I wish it could be a mix between an action-RPG, a road movie and Entourage, with all the world building being done with the radio and the buddies babbling. It probably will not be as extreme as that, but it still looks very refreshing.

Isn't he from Chechnya or something?

I have not seen the tv show, but I can vouch for the brilliance of the manga. The close future / hardish science setting is also a big plus and sadly too rare. Did someone mention Monster already? It's like The Fugitive through a contemporary Europe haunted by the ghosts of WWII / Cold War...

Also... unless I missed it, there is no such thing as blood transfusion, making it remarkably easier for patients to just bleed to death! EDIT: Probably spoilerish as it may end up in the narrative, but it's medical history. Blood transfusions existed from the early XIXth century, but it...

Dont russians do overdubs too? That is, over the sound of the movie, you have a single guy translating all the lines in a neutral tone. I wonder if when you get used to it you can mentally block that voice over in the same way you don't realize you are reading subtitles in a subbed movie. A few...

I am not sure really (99% of my torrenting is TV shows!) I'll get back to you on that, because I have a friend who downloads a lot of off the beaten path movies. If crappy quality is not an issue, there is a surprising amount of stuff on youTube (I even saw a version of Pee Mak earlier with...

It should be mentioned that it's based on a very popular folk tale, so as such there are number of thai movies on the same subject. I can't vouch for the quality of any of the others. I thought it was worth adding that because youTube is suggesting a video of a full pee mak movie, except it's...

It made $18 millions domestic + $13 millions foreign in South East Asia, Hong Kong and China (a movie like Hunger Game made a bit above $3 millions in Thailand). Box Office Mojo does not have the budget of the film and even if it did it would require cost of living adjustments to have a sense of...

Yeah man. Black Coal Thin Ice is so shit it won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival (you know, the top price at one of the three most important film festival in the world?) and I am such the pretentious aesthete that I put it next to Peek Mak which is the highest grossing film in the...

What's with the retard level on these boards lately? Do you want help finding Denmark on a map? Should I google Sils Maria for you? 5 of the 6 great movies I saw this year are asian? Boo fucking hoo, I wonder if it's related to the fact I saw 50+ recent asian movies at a festival back in Spring...

Canadian imperialism?

This picture is a total misrepresentation: I don't drink wine! More seriously it's hard to make more mainstream than Venus Talk, it's really a polished well flowing film with an all star cast. The trailer focuses on the comedy though. Think of it that way: Edge of Tomorrow is great...

For reference, I really enjoyed this movie and gave it three out of four stars. But I saw this year several 4 stars movies (in alpha order): Black Coal, Thin Ice: a chinese post-noir. Blind: a danish psychological drama about a blind woman who imagines stories and fantasizes all day long...

I almost convinced myself the answer was Gemma Ward, but then i put them side by side and a doubt subsists...

I kinda liked Legacy. I am not too keen on the secret service within the secret service within the black op that tries to kill its own agents thing BUT I liked the pacing of the movie and how its events were woven with the events of Ultimatum. Which brings me to my point: Damon being in doesn't...

Saw that the other day. It left me a bit unsatisfied. It feels a bit like Linklater is afraid of his own project as he is very aware the potential for false 'good ideas' is pretty high and that trying to save the movie with editing and reshoot is not an option without a time machine. As a...

Bought the US Open Day Session shirt of Stan Wawrinka... there must be a Fedor / 'americans are fat' / 'japanese are racists' joke in there.

Regional train underground station, Lausanne, Switzerland. Grey day at Montbenon park, Lausanne, Switzerland. Lake L?man.

I dug up my crappy digital camera this week-end (still better than the one of my vintage dumb phone) and thought I could dump here some of the pictures I rediscovered in it. Tokyo, Meiji Jingu entrance. Could be a good album cover for some prog rock / idm project...

Federer closed the deal in three sets against Fognini (and its better than way because the italian was playing very very well in the third) to book Switzerland's spot in the final for the second time in the long history of the event (the first time was in 1992 against the USA that then fielded a...

Creepy Castle by dopterra Kickstarter An acquaintance is doing this exploration / somewhat action-rpg thing, ZX Spectrum style! Monochrome sprites and no superposition! Check it out of it's your thing.

After the double matches, France is through to the final as Tsonga and Gasquet beat the super excellent Berdych-Stepanek duo (their two Davis Cup crowns were gained thanks in no small part to how efficient this pairing has been over the years). Apparently, Berdych played very poorly and in spite...

Isn't the poll all kind of screwed up relative to its objective since it is not gender specific?

My almost 10 year old digital camera proved to be a little too crappy to take decent pictures from my seat (a tad too far + artificial light). But here is one of Bolelli and Federer warming up: The italian played a very good match, forcing Federer into backhand to backhand rallies or...

I have a friend who works for the internal shipping department of a multinational company. The cheapest and most reliable way they found for stuff to reach their russian based branches is to send it three times. Relevant to the thread, because it also involves multiples.

Other than John Rambo?

Davis Cup Week-End! France vs Czech Republicat Roland-Garros, the grounds of the French Open. Amusingly, a tennis stadium was first built on these grounds for the Davs Cup final of 1928! Berdych is playing for this tie and a ailing and aging Stepanek has been replaced by the somewhat...

I hear it's not against the EULA to play with clean hands or to clean the controller once in a while.

It should be mentioned that banks and investors shying away from a potentially independent Scotland is not indicative that an independent Scotland will fail in their eyes, it just means there is uncertainty, which is something most banks and investors shy away from.

I had to used the advanced search function to dig this one out from page 987243! Anyway: indies! Secrets of Raetikon: You play a bird in a 2D game about exploration + physics puzzles + avian fights. Pretty neat visuals, but I found just about everything else lacking. A testament to that is...

It has to do with the Tanks / Ballot boxes ratio. About the Euro question, I'll let an economist fill the specifics, but I think it's a package that comes with good and bad things (probably more of the former) and, unsurprisingly, the good is quickly forgotten when the bad happens...

I think it's poem. Pedo: Deep poop, dope pee.

Nishikori did not play his best, but Cilic played another full match. Some unforced errors here and there, sure, but he served well enough for those to be of little consequence. Like Federer in semi, Nishikori had some opportunities but did not make the best of those. Would it have been another...

History time. For shit and giggles I wanted to check how rare a grand slam final between the 10th and 14th seed is and the answer is... pretty damn rare. I checked from 1980 onward and it did not happen in the US Open. The best I could find for the Australian Open were a Safin (9) vs...

I don't know if it's still true, but CDs used to be ridiculously expensive in Japan, so foreign artists often included exclusive tracks or swag in the Japanese versions of CDs to limit importation from the US. As a result you have music aficionados around the world that import these Japanese...

It seems pretty tough to accuse him of being a racist considering it's only when he investigated as to why they sold fewer season ticket than other franchise that he realized the audience was overwhelmingly black. Also he qualifies the unsubstantiated claims that the arena and its surroundings...

Federer did not play the best or cleanest of matches, but Cilic played an incredible match. The serving quality was expected, as was the rock solid backhand, but this returning quality and the very consistent depth and weight of shots preventing Federer to mix things up was astonishing. And so...

Zombikori? Nishizombie? He played well and managed the match brilliantly, but you must say Djokovic helped him more than a little with a surprisingly high level of nervousness resulting in a number of tight looking shots. I guess Nishikori finding a way to hang in there in the third, not...

I decided to play Bastion before buying Transistor and was extremely underwhelmed by the gameplay after a couple levels. My question then is two-fold: should I soldier through Bastion because it delivers further in on the story front (past the amusing narrator trick)? Is there a chance for me to...

Am I right to assume labor day week-end messed with the schedule? As in, ep4 has not been broadcasted yet?
