Watched it last night. I'm a bit (negatively) surprised how unsympathetic the portrayal of the main character is. For a comparison, I think Tony Soprano character in The Sopranos is way more likeable than Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme. Quite shocked actually, I expected to like the movie version...

What a battle to end game 4.

Moderators are needed in any internet forum, this one is not any exception @Dan. In their absence, ignore functionality can do wonders too :).

I've been reading this thread, a kid has a dream, why so many adults are so eager to tell him his dream is never going to happen? Is that what you guys wanted to hear when you were kids and had your dreams? As for the examples of late bloomers in the world of sports, here is Jalen Brunson for...

I think it was pretty clear without any AI, the ball touched WCQ's chin on the camera view, it was clearly blocked from Jorgic's view.

I don't get it - from the camera angle they showed it was clear that the ball was hidden from Jorgic's view. The camera was below and to the left of Jorgic POV so the ball was not completely hidden from the camera view, but the rule is about the player's view point, isn't it?

This is not an immigration issue, Calderano had no intention to move to USA to live. Someone like Calderano who has to travel internationally for a living, needs to be prepared to check the entry requirements for the countries he is planning to visit. The title of this thread is not correct...

I know its been said already, but still cant believe how monumentally stupid XIOM marketing is looking now. The player you sponsor gets a huge win playing with his namesake blade. Not some other brand blade with a xiom handle, but a genuine xiom. What a marketing opportunity, right? One little...

As Jamie Dimon says, we are not in Kansas anymore. Prices of table tennis equipment should be the least of anyone’s worries, LOL

golden viscaria?

It was a few years ago so I don't remember exactly how much it was. But you can look up the current rates at usps web site - search First Class Mail Large Envelope section. The rate depends on the weight, for example if a blade is ~3 oz and the large padded envelope is another 2 oz, it's a 5 oz...

I did succeed in mailing tt blades as a "large envelope letter" which is cheaper than a parcel. I've bought an envelope padded with bubble wrap, put a blade in it without a box and mailed it. Such a package passes size and weight requirements for a large envelope letter, but fails the "uniform...

Took my daughter to see Finneas' show in Brooklyn last night - kind of liked a few songs too :)

A question for Andrea - these Verdi blades are available at https://sanweisport.com/en/product/blade/expert-carbon/verdi/ for $119. Isn't it a bit too much for the brand known for selling blades in a much lower price segment, like under $50? There are a lot of options available at $100+ from...

Jinxing Wang's style/speed does not seem to bother Kanak one bit.
