Thanks, rischka. I'll do my best. Forgot a very important show, oink. Not sure if I mentioned it here before, but I watched an unhealthy amount of Peppa Pig as it's very good to memorize vocabulary. It's not as annoying as it may seem. Here's the place where I got the idea from, with a bunch of link...

Introduced my brother to Twin Peaks. Loved it just as much as before, perhaps even more. I have grown fond of characters I initially didn't care for, but Coop is still the best. Will be revisiting Season 3 this February, hopefully. Finally watched all episodes of Bluey. It's a beautiful show that mo...

I barely watch movies anymore, but I would love to participate in this for old times' sake. Don't know when i'll have a list ready, though. Definitely before the 30th. Gave this a try, but it's no use... 😅 Had fun reading everyone's lists so far. It's been fun being part of this community. Take car...

An interesting happening during the break of a famous weather programme from Japan. The weather camera almost seemed to be possessed by the spirit of Roberto Rossellini, specifically the remote-controlled zoom of his late period. It all ends in a beautiful scene that I dare not spoil. I also include...

Ich froue mich einen Antwort zu sehen. :) Bitte, habt keine Angst das wir nicht uns and anderen verstehen können. Natürlich, wird es schwierig, aber Ich denke es ist besser etwas zu schreiben dan ga nicht zu schreiben. 8-) Don't worry about making too many mistakes, I sure won't. Feel free to correc...

Welcome! This is a thread for everyone to practice their foreign languages. Beyond this post anything you want to say in English or in your mother tongue should be under spoiler tags . Feel free to talk about anything, this thread didn't really belong in the film discussion section of the forum, but...

As long as we keep English and native languages under spoiler tags, we might not need to have penalties. The last thing I want is to discourage members from participating. What do you think? And finally, if you know of any good online resources for learning one or several languages, please share the...

We could keep everything in one thread by using the spoiler function, but I remember we had some problems with that in the past. How is it working for everyone? It's all good on my side.

That's a great idea. Another way to go about it is to gatekeep some of your hobbies, if you happen to have a lot of them, behind a language you're learning. So say I wanted to play a video game, I could only do so if it's entirely spoken/written in Japanese or German. --- Sorry to keep you all waiti...

Excellent! I'll try to have it up sometime this week. In the meantime, I'd love to hear some opinions on the dos and don'ts of the thread. Should we allow English/Native languages at all? If the answer is yes, then how about for every line of text in English or your mother tongue you must contribute...

I feel ya, everyone who's having trouble finding people to practice with. I was thinking about starting a thread to help us with this matter. The concept is that in that topic we wouldn't be allowed to write in English or in our mother tongues, that way we would be forced to communicate in whatever ...

What?! Is that time already? I completely forgot about this thing, but yeah, this is the year. I personally don't care about the main list, but I'm really looking forward to the individual ballots, those will be a lot of fun to check out. That said, I do hope there's a place on the big list for a wo...

I really like these, I should watch more from him.

Seen 9 Back to the Future Cast Away Contact Back to the Future Part II Who Framed Roger Rabbit I loved the Back to the Future trilogy as a child. I've largely outgrown those films, the time shenanigans do nothing for me these days, but I can still appreciate the 'would you befriend your old folks?' ...

I like these a lot: Marshall Islands stick charts https://i.imgur.com/3v8GHKc.jpg Stick charts were made and used by the Marshallese to navigate the Pacific Ocean by canoe off the coast of the Marshall Islands. The charts represented major ocean swell patterns and the ways the islands disrupted thos...

but I'm not a fan of Opera much in general.

Don't dismiss opera entirely until you've seen Robert Ashley's Perfect Lives. I mean, you might hate it too, but for different reasons. It's on Ubuweb. Now, whether that qualifies as an opera or not is up for debate.

As far as experimental films about hands go this might be my fav:

my favorite experimental film about hands -

I love this place. I also love Yvonne Rainer's dancing hand, I'll have to check these two, eh four?

I don't have as much time to watch movies anymore, and I didn't get to nearly what I wanted to for this year. I was going to suggest sticking with short films for a while, but you seem to be doing that already. While I'd like to throw the I've been busy card myself, truth is I've had time, I just h...

i just watched (and liked) this, though it's 1928 on imdb, 1929 on letterboxd, not sure whether to include it on my ballot...

Just ran into the same problem when double-checking my 1975 ballot. Which should we go for? or ?

RIP previous ballot .

1976 according to imdb, DO NOT watch it for this poll, thank you.

Surveillance camera operator simulator, more rewatchable than Playtime. Please, watch this one, it's great.

He knows how good film must look like, but didn`t manage to create his own storytelling, style.

Well said, I agree, I've had a better time reading Blogdanovich than watching Bogdanovich and I can barely remember the ones I've seen.

Columbo: Identity Crisis (Patrick McGoohan)

Wait just a minute, can we vote for TV episodes? This changes everything!!!

Nah, not really, but it's pretty cool.

He certainly has interesting ideas...

A family on a tropical holiday discover that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly, reducing their entire lives into a single day.
