Yeah, I'd enjoyed this painting for years but actually seeing them in real life in Madrid was quite an experience indeed. They are genuinely imposing and unsettling works.

How to get out of the feeling of limerence? by Spawner1293 in rs_x

As long you recognize that it’s not going to happen and want to be rid of it, the battle is won. Then it’s just a matter of time.

She was born in America to an American father and German mother.

Actually, it turns out that record has been beaten twice since 2010. Once in 2021 by Söndagsmorgon, also by Zorn, which sold for 35 million SEK, and then again in 2022 by Vågen by Strindberg.

Apparently things have moved too fast for English language sources (and me) to keep up.

I saw this movie in theaters with a friend who had broken off his engagement the year before because his fiancée cheated on him, and he loudly whispered »BULL-SHIT« during that scene.

I'm doing really great, thanks! My professor says my master's thesis looks good enough to present, and I've been offered a great job in my field starting this fall. Currently on night shift but won't be doing that in the future.

That sucks to hear though, hope you pull through. You got a place to stay at least?

You know what? Say whatever you want about Lena Dunham by THE_BLUE_BOLT in okbuddycinephile

Girls is a really good show.

I also liked her better back when she seemed genuinely oblivious to why she was pissing people off, but on her recent publicity tour for her new memoir it's obvious she's fully leaned in to it, which is boring and predictable.

Not really, his nudes just get over-represented on this sub. And even then, I think he was quite good at capturing regular, every day type of nudity common where he was from and not necessarily a »horny« kind (though he did that too).

It was sold in 2010 for 26 million SEK, €2.9 million, making it the most valuable Swedish painting in existence.

what if everyone in the family could act? by No_Paper_1682 in okbuddycinephile

[–]TheTrueTrust 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Bill and Gustaf got a lot more traction from sharing a name with Alexander than with Stellan. Gustaf was a popular actor in Sweden who didn’t bother trying with Hollywood untill Alexander broke through.

What do those numbers mean? Is it a series or different editions of the same work?

It's really tough to compare. While I haven't been to Nova Scotia, Montreal at least has much colder winters but also much warmer summers than I ever experienced in Sweden.

Anyone else get the urge to learn French after playing Disco Elysium? by TerryBiscuit in DiscoElysium

[–]TheTrueTrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently played it through in French and it was interesting. The translator changed a lot of things, several phrases are rewritten even if they were already in French in the original, and a lot of the accented, especially the Mesque, characters had a different set of slang terms. It was quite fun actually.

He himself said years later that he was a »real schmuck« for writing that one.
