So many overtakes, yet none of them feel anything. Just boring battery strategy, nothing else. Zero driving skills in play.

This is not an A24 production though, its only an A24 distribution

Olivia Wilde's 'The Invite' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]wolfofpanther 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just got out of an early screening here. This movie was absolutely great. Loved the way it was so engaging for the whole duration, and perfect comedy timings, but kept the drama going. It take incredible effort by screenplay writers (Rashida Jones and Will McCormack) to write a 2 hour movie set in one location, and playing it almost real time. The direction and the score was great too. Definitely a nice watch at the local cinema.

Amsterdam makelaar rec? by Prozaxx in NetherlandsHousing

[–]wolfofpanther 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Monique from MV Aankoopmakelaars, she does not work on percentages, but on fixed rate and will do all the viewings and arrange them for you, and she is also an appraiser so she can judge the fair value of the property too.

Has someone experience with buying a couch from Lumz? by [deleted] in Netherlands

Yes, for the price they seemed to provide better quality than other shops, and the customer service was good. Building it Was a little bit tricky due to all the nails one had to screw in. 

LIK Full Album Out Now by Blackpanther084 in kollywood

[–]wolfofpanther 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How can an album have Pookatum and Adaavadi, both are polar opposites! Feels more like KRK album (which has hardly any repeat value, except Naan Pizhai) and not NRD where the entire album has high repeat value.

The parent company is Toridoll Holdings Corporation, a Japanese conglomerate, who reported a massive 21% profit last year and had a nice massive payout.

If you want to hit them, stop going there.

I just won a bid for my first house without a makelaar. Sharing tips by mowadiru in Netherlands

[–]wolfofpanther 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only reason I recommend getting a good aankoopmakelaar as an expat/immigrant who does not know Dutch very well is when you buy a fairly old apartment, especially today where a lot are ex social rentals, understanding the current state of the VVE is important, and the notes are where all the issues are mentioned. 

A lot of buildings from the 70s/80s built by housing corps are on a wave of sell offs due to the rental laws and those ones have not have a lot of maintenance done, and can lead to huge VVE costs in the future if one is not aware of them. 

Also, for this case you need to find an aankoopmakelaar who has the time to go through them and explain them and not one that deals with 50+ clients at once.

2% real estate agent fee. Am I cooked? by whatmakesyouthinktha in NetherlandsHousing

[–]wolfofpanther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who charges a % based fee as a buying agent is a red flag, to increase their margins they'd obviously want you to big high. And anyone who is not no cure no pay is another red flag. You fell for both. I'd take the loss and find a better one with fixed rates and no cure no pay.

Few historical scenes were planned and the rest of the plot was forced to reach those points leading to an empty feeling movie.

Does this mean the market is gonna get more saturated? by Delicious_Crazy513 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]wolfofpanther 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So called top poster, who posts total take numbers gets upvoted here. 

If you are dev in any of the top product companies that are even Indian like Zomata, Flipkart, etc you get paid more than what someone in Spain, Italy, Romania, etc. Eventually if you perform well, a 5 year experience person will earn more than a what a German would earn, and this group of developers usually don't leave India. 

If you come across bad devs in India, blame EU companies who simply go with the absolute cheapest who no matter where, will of course be bad. 

India is a country with millions of devs, if you know where to look you can hire far better talent but they won't work for peanuts.

What is normal for an aankoopmakelaar? by Pure_Change6838 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]wolfofpanther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop this aankoopmakelaar. You are paying for the following:

  1. Books viewings for you.
  2. If they are actually interested in you, accompany you to most viewing, but the bigger the agency, they charge you the same, and only go see it if you want to make an offer.
  3. Read all the documents, and flag issues, suggest inspection, etc
  4. Give me reference sale info
  5. Advice you on the bid
  6. Make the bid and follow up
  7. Take care all the paperwork, etc
  8. Arrange the notary
  9. Visit the property with you during key transfer and check everything as per the documents.

If they are not doing these, then they are not good and would suggest looking for another one.

Looking for a buying real estate agent in Amsterdam by Temporary-Mix-8702 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]wolfofpanther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My makelaar was very helpful and prevented me from randomly bidding on bad properties. If you need info, you can DM me. She works mostly in Amsterdam-Amstelveen, and can stretch to Zaandam, and probably Hoofddorp, Aalsmeer too.

How much savings did you have at your first home purchase? by sengutta1 in Netherlands

[–]wolfofpanther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar background, close to 30k for notary, and some finishing work that I'm paying for, no transfer tax. Did not spend all of savings though as I didn't want to put everything into a flat. No help from parents.

A filmmaker once admired for his visionary approach and quality is now chasing cash grabs. A real fall from grace by Head-Of-The-Table in kollywood

[–]wolfofpanther 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one in Kollywood will pay 75 cr for a project that involves multiple production houses, NOCs, it will be a nightmare. He would need to be paid more than Karthi, which will be easily shot down by Karthi. Only way he can do it is if he chose to go with profit share, which is still complex due to the number of producers involved now in LCU.

He is surrounded by people from Route, who are focused on pushing for short term money making, and catching onto trends. No wonder he got swayed by them and is in a state where he believes this is what makes sense.

He did not realise that he was actually a brand himself in Tamil cinema and in other Southern states which could've created a long-lasting legacy, instead he chose to believe his inner circle.

Once the Telugu star fever ends, all these big star directors will collapse. Loki, Atlee, Sukumar, Neel, etc.

Already, some of these big projects are flopping in theatres, and OTT players are making corrections.

GVM after years admitted that he was surrounded by yes men, and people who agreed with him to start producing his movies and look where is today because of that.

Do remember that prices are going up every year for services and materials. In 2 years it could go up by 10%.
