Quebec City vs Las Vegas
by PrancingSkeleton- 17 replies
- 1.1k views
As an avid hockey fan, I've been following the NHL expansion very closely. It seems that the two cities who are competing for a team are Quebec City and Las Vegas. Personally, I'd really like to see Quebec City get the Nordiques back. I'd love to see the fierce rivalry between them and the Canadiens. Yes, Quebec City is a smaller city than Las Vegas, but Quebec has the fans. If you have ever visited Quebec, or anywhere in Canada, especially during the playoffs or Olympics (double double Canadiangold btw for all the Team USA fans), that's all they talk about. When Canada was down 2-0 against the USA with 15 minutes left, my French teacher cancelled the rest of his class so…

"We had a meeting and your here sleep, where have you been the last two days?" "Nowhere boss, I had family issues ok-" "-Stop lying! I said no more side jobs, what the fuck did you do?"

Country vs City 1 2
by ScottyB- 3 followers

Where would you rather live? Close, or in a major city, or away from it, towards the country? There are many pros and cons for living in each area and I'm curious to see what you guys prefer and why and where you actually live now. I grew up very close to the city and have been there all my life. I have also lived in a ski town for 4 months on 2 separate occasions, which is usually a country town but obviously very busy with tourists during peak season and I loved it there. The older I have gotten, the more I realised that I hate the city and pretty much everything about it. I've always thought of eventually moving to the country at one point or another and the main th…

Now that my backyard is done, you all no longer have to hear me whining and complaining about how ugly it was. Not like any of you really cared anyway because you didn't have to look at that eye sore everyday. Our yards are fairly small in Las Vegas compared to others around the country/world. We had a blank canvas to start with since our home was new construction. BEFORE: See? SUPER FUGLY! I had to live with this disaster for almost three years. Where's my award for patience and tolerance? AFTER: Now I get to go patio furniture shopping!! Since we are in the desert, we opted for a smaller patch of grass. It's about 400 sq ft worth,…

We are all only human and sometimes make mistakes, although some more than others This thread is to share some silly mistakes you have made I will start by what inspired me to make this thread, it's not that bad, but I rarely make mistakes (at least that's what I think haha), and this is a stupid simple mistake that in hind site, you go what the hell was I thinking!? Last night I cooked some rissoles in a frying pan and there was a bit of oil (or so I thought) left in the bottom of the pan. I poured it into the sink, over some other dishes as well. I was trying to get some burnt bits of the non stick pan before they stuck.. It turned out to be fat or grease, and I s…

About a month ago, my daughter went to Disneyland with her choir class from school. When she came back, she had this rash/hives on her chest and arms. The dermatologist said it could've been an allergic reaction to the laundry detergent. As the days and weeks go by, her and my son are complaining about bug bites and I chalk it up to the mosquitos that get in the house sometimes. Well...

Memorial Day plans?

For our United States members, do you have any plans for Memorial Day? Other than remembering our fallen soldiers, we usually just grill some steak and corn on the cob and relax for the day. If we had family members living closer, I'm sure we'd be having small gatherings at a relatives house. There's a lot of people who use it as a reason to get drunk as hell and endanger everyone on the road by driving, so we tend to just stay home or around the neighborhood. If it's not too hot, we might take the kid's to the park. Otherwise, they can just swim in the backyard.

for Mother's Day then you need to order them MONDAY!! If you wait you may not get them or get exactly what you want because this is the busiest holiday for American and Canadian florists (dunno bout the rest of the world). Be sure to order them from a real florist and not a box shipper like 1800flowers, proflowers, etc.. FTD and Teleflora are not florists, they merely pass the orders onto real florists but at a price... If you need help in figuring out what to get you can always call our shop and we can help you out so you know what to order. Or you can order thru us and we can send the order to a florist closest to you. (cheaper to order from your florist rather than…

106Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #120 (April 15-21) Of Time and the City dir. Terence Davies/2008/1h18m Of Time and the City is a documentary collage film made up of newsreel and archive footage that builds up a picture of the director's childhood in Liverpool during the 50's and 60's. This is like film as a memory, fragmented and broken into unrelated segments as if it were edited by stream of consciousness all scored to a majestic classical soundtrack. The narration, by Davies himself, is just like the rest of the film, at times he snarls about religion and the royal family, at others he rhapsodises about his working class upbringing, his s*xual awakening. Both incredibly personal and universal – he could be talking about a thousand cities, a thousand lives – the juxtaposition of dirt poor children playing in the streets set to highbrow classical music does become a little laboured over the length of the film, but that is my only small negative I have for this very moving picture of time and place. 9/10 Joint Security Area dir. Park Chan-wook/2000/1h48m On the border of North and South Korea two Northern soldiers are killed by a soldier from the South with the investigation uncovering what seems to be a very strange mystery – too many bullets fired, stories not matching up – but the truth is much simpler and much more tragic. Director Park Chan-wook is a master of unravelling mysteries in interesting ways – Oldboy and the recent Decision to Leave being two prime examples – and this is no different, with the investigation uncovering more information relayed through flashbacks. Saying anything more about the plot would be to spoil it, but the tension never lets up, even during moments of levity, because one wrong move would be disastrous for both sides. The two lead performances of South Korean Sgt. Lee (Lee Byung-hun) and the North's Sgt. Oh (Song Kang-ho, probably the biggest star in Korean film right now thanks to his work with b*ng Joon-ho) are excellent. The film also ends with a brilliant still image from a scene in the middle of the film that is given a whole new meaning thanks to the context we subsequently get. 9/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Dead of Night dir. Charles Crichton, Basil Dearden, Robert Hamer, Alberto Cavalcanti/1945/1h43m Dead of Night is an anthology horror film that stars Mervyn Johns as Walter Craig, an architect invited to a cosy little country inn to see about renovations, but when he arrives he realises that all of the people there, total strangers, are people he has seen in a dream, a dream where something terrible happens at the end, but he can't remember what. We then get four of the guests telling spooky stories of their own, which makes up the majority of the film. While the first three stories are good, especially the more comedic one about a dead golfer haunting his friend, it's the last one that really sticks with you. It stars Michael Redgrave as ventriloquist Maxwell Frere who goes mad with jealousy thinking that his d*mmy Hugo wants to leave him for another ventriloquist. It felt very much like an inspiration for the brilliant Anthony Hopkins film Magic (and every other creepy ventriloquist's d*mmy in media.) Chilling and charming in equal measure, this is a fun watch with some genuine thrills sprinkled throughout. 9/10 The Guard dir. John Michael McDonagh/2011/1h36m Mean, miserable, drug addled and prostitute loving small town Irish cop Gerry Boyle (Brendan Gleeson) is less than pleased when he's teamed up with FBI agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) to bust an international drug smuggling ring. This is a black comedy with a real mean streak that you can't help but to compare to the works of the director's brother Martin McDonagh, particularly In Bruges. It's a testament to this film that it's not a totally unflattering comparison. Gleeson is always a joy to watch, even when he's playing someone so aggressively unlikeable. Cheadle doesn't really have a lot to do other than be amazed that Boyle is saying/doing the things that he's saying/doing, but he does it well. It does fell a little too mean spirited at points, but that is softened by a few scenes where Boyle meets with his equally foul-mouthed mother (Fionnula Flanagan), and I really liked Mark Strong's character of a drug dealer who feels like he's above it all. 7/10 The Party dir. Sally Potter/2017/1h11m Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) is throwing a party to celebrate getting a shadow ministerial position but her husband Bill (Timothy Spall) seems distant and distracted, her best friend April (Patricia Clarkson) is splitting up with her partner, the very zen Godfried (Bruno Ganz), and Tom (Cillian Murphy) has turned up upset with a load of cocaine and a gun. A blackly comic social satire, this gets a little too verbose at times and feels like the characters are just spouting ideologies rather than having conversations for a lot of the very short runtime, but when it is as well written as this is you can forgive that for the most part. The performances are all solid. Clarkson's withering insults had me cackling every time, and I couldn't get enough of Ganz's Godfried, especially when he starts a therapy session for Bill and Tom. This film also has a really strong ending which I didn't see coming but that the script had seeded subtly throughout in a very smart way. 8.5/10 The Cure dir. Charlie Chaplin/1917/24m In this mid tier Chaplin short he plays an alcoholic who checks in to a health spa in order to sober up, but it's going to be a hard job when he brings a case full of booze with him. In the end the spa's well of curative water is spiked with alcohol and everyone enjoys getting blasted. During the film he makes classic slapstick out of revolving doors, the changing rooms and has a wrestling match with a burly masseuse. For me, whenever Chaplin strays from the character of the little tr*mp his films lose a bit of their heart and humanity. Rather than actually having anything to say this film is more like his earlier works in that it's just a succession of gags. They're really good ones performed by the best to ever do it, but when you know he's capable of more then you can't help but feel a little disappointed. That said, this is still better than the majority of films from the time and we're lucky to still have them. 6.5/10 Dilating for Maximum Results dir. Nyala Moon/2023/14m Trans woman Dreya (writer/director Nyala Moon) is going to hook up with her online boyfriend for the first time, but she has never been with a man and hasn't dilated in years, with this comedy following her as she tries to get ready. You learn something new every day, and the day I watched this film I learned that trans women need to dilate to stop from closing up, and that is what we get here in what I can only call a zany way. My main problem with this film is that the comedy is very TikTok if that makes sense. It's just not my taste, but that's me being an old man not hip with the kids. I do like how much of Moon's personality shines through here, she's very engaging and likeable. I also appreciate seeing a film about a trans woman that's not depressing and only focuses on negative experiences. 6/10 TRAY TRAY KO dir. Seba Calfuqueo/2022/6m (no trailer so here's the artist performing another piece in a gallery) This avant-garde piece of indigenous art see filmmaker Calfuqueo drag a long train of shimmering blue material through the Chilean rainforest to a sacred spot at the base of a waterfall. The only sounds are that of the forest and the water. The material is like a stream of man's making, leaving its mark on the landscape but only for a second, only until Calfuqueo hass passed by. There's a gorgeous overhead shot of the synthetic stream running next to a real one, man in harmony with nature. Hypnotic and meditative. 7/10- 2

Anatomy of a Fall (2023) dir Justine Triet This won this year's Oscar and Bafta Best Original Screenplay awards, and it is a very good story. It stars Sandra Hüller as author Sandra, living with her husband and son in the French Alps. When her husband is found dead, having apparently fallen from an upper floor balcony of their house, an investigation is launched and, eventually, she is prosecuted for murder. I would not call this a thriller. It's neither about police trying to catch a killer nor a typical court room drama of an innocent person falsely accused. We simply watch the story unfold and see the evidence, not being told anything more than we would if we were one of the jury. I think the idea is you make your own mind up about whether Sandra is guilty or not. A lot of it is played out at the trial, but whether it's because it's a French court, and they do things very differently to British and American courts, or just the specifics of this case, it's not like any court-room based film I have ever seen before. It feels a lot more real than a story being told by a film usually does, but still not like a drama-documentary either. It's mainly in English, Sandra is German, her husband and son French, they, tend to speak in English to each other and she gives most of her evidence at the trial in English too. The acting is very good, particularly from Hüller. It's well worth the awards and nominations it got. 9 / 10- 2
