Finally watched the last Game of Thrones episode :d

Once again, pretty awesome. Drogon melting that piece of crap throne to bits :bowdown: Not much surprise though, Jon killing Daenerys was pretty obvious, Sansa as queen in the North was even more obvious and Arya going west of Westeros has basically been a sure thing ever since she told Lady Crane she'd go west of Westeros :p 

 

The only thing I found annoying is boooooring Bran as king, but alright, it makes more sense than anyone from yet another house (which Bran isn't, at least not as much as a regular person) and it was better than Samwell's idea. Once all the seriousness was done with, I enjoyed Bronn's insistence on rebuilding the brothels :lol: 

 

The Master of Coin wants to be able to meet the Master of (insert any word referring to sex)

Rarely, and I mean rarely, do I find a film completely emotional, but Damn! my western heart cannot handle Capernaum. I love movies like this (Slumdog Millionarie, Lion, etc.), but just wow! And not even halfway yet. Who know such good film could come out of Lebanon?

Ok so I’ve now finished the movie. Nothing has ever hit me as hard as this film. I’ve never seen a film address so many social issues at once. This film makes such a statement on worldwide poverty, gender roles, the refugee crisis, illegal immigration, overpopulation, poverty, child abuse. I would honestly place Capernaum among the 100 best films of all time. The fact that it didn’t win the foreign film category this year at the Academy awards makes me so upset.

Has anyone else been watching Chernobyl on HBO? It’s absolutely amazing. My dad and I watched the first episode because there was nothing else on we were interested in watching, but it was so damn good that it became one of my favorite TV shows. HBO has been killing it lately. This show was just so damn good, and I watched most of it during a hail storm, which really added some effect. I’d love to know other users thoughts about the show.

Apparently. What I meant is that I love movies with a good story, that show a country or area as it is.

    • no idea. I just repeated what I read  but I won't be surprised if they make a mistake like this. the officials here are usually terrible in reading the rules. if I remember correctly they sent an Ice hockey team to the Games back in 2017 but most of the players were ineligible to play per IIHF rules and they played some friendlies instead    btw there is a federation, but not an ISU member. Ice Skating (which has a very very limited activity here) was a part of Skating (roller sports) federation but now moved to Skiing federation which officially changed its name to Skiing and Winter Sports Federation.
