“I love this film and it's a classic, but had it been done one year later, it would've never been as popular. Has anyone else thouught about it? ”

“It's "Hotel 10 KM" I don't think there's anything written on the scrabble bits that the man disintegrates into, though. Would likely have been rather overboard, sure - but that's what High Quality is for - DNA coding in videos. <_<”

“why call them votes...put in an option to 'not like'? I think there's nothing to fear--great films--but a bit Facebookish to not allow a down-thumb.”
