"A Sunday In Hell" Paris-Roubaix

I found a copy of Breaking Away online, in French! That kinda makes it even more awesome. I might watch it anyway even though my French is piss poor. I've seen it before anyway so I know what's going on, sort of.

Yeah, moser catching the breakway, flying along with his body completely still and horizontal. fantastic.

i bets hops sat in the back row at the cinema !!! ;-)

kin great film...loved it. Eddy merckx has OCD though.

Was fantastic...

Did anyone pick up why Merckx missed the break?

No, which I found a bit unsatisfying. The commentator just said something like "...which Merckx inexplicably missed..".

Maybe there was an explanation in French or Italian or Flemish?

I thought that it was strange that he was leading the chase so hard, following the two man 'decoy' breakaway.

Towards the end of the film, he had a large sticking plaster on his elbow - I was wondering if he had crashed...

he had that at the beginning, when they stopped for a strike and he measured up the bike.

Merckx was way past his top by 1976. Most of his big victories including the 5 tours were from before 1976.

Milan San Remo in 1976 was pretty much his last big win..

I was just on the itbox in the bar- and a question said:
At which sport did Eddy Merckx excel?
It was exciting.

that was a great movie. i think i would have rather raced in the rain than in all that dust; that just looked like a bitch to breathe in. i also didn't realize that moser was coming into his prime around then.

when the lot of us were leaving the theater i heard this:
middle-aged woman 1: [scoffing] couriers
middle-aged woman 2: well what did you expect?

as far as i know, no one in the group of us that went did anything to get in these people's way. i found it amusing.

awesome, finally, after years of trying, i get mistaken for a courier.

i'm saving the courier principle for the old ladies at the bfi. baudrillard would love me.

fakenger till i die!

when the lot of us were leaving the theater i heard this:
hippy: [scoffing] check out those slags.. bound to be cheap at their age
kilgore_trout: bagsie the one with the blue rinse

:-)

hey man, you gotta be assertive in your dibs, otherwise you get the uggos or seconds.

were you there, hippy?

Yes, but I can turn myself invisible at will, so you probably didn't see me.

but you might have felt his invisible touch....
