Josh Becker: Q & AName:             Nikolay Yeriomin. E- mail:            nikolayyeriomin@gmail. Date. 6/5/1. 6Dear Josh : Loved previous q& a's with Keith and Tim because it is quite an interesting "food for thoughts". If it is okay, I have a few comments and questions regarding what they were writing, so this message may be a little bit long (I hope that it may be separated if that will be more comfortable for you and/or webmasters). Firstly, regarding Alfred Hitchcock (by the way, my all- time favorite director) - it should be noted that "Hitchock/Truffault", even though it is one of the greatest books on Hitchcock and movie- making in general is quite flawed by one thing in nearly any translation, that thing being the fact that all of the Hitchcock statements were translated in French and then book was again translated in English from that translation, so at times what Hitchcock actually said was somewhat paraphrased and may have affected the sense of a few statements. Secondly, a little thought on Hitchcock's movies - last summer I've discovered that I've actually haven't seen that much of his directorial works, mainly because in cases of one of the favorite directors dying or working rarely I usually postpone some movies in advance, just to have a few if I'll have some specific mood.

In case of Hitchcock, though, I understood it was quite pointless, because if counting his TV episodes and some other things he has quite a big filmography. So, I've started a tradition of sorts that I hope to continue this year - to pick five Hitchcock directorial works (from each decade of his career excluding the 7. I've seen everything) mostly at random and watch them on and around his birthday. What I've picked in 2.

The Pleasure Garden", "Jamaica Inn", "Spellbound", "The Trouble with Harry" and an episode of "Startime" named "Incident at a Corner". I can highly recommend each one of them (though "Spellbound" is probably the better one of them), but "Incident at a Corner" is especially recommended because it is mostly overlooked and forgotten, despite this little gem is actually pretty impressive. Thirdly, while I can understand your and Tim's concern of culture being "rotted", I have some optimism for it and I just believe that we're living in a period of quite a big shift and it's hard to judge the society which is in a constant stress and undergoes a process of certain social and cultural mutations. I'm quite concerned about culture as well because, well - mainstream culture seems less and less appealing to me. Especially since younger people (of which I am, to some unfortunate extent) seem less and less tolerant to more individual and "unconventional" tastes and will try to force you to watch what they like, massively overreacting if you dislike their choice, forgetting that anyone has right to choose what he or she wants to watch.

MRC is a diversified global media company with operations in filmed entertainment, television programming and original digital content. The company is the industry. Is there a desert you wouldn´t walk across to spend five minutes with either of these beauties? In appreciation for your help, I invite to watch videos of this.

I'm quite tired of people shaming me for my dislike of "Game of Thrones" and "The Walking Dead" - while both series are very popular and acclaimed I just can't find anything of strong interest in both of them (not to mention that people fail to notice how much "Game of Thrones" is derivative to works of William Shakespeare) so I don't have a point to watch them. But I hope that such "Age of Overreacting" will eventually pass and we'll have some kind of renaissance. I don't lose that hope because, well, even my dorm roommate (1.

I'm of the same age gap and yet I can easily watch anything regardless of time period) loved "Lawrence of Arabia" and is amazed by Buster Keaton stunts (despite him being a parkour practitioner he just can't understand how some of them were executed) and another one of the same age is reading a lot and tries quite thoughtfully to compare and balance mainstream, independent and classic art. One of my best friends who is essentially of my age disliked "The Hateful Eight", by the way and while I was okay with that movie I can totally see why and approve both his and yours concerns about it.

Poor Nova, one of the main characters, is a witness to this event and is forever engraved with the horrific act that.

Fourthly as you've asked for someone to pick ten greatest movies and albums of the past ten years (that should be the period of 2. I guess?) I might as well try to name at least movies. But I should warn you that I'm casually watching some movies two or three years after the initial release, so I'm quite surely missed at least a few great titles. I'm also subjective, of course and will try to balance those movies which both I've found great and at least some significant amount of people enjoyed a lot as well, trying hard to limit it for one- two movies per year. My picks are (in chronological order): 1."Shaun of the Dead" (2.

Dir. Edgar Wright (UK); 2."Takeshis'" (2. Dir. Takeshi Kitano (Japan); 3."A Scanner Darkly" (2.

Dir. Richard Linklater (USA); 4."Reign Over Me" (2. Dir. Mike Binder (USA); 5."Serce na dloni" (2. US as "And a Warm Heart" though the translation is "Heart in the Hand") Dir. Krzysztof Zanussi (Poland); 6."Drive" (2.

Dir. Nicolas Winding Refn (USA); 7."Fire. Crosser" (Toy. Khto. Proyshov. Kriz. Vohon) (2. Dir. Mykhailo Illienko (Ukraine); 8."L'écume des jours" (2. US as "Mood Indigo", though the translation is "The Foam of Days") Dir. Michel Gondry (France); 9."The Guest" (2.

Dir. Adam Wingard (USA); 1. Mad Max: Fury Road" (2. Dir. George Miller, (Australia and USA).

The problem is - great rarely equals life- changing personal favorites - if you'd asked to put a list of ten personal favorites a fewer of those will move from one list to another. Yours sincerely,Nikolay Yeriomin.

The moment it starts you could tell what the tone was once the movie begins. The scenes were incredibly well done from every actors performance. The dialogue between Thor and Hulk was amazing as well as the fight between them. The plot was great it went well with the movie. Throughout the movie is a lot of comedy and right when there's a serious scene the comedy takes you right out of. It has a very good way of transition of serious moments to comedic scenes.

Tessa Thompson was perfect as Valkyrie her dialogue between the characters were very humorous. Graphics were absolutely outstanding they give great pacing to let you take in the environment of the movie with its awesome graphics and the little Easter eggs the have in this film.

Tom Hiddleston kills it at Loki once again with his interaction with each character. Hulk makes this movie fun and so entertaining keeping you wanting more and wonder what he'll do or say next. Once it gets to the end of the film you feel the urge of wanting more from the actors and their over all great performances as these characters. Thor: Ragnarok does answer questions that we're ask from the other films. Also ties in to what they have in store for Avengers: infinity war.
