Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy movie recommendaton for the day is "A Hologram For The King", which stars Tom Hanks.
The blurb on my cable tv said that it was set in Saudi Arabia so I thought that with my background of
growing up in West Pakistan back in the day I might enjoy it. The movie was nothing like I expected
and I did enjoy it very much. I still enjoy it and will watch it every chance I get.
No spoilers, no links but if you don't enjoy it I'll eat a bug.
