Daredevil's long take hallway fight scene really made me appreciate that type of shot. The scene just hits different when it's choreographed to be done in a single take. It's what made me love the John Wick movies.

Also, once you realize it's supposed to be a single shot scene, it becomes really evident when they use hidden cuts to make it feel like a single shot. The most obvious is when someone or something temporarily blocks the camera.

I agree with the idea of small communities being interconnected with a massive distribution of public transit. I would love to walk everywhere from my daily necessities, but still making it easy to get to larger social centers for other needs. I think that should be the goal we strive for as a society.

Not what I said, but go ahead and make your absurd conclusions. Just for the record, I'm 100% for public transportation, EVs, renewable energy, and getting off the fossil fuel tit.

If we're ever going to pull people along the path to that future, we have to accept and acknowledge the exceptions. Not all the time, but don't ignore it like most articles I've read on the topic. I believe division occurs when people feel they are being ignored.

You summarized perfectly the problem I see with the "fuck cars" crowd. They never acknowledge the need for cars in some cases. America's population centers are definitely large cities where public transportation SHOULD be championed, but there has to be an acknowledgement of the rural population (around 15% in America I believe) where cars are a necessity.

I enjoyed it, but did have mixed thoughts about it. It's a good "whodunit", I liked the main character, and the setting was unique, but didn't really understand the appeal of her love interest or his character in general.

One funny thing I noticed is they did a really good job of being realistic about how hacking could actually be accomplished, but on the flip side sounded like a CSI episode any time they talked about it. Like "you hack?", "my hacks are really good", "she's a top tier hacker".... etc....

Look up how she made his son buy back his own letters between him and his father.

Should a port scan by a bad actor be considered multiple hacking attempts or a single hacking attempt?

Another way to think about it: if a burglar tries various windows and doors to find an unsecured opening, is that considered multiple burglary attempts or a single burglary attempt?

Thanks for clarifying.

Can't wait to see the Karl Jobst update video for this.

Hahaha, love that you came with receipts. People are extremely shortsighted sometimes and think surviving a few bad years means they'll be around for a while. Companies can take a while to fail and can limp along for years before finally being sold off.
