Understandable regarding Kurosawa. He's definitely not for everyone. The acting is certainly strange to a western audience, and feels kind of like the more theatrical acting from the early days of movies.
Haven't heard of any of your recommendations, but they look pretty interesting. Will be putting them on my list. I really only know old Soviet-era Russian films, so I'm glad to hear about modern ones. And those Japanese ones look amazing, definitely right in my wheelhouse.
I thank you for your support, loyal Columbia. When the time comes and people start going up against the wall, I will try to make sure you are towards the end of the line :P

Yes that’s probably it. However he was a great director. Without him, no Star Wars and no Man with no name.
Yes, despite Putin bearing down on Russian society, Russian films seem to be doing well of late. The Human Condition films look really interesting as well.

Hey everyone,
I hope you all are staying safe amidst the current crisis.
So, as many of you know, Earth Day is coming up soon in April and this got me thinking that we as humans are doing a fairly good job so far cleaning up our land we live on. However, quite often us humans forget about our wonderful oceans and other bodies of water. We forget that they exist even though 70% of our planet's land mass is water!

Thank you to Lake of Fur for sending me the above article. It highlights that our oceans can actually be saved within the next 30 years, so by 2050. Scientists have predicted that if we change our way of thinking of actually take real action then it can truly be saved and turn into the magical place it once was. Governments must enact tougher laws such as no sewers should go into our bodies of water and no one can throw plastic in the waters.
Do the oceans need us? Yes the oceans do need us.
Do we need the oceans? YES we need the oceans more than the oceans need us. Our oceans provide us with 70% of the oxugen we breathe today. This means that if we want to live here on Earth, we have to make sure that our oceans live and are as healthy as they can be.
Hats off to everyone that's contributing positively to make our world a better place by making it environmentally sustainable!! I salute you.

:P
(I don't care if this pun was intended or not...I still laughed)
I'd be lying if I said it was. :P
🐻
Sure. It would be nice to be imprisoned in an island with such a historical significance.
Thank You for sharing such a +ve news. 🙂🤗

Kurosawa's impact on the world of film is undeniable and has influenced many filmmakers that have followed. His fascination with classic literature, placing it in settings and time periods other that when it was written for, were his hallmarks. He idolized John Ford and they both were tapped to direct the American and Japanese sections of the film Tora, Tora, Tora, which would have been fantastic had it not fallen through.
And thank you for reading it :)
Much appreciated

Hello South Pacific!! XKI is hosting a Best Flag and Motto competition, and would like to invite all of you to participate!
Greetings!
It is my distinct pleasure as Cultural Officer of 10000 Islands to announce the return of the Best Flag Competition to 10000 Islands! This event has a storied history, having been run for years by Anime daisuki but fallen out of circulation in recent times. Accordingly, the Cultural Office has decided to bring this back! To further enhance the cultural experience of the contest, we have decided to supplement it with a contest for national mottos and to invite our friends from other regions to participate with us.
Over the next week, nations may "sign up" by submitting an image of their flag in
this sign up thread, along with a link to the flag that is being submitted, or via NationStates telegram to HumanSanity using the nation with the flag you wish to submit. The rules for submissions are as follows:Flags do not need to be resized when they are submitted, but will be resized by competition organizers to 130px width (if rectangular) or 100px on each side (if square).
Submitted flags must be original artwork by the player. Flags may not be game-provided flags. If your flag was created by another player, you may still enter it but you must credit the player who created it when you make your submission.
Flags must meet NationStates site rules and may not promote hate speech or otherwise promote fascist or hateful ideologies.
The flag must be currently in use on a NationStates nation controlled by the player.
All nations are welcome to participate regardless of 10000 Islands citizenship status.
Any disputes over the rules will be adjudicated by the event planner, HumanSanity.
Each player may make only one submission but may submit a flag on any nation.
Submissions will open on 4/8 and close on 4/15 at 5 PM EDT.
After the sign up period, flags submitted via the forum will be randomly assigned into "groups" for a round of forum-side voting between 4/15 and 4/22. The top several entries in each group will advance to the final round of voting between 4/22 and 4/29.
Flags submitted via NationStates telegram will be voted upon separately using the NationStates on-site polling platform in 10000 Islands between 4/15 and 4/22. More information can be found here
After these preliminary "group" voting rounds, the final round of voting will occur entirely on the 10000 Islands forum. Exact voting procedures will be announced once the number of entries becomes more clear.
The ultimate winner of the Best Flag Competition will receive a 50,000 Taco prize and a copy of the NS Trading Card Season 1 Epic Anime daisuki. This give away is made possible due to a generous donation from Feu de Glace who has the sincerest appreciations of the Islands. The runner up will receive a 10,000 Taco prize and a copy of Season 2 Legendary Candensia.
A separate prize will be available to the best performing on-site flag - they will receive a Season 1 Epic Tzo NS trading card.
Separately, the Cultural Office will be running a best motto competition. The best motto competition will be run through the
10000 Islands Discord including submissions and voting. Submissions can be made in the channel #best-motto-submission. After a week of submissions, we will enter a voting period structured based on the number of submissions at the discretion of the Cultural Officer. When the voting period opens, a channel for discussion (#best-motto-discussion) and a channel for voting (#best-motto-voting) will be opened. Participants may discuss in the discussion channel and cast their ballots in the voting channel.
The following are rules for motto submissions:
Mottos must be the motto of a nation on NationStates controlled by the player.
Mottos must meet all NationStates site rules and may not promote hateful ideologies. Additionally, all submissions and discussion must meet Discord rules.
Mottos must be relatively original. Mottos which are made by the NationStates motto autogenerator will not be accepted.
Any disputes over the rules will be adjudicated by the event planner, HumanSanity.
Each player may make only one submission.
Players may provide translations for their mottos to be listed on the ballot if they are in a foreign language.
Motto submissions are due 4/15 at 5 PM EDT.
After the sign up period, mottos will be randomly assigned into "groups" for a round of voting between 4/15 and 4/22. The top several entries in each group will advance to the final round of voting between 4/22 and 4/29.
Exact voting procedures will be announced once the number of entries becomes more clear.
The winner of the Best Motto Competition will receive 25,000 Tacos and the runner up will receive 10,000 Tacos. The winner of the Best Motto Competition will also receive a copy of Season 2 Legendary Wrapper and the runner up will receive a copy of Season 2 Epic Dr george.

Flags and cards? My two favorite things about NS combined in one event :)

I've got no doubt that you'll bag the 1st prize. 🙂

Well, I appreciate your confidence, but my graphics skills are rather mediocre compared to most of the known flag makers. But it should be fun, regardless. And the "Best Motto" is one anyone can join, despite any knowledge in making images on a computer.
Densaner, A Down and Dusky Blonde, Norgiestoileckylockj, and Republic of gran colombia
Is that right?

I started out with the North Korean flag for the first few months of my existence here. 🇰🇵
I then designed my own flag. I have had it various sizes for about 14 years or so now -

Thankfully they upsized the flag option a while back, it was a bit small way back when...

That's cool. 🙂
In my opinion, your flag is a much more colourful & lively version of Czechia 🇨🇿.
Densaner, A Down and Dusky Blonde, Johanneslanden, and Panther
Yep, pretty much. Thankfully there’s plenty of real life designs to steal from. 🇵🇭
A Down and Dusky Blonde, Panther, and Republic of gran colombia
I stole the panther on my flag from some animal rights group :P
You should extend the white line that separates the green portion of your flag from the black so that it follows the outline of the orange triangle. Like this:

But that's just my two cents which nobody asked for...
Densaner, A Down and Dusky Blonde, and Republic of gran colombia
My flags are just yanked from google images. I have a folder of them
