This is how Macedonian Pat Benatar sounds. Unfortunately only a portion of the music video exists online, and not in good quality.

How to stop graying? I think that's impossible. :(

Re: CoMo No. 27: North Macedonia (September, 2024)

I found the most disturbing shot to be the one with a family tombstone. You can clearly see a three-year-old girl at the right. So heartbreaking.

It was totally unexpected and caught them off-guard, as it occurred around 4am. Imagine the horror. :(

Yeah the 1963 Skopje earthquake was most fatal in the history of exYU (1070 dead). Two docs exist about it, one old and one rather fresh:

Re: CoMo No. 27: North Macedonia (September, 2024)

I'll first give some intro to the culture, since I guess it's all the same to the West; or any other foreigners, for that matter. Macedonia was the poorest exYU republic in terms of economy (with only Kosovo trailing, but that was only a province back then), which is why their cinematic output was ...

Re: Some things are Tennis

So far three NOC's aren't medal virgins anymore.

Dominican triple jumper and Saint Lucian 100m track runner won their first gold/also first-ever medals in Olympic history. Minutes ago, Cape Verdean male boxer won a bronze (51kg category), which is also their first-ever medal of any color.

Re: Some things are Tennis

And another tie break.

This gold would seal his position as GOAT once and for all. And of course he shouldn't be stopped at taking many more. :cowboy:

Let the rest of them fall behind in every aspect.

Between these two I also saw Ichikawa's first colour film Bridge of Japan, which I felt promised more in its opening in terms of atmosphere than it delivered. Perfectly well-made, but hardly memorable, and the Macedonian based-on-a-true story Cursed Money, which follows a bunch of farmers who becom...

Yeah that row of columns ending with a Podturn castle at the top (and lush forest behind) is a famous Ljubljana tourist site - TIVOLI PARK.

Can be frequently seen in the best Slovenian movie ever "Ples v dežju."
