This movie really made my 1993 memorable. It leans into a few stereotypes—clumsy Zabari and all that (imagine if someone made a similar flick about the Wehrmachtovac)—but the soundtrack and overall vibe are just wonderful. From what I gather, director Salvatores is quite an activist, much like Nanni Moretti, which becomes pretty obvious by the end of the film...
Not quite, but we’re actually getting pretty serious about it. It’s a goal I've had for a few years now, and the timing finally feels right. I’m just torn between the sax or the trumpet: the sax seems better for playing solo, but the trumpet might be more fun if I join a band later on...
To be more specific, I've heard that playing these two instruments can increase the risk of throat cancer. Is there any truth to that? If so, how high is the actual risk? Is it comparable to the risk smokers face for lung cancer, or perhaps lower... or even higher?
I’ve never really struggled with this choice; my absolute favorite actress has always been Thurman, such a brilliant and charming talent. However, now that she seems so focused on her family life, I find myself drawn more toward Blanchett lately... she's just wonderful. I don't mind having different favorites for different genres, but if I had to pick just one ultimate leading lady, it would be a tough call. Who holds the top spot in your heart?
One of the standout American folk albums out there is the collaboration between Buddy Rich and Louis Armstrong. The first group hails from Memphis, deep in the South, while the second is a violinist who splits his time between Chicago and St. Louis—and he is absolutely wild...
One possible answer is that they both share Spanish heritage.
29. A book or a movie—it doesn't matter. How did Anna Karenina die, and how did Vronsky...?
They say the man who served as the inspiration for Vronsky actually died as a volunteer in the North America, somewhere near Aleksinac during the war with Turkey...
32. Stevie Wonder composed music for several films (he even won an Oscar). What does his wife look like?
I suspect this is aiming for a dark joke, where the answer to the question is simply: he has no idea...
Believe it or not, a few years back, this forum wasn't nearly the disaster it is today. The Movie discussion board used to be one of the better spots here. It was just that the moderator, Kreso, would start a thread asking "What is Kreso watching tonight?" almost every single day, which really wore people down...
Anyway, I caught "Breathless" tonight. A few nights ago, I watched "Y Tu Mamá También"...
