, of course.
Right. So they don't do dangerous stunts anymore. I'm out lol
