I like all of this. Also, to add I threw in about 260 dollars on the original kickstarter, but wasn't a patreaon supporter due to not having a regualr job/income at that time. If the Thumbs did come back, and I get the job I am hoping for - I will definitely be backing them, even if it is only 5 dollars.

Hhahah - I only saw this now, you never replied to my message so I figured you did your own thing. Khao San road is weird because it has always been a mess but now it is becoming popular with young, rich Thais as a place to slum it with crusty foreigners. I hate it there and only go if I am looking to get shit-faced or hook-up (and even then, at 38 years old it is an awkward thing to meet people on Khao San) China Town is really nice and I am glad you found a good place to sit and drink. I love Bangkok a lot and wish I could stay here forever, but I am already looking at jobs in Toronto, Edinburgh, London and Brighton.

So, the T-Shirts were supposed to get delivered to my old place of work but never showed up. The company in charge is doing a bang up job of trying to redirect them. Also, this Starbreeze stuff is a little worrying

Yeah, I also imagine that there are elements in the documentary that film isn't even going to touch. I won't say anything because the way it unravels in the documentary is what makes it jarring, sad and kind of beautiful.

Watch the documentary instead - it is a way better story.

Yeah - it is good and just what I needed this week.

I watched Hearts Beat Loud and it is this sweet little story about a father (played with uncharacteristic softness by Nick Offerman) and daughter recording some songs together while dealing with their lives. It is almost a musical with the amount of songs that are played throughout but what I like about it is the way the film is into giving the audience an idea of how a song is manufactured and what some of the process is behind putting tracks together. There is nothing brilliant about it, it is just well placed as a generally kind and warm film - that also isn't too tacky. I would strongly recommend it in place of a cheesy Christmas film.

For sure dude - I can offer all kinds of suggestions. I am going to Cambodia to renew my visa and also get drunk for a week as a means of celebrating Christmas

Sorry, didn't see this until now. Are you looking for touristy things to do, good places to eat and drink and/or do you know where you will be staying? I do a little work remotely and am trying to figure out what to do next since my divorce. Send me a private message and I can recommend a plethora of things.

Women led films outside of Korean, kid and/or mega blockbuster films aren't seen as appealing here. Same goes for films with black leads, with the exception obviously being Black Panther. Widows is both of those things.

I've been psyched for Widows since I saw the trailer a month or so back, I really hope it comes to Thailand, but due to the cast and the director there is a good chance it won't (I don't think we even got Ocean's 8 over here).

My favourite was the section with Zoe Kazan. I wonder if we have anyone that can comment on the representation of Native Americans and the scalping stuff - I was under the impression that this practice was more of a white person thing?

So, coming back to this after 2 years feels appropriate. I've been working on a piece called 'Dance of the Loot Goblin' which is about a video games tournament and also 'In my head I was degrading' which I won't say too much but I need to do a bunch of work around understanding Buddhism's perspective on the afterlife and how scholars might feel about the aftelife and afterdeath. I know this thread died but I was really enjoying it.

I now feel bad, because I had completely forgotten about the son.

I guess I am one of the few people that actually liked Season 2. Colin Farrel is great in it, I actually think he is great in most things he does but he had that Leonardo Di Caprio period where he was too much of a heart throb for people's tastes. Sure, it isn't the tour de force of Season 1 but I found the interplay between the four main characters really compelling, even if Taylor Kitsch remains flat as always, it actually works for him. I know the idle thumbs crew did not like that shoot out, but the brutality of it left me breathless as this wild explosion in the middle of a very slow build up. Even Vince Vaughn in the desert was really cool. Also, I am a huge Masherhala Ali fan, it has been a delight watching the slight awkward stereotype in Predators blossom through shows like 3800 and House of Cards.
