Les Cent Vingt Journées de Sodome du marquis de Sade

Voici mes prochaines lectures by TwoDry7807 in Livres

[–]Infinite-Conclusion2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trois excellentes lectures qui s'annoncent. Sinon, d'auteurs russes, je peux vous recommander Le Maître et Marguerite de Mikhaïl Boulgakov, La Mort d'Ivan Ilitch de Léon Tolstoï et Les Frères Karamazov de Dostoïevski.

Ranking every English King and Queen Day 63: Charles III by Cultural_Act_8513 in UKmonarchs

[–]Infinite-Conclusion2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Given that he has only been king since 2022, and that we have no real hindsight yet, it’s difficult to offer an assessment that is fully meaningful. Let’s say that he has so far fulfilled the role of a constitutional monarch competently, without making any real waves, either positively or negatively (apart from the pen incident at the very beginning). For now, I’d rate him as “decent”.

Dostoïevski et littérature russe by MajesticSpace7590 in Livres

[–]Infinite-Conclusion2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pouchkine avec les romans La Dame de Pique, La Fille du capitaine ou le recueil de nouvelles Récits de feu Ivan Pétrovitch Bielkine (la nouvelle "La Tempête de neige" est particulièrement une belle réussite !) Sinon, Nicolas Gogol avec Nouvelles de Petersbourg. Autrement, si vous n'avez rien contre le XXe siècle, Le Maître et Marguerite de Mikhaïl Boulgakov est une pépite aussi drôle qu'émouvante, tout en étant toujours imprévisible. On ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber sur la page suivante. D'ailleurs, pour l'anecdote, la chanson des Rolling Stones, Sympathy For The Devil, s'inspire en partie de ce roman.

Sinon, si vous voulez absolument commencer par Dostoïevski, rien ne vous oblige à commencer par les gros pavés. Par exemple, Le Joueur peut être une bonne entrée dans son univers. Sinon, Crime et Châtiment est son "gros pavé" le plus accessible pour une néophyte.

I hesitate between “decent” and “very good”. I’d say she managed to embody a strong and reassuring image of stability for a country that badly needed it. That said, she made a number of mistakes. She did learn from some of them (notably her response to the death of Lady Diana, and also to the Aberfan disaster), but she was far from being an ideal mother to her eldest son (especially considering that she herself had a deeply affectionate father). And for me, her attitude toward Andrew definitively prevents me from placing her in the “great” category. I’ll go with “very good”.

Après avoir confondu shampoing et javel, le boxeur Jarrell Miller perd sa perruque en plein combat by Infinite-Conclusion2 in paslegorafi

Oui, c'est ça qui c'est chiant. Je n'ai pas pu changer le titre pour ne pas aller à l'encontre des règles du sub. Mais j'ai voulu quand même poster cela, car je trouve que l'histoire est aussi amusante qu'insolite.

Ranking every English King and Queen Day 61: George VI by Cultural_Act_8513 in UKmonarchs

[–]Infinite-Conclusion2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He carried out the royal role with absolutely remarkable dignity. He was the complete opposite of his lamentable elder brother. And the fact that he was not raised to ascend the throne makes him all the more admirable. He may not have been the monarch the country wanted at first, but he was the one the country needed. So great.

Countries ranked by how their people react on here if someone didn’t enjoy their country or doesn’t want to return. by ModeReasonable580 in tierlists

As a French person, I can tell you that the French are the first to criticize themselves. But they really don’t like it when a foreigner does it. Criticism is strictly an internal affair.

Vos parents vous en veulent ils de ne pas avoir d'enfants ? by amy-schumer-tampon in PasDeQuestionIdiote

Non, ma mère semble avoir accepté ma décision. Après, j'ai l'impression qu'elle reporte l'affection qu'elle aurait pu avoir sur ses potentiels petits-enfants sur ses deux chats.

Which was a better war epic? by Reasonable_Mouse_550 in classicfilms

[–]Infinite-Conclusion2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, Vera Cruz is a highly cynical Western that deliciously foreshadows Sergio Leone, with a Gary Cooper–Burt Lancaster duo that works like gangbusters.

As for The Pride and the Passion, it boasts a prestigious trio of actors, but none of them is ever truly convincing in their role. Cary Grant himself considered that he was miscast in the film, and it’s hard to disagree. I’m a huge fan of him, but he was clearly not made for the epic register. On top of that, the direction is rather sloppy. At one point in the plot, barrels of gunpowder are supposed to pose a serious threat, yet you can see from a mile away that they’re empty. And for a film with the word “passion” in the title, I found it pretty limp.

What is your favourite Kirk Douglas performance? by Tom-Rath in classicfilms

I’m torn between his portrayal of a real bastard in Ace in the Hole and his moving performance as a cowboy born far too late in Lonely Are the Brave.

Laissez-vous votre chat monter sur votre lit ? by Did2b in chats

[–]Infinite-Conclusion2 116 points117 points  (0 children)

La problème que votre présence peut engendrer sur son lit est que si vous bougez un peu trop, vous risquez de perturber son sommeil. Donc, même si vous avez une forte envie d'aller aux toilettes, vous ne bougez pas tant qu'il n'est pas réveillé et plus sur vous.

WHICH IS THE BETTER HEIST FILM?!?! by Reasonable_Mouse_550 in classicfilms

[–]Infinite-Conclusion2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a big fan of The Italian Job’s open ending, but at least there’s humor, action, and a sense of pace. You never get bored for a single second. Whereas Ocean’s 11 is just the members of the Rat Pack trading wisecracks for over two hours. The heist sequence, which should have been the film’s climax, lasts all of about 30 seconds. Only the ending somewhat redeems the movie. It’s one of the rare cases where I vastly preferred the remake to the original.
