    Yes, lol, messy handwriting goes with it. In law school, as exams are non-stop writing for 3 - 3.5 hours straight, I would often get paper cuts on the left-hand page when writing near the top; due to the density of the content, I didn't have any time to stop the bleeding, so my exam booklets...

    I only got my pen licence in Grade 5 when teacher gave it to everyone who didn't already have it in one go. Massive oversight that it was never rescinded.

    It's an emerging style, still pretty underground. Side note, I did get pulled up for saying "you probably haven't heard of them" when discussing bands, without a trace of irony. Didn't even realise I was doing it. And I don't even live in Brunswick...

    Just throwing it out there, omgfridge's handwriting is really nice; mine basically looks like a cat attempted to use a pen before giving up halfway.

    1. A Short Film About Killing. Three Colours: Red is not only Kieslowski's greatest film, but one of the greatest movies ever made. Yet this film, another expanded episode from Dekalog, has killing as its theme, moving from the unmotivated, random murder that society condemns with legally...

    2. Three Colours: Red. The final instalment of the trilogy, with Kieslowski's promise for this to be his final film proving to be correct when he died suddenly only two years after its release, it has as its theme 'fraternity', and following the anti-tragedy and anti-comedy styling of its...

    3. Three Colours: Blue. The first instalment in the thematic trilogy, this one has as its foundation 'liberty', though as it's presented here, it is a freedom from emotional entanglements experienced by Juliette Binoche's Julie, rather than the socio-political meanings the French Republic is...

    4. A Short Film About Love. An expanded version of one of the episodes of Kieslowski's famed 10-part Dekalog, this deals with the theme of desire, lust, and what can be wrongly perceived of as love, the expression of defining another by their relationship to the self, becoming in its fullness...

    5. Three Colours: White. The middle instalment of the famed trilogy, by having the main character as a Polish emigre and setting much of it in Poland, this film does straddle the French of Kieslowski's mature years with the Polish of his developing career. This film explores the 'equality'...

    It's time for the first countdown of the thread! I've been binging Krzysztof Kieslowski films on Mubi the last few days; he may be the greatest director produced by Poland, but also, via the Tres Coloirs trilogy, had significant impact upon cinema in the French language. Now I only got to see...

    I think you should've gone with it. The court case would've provided epic lulz. Judge: So, you're suing who?
