I made my reservation for today. 🎉

Dire Straits 🙏 🙏 🙏
I started listening to them when I was about fifteen, and those lyrics basically provided the soundtrack to my life growing up..
Mark Knopfler 🙏 🙏 🙏

🤣 🤣 👍
Yeah. I agree.

And if you ask your mother where she’s headed, just so you can follow her there?

My money is on her trying to say something while skiing, but she couldn't find the right words in the language or whatever.
In my experience, "police" sounds pretty much the same regardless of the dialect. Police, polisi, police... 🙄
Or you just lock yourself in a bathroom stall and scream "police" until someone actually shows up.
A little white lie and the problem is solved.

They’ve made everything impossible. All they want is for it to just work. 😁

shadowowl9 said:The papers today are running headlines about a "sensational twist." Apparently, Natasha actually managed to open the door to her cell once and almost escaped, but—of course—she got dizzy and went back inside. And that "monster" Piklopil didn't even flinch.

For those of you who bought into the initial media spin, don't forget that Natasha has a media consultant on her side. It seems the goal is to squeeze every cent out of this "horror" story—because the bigger the horror, the bigger the payday. Even Natasha's father has accused him of manipulation, claiming she's effectively in a new kind of captivity.

The poor father seems to be the only sane person left in this whole saga. They aren't even letting him speak to his daughter privately. I suspect they're afraid he might actually ask: "Tell me, honey, what really happened?"

👍
I generally agree with your assessment.

And I'm not sure who mentioned it... but I'm also curious about the news reports from '98.

It felt a bit off when she finally broke free from that cell; she reportedly ran up to a woman and asked, "Do you have any newspapers from 1998? I'm Natasha Kampusch!"
wtf? Who says something like that after eight years in captivity? It sounds incredibly staged to me.

Aside from the minor spoilers. Fortunately, I only skimmed what I copy-pasted, so I didn't actually remember any of it when I sat down in the theater.

Exactly. If there is one thing I can't stand, it's spoilers. 🙂

I hadn't even visited Central Park before I started going to AMC Theatres; I really wasn't looking forward to potentially ending up on some uncomfortable wooden benches.

I think I'll head out to see it one of these days. Let me know what you think once you're done, but please—no spoilers. 🙂

There’s some movie called Let 93 playing on TV this Monday.

Does anyone know much about it?

Maria Peterson, your jaw is going to lock up from laughing that hard. 😉

A little spoiler? That’s enough to turn me off right there. 😉

The daughter isn't even a rebel—not by any stretch of the imagination—and that line about her mother... good grief. It really ruins the whole experience for me. 👎

I was actually going to write... I found myself crying because there is no tomorrow. 🙂

The hardest part for me was when she wrote in that letter: "Do you remember that dress I always refused to wear? I wore it that day, when I was with him. Please understand—wearing it now would feel like showing up to work in a wedding gown."

I can't be certain if those were her exact words, but you get the idea. 🙂

Does she spend most of her day glued to a computer? 😉

If so, we might be looking at carpal tunnel syndrome. It tends to flare up if you maintain poor posture while typing.
I dealt with that myself once. It cleared up after a few months, though. No big deal.

True, since we’re on the subject of Penélope Cruz... I wouldn't say she's my usual type, but she looks incredible in this film! 👍
Maybe it's because she's surrounded by all those older women... I don't know. 🤣

steelstag4 said:Content from the Broadway page: "Three generations of women navigate life's storms and superstitions, madness, and even death, all thanks to their resilient nature, a few white lies, and sheer endurance. Raimund is married to an unemployed laborer, and they have a rebellious teenage daughter. Her sister, Soli, works as a hairstylist, and the mother—well, she's dead... or maybe she isn't. As the mystery unfolds through a series of chaotic events, this small family will find answers to their questions and hopefully rediscover the warmth of their bonds..."

I would ban this. It’s terrible. Who wrote this description? Half of it is factually incorrect, not to mention the spoilers...
I think a moderator should take this down or at least censor it. 👎

The movie itself is fine, though I tend to prefer those high-intensity dramas with more momentum. This is a European production, which tells you everything you need to know right away. It relies on the script rather than special effects.
I heard quite a few people walked out mid-screening. From what I gathered, most were just kids expecting something like Miami Vice (there was a secret premiere at AMC Theatres) instead of a Spanish drama.

Just watch the film; I thought it was decent. 🙂

I don't think so. We'll probably have to wait until they hit the video rental stores.

To be honest, I’m a bit wary of this sequel. I can't quite wrap my head around why they even felt the need to make one in the first place. My fear is that it'll just end up tarnishing the legacy of the original film.
I truly hope I'm wrong, though.

I suppose I should have expected this. It’s all quite predictable, really. One expects a certain level of discourse, yet here we are again. Typical. kaže:

😬

The movie was excellent. I’m actually thinking about picking up the book...
