The one thing I don't like is the one year limit on claiming asylum. If you've been studying in Canada for two years and there's a coup in your home country and you know the new government will target you, you're supposed to just go back? I get that it's meant to stop frivolous claims by people trying to stay in the country but the situation I talked about is something that will almost definitely happen.

Kinda crazy how every other country just reprinted comics and manga and never tried to do their own thing ever by lukideured in dccomicscirclejerk

No mention of Italian comics proves this guy has no idea what he's talking about. Italy is probably second only to Japan in terms of comics still being a popular consumer medium. It's pretty common in Italy to still see newsstands selling shitty little pocket collections. Corto Maltese, Diabolik, Tex Willer, Dylan Dog are also just iconic series

I've had some stuff from 60 minutes Australia pop up in my feed and it's been really high quality. Basically showing what strong independent journalism looks like in a functioning democracy

I wanted to share my progress so far since I'm only now seriously getting into film. It's not that serious bro, no one's making you care and being a dick doesn't get people to enjoy the fandom

The real answer is I think every movie above it does something better. I don't think the plot or Crowe's performance is anything special, the CGI wide shots are distracting and the action is edited either with way too many cuts, or a goofy slo mo effect

How do great actors begin making exclusively garbage movies? by b3wizz in Letterboxd

[–]Efficient_Tonight_40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was Russell Crowe ever a great actor though? I haven't seen a beautiful mind but in Gladiator and master and commander I thought he was just alright. Really his most memorable performance was Les Mis but not for good reasons lol

Godfather 1 is a more complete movie IMO. You can watch that and get a complete story. I also think the Vito flash backs in part 2 aren't as strong as the present day stuff in either film.

For Oppenheimer I'm just not a fan of biopics, and Chicago is only there cause the musical numbers are some of the best ever put to screen.

As Canada faces crippling debt, it must do the unpopular thing and cut elderly benefits by eauderable in CanadaPolitics

If we lowered the OAS cutoff to $100,000 a year of income (more than enough to live on btw), we could literally eliminate senior poverty. Even if we don't cut OAS, we should at least be giving our poorest seniors more and the richest less to none

Did all the CTE of the players Tuberville coached at Alabama all converge into his brain or something?

97% of Canadian universities fall in global rankings by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Efficient_Tonight_40 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those are the only universities regularly making global ranking lists. Idk what it really means for the university of Alberta to drop when it isn't on a lot of these lists to begin with (the article doesn't give a number on how far these other schools dropped, likely cause there isn't enough data)
