Different countries and lifestyles fascinate me so i was wondering.......what's the view from your window? I'll start with a rare day today in northern Scotland when it ain't raining! ......and the view from my old house in Sunderland (can't think why I moved!!). Yes, the neighbours across the road ALWAYS dried their underwear in the window. The plastic bag was a nice touch, it replaced the inner tube from the week before!

Just wondering what you all do to make money? My wife owns her own flower shop (florist) and I work at the shop as well. I do not play with the flowers though, I am the IT guy, maintenance, delivery, etc...... I grew up in construction, building houses then went on to being a machinist but I have no desire to do either anymore but being multi skilled comes in handy when things need fixed at home and work.

OCDish Behavior/Rituals

So one of my neighbors who I most mornings arrive at the parking lot the same time as, I've noticed that he always unlocks his car 3 times. Found it quite interesting and a bit funny. He then hops right into the car and drives off right away so by the looks of it, it's hopefully not something that dictates his life. Just a bit ODCish behavior. That got me thinking if there's anyone on here who've odd things like that, rituals that has to be completed before doing something/sports/going to bed, etc.?

I know we have some Cat owners around here and one of the Internet's greatest uses is Cat photos. So let me see them π Here are mine. Casper (white) and Oreo. Both rescues found during Tropical Storm watches. Oreo is almost 4 years old and was abandoned by her mother in the neighbors yard. She is the typical Cat that doesn't really want anything to do with anyone unless she needs food. Strangely enough though she has been "fixed" but absolutely loves when I rub her belly. Casper showed up out of thin air. One second there was nothing and the next he was outside the door. He is only 6 months old and is growing like crazy. He is more dog than cat. Will…

Going of of @Sinister thread https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/19520-how-much-ya-wrench/, what is your brand of tool you prefer to use? For hand tools like wrenches, sockets, etc.. I have mostly old Craftsman tools, I have been buying some Kobalts lately though. While Snap On, Matco and S&K are great tools they are way out of my price range when the old Craftmans work just fine. For battery/electric tools I use Dewalt or Milwuakee, I prefer the Milwuakees, from the days of being a contractor we used those and Skil brand. Air tools, Ingersol Rand is the way to go, pricey but they last. I got several IR tolls when I was worked for Alamo Grou…

So here in Denmark we have a few traditions for turning 25 and 30 while being unmarried. At 25 it's pretty simple, you get a cinnamon shower. At 30 it's peber accompained by... let's say an artistic piece planted outside the house. It's most common with painted oil barrels (sometimes filled with cememt if your friends are real dicks) and then leave the birthday boy with the headache of having to get the shit removed . But it can also be other stuff. Last week I turned 30 and got this: Thankfully I live to rent so they showed kindness and gave me this small piece easy to remove again. Today we're a celebrating a mate and since he has his own prope…

After @Squirrel mentioned the strain on ISPβs with a lot of the world choosing to stay at home right now I quickly thought to my games collection and what I could play off line whilst itself isolating if we did start to see connections go wayward. For me I would probably go back toe Breathe of the Wild on my Wii U. I never finished it due to online gaming commitments and would happily boot this up again. What games would you turn to or recommend?

Saltburn (2023) dir Emerald Fennell Barry Keoghan stars as student Oliver who becomes friends with the very wealthy Felix (Jacob Elordi) and gets invited to spend the summer holiday at his family's country estate, Saltburn. To me, Keoghan is most famous for his role in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and that makes plot similarities stand out a bit more as Oliver works his way into Felix's family, in an increasingly creepy way. It's a bit nauseating at times, I assume intentionally. Two scenes in particular came close to being un-watchable for me as I have quite low tolerance for anything gross to do with various bodily fluids. Not one to watch while you are eating! I didn't see exactly where the plot was going but how it ended was not a surprise. However the actual last 10 β 15 mins seemed quite rushed, as if the writer wanted to include more but someone decided the film could not be any longer. The acting is very good, particularly Keoghan plus Rosamund Pike and Richard E Grant as Felix's parents. 8 / 10- 1

What I Watched This Week #114 (March 4 β 10) La Pointe-Courte dir. Agnes Varda/1955/1h20m The debut film from one of my favourite filmmakers, Agnes Varda, is also the starting point for one of the most influential cinematic movements in history, the French new wave, often wrongly credited to Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless in 1960. It is a film of two halves. One a portrait of the titular fishing village where we take in the various local characters and their everyday problems ranging from government interference in their fishing operations due to pollution to the illness of a young child. The second half looks closer still at the troubled marriage between two unnamed people (Philippe Noiret, Silvia Monfort). La Pointe-Courte is his hometown and she is visiting from Paris to see whether their relationship can still work, paralleling the troubled community itself. A blend of fiction and almost documentary like observation this non judgemental look at the lives of the working class prefigures later documentary works of Varda's like The Gleaners and I made forty five years later. But that documentary style doesn't stop the film from being beautifully shot with some very striking compositions, especially when, during a conversation between the two, the two faces of the leads are blended together in a very impressionistic way that reminded me of a shot from Ingmar Bergman's Persona. There are times when the film feels a bit ponderous and it does lack a lot of the playfulness of Varda's best films but that is made up for by the sheer number of cats prominently featured. 8/10 Two George Melies shorts: The Man with the Rubber Head 1901/3m The Diabolic Tenant 1909/7m These two films from the man who put the magic in the movies showcase his talents but at two different points in his career and really highlights the progress he made in just a few years. The Man with the Rubber Head is a simple gag film with Melies playing a man who inflates a head (also Melies) to gigantic proportions before an explosive punchline. In The Diabolic Tenant Melies plays a devilish trickster who rents out a room, furnishing it all from one trunk like an evil Mary Poppins. His furniture comes to life and he is banished so has to pack up in a hurry before scarpering. Both these films make charming use of the camera trickery that he discovered by accident in 1896 which allowed him to make things disappear in a puff of smoke right before our eyes. We see him advance these techniques in these films with him playing with perspective and masking off parts of the film allowing him to pull off tricks that he could never do on the stage. That's what makes watching these films still so enchanting over one hundred years later, the wonder that Melies has at the possibilities of this new toy called film and the ways he could use it to make people gasp at things they've never seen before. The Man with the Rubber Head β 7/10 The Diabolic Tenant β 8/10 Murder Ahoy dir. George p*llock/1964/1h33m The last of the four Miss Marple films starring Margaret Rutherford sees the elderly amateur sleuth and professional busybody investigating an old warship, the HMS Battledore β which is now being used to rehabilitate wayward youths, after one of the trustees of the ship suddenly dies after a visit. This is the first film in the series not based on a story by Agatha Christie, but the writers did an excellent job in crafting a classic whodunnit in her style. There are a hatful of creditable suspects, a couple of extra murders once the investigation has started and a satisfying reveal which culminates in a swordfight between the murderer and Marple, who still has some moves. My favourite thing about this film is the interplay between Marple and the highly strung captain of the ship Captain Rhumstone (Lionel Jeffries), who can't get her off the ship quick enough, so naturally Marple delights in extending her stay for as long as she can. Rutherford is, as always, delightful in the lead role. Cunning and playful in equal measures with a startlingly expressive face she is just a joy to spend time with, so it was a little sad when the credits ran and our time together was over. 8/10 Poor Things dir. Yorgos Lanthimos/2023/2h22m The latest film from the director of The Favourite and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Poor Things stars Emma Stone - who recently won the best actress Oscar for this role - as Bella Baxter, a woman with the mind of an infant who is an experiment of the Frankenstein-esque Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe), who she refers to as God. Wanting to leave the small, safe world that he has made for her, wanting to grow as a person and to learn new things and to travel and experience the world she decides to run off with the slimy lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), leaving behind Godwin's sweet assistant Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef). This is a coming of age story taking cues from Frankenstein, Pinocchio and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and shining it through the grotesque, absurd and sexually liberated lens of Yorgos Lanthimos. Stone fully deserves her Oscar. Bella is such a unique, fully realised character who grows throughout the film more than any other character I've ever seen. Starting as a literal baby we follow her through all of the stages of development and she embodies them so fully that it's totally disarming. The score also follows this development. It starts as discordant and atonal, like a child bashing tunelessly on a piano, but as Bella develops and grows the melodies grow more complex until, by the end, it is a fully developed and complex orchestral score. The direction is also unique and distinctly Lanthimos's own with the best use of the fish-eye lens since late nineties skate videos. The production design is just as unique, presenting us with a beautifully artificial world that feels like the perfect playground for Bella. The rest of the performances are excellent, with Ruffalo being just as good as Stone. His Wedderburn is like an evil David Niven, and it's so fun to see him break down more and more as he realises that Bella is a woman that he can't possess until he's just a shell of a man pulling out his hair screaming in the Parisian snow. This film is a lavish feast for the senses in every respect and one that will stay with you long after the final shot. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! The Holdovers dir. Alexander Payne/2023/2h13m Winter 1970 in a prestigious private school, Paul Giamatti plays ancient history teacher Paul Hunham who has been chosen to stay at the school over the winter break to babysit the small handful of students who have nowhere to go. Pretty much universally disliked by both students and faculty, Hunham slowly starts to form a bond with smart but troubled teenager Angus (Dominic Sessa) and the school's cook Mary (Da'Vine Joy Randolph, winner of this year's best supporting actress Oscar) who is grieving the death of her teenage son who was killed in Vietnam, with the trio eventually forming their own found family. Giamatti really shines in a rare leading role, really taking the opportunity to flex his acting chops and carry a film. I always love seeing actors mostly known for supporting roles excel in the lead like Harry Dean Stanton in Paris, Texas and Giamatti is just as good here. It's a testament to both his ability and the script that you want to spend as much time as you do with such a curmudgeon. But this isn't just a one note character, with more and more layers slowly revealed which leads up to a pretty heroic ending where he does more for this one kid than any teacher before. Randolph is brilliant as Mary, showing a different side to the world than you would normally see in such an elite setting and is really the heart of the film. Sessa is decent in his debut role, but I just didn't really like his character, which may be the point with him being like a young version of Hunham, but teenagers like that are just annoying as f*ck. This is a coming of age film, but it's the coming of age of a grown *ss man and a reminder that it's never too late. 8.5/10 The Iron Claw dir. Sean Durkin/2023/2h12m The Iron Claw tells the true story of the legendary Von Erich wrestling family who were huge in the 80's, the four brothers ruled over with an iron claw by patriarch Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany). Told from the perspective of Kevin Von Erich (Zac Efron) we experience the highs and mostly lows that this family went through. I had a little knowledge of this story before watching this film but I was not prepared for how sad it is, and the amazing thing is that the actual real story is even sadder. Kevin spends a lot of the film scared that he will pass on the Von Erich curse to his wife Pam (Lily James) and young children and when you see what happened to his brothers you might start to think that he's not just being superstitious. Like The Wrestler this is a film that has a love for the sport but portrays it as it really is. The scenes showing in ring action are really well done and the direction makes it feel like a TV broadcast from the period giving it a real feeling of authenticity. Efron and Jeremy Allen White and Harris Dickinson who play Kerry and David Von Erich all look like the real deal and could probably wrestle a decent match in real life. Also like The Wrestler, you don't need to know anything about wrestling to enjoy this film. If anything, I think you may get more out of it if you don't know anything because it really is quite unbelievable. The performances are all of the highest quality. I'm a big fan of Dickinson's from Triangle of Sadness and Scrapper and he continues a run of excellent and varied performances here, even pulling off a pitch perfect Texas accent, but the real standout is Efron who has left High School Musical long behind him, giving a performance here that had me in tears at the last scene. 9/10 The Champion dir. Charlie Chaplin/1915/31m An ambitiously long early short film from Chaplin sees his little tr*mp and his adorable bulldog companion becoming a boxing champion thanks to some luck and a horseshoe hidden in his glove. He is trained to fight the world champion, threatened to throw the fight and falls in love with the trainers daughter, played by Chaplin mainstay Edna Purviance, all within half an hour. It makes Raging Bull look dull and boring in comparison. Some fantastically slapstick fights are the highlights of this film with Chaplin coming out on top despite his clumsy awkwardness. What's great about Chaplin is how he hardly uses any intertitles, relying on performance to tell the story for the most part. He knows to keep it simple and relatable, and in his immortal character of the downtrodden everyman he is able to insert himself into any situation and we will cheer for him. When he becomes world champion we become world champion and life becomes a little better, even if just for a moment. This isn't a masterpiece like a lot of his other, later films, but here he is already a genius honing his craft to the finest edge. 7/10- 1
