Cannes has a big market. Hundreds of movies are sold globally in Cannes, at the same time many producers find funding for their big budget and indie films. Netflix buys movies for a few dollars and produce a mere handful of movies every year. Cannes is still a very important platform for the movie business.

Netflix has no space in this old world. They simply put online any movie and people may decide to watch it or not. Meanwhile everyone else has to find distribution and pay for advertising.

So people are commenting on a movie they haven't seen it yet.

I think it's in the tone of The Empire Strikes Back. It's an emotional ride! and the producers didn't touch their heart to tell a story, and if you follow the archs of the SW stories, you know what will happen in the second movie of this trilogy.

"Many stores in the United States sell "Romano cheese", which should not be confused for genuine pecorino Romano which is an Italian product recognized and protected by the laws of the European Community. Unlike the Italian cheese, American Romano is milder and uses cow's milk instead of sheep's milk."

He was right.

I started reading ./ when my English was really poor and hardly understood the more technical texts. We had a 15th aniversary party here in Mexico City and cannot believe we're 20 now.

I visit the site once a week, now we have many more ways to get news.

It's very Seth Rogen driven comedy, funny at moments but most part of it smells a little like US propaganda. It depicts a smart, maniac and manipulative Kim Jung Un. Funny enough, we know CIA it's capable of trying to murder a foreign leader.

This city was built in mind to have a car, so there's no way to solve the problem with wider streets. Other megacities have solved this problem with better public transportation.

99% of iPhone users buy a case for their thin devices.

We have very long summer breaks. My kids have the French calendar, two whole months for vacarions, and a week break every six weeks.

Civilization comes with war. Warriors need a lot of testosterone and battles lead to anihilation of hi-testosterone individuals. I find some evolutive path to decrease of testosterone.

Maybe the videos are 30FPS but the player is doing some interpolation to achieve 60FPS, like modern TV displays.

If you travel a lot for business there's a chance you have to fly for half a day or even more hours, sign a contract, shake hands and return home the same or next day. Using business class is the best way to arrive fresher for you meeting and make good decisions. For me doesn't make much sense to pay business for a less than 4-5 hours flight, but that's just me.

Well, this doesn't help with the point, Right? How Chile can be a beacon of democrac if it had a dictator after dictator? According to you words.

And he left a bunch of "senadores designados" or non-elected senators in the law. There are still traces, but that's not the point. The point is, Chile is hardly a beacon of democracy, because generals tend to interfere with politics a lot.

A beacon of democracy? Chile had at least 5 military internventions in the 20th century.
