Mine—😭—what can I say I am melancholic😭
Guys, my head—will it cake?
Today, I woke up with a headache😭. while taking a shower, I applied pressure to that spot on my forehead, that hurt. It felt so fragile, it felt like my head will squish if I applied any more pressure. It felt like cake.
I havent had this strong of a urge to steal before
So I go and take French classes at Alliance Francaise Islamabad, and today when I got out of class, this box was sitting there with what must be a 100 cds. I really wanted to steal one of them, and I would have if I didn't had to come back here again and again😭
Guys when will we as a nation stop feering our hindu past and celebrate it rather than shunning it away
Its crazy that we shun away from it. We dont teach out kids about the indian golden age and the discoveries that happened then and the advansment. We dont tell them that our ancestors made two of biggest epics. Its crazy that we squeeze thousands of years in 2 pages in our text books. Just because our ancestors were hindu We'd rather be turks. Oh my god I want to read about our past and I cant find a single book on Ancient india on our big book selling websites. Oh no wait well sell you greek history tho.😡😡
How many of you think Raja Gidh is vulgar?
I have been looking online and found so many saying its an erotica or whatelse and else. Even tho these thing dont matter as I am not a muslim. But still i see the deeper meaning which is wholely Islamic- Rizqe Halal and Haram and how eating haram is the main cause of madness. Although I myself completely disagree and say that its such a stupid point to make anyhow I like the story and I love the charachters the most. I cant classify it as an erotica- I dont remember one sequence where we get any detail on the xxx. Its just written to say it happened witthout much details. Do people really see their world with rose colored glasses and anything on the contrary ofends them? HOW CHILDISH
I think there is a reason why we have lost all the wars
I mean apnay logon pai goliya chalanay walay dushmano sai kaisay lar saktay hai. They get used to fighting people who cant fight back. In 1971 they were busy killing bengalis and raping women, ofc they lost em all.
Listning to barbie movie album while working out, it so good
Adios amigos I am out of this hell hole
This sub reddit has lost it, 90% of the posts here are tickets.
I have a question, lets have an Intellectual discussion here.
Can you be a ciniphile and love whole of marvel(not a specific movie or movies)?
Cause if you are a ciniphile that literally means you love cinema. How can you love cinema and also love Marvel which has done the most damage(maybe argubaly) to cinema as an art form.
I watched the odeyssy again and it changed my perception towards it entirely
The first time I watched The Odyssey I called it a spectacle and I said that I found the Odeyssy emotionally light. I still gave it a 4.5 and said it was missing alot of emotions. In the days ahead I thought about it alot and came up with a few flaws mainly how I thought the fall of troy ending just didnt work for me and other small gripes I had that I still have btw. Now when I entered the cinema I was going in with the intention of pushing my rating down to 4. But the Odeyssy pushed back everything became clear and while watching it I was sometimes even debating is it a 5. Just knowing whats going to happen gave so much meaning to Odysseus's journey, all those little things that Odysseus forshadows they pick up new meaning and the emotions start rolling in and like a snowball they never stop rolling. Let me say this I shed tears.
Alot of the gripes I had with this movie are still here and I decided it wasnt really a 5 so It keeps at 4.5.
I had alot more thought and if you wanna read all of them here :- https://boxd.it/fr5jq1 but keep in minds its a long read I had alot to write about sorry.
Remembering Barbenheimer
I have been Obsessed with the Odeyssy for past 6 days my mind has been consumed by the Odeyssy I watched it twice, its good but it has flaws.
All of this today has brought me back to Barbenheimer how hype that was, I watched both movies in cinemas a few days apart. I First went to watch Oppenhimer and I was just enthralled by it. I was in awe, it hammared me emotionally and I just couldnt do anything but sit there and let all the emotions this movie provides envolop me. It has become one of my favs of all time
When I was leaving the theatre I heard this girl talk about how boring the film was and how she had wished they had watched Barbie, I was shocked, I had the time of my life while watching it and I couldn't believe how can she say that.
Anyways Oppenhimer consumed all of my free time just like the odyssey does now reading reviews, learning about all the details and listning to the soundtrack all that jazz.
I knew I wanted to watch Barbie like I thought it would be entertaining but I didnt think it would be that good or have something to say. I really admired Greta Gerwig as an director but I thought she probably had sacrificed alot to the gods of mass appeal. Anyways few days after Oppenhimer I took my 11 year old sister and my cousin to see barbie. It really exceeded my expectations it was a beautiful movie and shot so beautifully and all the colors like it was poping. It had stuff to say, it told us what it is to be humans with all our flaws and how to accept them or so I think, yeah its been 3 years guys. I thought it had something meaningful to tell, but thats true it dosent tells it shouts and you kinda have enough of it by the end.
I just thought that this time period was so good, two good movies same date all the hype. Share your Barbenheimer story down👇
A child started screaming during the fall of troy scene at the end
I was watching the odyssey for the 2nd time at the arena and you know how violent the fall of troy scene is right where Odysseus says "to burn the walls of troy was to burn the world entire"
like its so violent women being killed mercilessly and suddenly this child starts screaming like real screams must be like 7-8 and its an M rated movie like blame falls on both the parents and the cinema wtf letting childrens in so sad. His father than took him out.
Do you guys ever realised that you were too generous with your ratings and started pushhing everything down.
Like I had so many in 4 and like 57 5s I just started pushing everything down, now I have 30 5s.
Its crazy that I keep seeing more posts about Spider man brand new shit rather than The odeyssy.
Dosent seems like there are many cinephiles here. Idk I never thought there would be so many ciniphiles that like marvel. Anyways to each thier own but its just so sad.
The odeyssy review from a guy who was in awe of all the spectacle(I still think I need to watch it again to really form my opinions)
What can I say its just such a big spectacle, spectacle isnt bad it puts a knife through the fabric of bordemness only if you can present it in a certain ways I have seen many a movies that are filled with spectacle and nothing more they are boring of them all. Preseting spectacle with emotions is the way not too much spectacle without putting the adequate amount of emotions in.
There is something the way that chris and Jennifer Lame edits these where the past happens first than the future and than past again on and on and on until there is only present left. Because cinema as an art form seems to embrace nonlinearity and leaves linearity only with the books whose writer are 60 with thier lungs full of smoke and spectacles on thier eyes.
I liked nolans previous film more, a man pounded by his moral qualms after unleashing death and destruction to the world, sure somebody else would have done it but atleast it wouldnt be him left to deal with the aftermath. All these emotions that openhimer unleashed onto us as I noted after seeing the bridges of madison county a film full of emotions and little spectacle
"-----all of this just makes this film so tangible so real lingring within the plains of reality and sometimes going through it completely feeling realer than life itself."
And Nolan has put enough emotions in the odyssey to make it tangible, to force that heart churning. Enough enough emotions -no- but plenty to push it into the higher echelons of cinema, I doubt that some one will put the odyssey on thier top four on here(letterboxd) those places only exist for films that can churn your heart so hard, get that heart beating so fast, it feels like it has turn into an reactor.
At the end Odysseus has his qualms of his own going against the gods entring through the trojan horse and attacking at night all of this arent honarable according to him its not the ways that gods decreed upon them although those qualms are never given enough screen time and not explored enough atleast to me. Maybe I missed something and I prob did I can always admit I am wrong and missed some dialogue that states Odysseus had qualms from the start not only in the end.
Well the crux of it all Is its good It does justice to the odyssey a book I read all those years ago and thats all that matters. Well Nolan, you have done it again, grats.
Guys how do I actually know if my laptop is drawing enough power Asus tuff A15
Context Last month my charger broke and it took me a month to find a new one and have it brought over. 2 days ago I plugged it in and yes it was charging, though I did notice it was really slow but i really dont remember how fast my old charger charged as i always kept it plugged in. I also notticed that the performance has dropped alot like i am getting 20-30 fps on light games like peak on lowest setting while I used to get like 80 at highest settings. Like there have been episodes in the past where performance has dropped like this. I remember that one time my nvidia gpu went into extreme power saving mode for a weak. All I wanna know for sure is that is the charger faulty how to check it.
What do you guys call your soda here in pakistan we call all sodas pepsi
You guys prob call it pop or soft drink. But here we call sprite, fanta all sodas pepsi. You wanna offer someone fanta you will say"pepsi piyo gay" will you have a pepsi. I feel pepsi was the first drink to be everywhere in pakistan as a child brought up in a village we only had pepsi and thier line of sodas so thus stuck the name in highschool i remember our street corner store only had pepsi line of products and since i liked the softer taste of coke i used to walk 5 mins further to buy coke. Now 10 years later that street corner store only has coke line of products and a few days ago my mom sent our house worker to buy "pepsi" and imediately after she sent me to buy something else on my way i saw the worker carrying pepsi when I reached the corner store the guy told me that our worker when she asked for pepsi, he told her that they only have coke not pepsi and the worker refused to take coke and walked further onwards to buy pepsi from another store, I do appreciate the dedication✌️
