Sports. I never watched a movie in a bar.
What's the difference? She basically played adult Willow in HIMYM.
I don't know. I think there's no good rock groups anymore. Modern mainstream music is either rap-like, electronic or heavily produced pop. None of them work well unplugged.
And that's not a 'modern music is shit' rant. You can find some good music nowadays, but the US and UK mainstream groups, those ones used to be very good, now they're shit. Damn, the best rock group rock group I've found last years is... from Mongolia

I'd like to see them unplugged, btw.
I'll check that one.
The Alanis Morissette one was good too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa-CZ58tuRQ
Nice.
Have some pastry too. Moroccan pastry is excellent. Just be sure to handle it with a kleenex or to have a bathroom available to clean your hands (otherwise they'll let you with sticky fingers).
Milkshakes are quite traditional too, though they're more of a summer drink. The one with almonds deserves a try.
And don't miss street markets, the souks. They're lovely.
And visit Fez. The medina deserves a journey. 'Medina' means 'city' in arabic language, but in this case the word refers to the old city.
There were some 'unplugged' albums with rock groups making acoustic versions. They used to be quite good. The Eric Clapton unplugged album was very good. Or the Nirvana one:

For breakfast, take some green tea with mint and churros. It's traditional there, and absolutely delicious.

And don't miss eating a Bastilla (pronounced 'bastela')

Kim Jung Mi, a south korean singer from the 70s. I discovered her in this forum

And Carla Bruni, I think nobody has mentioned her

Even more?
Nazis are the official bad guys in modern narrative. Yeap, it's true they massacred Jews. But that same century, Turkey organized three genocides: Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks. And one of them, the Assyrian one, was completely successful (you haven't seen the Assyrians around any more, have you?)... and however they're given a pussy-pass.
The allies killed hundreds of thousands of war prisoners, and I'm talking about common soldiers without political affiliation... but that's OK too. It's the ally pussy-pass.
I'd like to see more sides of the story, and of the history, instead of the very same one with the very same official bad guys repeated again and again.
Life is beautiful is a very nice movie. But it's not in the same league than Schindler List or The Pianist.
If you like History, don't miss Volubilis.
1. Sweet Charity (1969)
2. We're the Millers (2013)

Unless you have a time machine, none. We're still in 2K20 😄
Or a Black.
Or a Black woman.
Or a Hispanic.
The only we know for sure is that it won't be a white male. A neither probably an Asian male.
<blockquote>Misogynists in movies are often extreme: they rape, they beat women ... and it is legitimate to represent people like that</blockquote>
Legit? I don't know, but for sure it's became boring. The abuse/rape scene has become so common that they have one (or several ones) in almost every modern Hollywood movie (or series). And it's always the same: some evil male tries to sexually assault/rape a chick, and then (1) a white knight appears and beats the crap out of him or (2) the chick beats the crap out of him.
It's so frequent that it has become boring to death. You see it coming from miles away, the characters behaving always the same way and saying almost exactly the same lines. It's like representing that scene has become some kind of ritual to prove the movie is feminist and pure.
Not to say the scene is often racist: the abuser/rapist is <b>always</b> a white male, usually blond. How many times in modern movies you can find this type of scene with the abuser/rapist being black, or Hispanic, or any other special group?
<blockquote>Ask her if her mother is seeing anyone at the moment. Best to shit test her instead.</blockquote>
That's very rude. Not a good idea.
Jaws (1975)
Alien (1979) & Aliens (1986)
The Thing (1982)
Poltergeist (1982)
Ringu (1998)
Dark Water (2002)
Ju-On (2002) (and sequels)
A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
Yada yada yada racist yada yada yada nazi yada yada yada white supremacist yada yada yada fascist blah blah blah.
You're quite boring with that stuff.
<blockquote>If you actually want your time with someone to be happy, try giving honest responses</blockquote>
That's a bad advice. The good advice is '<i>don't play with her feelings, but think what you say</i>'.
Don't say that you're taking her seriously if you're not. That'd be playing with her feelings.
But at the same time, think what you say. If she's asking you about this (and that means this is more than a one-night encounter), she doesn't want to hear you're absolutely closed to a relationship, <b>even</b> if she is. Women want to feel that even if they're not looking for something serious, they're special enough to be considered as a possible serious thing if they were looking for it.
