Was thinking about the movie Rush recently. Saw it back in the fall of 2013. Was unusual. Not the movie. Was unusual that I saw a movie. I often don’t see movies. Instead, if I hear a lot of references to a particular movie, I’ll go read the synopsis on IMDB so I know what’s going on if people are talking about it. Unless it’s a movie I really want to see. In that case, I still probably won’t see it, but I won’t read the synopsis just in case I one day do see it. I’m aware that this is odd behavior.
Anyway, I liked Rush when I saw it. I thought it was a great movie. I like most movies I see, though, and again, I don’t see that many. I checked Rotten Tomatoes, and it seems to view the movie positively, if scores in the high 80’s are positive (and again, I really wouldn’t be the one to know), so I do feel like I probably viewed Rush comparably to most who saw it. But now I’m wondering:
What does the F1 world think of Rush? Does it like it? How big a deal are James Hunt and Niki Lauda in the sport’s history? If I start dropping references to each in F1 blog posts, would that be good? What if I dropped references to them and absolutely no other historic drivers?
Answer my questions, F1 world. My curiosity is piqued.
Needed one or two more bears. I lost interest about 75min in, when I realized there wasn’t going to be more bears.
