That second half was something else. They were just unstoppable after the goal went in. It was just brutal. In a very impressive way.
The response after the 2nd goal was incredibly impressive alright. They have threats from all over the park, KK just couldn’t live with them.
They scored basically the same point 6 times in a row. Once they'd locked up the half back contest and tired out the Kilkenny corner back they just went into that corner over and over and never missed a shot. Really a masterclass in doing the simple things perfectly and punishing any weakness.
There's some huge players on that Limerick team. Have they been siphoning off forwards from the rugby clubs?
A lot of parallels between the Dublin side of 2014-2020 and this Limerick team. I never got the impression they were even overly concerned that Kilkenny got their noses ahead. Just lifted their work rate as Kilkenny legs tired and the opportunities repeatedly presented themselves. Did nothing spectacular; they were just incredibly efficient and well drilled.
As pickarooney said, they just stuck to what worked and tired Kilkenny out. It was a great shooting display but the effort was done before that. The shooting opportunities were regularly very clear chances that they'd back themselves to nail. The power and fitness had already created the mismatches and space for the shooter.
It's something watching the AI, the culmination of years of effort, pain, commitment and an astonishing combination of skill, strength, athleticism and determination and thinking these lads don't get a penny for it all, then seeing a headline about some unknown Saudi Arabian team offering a billion dollars for Killian Mbappé to flounce about in their Mickey mouse league for one season.
That already exists for young drivers. They can opt to have a tracker fitted to their car and get reduced insurance.
Just saw Oppenheimer. Great film.
Florence Pugh is beautiful!!
RIP Sinead. You opened a lot of people's eyes to the corruption in the church. Besides being a brilliant singer!
How come the GAA final is on now? I thought it was usually on in September.
They moved it a couple of seasons ago to align with the club calendar.
Still feels weird.
Are you sure it wasn't because they were worried about clashing with the RWC 😂
I guess I didn't notice the change in the last couple of years as Dublin weren't in it. I remember it was in December in 2020 due to covid.
Indeed
she didn't look too hot at the british grand prix. have a google.
I believe it went down a bomb......💥
Saw Barbie and it's a lot of fun. No plot so the storyline is filled in with soliloquys but then it doesn't need a plot. The politics are fun and fairly radical by Hollywood standards but my biggest takeaway is that the Bollywoodisation of Hollywood is well under way. Like a few big films in recent years it's structured around musical dance pieces and the soundtrack is excellent.
Im avoiding Oppenheimer for the time being as I remember being burned by Dunkirk which was insufferable and boring. Nolan's biggest talent is marketing dull films. Nothing I've read about Oppenheimer changes my mind about that.
Oppenheimer is Nolans most "linear" movie to date. Its simply a historical piece. Where dunkirk failed is due to it being a series of disconnected vignettes with no real central character, and for this Oppenheimer is completely different. Its all about the central character (who is played fantastically by cillian murphy) and its based around 4 main scenarios (his early life, los alamos, the back room security hearing and the senate hearing)
if you dont like his film making style then you wont like it. His use of sound to create tension and emotion is front and centre here, and he actually expands it to to include a masterly use of silence as well, to punch you in the face with what your viewing.
Its a great movie though, the 3 hours fly by.
Have no interest in Barbie but wouldn't be surprised if I ended up enjoying it. Oppenheimer is the film this year I've been most looking forward to but it arrived just as I plug out from the world for a few weeks so havnt seen yet.
I dunno, I'm struggling to think of too many dull movies from him. I thought Dunkirk was vastly overrated and meandering mediocrity. I can see how people would find Memento dull owing to what a mindf*ck it is.
But generally his other movies are pretty gripping. The Batman trilogy was really good (although not as good as some fanboys make out, I think). Interstellar, The Prestige and Inception are three of the best movies in the last 20 years, in my opinion. I only saw Interstellar recently and thought it was probably his best movie.
I thought Dark Knight Rises' first 45 minuted was fantastic, the Prestige was an excellent caper film but I never bought the idea that it was some sort of epic rumination on technology and competition. I've often found Nolan's fetish for the technical aspects of film making drags his films down and results in a sort of mechanistic experience. Some people love that though. I've seen all the films you mention except for the other two batmen and none of them stayed with me. He gets very good performances from very good actors but there is nothing warm about any of it. I thought memento was an outstanding film and it illustrated his skill and the grasp he has over theme and tone and existential ideas which have appeared again and again. That alone marks him out as a heavy weight.
Tenet was a bit of a mess to be fair. fantastic scope and ambition, but jeez it was like watching a migraine happen in front of your eyes.
I loved Dunkirk. Was impressed with the storyline occurring simultaneously.
Interstellar was good, imo. Nothing brilliant. Batman Begins was my favorite Nolan film.
Yeah, Batman Begins is easily my favourite of the trilogy. While I loved the Dark Knight it had elements of going a bit overboard that TDKR really fell into.
For anyone who abandoned Reddit when Sync stopped working, there's a Sync for Lemmy app up and running now in the playstore.

Jaysus that's bad, I mean it's all because of you that I'm posting. The sweetest thing now would be for you to wait until New year's day, make sure it's a beautiful day, and pride yourself in your mysterious ways.
Ah, not you too???
