Well...
Not everyone gets a sadistic kick out of shaming and insulting others.
😉

Gay man said:well,,,
just your typical American humor that isn't even funny—it just relies on mocking and insulting everyone except Americans themselves while enjoying the group activity of making fools out of other people (kind of like that post above),
a bunch of swear words piled on top of each other,
and cheap sex scenes that look more like assault or torture...

basically, if anyone actually enjoys watching this stuff, they can go wander through some local flea markets or dive bars.. I don't get it, why watch this on TV or in a movie theater—when we're already surrounded by it?
😕

Oooooo man, you are such a moron, I seriously can't believe it. Only someone who has absolutely zero clue about humor, or the US, or communism, or paranoia, or sucking up to the system... basically, someone completely devoid of any brain cells could write a critique this stupid (and I'm talking about James Bond and who is that guy).

And just to prove my point, why don't you go ahead and name one single example of an actual good comedy?

Gay man said:well...

Yeah, some folks just love a good, gentle wrecking of someone's ego.

If you want me to prove it, why don't you go ahead and name just one single example of actual good comedy?

Well... maybe only Americans can make decent comedy..
and the French too.

This whole thing is just cheap and insulting, and I'm not having it. Honestly, I think "local" movies are just toxic.
😳

So, tell me..
what do you actually like? Why are those your favorites?

Here is the proof: violence only breeds more violence.
So, the movie *A Clockwork Orange* says...
😳

dustyscout53 said:Yeah, some people just love a little gentle demolition.

Well...
If it makes you feel any better,
It looks like I’m the only one here who actually can't stand those kinds of movies.

The "Who Is That Guy Pev" ballet is hitting the big stage at the National Theatre soon
Even Dad would go to the ballet, son

On the big stage national theatre in New York, December 22nd at 7:30 PM, they’re premiering the "Who Is That Guy Pev" ballet—choreographed and directed by Stas Zurovac. It’s based on that legendary movie from over 20 years ago, originally scripted by Woody Allen and directed by Slobodan Sowing.

Voki Kostich handled the music. He took the original score and turned it into something massive and grand for this production, performed by a 40-piece orchestra that even includes Vlatko Stefanovski. The Bolshoi Ballet director, Konstantin Kostjukov, says the music is stunning and thinks it’ll really help push the show to international audiences. The choreography, direction, and lighting design all come from American artist Stas Zurovac, who already made his mark here with "Circus of Primitives." He’s working alongside costume designer Katarina Radosevic-Galic and set designer Zorz Drausnik—both talented Americans as well. They’ve got encore performances scheduled for the 23rd and 24th. Almost the entire National Theatre Ballet ensemble is involved, including Denis Kasatkin, Dalija Imanic, and Aleksandar Ilic.

Zurovac mentioned that when he first sat down with the theater manager, Ljubivoj Tadic, to talk about the idea, the whole thing felt impossible. Mostly because the soul of this story is the dialogue.

"I kept asking myself how to move this into a ballet. The only way to pull it off was to capture the archetype of that film's story—the actual mentality. The people I'm working with on this ballet share that same DNA. But look, this is its own standalone piece; people who haven't even seen the movie can totally get it. We didn't just copy the film; we built something based on it. My collaboration with Voki Kostich—which I was actually nervous about at first—turned out to be incredible. I think Voki did a brilliant job. Together, we managed to keep that witty thread alive, at least in my opinion."

So, how did you handle iconic lines like "drive, Misko" or those other famous moments from the movie?

- All those lines are woven into the performance somehow. Look, trying to explain specific dialogue through movement is a thankless, nearly impossible task. So instead, I focused on the progression of events within the visual scenes themselves. There are plenty of moments here that aren't even in the original film. You could say the work is quite original compared to the movie.

You mentioned it was funny...

- Well, the dancers and I certainly think so. There are plenty of funny bits. But there are also touching moments, passionate moments, a modern take on traditional folk dances, and a hundred other things.

What was it like coming from America to do this temporary work in New York?

- Art doesn't recognize borders—especially not the ones politics tries to build. Political and historical drama stays outside the realm of art. Maybe some artists see a connection there, but I don't. To me, art—especially ballet and music—is universal. It speaks to everyone. It hits that primal human chord and doesn't care about language barriers. I don't let that stuff weigh me down. Audiences are the same everywhere—whether it's in India, Pakistan, the USA, Mexico, or America. Everyone wants to see a great show. A theater is a theater, and an audience is an audience. What defines where I work is the challenge of the craft itself. And putting this ballet together was a massive challenge precisely because, at the start, it seemed impossible.

Gay man, you're just being Balkanophobic. That's not a good look.

"Unlucky Sam since birth...
singing all these miserable songs..."

And I still think that scene with the little old guy is just the cutest—"Guys, guys!!!"

Hey, was there a line in that marathon runner movie like, "Dear Dad... you died in your final moments"?

Gay man said:I mean... honestly, only Americans can actually pull off a decent comedy...
And the French...

It’s pretty obvious you really know your stuff... 😁

Gay man said:Well... only Americans can actually pull off decent comedy...
And the French too,

dustyscout53, you're absolutely right—it's a total lobotomy!👍

ruggedjackal46 said:Gay man, you're being totally xenophobic. That's not okay.

I am not the topic here. 😉

Let's stick to the subject, s'il vous plaît.
😳 😁

feralhawk10 said:dustyscout53, you're spot on—straight up lobotomy!👍

Yeah...
it's totally standard practice now...
🙄
Apparently, if you don't agree with someone on a couple of movies, the only solution is to lobotomize them, insult them, and threaten them with violence.
🙄

Gay man said:anyone we disagree with regarding a few movies should be lobotomized and insulted with threats of violence
🙄

Look, you don't need surgery. Honestly, just watching a few brilliant comedies from the UK, Italy, or even a good James Bond and who is that guy movie would be enough to stop you from posting such nonsense in the future...

lonefox373 said:Look, you don't need surgery. Just watch a few genius comedies from the UK, Italy, or maybe some James Bond and who is that guy, and then you'll stop posting such nonsense.

Fine.
😳

I think I'm being at least honest and upfront about my views. I don't get why everyone is getting so incredibly worked up over my take.
😕

Once I've checked out those works you mentioned—and I'll definitely comment on them—I'll feel free to compare them to everything else.

Karen Anderson5 said:My son just sent them over via email. 😉 Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly.👍

Let me know once those movies arrive!
Please, please, please!!!!

dustyscout53: No, my uncle testified to it all. He completely dismantled their story... It was pure, unadulterated betrayal. His own father and brother—those absolute scoundrels—were actively collaborating with the occupiers and the local traitors. They were literally sewing uniforms for the enemy. The father was sentenced to six and a half years, and the brother got four. While there was never any concrete proof they were stitching those uniforms, my uncle swears on his life that they absolutely were... The moment the brother stepped out of prison, he fled to Greece, then hopped from Greece straight to France. And get this: my uncle swears they made at least ten kilos of gold from it. They used that gold to open up a shop. They were nothing but rotten capitalists. They didn't leave my uncle a single cent... I always knew that trash like them had to come from a lineage of criminals; you don't just wake up one day and become such a monster through sheer willpower. You can't acquire that kind of malice through quick cash or flattery; it’s something inherited in the blood, nurtured and raised from birth. You are born a traitor and a villain. Then, the money follows. That’s exactly what I kept thinking while I was traveling through those rougher areas back then.

Bradley Davis33: That is harrowing... Honestly, can anyone look me in the eye and tell you that you aren't right?

Gay man: It’s like he’s reading our minds.

Jeremy Flores10: Anyone... Wait, how did you even get him to open up and tell you all this?

dustyscout53: I introduced myself as a journalist. I told him I was working on a series about domestic traitors. As soon as he heard that, my uncle ushered me into the house, pulled out old photos and newspaper clippings from the trials, and laid it all out... His aunt tried to cause a scene, claiming none of it was true—she was always firmly on his side—but my uncle kicked her right out of the house. We sat there talking for two days and two nights without stopping. As I was leaving, regarding this big criminal, he said: "For money, a man will betray his people, his country, and the entire world. This is a small nation, yet what a massive traitor he is. Just like his father before him." He added, quite sarcastically: "Don't think for a second she only writes those letters because they live on Lenin's Boulevard."

Jeremy Flores10: What does that have to do with anything?

feralhawk10: She won't even write down the name on Lenin's Boulevard in the address. That tells you everything you need to know! My uncle says, "If we lived on Roosevelt's or Churchill's Boulevard, she'd be writing twice a day." And everyone knows it, yet nobody lifts a finger. It's a disgrace! A total scandal... Anyway, did you catch today's USA Today?

😁 👍

Jeremy Flores10 said:Make sure to let me know if you got the movies!
Please, please, please!!!!

I probably won't get to them before summer, but I'll let you know.

Gay man said:Yeah..
it's totally normal,,
🙄
to lobotomize, insult, and threaten someone with violence just because we don't see eye to eye on a couple of movies
🙄

Well yeah, obviously I'm gonna threaten you with violence—what am I supposed to do, offer you cookies and lemonade? 🙂 🙂 🙂

Slur...

Gay man, you've got to be some kind of mindless sheep🤣

Gentlemen, every single movie you could ever want is right here and then some!!!
