  1. Hey, I already posted this in the Coronavirus thread a couple of days ago, but it got swept up by the intesity of the thread and since it's a board game, I'll also post it here.

    Anyway, I came up with a game called Coronaline, which was made out of self-isolation boredom/for eliminating said boredom for as many people as possible. It's fun and simple and you only need a paper, a pencil and 2 marker pens. And a friend in person, even though people also play it over FB Messenger.

    Check out the simple instructions here:

  2. Mon-Fri, 9-5, as a digital manager in a record label company. One of the biggest in our country, but keep in mind this is Slovenia, so we still only have 11 people in the firm. I'm not particulary interested in my work or in the artists we have and it's slowly eating away my youth&energy and the money is so-so, but still, you gotta eat so what can you do.

    On the other hand, I've also started doing music for the theatre in the past year and a half. The money is great, the creativity is great, the process is hard but rewarding. I would love to leave my day-job for this, but I'm to afraid to pull the trigger, because I've only been working with one director for now (4 plays for now) and if things'd get sour between us, I'd be dead.

  3. I read some reviews about Dune and it seems like it's a very involved game that rewards a high player count and involved players that don't shy away from cutthroat gameplay and rules overhead.

     

    I myself gravitate towards lighter games lately. I can't over-recommend Wavelenght, which is basically what I love the most about board games: it makes use of imagination of players and it sprawls very interesting conversations. Its premise is very similar to Codenames - there are 2 teams and one person in a team has information that others don't, so he must give them a clue that will guide them towards the correct solution.

    Tom Vasel described it the best:

    Dyer will be more up your alley then -- it actually owes more to Thomas Bernhard than to Lawrence. It's really genuinely funny in an existential way.

    I'm halfway through Charlie Kaufman's Antkind atm. Incredible. Should appeal to a lot of people here -- think Pynchon meets Kafka meets Beckett with a side of DFW and PKD. And then some.

    Here' the Kirkus Reviews review:

    Where did you get Antkind, since it will be released in July? If the answer's a bit illegal, I'm happy to continue this conversation in DMs!

  5. Watched 8 1/2 for the first time yesterday. Also first Fellini for me. I have trouble with older films because they don't feed you information and story as smooth as films nowadays, but ultimately they usually deliver a deeper type of greatness. I was on the verge of boredom through most of the movie but lo and behold, towards the end everything came together very nicely and I understood the praise. Good one!

  6. It's a meta-film (The Irishman). I see it as a film that exists because of all other Scorsese/De Niro/Pesci gangster films, with Pacino added, because he's also a gangster-film legend. It's probably the last film with all these legends in one place and as such has a bigger, broader meaning. That's also why they put so much money into retouching these old farts and why audience turns a blind eye on these grotesque retouches. Because yes, let's be honest, they look kind of smooth, but sound and move like seniors for the whole duration of the movie. But you couldn't put a De Niro's younger face on a young actor's body and call it a De Niro performance.

    So, as a meta-film, it's actually quite good. It didn't have the energy of Goodfellas, because it's an old farts' movie, but I was entertained. But I can't imagine how it would look to someone who doesn't have a clue about these old legends and films. It would probably suck.

    I just saw WOUNDS, fucked up awesome movie

    The serbian one? Or the new 2019 horror one?

    If any of you haven't seen in, I wholeheartedly recommend serbian WOUNDS. It is one of the better and funniest and most brutal films of the last 3 decades.
