I always thought it was interesting that "Back to the Future II" was essentially a bunch of people in the year 1989 pretending that it's 2015 and attempting to simulate what it would be like to live in that year, while "Straight Outta Compton" is essentially a bunch of people in the actual year 2015 pretending it's the year 1989 and attempting to simulate life then. (of course these movies may have been filmed partially before their release year).

Are there any pairs of movies that show each other's actual year like that? For example, Blade Runner is from 1982 but is set in 2019. Are there any biopics or other films that were released in 2019 that are set at least partially in 1982?

Was just checking the ELO ratings and noticed this. He obviously was the youngest player to cross 2600, but even now currently, in addition to being the youngest player in the 2700+ level, it looks like he also is the youngest player at the 2600+ level too, which is just insane if I'm reading it right.

It looks like the second youngest 2700+ player is Prag (EDIT: Kesh actually) who is 20-years-old, and the second youngest player at 2600+ right now is Andy Woodward at 16, who is a full year older than Kaan.

INTERVIEWER: You've actually said that John Stockton was harder to guard than Michael Jordan. Cuz I guess that Stockton wouldn't react to your trash talk at all. He would just look right through you and keep scoring.

PAYTON: Yes. Like a stone face. So, he was very hard for me to guard. And I used to hate going into Utah all the time. I can't deal with that. I have to always focus on him. But it's a difference between him. I got to guard him 94 ft. I got to think about coming off of picks. He throwing passes. He coming back trying to steal basketballs. He always moving. He's taking charges on me. He doing a lot of things. He only played 34 minutes. That's what Jerry Sloan played him. And then when you look up, he shot the ball 10 times. He made eight. He shot seven free throws. He made all seven. Next thing you know, you look up, he got 16 assists. Then you think about it and you say, "Dang, he got five, six rebounds." Yeah.

INTERVIEWER: Who is the hardest person that you had to defend in your entire career?

ROSE: I hated dudes that acted like they were real point guards. Like Rondo. You know, legit point guards that didn't care about scoring and you couldn't phase them by how much you scored cuz they don't care about that. They care about just winning the game. I hated guys like that because I wanted my scoring to get to you or try to rattle you and it never rattled him. He still played the same way. I could have 30. He still don't care about his points. He's still not trying to score. He's still telling guys how to where to go, how to organize the offense. And it was just a mind game letting me know that "I don't give a fuck about points. At the end of the game, you lost. That's the only thing I care about."

Both these clips are on Youtube but I don't know what the rules are these days about linking there.

I noticed this while listening to a few different clips lately and it seems counter-intuitive since in some ways you'd think the guys who go one-on-one and talk the most trash might be considered the toughest match-ups, but both guys here said the opposite.

Hi all. In boxing, most fans consider Muhammad Ali's 3-round defeat of Cleveland Williams to be the best performance of his career and the epitome of Ali in his prime. So, when they imagine the "time machine scenario" of Ali fighting Tyson or other great heavyweights, it's usually that Muhammad Ali who they assume is showing up.

Along the same lines, I know the best Bobby Fischer was obviously from the candidates matches in 1971. So what was that for Garry Kasparov? I know his peak rating was in 99/00, but that was also when he played Kramnik for the championship. So maybe an earlier time was better?
