Casiusco

Good morning, everyone.

Yesterday I started watching ‘Night Sky’ on Prime Video. It's not usual to start a series that you know has been cancelled, and that has no continuity, but the cast and the very good reviews aroused my curiosity.

I like what I've seen. But I understand why they cancelled it: a story about two old people, one with health problems, the other starting downhill, who have their ailments and their problems, even in a sci-fi context, calmly posed reflecting their day-to-day lives, is usually poison for the box office, and for viewership.

Why?

Because in today's culture people don't like to see where we are going, they prefer to ignore it. In fact, even when they are young they prefer to ignore everything ugly, and go for a synthetic, apparent, commonly accepted beauty.

The beauty of two old people in bed, after he has had to carry her up the stairs, after he has forgotten to pick her up in the doctor, while he falls asleep singing her to sleep... is a kind of beauty that is not appreciated today.

Something similar happened with ‘Vortex’, a magnificent film, by the way the only one in which Dario Argento is an actor, but which showed an uncomfortable reality.

Even so, that these two grandparents and their problems... have a secret entrance that allows them to travel to another planet light years away from this one, seems to me to be a fantastic idea. And to narrate it without stridency, with serenity, at the calm pace at which they live their lives now, is different and at the same time very interesting.

Let's see what the next chapters are like. 

Have a nice day, Psychos!!

The weekend is an illusion, you think it's there, but it's moving away, away,....

When I grab it, I don't let go.

But, but what happens to us older married folks at the raucous party 🎉 🎈 🎊 🤔 👴 👵 

 

 

 

  

 

I hope I don’t get got peeking 🫣 🤭 

 

They will be the first to drink, and point the way.

We Psychos have a lot of respect for older people, and for experience.

Until they are all drunk we will not start, as a sign of admiration. 

In the end, the party will be an unforgettable experience for them. Even necessary...

But, but how many will this happen to 😆 

 

 

 

All of them.

Why?

Think about it.

A bunch of people far away from their country, free, where nobody knows them, in their best suit, at a party, with lots of free booze, and the girlfriend and boyfriend's friends around.

What could go wrong?

No psycho will leave the party sober.

Be sure

PS: And maybe not only the Psychos.

A unforgettable wedding party for three families: the groom's, the bride's, and the Psychos.

But @Casiusco what about our other guests 🤨 

 

 

  

 

  

 

The rest, as long as there is alcohol available, will not give much trouble.

Do you manage this GB?

Are there different sizes to choose from or is it a single model?

Is the shade of red the same as the MP gloves, so we can use them together?

Will it arrive in time for the summer holidays?

And above all, isn't there going to be a lenticular version with 3D effect?

Thanks for your support!

I had never thought about it, but maybe we in the community are neglecting the possibility of a great business, a niche market not properly served: 

If someone wants to get married, we can open a GB.

GBs for flirting!

The invention of the 21st century!  

Or do singles meetings / conferences on the @Veum island ....

If there were to be a wedding, it'd more likely be between a German member and a French member.

 

We should be careful about how we place our guests...

I have no doubt that it would be a very noisy wedding...

The Germans would want to start on time...

The French who don't arrive on time...

During the dinner there might be some "small" discussions...

nothing... exchanges of no great significance...

but in the end it was sure to end well

And everyone says goodbye with kind words and best wishes: 

And they were happy and had a happy meal!!!

Before I lead anyone on, I'd like to point out that this is purely a bromance.

 

Nothing more, nothing less. 😄

Really?

Are you sure?

But joking aside, it is a pity that there is no wedding in this community. It would be fun, and a good time to get to know each other.

Imagine that. Ummmm....

Wedding with guests from 8 or 10 countries, married by a moderator or by the boss, and as a gift... a UHD Club full of postcards signed by the Psychos.  😍

Food, booze, dancing, and the typical discussions about which would burn better, a HDZeta or a Mantalab. 

Lots of BS taken on the tables, and the rest of the friendly guests delighted to meet us. Who knows, maybe one wedding will lead to another.

You know very well that the @extantsrevenge messages box is getting full of requests from people asking him not to publish BS so that you continue publishing yourselves.... right?

Psychos!    

I have watched both seasons of this series back to back.

They are independent seasons, with different stories, and set in different times, but they share the same tone linked to the everyday life of black characters in local realities developed in environments where whites rule, linked to racism but also to the psychosis or neurosis of people regardless of their race, and to horror stories that find their raison d'être in a stylised and intelligent mix of all of the above.

The first season tells the story of a black family who move to a very white, slightly posh neighbourhood in Compton in the 1950s. The clash is evident from the start, but everyone there has a past, and everyone is dragging their own stones. 

By the way, in the penultimate episode they do a little imitation of the already mythical Eighth Chapter of the third season of Twin Peaks, and, without going so high, they manage to do something very interesting.

The second season tells the story of a murder investigation, almost doing a little imitation of "True Detective" dressed up as "Them" and its tone, but it soon veers towards that suffocating and terrifying tone that we found in the first season.

I liked it a lot, I had a great time watching it, and, although the first season is better known, I had an even better time with the second.

The most striking thing for me has been the narrative tone that the creators have achieved, mixing social racism with a certain taste for people's mental problems, and an elegant but sometimes forceful horror that keeps you easily attentive. All this seasoned with a very careful staging, an aesthetic very of its time, and a very intelligent tempo when developing the stories, but, more important here, its characters.

🤠 back from a buddy trip and the wifey joined us, we went to the town of “the hick from French Lick”

 

 

French Lick Resort 😍

 

  

 

What a great player!

There are no players like that anymore. So talented, understanding the game so well, being so intelligent with the ball in his hands, and with so many technical resources.

Unfortunately, young players nowadays are more focused on the gym than on training to be someone like that.

Also, Bird always struck me as a guy with a very honest, even elegant demeanour.

It's funny: back when to be elegant you didn't have to wear Armani suits, a lot of jeweller, or have I don't know how many additions jumping around on the court. 

Next time you're there, give him my regards!!!  

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday I finished watching the second season of "Them" and I liked it a lot. And it's not often.

It's not that I'm very demanding or not, but that lately -in this war of platforms- there are more and more series and less and less quality, or that's the impression I get.

The lists of series to watch are endless, but then you watch them, and they don't contribute anything special; it's as if the golden age of TV has ended again, and now all that's left is "filler".

There are some very good series, but in my opinion there are fewer of them than before. Too often I end up with a certain feeling of inconsequence, of having watched one like when you eat that food that takes away your hunger but you don't particularly enjoy it either.

I liked this one. It's not one of my favourites, but I didn't think it was just another one. 

Anyway, maybe I'll start another one today. Although right now I'm more in the mood for movies than another series.

Have a nice day!

@Veum

 

🎵 When will you say 'yes' to me?

 

Tell me Quando, Quando, Quannnnnnndooooo... 

@Veum & @Fortis93 going to their island:

If you are going to have a romantic moment, and you want to be alone, the rest of us can get in the boat and go out to sea for a while.

Just let us know.

Another very famous film that deserves a very special, very freaky, very collector's edition. 

In fact, it would be perfect for a wooden chest, with a magnifying glass or a fac simile of glasses, some scrolls, a letter signed by the director, and the discs inserted in a fake book from the Middle Ages.

Good afternoon!  

Don't forget that it's easy: we just have to survive until Friday.

;) 

Dear Psychos, I hope your Monday is not hard.

Today I have been thinking about the editions I would like to take, and I said to myself: I have to think about it calmly.

In another time I would have jumped into the pool without looking, and I would have bought almost all of them. 

Am I getting old?  

Have a nice day!

I would so much like to have a collector's edition of this movie.....

And in 4K it has to look great.

If there is only a steelbook, something is something, but then Creator Era have to start thinking about movies that doesn't have a Collector's Edition, it's a good opportunity.

And how much did Real pay to the referees ? 😄

Sorry but the behaviour of the referees in the overtime a) to raise the flag for offside much too fast and b) to blow the whistle on the situation immediately are not only ignorance of the official rules. It just stinks. But thats soccer. As enough people already say that soccer matches are just bought if necessary, from whomever.

By the way...

Another very interesting issue is that of goalkeepers when Real Madrid need to win.

Karius in the final 2018:

Donnarumma two years ago Quarter-finals:

And yesterday Neuer...

It's always the goalkeeper who gives the ball to the striker... always... year after year...

What is the mathematical possibility that all this together is always a coincidence?

If it's clear to us that the referees do part of the work for them in key games when needed.... 

How many Champions Leagues have they won due to a clear refereeing mistake and/or a bizarre goalkeeping error?

Perhaps Neuer's is the only one that can be excused...

I don't remember the year they won without anything strange in a game where they had been struggling. None.

I would wish you to rest... but I will not.

Don't rest, it's Friday.

Keep the flag flying high. 

Don't forget you are Psychos, and this is the German thread.

Leave the quiet life to us.  

And yes, as unbelievable as it may seem to you....

It's Friday again!

Today here we have summer weather, and we have to make the most of it because tomorrow it will get worse and in two days we will be back to winter.

Yes, weather is going crazy. 

Even so, we still miss Mr. Lynch.  We hope to hear from him soon!
