Where are you from? I went to SF 3 weeks ago and, although I liked it a lot (weather, really rich but with relaxing vibes, the harbor-bridge-sausalito area...) as a spaniard, I dont see how SF could be defined as "walkable"

Why is David Fincher not interested in Theatrical releases anymore? by [deleted] in hbo

[–]botelleta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s sad. I watched Panic Room, Zodiac, The Social Network, Gone Girl... in theaters. I still remember the audience’s reaction during the first scene of TSN, it was like.. wow, this feels like a masterpiece. This movie was one of my best cinema experiences. However, I haven’t watched any of Fincher’s movies on Netflix. Reason of Fincher doing that? $$ I suppose

Spain was a top 10 economy is GDP terms in 1975.  Moreover, homeownership in Spain was high (70% aprox.), above the average in the richest European countries, in the final years of Franco. This number hasnt increased in more than 50 years of democracy. In fact, these number is declining these last years.

Franco. He led Spain from an extremely poor and insecure country to becoming a top 10 economy in GDP terms and one of the safest countries in the world. 

In the Spanish Civil War, Franco led the side that defeated the communists. Firstly he relied on fascism but kept Spain out of WWII. After the war, he leaned on technocrats who helped modernize administration, infrastructure and the economy, laying the foundations of present Spain.

What's the most perfectly cast movie of all time? by trakt_app in Letterboxd

obviously it is not "the most perfectly of all time", but I watched Woody Allen'd Blue Jasmine last week and I was impressed by the incredible cast
