There is probably no person who does not watch movies. And, as Indians, we are all definitely head-heels in love with films from all regions and all countries. However, if you think that movies are just about spice and action, then you are very wrong. Since the development of films, there has been a vast majority of them, and there are also films for markets and entrepreneurs! So if you are a budding entrepreneur, eager to make it big in the market, these are some of the movies that you definitely have to watch.
Released in 2001 and starring govWorks.com’s Kalil Izza Tuzman and Tom Harman, Startup.com is a documentary about the dot-com company govWorks. The company, initially known as Public Data Systems, was founded in 1998 by Kalil Isza Tuzman, Tom Herman and Chieh Cheung. govWorks focused on providing software to government clients to track contracts and purchase functions. Back in 2000, when the dot-com crisis grew larger, like many other companies, govWorks went bankrupt. Nevertheless, it serves as a great case study for marketers and helps them avoid making mistakes that can be avoided.
The Wolf of Wall Street
There is no film list that does not suggest the Wall Street of Wall Street for marketers. This is the best film you can take as a guide if you want it to be an inspirational market. Based on the true story and memoir of Jordan Belfort starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a former stockbroker and Jordan, Wolf of Wall Street travels through how Jordan begins his career at a Wall Street brokerage company.
By the age of 26, they have not only opened their own firm, Stratton Oakmont, but they have also managed to make $ 22 million in just 3 hours, though by illegally securing Steve Madden’s IPO. After this, he and his other trusted partners continue to cheat wealthy investors with their money, until the FBI finds out about their scam. After chasing a cat and mouse, Jordan is eventually arrested. After his release, he decided to stay clean and hosted seminars and talks, helping people work on their sales techniques.
There is not a single person on the Internet who does not use Facebook. Facebook is one of the most used social networking sites today, thanks to the idea that originated in a dorm room at Harvard University. While there have been various controversies associated with Facebook, the introduction of the idea is something every entrepreneur should look for in order to make it big in a truly competitive world.The film also highlights legal disputes that Mark had with Facebook.
Often regarded as a crime drama film, The Boiler Room, in fact, qualifies as a great case study for marketers and entrepreneurs. The film talks about a 19-year-old college dropout who runs an illegal casino in his rented apartment. But when his father ridicules him, he joins a brokerage firm. When he hits the box of luck, and immediately begins to succeed. The film describes the various ups and downs that revolve around businesses.
pursuit of happiness
Happiness aims at more than just the emotional story of a father and his son. It is based on the true story of Christopher Gardner, who invested in a bone density scanner and should have sold. However, being unable to sell to anyone, he not only loses his job and credit card, but his wife also leaves him. He manages to get a job as an intern with a brokerage firm, but receives no payment for it. The film is a must watch for entrepreneurs and market people as it teaches a lot about how to deal with difficulties and how to overcome them.
12 hot men
Considered one of the classiest films of all time, 12 Angry Men is a classic 1957 film. The film revolves around the murder case of a juvenile and 12 gamblers whose duty it is to give a final verdict for the trial. Throughout the film, various evidence and points are discussed against the boy, and everyone tries to decide unanimously. However, there is one person who persists in his decision to convict the boy. While the film is considered as a crime drama, one of the great lessons that all marketers can learn from 12 Angry Men is the power of persuasion. In today’s highly competitive world, trying to stay ahead in the race requires being highly skilled in the art of persuasion, and this film definitely teaches how you can do finely, but positively in someone’s way. Turn around the decision.

Companions: Fifty Years of Doctor Who Assistants is an unofficial guide to the travels and experiences of the companions of each of the eleven incarnations of the Doctor. Written by a true fan, Andy Frankham-Allen provides an in-depth account of each character's struggles, experiences and relationships as he outlines their significance in the TV series as well as other Doctor Who media.
The book also features a foreword by Gary Russell and afterword by David J Howe.
On the surface Rose appears to be a very different kind of companion from those we have been used to, but when you consider her character, she is essentially a combination of Tegan and Ace. Much like Tegan she is given a TARDIS key; we see a lot of her family; and we see her leave and return. Much like Ace she develops a deep love for the Doctor, she is from a London council estate and her back-story is almost as important as the Doctor’s, driving much of the ongoing narrative of the 2005-2006 series. In the pitch document, partly printed in the Series One Companion (Doctor Who Magazine Special), we are told that ‘she loves [the Doctor], and he loves her. Simple as that. Not a kissy-kissy kind of love, this is deeper’.
Rose actually meets the Doctor earlier than she knew. In The End of Time, just after midnight on 1st January 2005, she is walking home from a party with her mother and notices the Tenth Doctor standing in the shadows. She confuses him for a drunken party goer and tells him the year. He tells her that it will be a fantastic year – knowing full well that in March they are due to meet for the first time.
When we first meet Rose in the eponymous episode, she is working as a sales assistant in a department store called Henriks, living at home with her mother and dating Mickey Smith (although judging by the dismissive way she is with him, it does comes across as if she is merely making do, waiting for something better to come along). Upon finding the mannequins in the basement of Henriks coming to life, Rose thinks she has become the victim of a student prank, until they start attacking her – at which point a hand reaches out and grabs hold of hers. She is immediately running with the Doctor, barely having a chance to find out who this mysterious man is before he blows up her place of work. Rose resigns herself to losing her job very quickly and ends up loafing around home with nothing better to do. Even Mickey’s enthusiasm over a football match fails to excite her, until the Doctor appears at her house, having followed an Auton arm there. She drags him into the flat, wanting to know more about the night before, but his answers only confuse her more. They are both attacked by the Auton arm, and she follows him out of the flat. The Doctor is impressed by her curiosity, and the ease with which she handles his answers, but he still remains distant from her. She, however, cannot get him out of her head and tries to find out more about him on the internet. This leads her to a man called Clive who collects stories about the Doctor. She becomes totally distracted and doesn’t notice that Mickey is very clearly a plastic replica. The Doctor reappears and, amidst the chaos, removes the Auton-Mickey’s head. Rose manages to activate the fire alarm, thus evacuating the restaurant safely. She realises that Clive is right; the Doctor is clearly a dangerous man...

Can you remember your high-school best friend? Your first car? What about that one dress you wore to that killer party sophomore year? Or your high-school crush who had no idea you existed? How annoying your dad was about boys?
Duh, of course you do! How can we forget how adorably clueless we all were?! I sure know I had one or two mini-backpacks and a couple mochachinos in my time.
In 1995, the film Clueless premiered to rave reviews, not just for its stellar cast, monster soundtrack and dope outfits, but also because of its totally classic story. We weren’t just watching a barbie doll dress up, we were watching something we all knew to be universal: the confusion and anxiety of being a teenage girl. We watched it over, and over, and over; we bought the outfits, the soundtrack; we grew our hair out and made our own fuzzy pens; we quoted it; we lived it.
So now we bring it back. Not just to remind ourselves of a time when we were younger, but to re-live the excitement and fear we had walking down the school hallways, going to the parties, figuring out who we were and who we wanted to be, and like, picking out what to wear in the morning!
AS IF: Like, a performance, DUH! is a play in four acts, taking inspiration from the film while creating a new space for it to thrive in. Rather than utilizing traditional theatre methods, AS IF is staged as a true performance piece. We have created an all-encompassing environment that moves the audience not just through the story, but through the experience of adolescence as well. While staying true to the startlingly colorful visual language of the film, AS IF turns up the volume, building a hyperstylized, neon fuzzy, MTV-fried dreamscape for our audience to live in along with the characters. The performance demands participation by inviting the audience to exist in the imagined world of permanent teenage angst and thrill. Exciting and provocative, AS IF is like, way dope!

More on Stuart HERE
Stuart continues his tips on how to….Wrap up your novel.
ROUNDING IT OFF
So you come to Chapter Twenty. The end. Here’s another tip for your novel. We’ve seen full-of-hope-and-innocence get to Hollywood and tracked her delusion. We opened on her being semi-drunk with her lover, bemoaning her lost soul. But that’s not enough; we’ve all heard and read enough real-life stories like that. Why leave your novel on a sour note? Hope springs eternal and everyone – publishers especially – love a happy ending.
Why not have some spiritual Damascene moment for Gretchen? Maybe her childhood sweetheart turns up, now divorced, successful businessman; sick of his own shallow life. Maybe she secretly wants to open a pet sanctuary with all her ill-gotten loot. (Remember Doris Day?) Above all seeing something, maybe a pet she rescues from an alley, or the old boyfriend, or the view of a lake – something – finally convinces her she wants out.
She goes to the studio does her last take. Movie mogul offers her a $15 million role, she tears up his offer. Then gets into ex-boyfriend’s car, and they drive past the Hollywood sign heading East (I know that’s not geographically correct but you get my drift). She leaves the smog ridden den of iniquity called Hollywood and we see her ascend into the snow-topped alpine air of the San Gabriel mountains. Geographic contrast here paralleling moral conduct. From smog to snow, from traffic choked streets to fresh cold upland air. You’re making a moral point with a visual allusion. -And your story has taken her from belief to disillusionment back to belief and hope again.
HEY, HOLD ON A SECOND!
And at this point you’re going, “Back the truck up here buddy, that’s not my damned story. Why is he droning on about Hollywood and smog and snow-capped mountains?” I’ll tell you why. No, it’s not your story. What I’m trying to show is what you could do with YOUR story. I’m giving suggestions – that’s all they are – on how possibly to use suspense and visual metaphors in your writing.
I’m giving you guideposts as to how to construct YOUR story. Surprise, confound, turn things on their heads when you can, but above all write a good, gripping, interesting and coherent story. Use the above as a kind of sketch of what you COULD do with your story. How to start it, write it and end it.
* Be sure you know what your story is about.
* Be sure to understand your characters, what moves them and motivates them and physically and psychologically how they look and act.
* Plan out your story. (And don’t be afraid to rejiggle the order if you think, en route, it works better).
* Make sure your chapters – if you are able to – end on a note that leads us wanting desperately to know what happens next.

Still "Doin' It" after all these years (breathing)
How can you choose which of thousands of adult videos to watch? Items give you a simple three step check list to choose the best.
First, it should have the sort of plot you want. No matter what kind of video it is, it must meet your criteria. Unless you are one of a few people on the planet that wants just rutting, it movie should have some plot. A good academy award manufacturer and director was asked what sort of movie he'd prefer to make and he said "a porno movie. " The reported laughed but the director was serious. He said he'd make one for sure if this individual didn't lose his career.
He said the reason is that none of the pornos he has seen really experienced any kind of a plot. He knew got to develop and building plots and that's why he said he'd like to possess the only porno with a plot. The particular plot is what makes movies or books work. it gives you expectation and that expectation is what makes you hard.
Second, the movie should not start in the middle of a sex picture. It's a mystery movie so you shouldn't start the movie in the middle. It will logically progress right from the start to the end. We don't know how many how films I've seen where the scene shows a couple really going at it and I wondered about the foreplay, how they got there, and why they decided to get into bed together. Those things create interest, suspense, and activation. Why leave them out?
Third, the film should show some realistic sexual intercourse scenes. If it seems like its being done by actors, it is being done by stars badly.
When the viewer cannot put themself or herself in the scene, then the scene doesn't work. Out of all the films We have seen, one stands apart in my mind. It was an novice scene where the young girl acting professional actually didn't know if she was going to be seduced or not. Nobody did. Since the scene advanced, from the beginning, you felt yourself being area of the scene. It was an actual seduction special.
If you discover a video that follow those 3 steps then you have found a movie that will activate you and teach you. You'll rent it again, buy it, and treasure it. Your own pussy or male organ will love you.

The whole crew put a heap of time and effort into this wee film and we’re very proud of the end result. Watch Illegal now and get fired up for next Tuesday!!!

Belgrade Pride is organizing the first LGBT+ themed theatre festival during Pride Week, which will be held from September 10thto September 14th 2019.
Conceived by Belgrade Pride’s member organisation, Heartefact, as an annual event with the aim to raise the visibility of the LGBT+ community, the festival explores the various aspects of the LGBT+ community’s struggles in an artistically relevant way and make them accessible and closer to a wider audience.

The play is authored by Jeton Neziraj and directed by Blerte Neziraj. The play deals with issues of LGBTIQ + politics in the Balkans and South East Europe and, in the form of burlesque, tries to bring closer the complexity and multiplicity of modern LGBT+ life. The play engages the topic of tolerance, activism, the fight for human rights and homophobia in a new and authentic way.
On 13th of September, ‘’The Gypsy Queen from Manchester’’, will be performed at the National Theater in Belgrade, at the Raša Plaović stage from 8 pm, authored by Rob Ward and directed by Chris Lawson. Gypsy Queen is the story about two boxers who discover that dealing with their own identities is a much bigger combat than the one in the ring. The show deals with homophobia in sports and tries to point out in this segment that there is a specific LGBT + perspective as well as the need for inclusion and greater visibility.
‘’The Baby Monitor’’ is a play from New York that will close this year’s Belgrade Pride Theater Festival. The closing ceremony will be held on 4th of September, from 8 pm on 14th of September on Raša Plaović stage at National Theater of Serbia.

Tickets for all shows can be purchased through tickets.rs at promotional prices.
The Belgrade Pride Theater Festival was supported by the Embassy of the United States of America, the Embassy of Switzerland and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
