  1. How do they compare against Tomas Alfredson's film (with Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, John Hurt)?
  2. I finished The Russian Master and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov, so now I'm free for both the Halloween read and the Two Cities read.
  3. I don't trust Russia, nor do I approve of anything I read about it. My fear is that some people among us do, even with a high standard of living. Does she have any book like War's Unwomanly Face or Voices from Chernobyl about current Russia under Putin and Medvedev's rule?
  4. Christmasland is a pleasant name, it should be a nice place for a meet.
  5. That's cool, I wish you good luck. I have a Codecademy account, but I never give it use.
  6. Your english has already improved, keep going. I'ts a good idea. What are you learning?
  7. Isn't it interesting that this series' mediatic antagonist only shows up on season four? At least it's the impression I have, season 1 was very good as well.
  8. Do you agree with this difference between male and female authors? I'm too tired to think of it now and give my interpretation.
  9. I knew a princess in a similar situation, it was roughly ten years ago. I hope you're better now.
  10. Good 50/50 interview; the few questions I had were cleared further down, which left me nothing to ask now.
  11. Battlestar Galactica: Remake 3x11 - I'm abandoning it. It was still a good run.
  12. David Ayer excelled in directing an average and generic film last year, so I expect the same this time.
  13. Here's the article. The majority of the population supports the annexation of Crimea, believes western sanctions are meant to harm Russia, and are unhappy with the current economy. It depicts interesting facts and interpretations, some in accordance to your post.
  14. DC Comics and Warner Bros Pictures will produce a series of superhero films with a shared fictional universe. The first film, Man of Steel by Zack Snyder, was released in 2013. The following two will release next year. Directed by Zack Snyder, starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg Directed by David Ayer, starring Margot Robbie and Jared Leto
  15. I don't know if the russian elections are rigged, but the truth is apparently the majority of russians approve of their government's actions. I feel we in the west have been under plenty of anti-russian propaganda, but as the site Russia Today is heavily biased I don't know of a proper, impartial russian source to show their side of events. However, the ruling political party United Russia has a suspicious number of years in power, judging by this and this. About the author, I agree it takes courage to write against Putin and with harsh truths.
  16. Jürgen Klopp is awesome, Dortmund's Champions League run in 2013 deserved a better ending. I hope he succeeds with Liverpool (I'm sorry Ben).
  17. I don't know if you agree, but this thread could be used for both Marvel and DC films (e.g. "DC x Marvel Universe" or any other title Raven likes). I suggest this because I thought of creating a separate thread for the upcoming DC films in parallel to this one, but I think it wouldn't have enough posts.
  18. Translating and providing books from Nobel awarded authors should be a cultural priority by any country worthy of the name, if they have the possibility of doing so.
  19. Battlestar Galactica: Remake 3x05 - I want to live in a civilian fleet. Downton Abbey 6x03 - Will watch it now, in lieu of the thread
  20. Today was the first time I heard of her. That shows how much I know of contemporary literature.
  21. Discover Weekly's personal highlights.
  22. Digital distribution is currently a mess in a lot of services, when it should actually be easy and simple. In the stores one enters, pays and leaves with the bought items. Digitally I don't know whether I own what I buy, how many downloads I have, if it's to be modified by updates and how I can protect it while still having it compatible with the system. It's why I don't have anything digital, and I'd love to. I'd like to actually scan the barcode of every book I have and receive a digital copy.
  23. I'm on my current book's last pages. Are we to read something haloween-related this month? I'll read Tales of Mystery and Imagination by E. A. Poe next. I think someone is already reading Revival.
