The Fall, a 2006 remake of 1981's Yo Ho Ho, is a beautiful, funny, sweet, melancholic movie about human frailty, connection, and resilience.
A love letter to the movies, and homage, like The Stunt Man, to the stunt performers who have always helped movie magic seem real, often—and still—at great personal cost.
Catinca Untaru is delightful, opposite a baby-faced Lee Pace.

Shot the annual Shiny Side Up bike and car show in San Jose yesterday... no, it's not that kind of bike show.
This is a very Northern California kind of show. It's a low rider "cruiser bike" and low rider car show with other kinds of bike and bike related celebrations included.
One of those bike celebrations are BMX stunt performances. I'll have additional photos from the show coming soon, but some of the BMX shots are just too fun not to share.

Small note about stage combat with swords: it must _appear_ you are attacking the person, and they are attacking you, not that you are hitting or aiming for their sword.
Just saw the umpteenth fight where they were clearly waiting for parries before starting attacks, and that’s not the story.

I think Tom Cruise now can top this image again. By doing the same exact thing, while there are rockets from Iran flying everywhere.

🐑 Wow, another #AI model offering "freebies" to open-source maintainers, because we all know they have endless free time to play with Claude's 20 maxed-out #PR #stunts. 🙄 It's basically a "try before you buy, but please just buy" strategy, wrapped up in as many sales pitches as possible. 💸

"Sometimes it's not the risk itself you need to worry about. It's what you do to prepare for the risk that does you in." - Futurist Jim Carroll
One day, a few years ago learned that my biological grandfather died in 1925 in a stunt-motorcycle accident - on an Indian motorcycle, nonetheless - after he rode his 'show' which was known as the "Wall of Death." Not only that, but his death appears to be due to a malfunction of the front fork of the Indian motorcycle he rode to perform the 'death-defying stunt' - only to have that front fork fail as a result of the modifications that he likely did himself necessary to perform the stunt!
That means, he didn't die from the inherent risk that came from participating in a wildly dangerous carnival stunt - it came from the careful preparation! And so sometimes it's not the risk itself that gets you, but what you've done to prepare for the risk that does you in.
How's that for the opening line to a blog post!
Let's dig in! Today is a good day to share the story - after sharing the story of what I learned about my dad in World War 2, once I obtained his war records, I thought I would once again dig into my history. The essence of the story is this: my biological grandfather on my dad's side, an American citizen, was actually a stunt motorcycle rider - and it cost him his life. I only discovered the whole story and my genetic relatives a few years ago, due to the connective power of DNA tracing.
What follows below is what I found and what my long-lost relative found. Once I had all that information, I fed a lot of the news articles and background below to Gemini AI, and then built two slide decks that tell the story. I do this for ultimately sharing with my grandchildren, so that the legacy might live on.
An interesting angle? The analysis concluded, from its research, that it was likely the modifications to the front fork were what caused his tragic accident:
The backstory? Growing up, I always knew that my original name was not Carroll, but Morrell. I knew my dad lost his dad at the age of 3, and that he was raised by his mom and stepfather. Beyond that, all I ever knew was that he had died in a motorcycle accident.
Fast forward to December 2018, when, through a DNA match, I began to find the real story.
To make a long story short, by the very next morning, I was standing at the grave of my biological grandfather with my long-lost 2nd cousin Ken Keeley of Norwich. He had, some months earlier, taken the time to do all the research that I had never managed to do, such as finding my grandfather's gravestone. He, too, had grown up hearing the mysterious stories of a great-uncle who met an untimely end.
What a story it is! When we met, Ken had unearthed some photos ... including this one of my grandfather at the "Metro Bro's Silo-Drome" which features "The Most Reckless, Death Defying Stunts." My grandad is on the far left.
The wording on the Silodrome itself says it all:
"Don't miss it, so hazardous and blood-curdling. Death-defying stunts or satisfactory money refunded."
Read the rest of the post for this fascinating story!

Holy cow! ... I never realized STUNTS had an MT-32 soundtrack! This is quite a different beast compared to the old IBM PC Speaker. Of course, I knew about Adlib and Soundblaster. But not this! :blobfearful:

Here's a brand-new 3.5 inch dump of the game STUNTS for IBM-PC and DOS from 1991 including KryoFlux streams, IMG sector images and 600dpi scans of both diskettes. This disk set differs a bit from the one I previously uploaded.
