In this case there is no one to credit except for Cinemagic since they sent me the newsletter. If anyone else posted about this exact same showing thats probably because they also got the newsletter. If you think I copied someone by talking about Cinemagic thats also not true since I am the first one to ever talk about them, posted about them on the day of their launch back in 2007. http://www.248am.com/mark/kuwait/short-film-screenings/ If you think I copied someone by talking about Oldboy again I posted about it back in 2005 here http://www.248am.com/mark/personal/two-good-movies/ Putting that aside like newspapers post about the same thing its not uncommon for bloggers to post about the same thing also. Kuwait is small and very little happens there so when an event occurs like a movie showing, a new restaurant opening or an event, you are bound to get more than one blog posting about it. If you don't like it you could always choose to read just one blog and keep life stress free for you without having to worry about reading the same thing twice. bdayer I always credit people.

Please mark, for the love of akademia and democracy, please credit people's work so we know where all of this news are coming from, the same goes with images please. Putting them there without any note to where they came from is very misguiding at least to concerned readers like me. HOWEVER, thank you for providing links related to your posts.

The closest building is being demolished, those on the same level are far etc... and in the end we're not monitoring people's windows. And anyway, you only hide what you're ashamed of or afraid to show. We're not and that's why we're in open air.

I meant the neighboring buildings... Did anyone ever bother when peeking from their windows? Couldn't help but notice that some buildings are quite close and some of them could not understand what is a good cult film.

And what we are showing are cultural films that has no explicit scenes. When we select the films, we make sure not to hurt any beliefs or traditions whatsoever. And the cinema nowadays has hundreds of good cult films. And i guess we're dealing here with adults and not kids. To make things clear, we’re not bothering anyone.
