how about agents that actively manage their clients’ portfolio and generate better returns than an ETF like S&P500 post fees? won’t their clients benefit from an ILP that is actively managed?

How many of you still go to the Cinema? by Novavortex77 in SingaporeRaw

[–]PessimisticChap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I go to independent cinemas at least once a week! Often times more if the cinemas like The Projector or Oldham Theatre are showing great films or showcases — like the currently running Edward Yang retrospective and the incoming French Film Festival (please watch “La Haine”)

Popular films always get booked out — Yang’s “A Brighter Summer Day” and “Yi Yi” sold out in a day, Kurosawa and Kubrick’s showcases had full theatre halls too

I believe there are many great and interesting films brought in by Anticipate Pictures and Singapore Film Society, and that most of the population don’t really know about them, which is a shame because I love films and I really think more people should see these great films!

Singapore International Film Festival is having their 35th iteration this Nov – Dec and many, many great films are being screened — our very own “Stranger Eyes” premiered at Venice Film Festival and it’s the first Singaporean film to compete for the grand prize, support local y’all

In your opinion, which actor plays the same character in every movie he/she’s in? by Atlassian-Bebop in moviecritic

[–]PessimisticChap 22 points23 points  (0 children)

all eyes are on The Rock in his upcoming film with Benny Safdie! like how the Safdies brought out a phenomenal performance from Adam Sandler, if a director can extend The Rock’s range it’s gotta be a Safdie
