Am fost Sambata, 31 August 2024, la:

BIAS 2024

[site oficial; program BIAS 2024 la hotnews.ro]

Nota bene: sper ca acest review sa nu fie biased :)) - ce gluma en-ro high level! :D


Am ajuns tarziu, cred ca pe la 16:00?

Ma asteptam sa prind doar ceva show clasic cu avioane mici, mai vechi, cu elice etc.

Am avut noroc ca am prins spectacol cu F16 - pe la 17:00? comentatorul oficial a anuntat ca sunt F16 si erau! Deci, ori au facut bis, ori le-au amanat ora de spectacol! (teoretic, F16 erau la 13:00)

Am mai prins cred ca inca vreo 2 demonstratii diferite cu avioane cu reactie (retin ca 1 avion din Franta a zburat singur, plus parca a mai fost ceva dar nu retin ce & cum).

Am vazut si ceva elicoptere pe cer.

In rest, da, am prins show clasic cu avioane mici, mai vechi, cu elice etc.


Planul meu era sa ma uit la aparatele de zbor expuse la sol, ceea ce am si facut atunci cand nu era spectacol pe cer.

Am vazut unele din primele avioane - reconstituite - inventate de Traian Vuia, Aurel Vlaicu, Henri Coanda.

Am vazut la exterior 1 avion F16 Falcon!
Era si un fel de platforma daca vroiai sa te urci sa te uiti pe geam sau sa-ti faci poza cu avionul... - stateau oamenii la coada, pentru copii!

Am vazut la exterior sistemul Patriot: masina cu rachete, radar, cabina de comanda - din poze pare mult mai mare! :D... dar in realitate e neasteptat de mic!
...deci la cat e de mic poti sa-l ascunzi oriunde as zice, cred ca ocupa vreo 6 locuri de parcare in orice parcare subterana... sau daca esti putin mai bogat si iti faci parcare subterana mai mare la subsolul vilei, atunci poti ascunde un Patriot la subsolul vilei, ca sa moara dusmanii de oftica! :))

Am vazut la exterior multe elicoptere & avioane etc. sau m-am uitat pe geam la interior.
Stateau oameni cu copii la coada, sa ii urce in cabina, sa faca o poza - le inteleg dorinta, dar erau cozi lungi, cred ca in primul rand copiii au invatat sa aiba rabdare daca vor ceva foarte tare...

Mai era ceva expus cu decontaminare nucleara: masti, imbracaminte, robotei etc.


Ma asteptam ca Armata sa-si promoveze _planul de recrutare_ mai cu energie - mai in stil american! - dar ei aveau doar niste standuri intr-un hangar, cam anemic... erau pliante etc., dar ma asteptam la mai multe energie avand in vedere ca au nevoie de recruti, right?!


Concluzii


Per total, BIAS 2024 a fost o experienta placuta - o spun unbiased (ro: obiectiv, impartial)! :)
Am vazut mai mult decat credeam & speram, sunt multumit.

Ii apreciez pe cei cu copii care au avut rabdare sa stea la cozi ca sa intre in aparate.

Sper ca pe viitor Armata sa-si promoveze _planul de recrutare_ mai cu energie - armata e optionala, au nevoie de recruti, so raise your game!

Movie review: Poor Things (2023)



[Post published by Liviu, on Liviu's [Personal] Blog]

Nota bene: for other movie reviews, click for the dedicated page with movie reviews.


Poor Things (2023)

[en.wikipedia; IMDB]



Weird.
Strange.
Crazy - I mean really crazy, not metaphorically crazy - I really mean crazy as in crazy for real, ok?!

Entertaining... for those who can taste such a movie.

Very European given the rather large amounts of philosophy and smart dialogue.

Very European given the rather large amounts of nudity, explicit sexuality & sex scenes etc.
I’m still wondering how they agreed to finance all that in Hollywood?! :)) I can understand Europe, which has been doing it for a long time now... but Hollywood?! Are they changing mindsets or experimenting with new approaches to film making?!

Weird & Strange & Crazy soundtrack - made my ears hurt at times.

Weird & Strange & Crazy scenery / set decorations, visual/special effects, makeup & hair styling, costumes...

Really good acting.
I can understand Emma Stone winning the Academy Award for Best Actress, as well as Mark Ruffalo getting nominated for Best Supporting Actor [en.wikipedia].
Nota bene: I have had objections and shall always have objections against La La Land (2016) [Liviu review] and Emma Stone for the Academy Awards they have undeservedly won back then... but now Emma Stone truly deserves her Academy Award!

I agree with the awards & nominations Poor Things has received so far, including the Academy Awards [en.wikipedia].


Conclusions


Poor Things (2023) is... Weird... Strange... really Crazy, not metaphorically Crazy... with respect to everything... - all those involved either are true professionals with a wild imagination, or have been high the whole time! :) Either way, they got it right!
