A quote I found in regards to this is:

This is Dean Evans at one of the world's most challenging race tracks at Bathurst in Australia. The conditions are a bit damp, and the other drivers are hesitant to get off the racing line and try the grip there. Dean isn't. He goes for it and the results are impressive.


He's a motoring journalist, and that brilliant footage was from 2005.

p.s. There is a pic on his magazine bio page if you're interested.

Crazy awesome fight scene from THE RAID

Sarzy says...

>> ^shuac:
One question for you, Sarzy. You say this film is a milestone. I'm sure you're right. Can you tell me why this film is a milestone?


Because the fight choreography and direction are peerless; the film's fight scenes easily rival anything that I've ever seen, and I've seen my share of action movies.

Because the critical consensus is that it's an instant classic.

Because it's breaking through into the mainstream more than any martial arts film I can think of since Ong Bak.

Because it is awesome.

Some quotes from reviews:

David Fear -- Time Out: And in terms of beautifully coordinated film violence—the kind involving flying fists and feet, whizzing blades and ballistic superbattles—Gareth Evans’s insta-classic Indonesian crime flick is leagues above every kinetic bullet-ballet and martial arts epic of the past decade. Whether this 31-year-old Welsh director will eventually be mentioned in the same breath as legendary chaos orchestrators like Sam Peckinpah or John Woo remains to be seen. For now, Evans can take pride in the fact that he’s set the bar for cinemayhem impossibly high.

Andrew O'Hehir -- Salon: “The Raid” is a witty, pulse-pounding instant midnight classic, an immediate sensation at the Sundance and Toronto festivals that should appeal to cinema buffs, action freaks and a pretty large mainstream audience besides. It offers some of the best Asian martial-arts choreography of recent years and an electric, claustrophobic puzzle-palace atmosphere that’ll leave you wrung out and buzzed.

Ty Burr -- Boston Globe: Not yet 30, Evans is a master of visceral tension and release. “The Raid’’ repeatedly slows down, gathers force, and rushes forward using all the elements of filmmaking at a director’s disposal: editing’s ability to expand and contract time; the camera’s gift for revealing information through motion and light; a good musical score (by Joseph Trapanese and Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda) that can cue audiences to respond or just play with their heads. At times, “The Raid’’ feels like pure cinema.

Nordling -- Ain't it Cool: Then, there are the action sequences, which are so exquisitely orchestrated that they build like a symphonic suite of pain and kickassocity. This movie builds and builds, each fight even bigger than the one before it. I can't imagine an audience that won't be on their feet for some of them - and the action choreography is damn near perfect, with cinematography to match. Sure, there's some shakycam, but it's only to build the intensity because Uwais and director Gareth Evans have planned each fight so well that it's never confusing, not once. The geography is flawless. The film wisely lays out the building early on, so that you unconsciously understand where everyone is in the building and even in the same room. I haven't seen such confident action direction since John Woo unleashed the doves in THE KILLER and, yeah, HARD BOILED.

Outlaw Occupy: US set to strangle protests with jail threats

westy says...

LOL I love how bias RT is.

there anti captlist messages and the way they structure things is halrouse its like a inversion of fox news.

Still allot of what RT covers is true and its nice to have a different bias view piont on things, one other thing they do which is nice is long interviews without interruptions.

Evan though allot of the pieces they do are totally mental with an obvious agenda it can be quite refreshing , "the real news network" however offers the same thing without the bullshit though and unlike 99% of RT content I dont have to take the information from RNN with a table spoon of salt.

Just make sure your ammo is in a fireproof box in your coal-powered, taxpayer-funded, rolling electroturd.


Are you mental in what way does your comment make sense ?

electric from nuclear coal gas or whatever is as tax funded as the oil people put in cars It might even be the case that oil requires and consumes more tax funding if you include military expenses required to keep oil coming.

electric cars specifcaly might be tax funded projects but evan then when you calculate all involved costs I'm sure its negligible or comparable to the tax oil industry receives or other industries have received for RND.


Also why would it be inherently bad for things to be tax funded? even if electric cars are a bag of shit at this point in time and the technology might be debatable, at least if it did work out it would move america away from international dependencies which is what most conservatives, liberationists and liberals want.

Because you haven't made a coherent point your comment is redundant.

I would rather a kid get all these questions wrong but understand the basics of scientific methadoligy , you can learn facts and history over time as you get older but if you dont understand critical thinking and scentific method then you will litraly fill your brain with shit and evan worse not know the shit from the non shit.


I'd wager that most of those people don't know the scientific method either.

Yeah, I don't think I'd grade those problems the same way. If your brain is "litraly" filled with shit, that is almost certainly going to be your #1 problem.


Evan though you might not like it "Literally" is a word that can and often is used figuratively , The world "Literally" is not damaged by this as it is only ever used in a figurative sense in the context when it would be imposable for it to be taken Literally.

English is a language that is abused and changes over time that's why it has stayed around and why it will keep changing I don't see why people get so offended.

beardy man explains why indie is shit

westy says...

>> ^papple:

He comes across as a bit of dick to me. My choice of music is better than yours, and so on.


Are you mental , It is clear from his presentation that he is not retarded and its a given that ultimately everyone has a subjective taste in music. Its also the case that some ganras require little thought or effort to produce something that will be perfectly acceptable for a comercail record.

This is probably why he says Dubstep is shit evan though he then says he enjoys it.

The thing with Indy which can also make it "SHIT" even if no music is intrinsically shit is the pretence surrounding it its as if the pretence is 70% of the music in some cases.

Other ganras certainly suffer from retarded pretence it just seems to be particualy prominent in more ganras than other.

Thats said There will be lots of Indy Tracks that I'm sure are really good and deviate from the down the line generic formula and lack the idiotic pretence.

If you are performing to a live audeance like with comedians and comedy you are forced due to lack of time to make statements that on the face of it are sweeping and can be interpreted in a pesamistic or optimistic way. If you look at the character of beardy man then in this case it makes more sense to give him the benefit of the doubt.
