*sigh* Good morning, lovelies and happy March. It’s getting harder to be positive about the future, but know that you’re loved and needed. Hold close to your friends and family; we will muddle through somehow.

And more non-fiction about our subject:

Final film of the night: one of the more notorious skating incidents. Here’s a film that’s as much about narratives and perspectives as the event itself. It’s “I, Tonya”, with Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, and Allison Janney.

While we’re still in the 1988 Olympics, there was a parallel story happening. A young man who didn’t qualify for the summer Olympics decided he was going to be the first British ski jumper in six decades. Here’s “Eddie the Eagle”, featuring Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, and Christopher Walken.

Lasagna OK. It’ll be better tomorrow once it settles.

A little more about the team…

Moving into the future, we turn to the 1988 Olympics where another team is looking for a miracle: the Jamaican bobsled team. Featuring the jovial John Candy, it’s “Cool Runnings”.

And because I’m enjoying providing context today, here’s more information on “The Miracle on Ice”.

That was short but this next film makes up for it - we zoom forward 8 years to the 1980 Olympics where the US faced off against the powerhouse USSR hockey team. Here’s “Miracle”, in the “Thrill of Victory”.

Next in our Olympic journey, we move on to the Werner Herzog documentary about a skier who gained glory but never lost his zen. It’s “The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner”, here at “Thrill of Victory”.

I’m not a big fan of colorization, but for items like this, I think it would be good to help the audience feel closer to events. Also, an English set of intertitles wouldn’t hurt. 🙂
It’s still amazing to see places and people from nearly 100 years ago. Film is, in its way, magical.

To start out, we’re headed to 1928 for a film that was thought to be lost. It’s mainly silent, but where it’s not, consider it lo-fi Olympics. It’s “The White Stadium”

Greetings and welcome to the February #stoatsview film fest celebrating the Olympics, “Thrill of Victory”. We’ll be watching them in chronological order of events (and where the events overlap, in order of when the film was made.) Let’s begin…

A morning chipmunk finding a place to hang out away from prying eyes
Spring’s definitely on its way as our local possum (early early morning) and a chipmunk (reasonable morning) both were caught on camera out and about near the cat box.

I’m actually psyched about tomorrow’s fest. With a winter sports theme, I found the first documentary approved by the Olympics committee (The White Stadium, 1928) and a Werner Herzog doc with the best name (The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner) 😁
