I noticed that and think I shall attend as I have never seen it and would be awesome.
(In compensation for no bike I walked to the ocean, which was pretty awesome).

I shall move on to saying "capital".
"A Sunday in Hell" was a most capital documentary. So much so that I have ordered the DVD. I didn't expect it to be so funny, the soundrach of the choir signing "paris", "Roubaix" and "Pavé" is very entertaining, fantastic insight into the race and riders though.
Some Youtube, however I am glad we had the subtitled version.

Also a good demonstration of why earpieces are a good idea. The cars driving up into the peleton are terrifying.

Do we have a bike film thread? because I watched Chasing Legends tonight (HTC centric doc on the 09 tour) and would like to talk about it but only in the correct thread.

Don't think we do. I still need to see this.

Perhaps our mod rename this thread to something more cinematic in nature?

did you see it in IMAX?
― cozen, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
I did not, although I did see it at a beautiful historic beaux-arts style theater that has a massive screen. Not sure if the film was 35 or 70mm but it looked really clean (the sound on the other hand seems pretty muffled and muted at times).

"La Course en Tete"considered to be a finer film than A Sunday In Hellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpEPeU-bdxw

9 Ball Diaries is on NetflixWI

Netflix's TdF Unchained was pretty nice. The storytelling showcasing the intra-team tension between WvA & Jonas and how that became resolved was extremely well done. Also the Jakobsen sidestory was fantastic, seeing his scarred face (and still fresh looking trach scar) and then them replaying the footage really was intense. Love that dude. Powless still bugs me, he beat me a couple times (see the race results thread), also JV is always good for soundbites.

Also I was never big on Team Sky (never really warmed to Wiggins and absolutely detested Froome) but Geraint Thomas comes off very solid and likeable.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 20 June 2023 05:17 (nine months ago) link
been meaning to watch the doc. geraint thomas comes across as a v decent person generally in interviews etc. nice sense of humour, self-deprecating. tough as nails ofc. this was good:https://open.substack.com/pub/derailleur/p/tujci-in-tovarisi?r=3iau3&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=postGeraint Thomas is one of the kindest, most generous people in cycling, full stop. I first met him on the streets of Paris after the finish of the 2021 Tour de France. He stopped by to say hello to me, Richard Moore, and Francois Thomazeau as we ate dinner. He had a nice chat with us as people, not as the press, asked us what we were eating (and drinking), introduced his wife and kid, complained about his soreness and told us he was looking forward to watching Netflix all day when he got home. He didn’t have to do that. Most riders wouldn’t. It is a testimony to his generosity that Thomas is free with his opinions, with his time. His press conferences, those nasty formalities, go long.
