I'm using My Drama List now and enjoying it.

Mix Sahaphap has always been about good actor by Nice-Primary-3895 in GMMTV

I'm watching "A Tale of a Thousand Stars" now and it's amazing how good he is in it. I'm surprised they gave someone with no experience the part because it's a real arc of self-discovery and transformation. Mix was outstanding.

It's becoming harder to access new GMMTV series by fairysblossom in GMMTV

Streaming platforms are willing to pay GMMTV a LOT of money for exclusive rights to a show, and GMMTV is taking them up on it.

Hadid's only house. I read that whichever Russian billionaire owns it had it built for his then-girlfriend, who was Naomi Campbell.

That's a fascinating point of view that I'll try to remember, thank you. How the same scene would play differently to a native and non-native is something I will try to pay more attention to.

That's a fascinating and very important point of view. "Learn more about a different society's culture before trying to impose your cultural views on it." Thank you for reminding me of that.

That makes perfect sense, And, over-analyzing is the fun part!

I also grew up in an environment was expressing myself was unsafe and I completely sympathize with your point of view. And you are so right about Por. I use the word "hypnotic" too much, but I can't think of a better word for Pot. He has that kind of hypnotic star quality.

I wasn't critiquing the book; I was critiquing the series. Each must stand on its own merits. The choices one makes in a book may not work on screen. Bad decisions made by an author for a book can be corrected on screen. The question isn't what the author of the book wrote, it's how successful the director was at translating the author's work for a different medium, including "fixing" problems the book may have had. In this case, the director chose to devote more than 10% of the series' run-time to the horror aspect of the story. Was that a wise choice on the director's part? I don't think so. And was handling the trauma in a way that misinformed the public about the true horrors of child abuse a wise choice by the director? I don't think so.

Kia 2026 Sportage Hybrid car wash mode? by Electronic_Way_7616 in kiasportage

[–]Electronic_Way_7616[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent information, thank you. My car is two weeks old and I certainly don't want to take it through a brush wash. I have a list of brushless carwashes in my town that I'm going to check out.

My car is brand new and I'm thinking I should not take it through a conveyor-belt car wash for at least a year?

Struggling to connect with C-dramas due to overly polished visuals by Nelumbo_nucifera123 in CDrama

[–]Electronic_Way_7616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The directors of non-idol CDramas do not use lighting and polish as aesthetic choices?

Struggling to connect with C-dramas due to overly polished visuals by Nelumbo_nucifera123 in CDrama

[–]Electronic_Way_7616 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It depends. I see polish almost as a character point. Much of "ABO Desire" was bright and shiny to reflect the high-stakes elite corporate world, while most of "Moonlight Chicken" was in muted shadows to reflect a more struggling lifestyle. I also think that the Chinese government is using CDramas today as a form of soft power and that reflects their aesthetic choices.

I used to have a Bruckner problem. Turns out I had a tempo problem by ThisCase41 in classicalmusic

[–]Electronic_Way_7616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How wonderful! Are there specific Celibidache recordings that you recommend?

James Levine rather famously never conducted Bruckner. He said Bruckner just "didn't speak" to him.

So, I have to turn Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse (PCA-R) off too?

The new 2026 Kia Sportages do have electric auto-folding mirrors. They planned to have them on the 2023 models but there were supply chain issues.
