I love this insight / reflection...
"My best ideas when it's not actually in an edit in front of the computer or watching material normally come in my transitions. Like it's on the subway just thinking about what transpired or I see something that triggers an idea. Recently like we've been traveling a lot and I had this one car ride. I was with my daughter and she fell asleep and in those two hour I had more ideas about what I want to do next than what I've had in six months." -Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi

I work in idea generation, and my experience is similar. I could consider visiting ST one of my "transitions" where a good idea might emerge or intensify.
...
At this point, as of today, I'd be very surprised if the gang did NOT win the oscar.

Yeah, how ironic / incredible to hear Alex describing something - an event or an experience - as surreal.

I bet this will be bootlegged all over the place.
You people are so clueless.
It's been in the wild already for free ......

re: Croft Honnold exchange in movie, posted about way way way up thread somewhere
So I just had the opportunity to watch Free Solo again at home from the comfort of my couch, and I gotta say today's impression regarding the Croft Honnold exchange is exactly what I recalled after watching the movie the first time. Peter's interaction was perfect, spot on, imo. Let me say again, I thought it was perfect, a class act, from a true climber who's been there with decades of wisdom.

So I can't speak for anyone else but I actually got more from the film watching it at home, where I could pause, rewind, etc at leisure, than in the theater. But still glad I saw it in the theater too.
this is great in HD & sweet!
Ditto.

Alex sure looks uncomfortable in a tux.
A trailer from I Bring What I Love by Chai Vasarhelyi. This film shows another side of Islam plus if you like Youssou Ndour's music it is essential.

RBG never struck me as the kind of movie one would need to see again!
I wouldn't drive 130 mi to see RBG in an IMAX theatre.

Nice links, MGuzzy...
Here's a interesting article about Alex dealing with the awards season and a different kind of celebrity. Oh and Jared Leto too.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/rock-climbing-free-solos-alex-honnold-jared-leto-1186744
"Though he's avoided the big-time exposure that comes with big-time sports brands, Honnold will almost certainly make seven figures this year and next. Says his manager at RXR Sports, Jonathan Retseck, "For rock climbing, that's pretty good.""

Has any of you seen Peter Jackson's documentary on World War I, "They Shall Not Grow Old"? Nothing compares to it.

Sorry for hijacking the thread... but "They Shall Not Grow Old" was outstanding. If you have any interest in seeing the past brought back to life, and get a chance to see it, do so.

Ultimately there's no real free solo.
Because there's there's always the eternal rope of consciousness connected to every living being .......
