  1. A few of these: https://screenrant.com/best-over-the-top-performances-great-actors/
  2. SEIMEI, no question. For me this was the easiest choice out of all of them.
  3. All we need now is the Netflix series
  4. God bless the two of them for providing us with so much entertainment. At this point, it's practically a public service
  5. Except that they expect everyone around their children (coaches, teachers, etc) to make it happen for their kid, too. So it's not just the kid that's under pressure - everyone around them is, also. Here's an article that explains what I mean: https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/a-plea-to-hockey-parents-dont-be-your-kids-worst-enemy
  6. Every time I see it I think 'Imagine being the person Yuzu directs this look at for real ' (as opposed to part of a program)...and then I . The day that happens, whoever the person ends up being, they will not stand a chance in heck, will they? You could almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
  7. Well, the man never met a world record he didn't enjoy breaking...why not go for the longest-ever competitive career, while he's at it?
  8. Yes, you're correct, sorry! Going to go back and edit now to make myself look good.
  9. Well in Nam's case, it seems a lot more likely that his parents couldn't afford to keep sending him there ( to TCC). They're not wealthy, as far as has been reported, and these days Nam works part-time to pay for his skating expenses. I would imagine TCC is pricey. But for Gogolev, I read the same as you, and the same for Tursynbeyeva - her mom decided she should leave. Anxious parents unwilling to wait for a process to unfold naturally, I would say.
  10. If you look very closely, there is a screw upon that wall behind him. Only clue we're going to get. If it's a Robertson, he's in Canada I kid. I am sure there are other countries that have discovered the greatness of the Robertson screw & driver.
  11. Well you know, that doesn't surprise me. I get the impression from the little that I've seen about them that Trusova's parents are what we in Canada would call extreme hockey parents - i.e. extremely pushy about ensuring their children's success in the sport, to the point of being inappropriate. It would not surprise me at all if they were the ones who decided this and approached Plush. Anyway, @Paskud, re 'Eteri leaving Eteri': - at this point, if she did go, who could blame her?
  12. Oh no, we understand perfectly why. Only Yuzu gives us his all, everytime. The others can't compare.
  13. Having clapped my hands raw at four separate FS competitions, this news story feels like vindication.
  14. But that's why it's so perfect. Real seduction should always have an element of playfulness or lightness in it.
  15. That sounds like a tit for tat continuation of the Eteri vs Plush feud to me...
  16. Well, it's always about the right chemistry between coach and athlete anyway. A coach could be an absolute magician but if they and the skater don't 'click', then it's all for naught.
  17. We got this! .... thinking about my flexibility ... thinking about how long it will take to improve my flexibility to Yuzu high kick levels .... just going to modify some choreo now .... Tries Etude with a kick that hovers somewhere around knee level .... We got this - sort of!
  18. Tag yourself - I'm the tall one with burgundy blooms in the upper right.
  19. That's the exact same time as my Zoom workout. No Brian or Tracy for me.
  20. Oh. The only American coverage of PC I watched was Adam Rippon and Leslie Jones &A tiny little bit of Johnny and Tara but otherwise I avoided. I dislike Scott H on general principles to begin with so never watch him
  21. For me the things she's lacking are too glaring, and the intensity only highlights that. So it doesn't create a good image for me. I feel like she's flinging herself across the ice with a lot of effort and zero skill. It's a very immature skating style and although I'm not a skating coach, if I were, and she become my athlete, I would take her right back to the basics and re-teach her everything from scratch, with the goal of building a much better and more elegant skater. Of Eteri's current crop, Kostornaia is the only who I feel skates well enough to deserve her high standing, honestly.
  22. When I compare my experience of watching him back in the day versus my experience of watching Trusova now, I can only conclude that there is an awful lot that she can learn from him in this department.
  23. It's not clear to me that Trusova relies on charisma, I honestly think she thinks just jumping is enough.
  24. Time will tell, in the end. A lot of it is up to the skater, too - the coach can lead them, but can't make them rink...
