What exactly do people do for fun there?
You can't drink, no movies, I don't think there is a huge history of sport outside of soccer expansion.
GAF'ing and gaming 24/7 ;_;What exactly do people do for fun there?

Damn, I figured what with the artificial ski hill in the Dubai mall, cinemas would be a given
I thought KSA had cinemas before 1979. The king ordered their closure in response to the 79 masjid al haram seizure.for the people who don't know , we never had any cinema here
I am afraid to ask, does ISIS allow cinema?
Probably because of the Sahwa movement.in response to the 79 masjid al haram seizure.

I mean, Wahabbism is how Saudi Arabia started in the first place and has continued to be the official radical belief school for the whole countryMindblowing. I had no idea there were no cinemas there.
Wahabbism really fucked things up hard, hasn't it ?
congratulations saudia arabia on the two hours of cinema
I am sorry burst the bubble but the Government just denied that.

Sorry, I tried to find English sources but I couldn't
Edit : damn I am late.
Translate it please...? You post the originals like we all speak this
Is Bahrain like way more liberal than SA or something? On one of my trips there I remember seeing part of the film Chasing Amy on TV which surprised me given just the theme of the movie(the main female character being a lesbian).
These overtures in Saudia are interesting to see. Like with the whole "women's suffrage in local elections" they did recently.
Do you have a read on why this is finally happening, OP? Do you think it's related to the government trying to pre-empt reform from below with a few tactical concession reforms from above?

Context: That bio used to say "Head of the Saudi cinema committee" and now it's nothing.
Lol the backlash was so hard they had to backpedal within hours.

we can critize ass backward world views and ideologies - we have a right to be snarky that this is news in 2015.
yeah but this isn't an ass backwards thing, this is the opposite.. them stepping away at least a little bit from ass backwardness. that's why it's kind of a dick move to be snarky, imo.
What a way to direct a film under ridiculous restrictions!hugocésar;189056372 said:Wonder if they'll show Wadjda. It's a really wonderful film, and it's the first film made by a woman in Saudi Arabia. The making of it is fascinating.
What a way to direct a film under ridiculous restrictions!
Wadjda was filmed on the streets of Riyadh, which often made it necessary for the director to work from the back of a van, as she could not publicly mix with the men in the crew. Often, she could only communicate via walkie-talkie and had to watch the actors on a monitor. This made it difficult to direct: "It made me realise the need to rehearse and to develop an understanding for each scene before we shot it."
Probably a similar dumbass reason why women can't drive. Or have to walk behind their husband. Women and men can't mix unless they're with their husband, or some shit.Why thought what's the reason for this
Weren't fictional books banned at some point since they were considered a form of lying? Saudi Arabia is gonna Saudi Arabia I guess.
Fuck how stupid is this post? Honestly, do you even have a clue how stupid you come across?Damn, I figured what with the artificial ski hill in the Dubai mall, cinemas would be a given

Women voting AND cinemas opening in the same week? That's going way too far.
