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:

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.

    • I am assuming the FIS will fight very hard to keep it.   From a substainability standpoint it also really doesn’t make that much sense to axe Nordic combined as long as ski jumping is in the games anyway. For the same reason that all three sliding sports are basically a package that will live and die together.
    • By the way, some interesting stats here   https://www.biathlon.com.ua/en/rating.php
    • I think Fialkova is 2nd on the World Cup all-time list for most podiums without a win.  Olena Petrova still leads there and  Marie-Laure Brunet is 3rd IIRC but I need to check that.

    • I can’t see it being kept. Unless some very important  people have asked for it. 
    • First event at the World juniors (team events) had 6 nations win medals.
    • I hope they keep it. Even though the sport doesn't exist in Slovakia at all, it's still very exciting to watch.
    • will miss this stage because of the Middle East war, since the flights with Qatar Airways have been cancelled and can't be replaced in time (especially for the bicycles)
