*Paul Verhoeven's first film is Business is Business (1971) which is so rare I can't find a copy with English subtitles unlike all of Verhoeven's later Dutch films. As an alterative, Verhoeven directed Floris (1969) starring Rutger Hauer, who would later star in 5 of Verhoeven's movies. Only 2-3 episodes of Floris are necessary but all 12 are on YouTube w/English subtitles; plus, feel free to DM me to request for links for Dutch titles!

May 18: Features a Strange Friendship
Pi & Richard Parker
Life of Pi-2012
Whether it was for survival or something else, I would like to believe they bonded over everything they'd been through & became friends. In my mind their friendship lives on. 🚣🏻🐅
@metaphoralaura Oh no. I hope you feel better. When I'm not feeling well I like to change the words to I'd like to become comfortably numb. Today I'm going to change them to "I hope Laura becomes comfortably numb" instead of feeling lousy. Sending you healing thoughts.
