Alexander Moore44 said:I’m a fan of historical epics myself, but this one just misses the mark. There's way too much going wrong and hardly anything going right.
Personally, I don't usually demand much from a movie, but this one overstayed its welcome.
Since I watched the movie without subtitles—basically just guessing based on the context 😂—I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Anyway, I’m a huge fan of historical epics, so don't take my word as gospel. It’s part of a trilogy, so I’m keeping an eye out for the next two installments. The director did a solid job weaving the history into the narrative. Now, I'm just waiting for a good movie about Attila the Hun!
Arthur Garcia59 said:What a shame. I'm just waiting on AMC; it’ll be out soon, and honestly, seeing something like this on the big screen would be incredible.
Well, for now, I need to see it first before I can really judge, like I said. Camp movies are always popular; regarding another one with German themes, I know it's not strictly about camps, but for me, "Life Two" still beats "Panov's Labyrinth."
Oh, hush! I had to settle for a grainy digital rip because I was dying to see it, and I was worried I wouldn't find a legal way to watch a film from Kazakhstan.
And don't get me wrong, "Life Two" is good too—it's not even specifically about Jews in a camp—but in my opinion, "Panov's Labyrinth" is just superior.
There’s a good reason this movie was an Oscar nominee this year. (A shame it didn't take home the award, but I guess period pieces are still in style. You can't fight it.) A dear gentleman from this forum sent me a version with Russian dubbing, and even though I couldn't understand a single word they were saying, 😂 the film gripped me instantly. I'm heading to the theater on opening day. The acting is superb; I have no clue what they're actually discussing, but they seem incredibly convincing. 😬 The cinematography, direction, and costume design are all top-tier. It’s a true spectacle that didn't rely on millions of dollars in CGI. It feels raw and authentic.

What do you mean, does someone have NKOTB? I mean, do you have them on CD, or maybe your mom has them tucked away in the kitchen? 😕
I’m actually serving as the best man at a wedding on April 5th up in downtown Chicago. It makes me wonder—is it really okay if the best man shows up a little late? 🙄 The couple isn't even sure if they'll make it on time themselves. 🤣

And yeah, I get the feeling he lives in his own bubble and thinks he's pretty special.
The keyword there is WAS! Because there's nothing left of that guy from Skid Row. Sure, everyone gets older, but he's been absolutely wrecked 🙄. Between the drugs and the booze, his voice is gone; you won't hear any of that sweet sound from "18 and Life" anymore.

Top 10 most boring Movies The Oscar winning movie " Lost in Translation", starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, actually got voted the most boring movie ever. Apparently, it pulled 23 percent—narrowly beating "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace", which landed second at 18 percent.
The survey was conducted for Silentnight, America's biggest bed manufacturer. Their brand manager, Steven Simpson, mentioned: "WE were surprised to see sol many well-known award-winning films make The top 10. No doubt the findings will stir up some controversy amongst film fans."
So, here’s the top 10:
1. " Lost in Translation" (23 percent) 2. "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" (18 percent) 3. "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind" (14 percent) 4. "Vanilla Sky" (13 percent) 5. "A Beautiful Mind" (10 percent) 7. "The Remains of the Day" (eight percent) 8. "The Black Dahlia" (seven percent) 9. "The Da Vinci Code" (four percent) 10. "The English Patient" (three percent)
It’s pretty obvious it’s a bore when the whole plot is just two people being bored. 🙄
quietdriver3 said:I guess it's just because it's technically a TV movie. Actually, hopefully that's the reason, maybe.
Re-watched it yesterday. Still totally blown away by it.
That scene on the plane is still sooo good. And those parts with Kubrick... when Tucci leans in at one point and gives that look right under his eyebrows directly into the camera, I swear I actually saw the old devil (literally, from that shot). The casting is just phenomenal.
And that breezy directing style... it's just great. 😍
I had it in my head that he was nominated. I must have mixed something up.
I honestly can't wrap my head around how Geoffrey managed to outshine Peter so completely. It makes no sense why he didn't walk away with the Oscar that year.
Sterility can be a potential outcome following an abortion. It’s similar to how one might face infertility due to severe allergies, intense stress, certain medications, or substance abuse. If we let ourselves succumb to panic, what's the point? It's better to just hide away in some hole and never come out again.
redowl90 said:The fact that you can see microphones in the shot isn't some technical glitch with the film itself; it’s just incompetent camera operators who clearly don't know what they're doing.
Regarding those camera operators 🤔 —how could that possibly be their fault? They aren't the ones responsible for editing scenes or fixing mistakes. I always knew this was more of an art drama, but I didn't expect it to be this mindless. 🙄 The pacing is completely off. It starts out so slow that you're waiting for the character to snap, but then suddenly everyone loses their minds and the movie is over. It's just bad. And yeah, half the crew was practically running out of the set halfway through the shoot. 🤣
Then we aren't on the same page, which wouldn't be surprising. Besides, my doctor is Dr. Pintarić; she’s the head of psychiatry over at the Mayo Clinic, so I'll take her word for it. What else can I say? In my experience, doctors around here tend to just load patients up with prescriptions. They had an elderly woman on a cocktail of Coaxil, Misar, Normabel, and Sanval—all just to manage depression.
Jeremy Flores10, I'm not sure about your experience, but my yeast infection never really cleared up (even 😂) and I've dealt with candidiasis a few times 😁
By the way, yeast used in bread is a fungus, right?
Well, I never said that every yeast infection turns into mold. Honestly, I just wanted to have a little laugh over this thread instead of taking it all so seriously.
Jamie Kim said:Exactly... Sanval 🙏 isn't even addictive. I was on 20 mg a day for four months as part of my depression treatment—not just playing doctor, I’m not really the experimental type 🙂—and then I went on vacation and stopped taking them cold turkey. I slept like a baby from day one, despite the constant noise from the AC and the traffic outside my window, which would have driven me crazy back home. Now that I'm back, the insomnia is back too. I can't sleep for days at a time, so here I am, back on the pills.
My friend, did you actually read the Sanval instructions before jumping to 20mg? And who on earth prescribed that specific regimen to you? Besides, the recommended daily dose is 10mg. It can be hard on your liver, and if 10mg doesn't do the trick, 20mg won't help either. The only thing you're right about is that they aren't addictive; you can stop taking them without major issues. I've been taking them daily for about two years now, and unfortunately, it looks like I'll be on them for a while longer.
What do you think antibiotics are actually made of? And why is it that women end up with yeast infections if they're prescribed the wrong antibiotic? How many people have died from that? Zero!
Honestly, if you realize how much junk is packed into food that isn't even moldy, you could probably give yourself cancer just from thinking about it.
I could always be a gingerbread man. There they are, right where they should be! I'm at the shop over by the Square, right where the buses turn around. I think the place is called Franja's Coffee.
I know he picks up some of those cookies at Hershey's. Give the factory outlet store out on the plains a call and see if they have them available for purchase there.
I’ve been there myself. It usually happens because the signature draws way too much attention—maybe it’s just too long, the font is off, or the message itself is a bit jarring. For instance, I once tried using an entire song lyric as my signature, which was definitely overkill.
