![]() The film wasn't especially refreshing even for its time, no matter, how much it tried, at least at times, when it wasn't getting too lazy, if not overblown with its exposition and conflicts to truly reward. Alas, screenwriter Evan Hunter can't quite overshadow the limitations in depth within this Hollywood thriller, which are all but overpowered by inspiration to storytelling, sure, but don't do a whole lot at all, much less anything all that uniquely. The script is decent, but it holds problems extending beyond the uneven pacing, particularly within its dramatics, as the personal character conflicts feel a touch too Hollywood in their being histrionic, and working to manufacture some depth to a story of limited weight. Running two hours in length, the film is simply too long, and that's perhaps my biggest problem with it, as the film is all too often all too meandering to be all that engaging, and would be more compelling during its lulls in conflict if it was more genuine. Well, the conflict at least seems underdeveloped, compared to the other aspects of this narrative, whose build-up segment runs for way, way too long, until it begins to feel aimless, just as the relatively tighter body gets to be draggy itself. The film is plenty well-developed, with its characters, and its settings, and even its themes, but not with, of all things, it's conflict, for although I can understand the ambiguity behind the birds' mania, and although they attempt explanations way late into the body of the film, it's hard to get all that invested in a conflict so underdeveloped. ![]() I joke, but this was Alfred Hitchcock's last huge hit, insinuating that he had time to make huge hits prior, and that would be great if this film was by any means "soaring" (Ha-ha-ha-caw!), being an unreasonably two hours reasonably well-spent, but not especially smoothly. Well, I can understand why no one wanted to try and evoke thoughts of a film this big by naming his or her film "The Birds", and even why no one made a film before this one that was titled "The Birds", because this film actually came out a couple months before "Surfin' Bird", and it doesn't get any older than that. I can torture you all with this nonsense all night, but in all seriousness, there are so many trite things involving birds that I can't believe this seemingly uncreative title wasn't taken, like, a couple hundred times before and after this film. Seriously, I've heard of California going to the birds, but this is ridiculous. "A-well-a, everybody's heard about the bird, b-b-b-bird, bird, bird, bird is the word!" Man, these birds are bad enough, so one can only imagine what chaos would befall society if the bees got in on this killing spree, John Burroughs.

I guess I share Mark’s (and probably a lot of the listeners’s) enthusiasm about languages and as many people confirmed, someone who has an understanding of foreigen languages/cultures easily appreciates your excellent skills. I’m working in and all the languages I’ve learned at some stage (English, Latin, French, Russian, Italien, Romanian and now for roughly 1 1/2 years Spanish) I manage, nevertheless to progress eventually. As a busy working Mum it’s hard to still find time to learn truly, but with your podcast, the international environment I follow your Spanisch lessons for ca 1 year now (mostly while running -)) and I like the “Show Time Spanish” programme most as it brings me the day to day language closer. PS Loving the Coffee Break French course as well and your French accent is just as awesome as your Spanish □ ReplyĪt last I’ve found a little time to write. Either way, keep up the fantastic work of allowing more people a new source of communication! I really hope that the first commenter on this page has either a) moved on to another “more genuine” source of learning or b) left their homeland and had some real world experience that challenged their view. If anyone wants to hear about language crusifictions, you don’t have to go further than hearing ignorant Americans (which is not to say all Americans are like this) attempting to speak Australian English. I like learning from non-native speakers because you genuninely understand the problems that new learners can face. There is no one correct accent in any one language. At the end of the day language is the most powerful means of communication and that is the point of this series – being able to communicate across borders. As I have lived in the mid to north of Spain, I have incredible trouble if I have to go to the south because of the change of accent. Just as in English there are many accents and versions, so too in Spanish. My native Spanish boyfriend and his family have been so impressed with the improvements that I have made thanks to your course. ![]() I have found that this course easily breaks down the language and has filled in the missing pieces I need to communicate more fluently. I am an Australian who has been living in and out of Spain for the past 2.5 years and have independently learnt Spanish in a very random way. I don’t normally comment, but I was so enraged by the comment at the top of the page that I felt I had to, even if it is two years later. I have to admit that I haven’t really liked that accent.but now I actually find it pretty cool! □ THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOU AWESOME WORK!!

I wasn't expecting a lot from a big budget sci fi film but I thought Scott might've salvaged something. The premise grows tired the longer it plays out and that conclusion falls in the cliche safety model. The support cast is vast and it was interesting to see Val Kilmer finding his way back to Tony Scott. Washington brings strength to a thankless role and he stands above everyone here. Washington would've been drawn to the material by the money and Scott's connection, as the two had worked together over the years. The film feels content and it's just another thriller disguised as something else. The issue with Deja Vu is the lack of clever and inventive ideas. Tony Scott made great looking films and when he was able to connect with the material he made strong films.

Not much is known about the breed’s ancient history, yet it is thought to have evolved from the extinct Soutre horse.Ĭharacterized as “a white horse,” the Camargue horse is actually born black or brown.

Why nordics dont have their own but almost all of the new divines have own trophy for progress? Right now it seems that some have 10 diamond trophies and some 5.

I really hope they listen to the near dozen pages of complaints so far on the international server alone, as well as the other servers and discord, and change it but I’m not holding my breath. They’re clearly pandering to mobile players and new players and that’ll be the death of the game. Reckon they won’t be spending anywhere near as much now and I’ll probably join them. ![]() No Iris collection, no helios ray collection, no golden apple collection… some of the biggest spenders on this game have spent literal years and a ton of money building their collections which are now basically useless. The artwork is horrendous, I’ve already take the trophy box out of my profile presentation because it’s so ugly, and the new collections tab is terrible to navigate. Some of them are ridiculous too, the diamond rosettes won by a single horse for example. If they really wanted to add a new feature, they could’ve left the trophies as they were and just revamped the useless collection tab into a game challenge or achievements tab instead with these tasks. The only thing I like is the rewards for completing trophies, but there was no reason that could’ve been added to the old system without changing anything else. ![]() High concentrations of phenols and aromatics are reflected in this vintage.īarrel aging took place over 11 months in new and seasoned American oak barrels with 20% new oak.
