Damn, I haven't seen it. I always assumed they only did a stage play about the Glembays because apparently Krleža was such a busybody that he blocked any attempt at making a movie out of it.
Michael Ortiz68 said:Not really. What exactly do you mean when you say their psychological traits are identical? 😕
I'm talking about people with similar temperaments, shared life experiences, and basically the same worldview, just living in different eras. Is that clear enough for you now? 🙂
a) I’ve been thinking about a film set in the span from World War II through the era of Harmon's administration. Instead of focusing on just one protagonist, the plot would weave together several different people living in different eras. The core idea is that while their lives change, their psychological traits remain identical—you'd see these shifting life stories playing out continuously. It’s a bit hard to articulate, but you get the gist of what I’m aiming for b) Or maybe an adaptation of a fairy tale by Mažuranić, or perhaps something based on Krleža's work, like Glembay (I don't think there's ever been a truly serious film made about them) or even the return of Philip Latinovicz
Batman Returns really hits that dark, moody sweet spot that I absolutely live for. Sleepy Hollow - also that. Seven The Goonies Seven Goonies when the lamb falls silent—the atmosphere and setting in that movie are just incredibly unsettling, which is exactly why the tension stays so high throughout. psycho
"To damn something"—I've always had a soft spot for that expression. It’s got a certain grit to it. And that phrase about "living above a coward's nest"... honestly, it took me a long time to actually wrap my head around what that was supposed to mean.
I finally pulled it off, though I honestly have no clue how I managed it. But now, this formatting is starting to bug me a little. Does anyone know how I can bump up the size slightly?

I mean, what's actually the point for people in getting banned? Isn't a ban supposed to be a punishment?
Hey guys, can anyone walk me through how to set up an avatar? The issue I'm running into is that I have this image saved in Word that’s a bit on the larger side—not massive, mind you—but I just can't seem to scale it down to a 50 by 50 size.

Matthew Wilson50 said:Nah, they didn't write that themselves; they got banned. Unless they still have their profile picture and that specific banner visible, then they wrote it—because once you're banned, your avatar disappears and your username turns gray.😉
Thanks for the heads-up. I think when their nickname goes gray, it also gets underlined in red. Does that mean they've lost posting privileges entirely and can only browse the threads now? Also, do those penalty points and red cards actually lead to a ban? I'm just curious how many of those points someone has to rack up before they get kicked off the forum for good.
My name is Wojtek and I live in Poland. I recently started learning the American language. It’s pretty tough, but I really enjoy it and find it super rewarding. I've become fascinated with the USA and your culture at the same time. I stumbled upon this forum today because I wanted to ask for some recommendations on famous and high-quality American movies that are worth watching. I figured that would be a great way to practice the language while getting to know the character of the country I'm interested in. So, please suggest a few titles—ideally movies where they use straightforward, standard American language.
Thanks and cheers from Poland🙂!
Hey Wojtek, it’s awesome to see someone from abroad taking an interest in the USA and our culture. As for the language, it can definitely be a struggle for foreigners, but it's totally doable. When it comes to American films, my absolute favorite is Horseman from 2003, directed by Branko Ivanda. It uses a lot of vocabulary that isn't exactly standard modern American because the story takes place back in the 15th century (I might be off on the dates, but something like that). Even though it’s a bit hard to follow—honestly, I still couldn't catch everything even after watching it three times—it's my favorite movie from here. It might not be the best tool for practicing your grammar, but it’s genuinely a great film (which, unfortunately, feels like a rare find in American cinema) and I think it's well worth your time.
