The Truman Show It have been years since I last saw this absolute gem of a movie. Had almost completely forgotten how enjoyably camerawork teases the big reveal in the beginning. All those bizarre angles and carefully thought positions. Sadly, this is one of those films you can't experience fully again after seeing it once and learning the plot twist. Still, Jim Carrey is flamboyant as ever, one of his best movies. Ultimate nostalgia trip and, dare I say, feelgood movie. 90's man, that decade seems so comfortable novadays I wonder how modern youth feels about this film, them being grown custom to 24/7 entertainment/surveillance, spy cameras, youtube, Big brother etc...

Finishing up Dunkerque-themed film marathon: Their Finest. During Battle of Britain and London bombings, Ministry of Information's film team starts to make morale-boosting movie about Dunkirk evacuation. Absolutely delightful comedy-drama, proper BBC quality! Though after this I may need long break from this topic Yup, WWII

I think we're talking about two different movies that just happen to have same name

After The Darkest Hour, only logical choice as the follow-up movie was Dunkirk from Christopher Nolan Despite film's proportion -majority of it taking place either on the vast open sea or nearly empty shoreline- at times atmosphere is almost claustrophobic, in the best sense of the term. Nothing too much, nothing too little. Aviation scenes especially were surprisingly ascetic, an welcome exception to other war films (and some of the director's other works...)

The Darkest Hour. Gary Oldman did a great job playing Winston Churchill and for the most parts movie managed to capture his many-sided character. Entertaining historical drama, thought one cheesy, false and downright populist scene in the end nearly ruined the whole film. Prime minister travels in London underground alongside with commoners, small twinkle eyed girl encourages doubtful aristocrat not to negotiate with Hitler but kick some nazi-ass instead *keep calm and carry on intensifies* Historical dramas don't have to be 100% accurate and can embellish things here and there, but c'mon...

'The shipping news' from Annie Proulx. Kinda makes me want to buy fishing boat or small shack on the Newfoundland I can fully understand why author won a Pulitzer for this.

Oh yeah! My favorite exchange-traded fund with Master Limited Partnership asset class has its 10th anniversary! Can't believe how time flies, such a great community, such great memories
Uh oh, what's this? Apparently there's also some goofy cartoon show about talking magical horses with same name...

Just finished 'Kafka on the shore' from Haruki Murakami. Wasn't too impressed at first but after couple hundred pages story won me over. Maybe not quite as good as people praise it to be, but thought-provoking and entertaining nevertheless

Transit (2018). Interesting and promising plot, Franz Rogowski was superb in the main role. Female lead did good job too, but unfortunately for the actress, the character she played was rather unpleasing person. Almost ruined the movie for me Kinda reminds me of Gone girl

Maybe Norway or Denmark? Why not Germany as well. Scandinavia and German speaking countries trains run on time, things are more or less organised and as Todd Howard would say, everything_just_works Though Ireland and Canada wouldn't be bad choices either

Good job! Every time I visit this thread, you seem to have made significant progress. While I liked your earlier drawings too, your lines seem more "relaxed" now -if that makes any sense- as well as your shading. Keep up the good work!

Damn, that's hardcore!

I guess my folks still have a (broken) VCR, though no-one have been using in in decade or so. I have saved some old VHS tapes from my childhood to be digitalised. As some said above, dialogue or even voice actors might change in newer re-releases, it's good to have those old, authentic copies around

Looking stellar as always Do you use somekind of drawing pencil or just normal mouse?

Dang it, this happens every.single.time.
When I'm finally about to sell and get rid of all the old records and cd's I haven't listened in ages that just collect dust, I give them "the one final listen" and end up putting them all back to the shelves!
At this rate I'm gonna need to get bigger flat or rent some extra storage for all the old stuff I'm too soft to throw away.
Curse thee nostalgy!

Southpaw. Hardly an original boxing movie, but rather entertaining nevertheless. Though ending could have been predicted from the very start, movie still had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Soundtrack was great, excellent workout music!

Ooh, I love the vibrant colors!
