The Forbes list of the world’s richest actresses provides a heaven-sent opportunity to slaver over photos of beautiful women and very large sums of money: solemnly recorded figures that can really be no more than intelligent guesswork. In pretty much the same spirit, Forbes regularly provides an enjoyable ranking of the richest fictional people, from Jay Gatsby to Smaug, complete with estimated dollar amounts.

Foreign films are far superior to the trash Hollywood puts out. It takes 2-4 movies to get used to subtitles (don’t listen to the English voice overs). Korea, China, and Scandanavia make great flicks. Germany as well

"Foreign films are far superior to the trash Hollywood puts out" Often True
" It takes 2-4 movies to get used to subtitles (don’t listen to the English voice overs)"
