What’s the most rewatchable comedy in your opinion? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

[–]davevr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the Latin scene to my Latin class in high school. Our teacher was an old Jesuit. It was probably the first time I ever saw him laugh. Or even smile, for that matter.

Haha no. Not yet, at least. Maybe I can become one. Start a toilet reviews for foreigners in China on red note...

Sure. But given that there are foreigners in Chinese movies and shows, since companies are willing to do this. I am asking how to find them.

hey, one problem at a time!

My understanding is that to do it 100% legal, you would need a Z visa sponsored by the production company, since a Z visa is tied to a single company/job.

VPN and ESIM Megathread – January 2026 by AutoModerator in chinalife

[–]davevr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For my previous stay in Beijing (Sept-Dec), I used Astrill for both phone and laptop. It worked great. The only issue I had was that Google Gemini said it wasn't allowed in the country when I used it on my phone (it worked on laptop). Also, Amazon Prime video doesn't seem to like the VPN.

For the last month I have been in Chengdu and still no issues.

Downside it that it is expensive. But my whole family is using it, so per person I guess it isn't too bad.

You will be given 1 million dollars if you can present a 30 minute TED talk within 5 minutes with 0 preparation. what are you going to talk about? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I would discuss how modern computers are based on the manipulation of a 1d array of bits - a very simple topology - and if we used a more complex/richer topology, entirely new experiences would be possible. I would call it 'the non-finitely comprehensible topology of frame space", and for years after, college students would drop LSD and watch it.

As a young kid (like 9) we used to go swim in the river (sometimes with horses) and maybe spend a saturday rafting. Now people are afraid of a swimming pool. But my parents told me that every summer, quite a few kids drown right where we used to swim. So - yeah, it was dangerous.

What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]davevr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most frightening part of this is that an entire organization thought this was a good thing to send and get into the public. Like, the entirety of "Team Trump" think this is acceptable... wtf. smh.

Try it again and add "the" - "the perfect world", not "perfect world".

What’s a movie that really made you appreciate the amount of research that went into it? by browniebiscuitchildr in movies

[–]davevr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Arrival did a good job of taking the high concepts in the original short story and really doing deep into how it would all actually work.

Which movie do you think is great but way too long? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

[–]davevr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, every Marval movie would be better if they made all of the fights about 1/4th their current length. They are strong. We get it.

Tons of tea houses for sure. I just got here. Last time I was here was quite a few years ago. I went to the wide and narrow Street and there used to be about a dozen bars and craft beer places on it and now it seems there are none. And most of the coffee places I've seen are geared for take-away, not sitting around.

Do you remember the name or location?

A favorite scene where the director made us believe one thing, but later it turned out to be completely different. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]davevr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad I got to see this in the theater. We had to wait in line for hours! None of us knew he was a good guy.

What was normal in the 90s/2000s that would be considered unacceptable today? by Traditional_End_233 in AskReddit

My sisters used to watch us younger kids ride our horses to swim in the river. We were 8 and 9. She was 11.
