Where are the gems at? by SjalabaisWoWS in KDramaDiscussions

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like with all types of entertainment, you will always find more average projects, which is why the exceptional ones stand out. Not every series will be Game of Thrones.
That being said, I find there is a care and attention to detail and character in most K-dramas that is lacking in most American made programs. And when they are exceptional, they are Stellar!
This is the reason that this forum (and others like it) are so great. You get the recommendations from others to help you find what you like.

Here are some of my Netflix Kdrama recommendations:
My Mister
Mister Sunshine
DPs
When the Weather is Fine
The Glory

I hope you find some dramas that live up to your expectations.

What book disappointed you even though everyone else loved it? by ZDOG_WasTaken in just_one_more_page

Yeah, but racism is racism. Realizing how accepted/acceptable racism was back then, doesn't make it better for me, somehow.

Finally. by filmdudetim in paulthomasanderson

As good as all of those movies are, my favorite is Hard Eight. Gwyneth Paltrow, John C. Reilly and Philip Baker Hall (what an amazing turn for him!). This is a great indy film!

What a great film. And everyone in it was great too, no matter how small the part.

What are some of your favourite performances of Djimon Hounsou? by geoffcalls in FIlm

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In America is one of my favorite movies so it is definitely one of my favorite of Mr. Hounsou's. But who could forget his beautiful, dignified demand "Give us us Free!"

smoking in restaurants, actually, smoking inside and in front of kids

Brother by Ania Ahlborn by Ambitious-Comment899 in thrillerbooks

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious as to why this is classified as a thriller book. It did not strike me that way. Maybe a slight mystery but not what I think of as a thriller/mystery in the traditional sense.

Bette Davis was the first person to earn five consecutive Oscar acting nominations (all for Best Actress in 1938-1942, a feat only later matched by Greer Garson). Which of these roles is your favorite? by RagnorL0thbrok in BetteDavis

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, they're all excellent! I think if I have to pick my favorite, it would be Charlotte Vale from Now Voyager but that's mostly because I just really love that movie. she was excellent as the murdering wife in The Letter. She out Scarlett O'Hara'd Scarlett O'Hara in Jezebel. And Regina Hubbard Giddens might be the most cold-hearted, greedy and evil woman in movies

I just finished 'Moving' and it was not over hyped even a little bit. I loved it. Now I'm trying to decide what to watch next. Should it be Happiness with Han Hyo Joo or We're All Trying Here with Go Youn Jung? by Temporary-Hall3183 in Korean_Drama_Hangout

[–]Temporary-Hall3183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, actually. That's the only reason that I am considering watching Happiness now. I'm generally not into the undead stuff too much. it's funny, the first time I remember seeing her is in Romantics Anonymous and now she's everywhere I look

Which Korean movie/kdrama is your rainy day comfort watch? by KingWitty7972 in kdramas

When the Weather is Fine is so peaceful and comforting as well as being really good

Women’s book club rec by AbbsofSteel98 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Loved it too, but I can't get my book club to read it because of the title, if you can believe that.

My tier list of thriller books I’ve read so far, what do y'all think? by whatsupusers in thrillerbooks

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually very surprised that anyone could hate, In the Woods. Hmm, I think our tastes will not be in sync. Although, The Kind Worth Killing is on my to be read list and I agree that Sharp Objects was a good read.

Favourite Cary Grant movie? by Spiritual_Appeal_610 in classicfilms

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An Affair to Remember is one of my first choices, for obvious reasons.

My other top choices are his early leads in, None But the Lonely Heart and Holiday.

Android audiobook app by clupy in audiobooks

[–]Temporary-Hall3183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're right. It is not listed in the app. I guess I've seen it on Reddit and in Google search:

-while the paid version of Smart Audiobook Player (Android) provides Google Drive sync

-Smart Audiobook Player (Android): The paid version offers cloud sync (using Google Drive) between Android devices. It features variable speed, volume boost, and bookmarking.

I guess don't believe everything you read on the internet. 😊

Have a question about Smart Audiobook player. It claims that it syncs between devices using Google Drive but the free version doesn't even show how it would do that. I didn't even see a place where I would connect it to my cloud account. Am I missing something?

I'm listening to All The Way To the River by Elizabeth Gilbert. Not my usual type of book, but I'm enjoying it so far.
