If you haven't traveled extensively or done business or political transactions with others in different countries - well, its hard to get a reading on what people are really like.... My guess (okay hope) is that someone like Endless Loop goes out and does a bit of traveling to these places. It is eye opening...

100% -- & it has nothing whatever to do with stupidity. Just exposure, as you say. I was in Pakistan & India a bunch of time, trying to get a tech project going, about a quarter century ago. Have a ton of stories maybe I'll tell in another thread....

Yes, & the current woman's movement for change, led & pushed by young women, is incredible -- brave &, in the long run, will be effective.

Moreover, Iran is a deeply cultured country. E.g. the greatest contemporary filmmakers of the last 30 years are Iranian -- & you can get most of their films on Amazon Prime. Robert De Niro is a familiar name, right? He's a big fan:



My favorite Kiarostami fillms include:

Ten
The Wind Will Carry Us
Taste of Cherry
Certified Copy
Like Someone in Love

For anyone practicing any are, especially film of course, this book, Lessons With Kiarostami, is an incredibly valuable book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1942782004?

Kiarostami died of cancer in 2016, alas. His amazing last film, 24 Frames, can be seen on youtube. It's experimental. I find it mesmerizing:


My favorite filmmaker working today is the Iranian Jafer Panahi -- his latest film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes a few weeks ago.

Panahi is banned from making films in Iran, but he makes them anyway! He's been in prison twice, but he keeps making movies. Watch Tehran Taxi or any of his other film; they're all wonderful. Pretty much all on Amazon Prime.

I've hijacked this thread long enough; sorry.


I don’t mind you bloviating when you’re complimenting my people

Have you seen this one?

You can find the full film on YouTube.

No, but I'll check it out.

Stop acting like people don’t have a reason to be pissed.


Who's acting like that? Everyone knows we lost the trade at least here and now, I think some people are hyperventilating over how good he is, but that doesn't change it was a lost trade at least in the present, it also doesn't change that the player himself was not helpful to the long term interests of the franchise in the same way tanking was without him. Maybe that's just my opinion, but I just watched him play a great season in Portland and it meant ---- all to Portland's aspirations to actually be good, and Portland has a better roster than ours, so what good was he actually going to be here long term without the addition of multiple star level players? I would bet there's a HUGE chance we lose the '26 first, and fail to move the needle above a 30-40 win team the next half decade. That is where we've been the past 45 years and is nowhere.

Everyone has their price, I wonder what it would take to get him from the Blazers? I would be very surprised if they traded him.


Now they have picks to get it done if they are serious.

Has anyone heard a word about Brogdon? Why was he allowed to just expire for nothing? Is he toast - will he even be in the league next season?

I know he's a UFA, but lot's of teams would welcome an ambulatory Brogdon...if such a player still exists.

The Wizards won't be resigning him at anything near his current salary, so he will be an unrestricted free agent. My guess is that someone will offer at least the taxpayer MLE for him. The guy is made of glass though.
