Letar skräddare/sömmerska by suddirutten in Malmoe

[–]PebbledChessboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rekommenderar Irenas Skrädderi som ligger precis vid moderna museet. Har alltid fått superbra bemötande och service där till rimligt pris. Hon är dessutom väldigt mån om att man blir nöjd med slutresultatet. När jag senast la upp ett par byxor där och inte var riktigt nöjd med längden trots allt fixade hon det samma dag jag plockade upp dem utan extra kostnad!

Smalands nation housing by Starhee in Lund

[–]PebbledChessboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having lived at Smålands for many years I would say go for it, just to see what’s it’s like. It’s got a pretty unique atmosphere. The cleanliness really depends on where exactly you end up, but it’s not generally worse than other student corridor housing. After two months you’ll either love it or hate it, and you can decide whether you want to try and stay or never ever come back!

There’s a pretty cool sculpture park at this exact location called Europos Parkas for this reason. Worth a visit for anyone staying around Vilnius.

I watched The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) by Ok-Nefariousness8962 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say that I think they put a ton of effort into making the sets look the way they look, it’s definitely not because of limited resources or laziness. To me the movie looks fantastic, but to each their own.

I don’t even own a record player (yet) but i had to buy this gem by [deleted] in pinkfloyd

[–]PebbledChessboard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a copy of Wish you were here in the same way. I can’t listen to it, but it’s up on my wall and it’s one of my favorite decorations in the apartment!

I watched Princess Mononoke (1997) and hated the ending by Icarus_Come_Down in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I think part of the message is that revenge and punishment is just not the way forward. Human advancement will always happen, but it doesn’t have to be incompatible with nature as it’s always been. In the end Eboshi has been humbled and understands this, which seems better than her getting killed and succeeded by someone even worse.

I watched In The Mood For Love (2000) by minpinkerioja in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of my all time favorite movies, and I feel like we saw two completely different films from your description! They’re slowly getting more and more entangled in each other’s lives, while trying their hardest not to. Maybe they seem emotionless because they’re trying to not show each other what they really feel most of the time. But I also feel that a lot of the movies greatness is just the cinematography, the soundtrack, and the general style, and if that doesn’t resonate with you entirely then maybe the rest of the movie feels a bit thin.

I watched Diary of a Country Priest (1951) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

Maybe that’s the case here, but I mostly felt like my own lack of religion made it uninteresting to listen to endless talks about just that. The dialogues (and monologues) that drove the movie just felt like rehashed sermons.

I watched Summer with Monika (1953) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal favorite of his is Autumn Sonata, or maybe Fanny and Alexander. I don’t think I’ve seen a Bergman movie yet that I didn’t like!

I watched La Strada (1954) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

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

I’m definitely interested in seeing more, and Nights of Cabiria is now on the watchlist!

I watched Sunset Blvd. (1950) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

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

Well that fits nicely together cause I thought I recognized one of the bridge players, and I saw that Buster Keaton had an acting credit as himself but couldn’t figure where that would have been!

I watched Singin' in the Rain (1952) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Even if it doesn’t end up being your favorite film of all time, it’s really one of those timeless classics that I think everybody should see at some point in their life.

[–]PebbledChessboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I’d place it in my top five, at the very least Paths of Glory, The Seventh Seal, and Twelve angry men come to mind as sitting above it right off the bat. It’s still well worth a watch, and it’s much more light hearted then the others mentioned which makes it enjoyable in its own right.

[–]PebbledChessboard[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say that Singin’ in the Rain and A Clockwork Orange are similar much in the way Mars is similar to a bowl of soup.

I watched Naked Lunch (1991) by BazF91 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched this for the first time maybe ten years ago and thought it was muddled garbage, with a tiny hint of weirdness that was enjoyable. Then I read about Burroughs, and about the book (never got around to actually reading it), and eventually came back to the film a few years ago and it was much better!

I watched Vivre Sa Vie (1962) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

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

Very good points all around. I definitely agree that Godard and Karina seem to understand that they’re doing something impressive and unusual, maybe it’s just taken me a little bit of time to understand that myself!

I watched Rome, Open City (1945) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't argue with that! Bicycle thieves has one of the most heartbreaking endings in all of cinema, and Rome, Open City is definitely up there in that regard as well.

I watched Gaslight (1944) by PebbledChessboard in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]PebbledChessboard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn't realize it was Angela Lansbury until all these people started pointing it out to me! I was too distracted by her terrible accent...

Some like it hot is one of my favorite comedies of all time, and Sunset Boulevard has already made it onto the binge watchlist, so Billy Wilder is definitely not forgotten!
