Excluding Anime and Kurosawa I recommend these South Korean movies: "The Isle" (Seom) and "Bad Guy" (Nabbeun namja) by Ki-duk Kim. Both deals with prostitution, misery and love to the fullest. "Joint Security Area" (Gongdong gyeongbi guyeok JSA) by Chan-wook Park. Takes place at the...

The last movie I saw was "The Time of the Wolf" (Le Temps du loup) by Mikael Haneke. It wasn't bad but for being Haneke it was too sweet and had somewhat stereotypical characters in my opinion. I'd recommend seeing Haneke's "Benny's Video" and "Funny Games" instead.

I think you choose the wrong books to begin with. The only other book by Heinlen that is harder to chew than the ones you picked (with the possible exception of "Friday which I haven't read") is "Time Enough For Love" out of the books I've read at least. If you didn't finish them it's...

I clicked on an advertising link once that said "Do you hate chick lit". Which was advertisement for an anti chick lit book that had a nice description and I planned to request it for a library but the humour on the website turned me off eventually.

I have plenty written and unwritten books on my reading list (in case this made someone extremely confused I want to make it clear that they are unwritten on the list, it's not books that haven't been written yet). I only have two books on the shelf that are waiting to be read at the moment...

Try Wikipedia. Keep in mind that there aren't any definitive definitions.

The kids should stay out of my gingerbread house I don't follow books news such as reviews, magazines or television shows because they usually don't bring up books that are of interest to me. It's usually social realistic novels that want to opinionate or detective stories. There's probably...

Kid, read again.

The Piano Teacher by Elfriede Jelinek (Nobel prize winner)

One of my personal favourites among deviations is when strangers keep holding your hand when they've shaken it. It goes against all moral norms and usually requires confrontation to get your hand back.

I think you should follow your own advice and say what's unclear to you. To answer your first question, I mentioned liberalism and Novella mentioned "liberal". A liberal can be defined as someone who fancy the ideology liberalism (political and economic freedom in this case).

I think it's good that action films with cheesy one liners at least are represented. I think that some of the movies on that list are on it because they were innovative at their time rather than being movies that withstand time. I haven't seen it yet but from what I've heard "The Birth of a...

Kino Kino Lots of overrated movies in my opinion. Out of those I would recommend the following: The Seven Samurai "Godfathers" Rashomon Andrei Rublev Blade Runner Stalker The following aren't too bad either: Jules and Jim, Taxi Driver, Psycho, Persona, Chinatown, M, Barry Lyndon...

I wrote North America on purpose as to include both citizens of the United states of America and Canadians because they have had the same way of using the word "liberal" from what I've seen. Is that incorrect? Although I keep forgetting that North America also includes Greenland, Mexico and...

Have any of you been wedgied? Is it something that actually is performed outside the television box? In our culture we do not have such things.

Take me internally magemanda, do you mean that I'm great at avoiding flames or that my question was extremely controversial for some reason?

I'd suggest something school bookish that explains what's considered the three main branches of politics, socialism, liberalism and conservatism. Otherwise I recommend "In Defense of Global Capitalism " (Till världskapitalismens försvar) by Johan Norberg. Globalization is a pretty hot topic...

How to make worm babies read It's probably not something bibliophiles would like to watch because of the possibilities of spoilers. What books did you read?

I gave up "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" after about two chapters since I wasn't very fond of the style at all. Two chapters should generally be enough to tell if you want to complete the book or not. But I gave it another try since I have this agenda to read all the books that the...

Very nice. I think it's supposed to symbolize the sadism of man. The natural desire to mess things up just for the sake of it. For people without bandwidth I recommend fr-08: .the .product.
