I haven’t seen Bugonia yet and I don’t feel really compelled to. Lanthimos, to me, is one of those directors who’s now just repeating the same thing over and over while his best work is far behind his back (in this case, Kynodontas). But since you compared it to one of the best American movies I’ve seen in the last years, I’ll probably give it a shot. Maybe.

An unusual error that I happily stumbled upon was in the Italian translation of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time when I was a kid. At some point, an adult has had enough of the protagonist and exclaims “Bloody hell”, or something like that. Which was translated with outright blasphemy in Italian, for some unknown reason. Maybe the translator wasn’t having it, either. Successive editions, for obvious reasons, have toned the exclamation down.

My grandfather actually made it to 100 just some weeks ago!

Just to be clear, this government isn’t trying in any way to masquerade itself as centre-left. FdI is right wing through and through, it demonizes the left all the time and treats insignificant changes such as this one or occupational rate (obtained through Draconian revision of national contracts) as “real work for the people”, not “like the elitist left”. They are populist, that’s what they are.

I just downvoted you because Scorsese has been a champion of any kind of cinema that matters as an art form. I believe he stated on multiple times that Spirited Away is one of the best film he’s ever seen, so much that he recommended it to Di Caprio as well

Silksong booth but it’s just a switch 2 playing an endless loop of a video of a brigade of clowns laughing at the camera

Pynchon. I know you got a last one in you, Tommy…

I have a better idea: let’s revoke voting rights for people over 65.

What icon set are you using?

Technically, Half Life is correct. Armor, which constitutes half of your entire life points, is also 100, and you don’t have it from the get go.

Thanks!

Hey, at least this year they didn’t get last place!

Big difference between Neo-Cons and the alt-right, though.

I walk practically every day in front of a boba tea shop. Never seen someone go in it, or even clerks behind the counter. The shop is open until 10pm every day.

Realistically speaking, Napoli. While Inter has the better team, they are still in three races to the title (UCL, Serie A, Coppa Italia), while Napoli only has to worry about the last 5 games. Conte is going to wring up his players in the usual way he does.

S-silk… S-silk…

A friend made me just realize that it’s always checkmate in 2. I need to study more chess.

Doesn’t black just need to move Q to F1 to win the game?

One of the most orange and teal movies ever.
