I like (most) of these actors, but it's a shame they didn't find four unknowns from Liverpool to play The Beatlesโ€”especially considering how many people are currently praising that kid from ADOLESCENCE and the performance given by an unknown, untrained young actor.

Hong Kongers remain very satisfied with their public transports, partly thanks to the convenient Octopus card. Singaporeans are less happy, although objectively it's one of the best. Can understand Jakartans' satisfaction with its new metro system. No Tokyo again. www.timeout.com/asia/news/th...
