Weird... me and MY brothers (I have three) say things in German! No I thought it wouldn't be funny because of the whole Germany invading your country in WWI and II. Good old Schlieffen Plan. I mean the closest we got was a German u-boat landing on our coast, so the soldiers could get some fresh air. You'd kinda need that after going halfway around the world. Funny thing is, some boy scouts threw rocks at them and they ran back to the u-boat. True story, we actually used boy scouts to repel the German invasion, and what did Belgium do huh?
Hehe. German is always funny. Me and my brothers tend to say famous things, but in German. And when we don't know the word in German, we just make something German-sounding up. But yeah, it's not THAT funny since I'm used to The Lion King in my own language. Of course, the English speaking world sees all those translations as funny. But it's not like France and Germany and almost every other European country. We don't dub everything, we sub. Only animated series we dub, cause when they're being sent out on tv, they're meant for children yknow. (As they are in the cinema, but there's always Original version and Translated version.) But it doesn't make much sense to see (for instance) Batman's mouth moving, and hearing a ridiculous French voice. I don't see how those guys NOT laugh at their own broadcasts. Oh well.
What do you think of this: YouTube - The Lion King - Be Prepared (German) I think it's hilarious, but then again, you living in Belgium might not make it so. But still, it's uncanny.
Well, I just posted the upper part of the General Ranking in TFF's Movie Database. It'll be a tough job to maintain it properly and keep it up to date. But I added a little "last top 10:..." message to indicate what top 10 points were added last.
Yeah that's very true. I lot of those films I haven't yet seen. Though I have seen Scarface, and I can tell you it's really quite good. I'm surprised you haven't seen 2001 yet! Any self-respecting Kubrick fan would see that! Looking forward to the poll (or whatever it morphs into, I trust you).
Yeah, I get to pick. But I'm gonna watch Scarface first today. I can't believe I still haven't seen that one. I haven't seen Eyes Wide Shut yet either so... OR 2001. Embarrassing. I think I'm gonna pick a couple of movies from several decades. Picking a Top 10 is hard when you haven't seen all films you'd love to see.
Tres bien! But I want to see yours! Do you get to pick?
Hi, I've decided to work the Movie ranking thing out in a different way. The TFF's Movie Database will be supervised and updated by yours truly. I thought you might want to check it out and post your own Top 10: http://thefinalfantasy.net/forums/te...-database.html peace!
You don't remember it as the best movie anymore because the truly amazing aspects of the film are too familiar to you. It will come back, unless you've just moved on of course. And no I haven't even seen Fight Club. I'm meaning to, and I've got the e-book on my iPod, unfortunately unread. I'll get round to it once I've got some time to myself for a change.
MMMMMMM.... juicy oranges.... Hmm wut? Yeah seeing a movie too close to the last time can deteriorate viewing pleasure, especially because when you watch a movie again after having missed it for at least six months you notice bits that are either new subtleties, or bits you'd just simply forgotten. When was the last time you watched it? No film, no matter how good, is better than the third time you watch it. The first time is bloody good, the second time you get a better grasp of the plot, and the third time is when you really pick up on music, cinematic techniques and acting talent that make an excellent film a great film. Kubrick is a perfectionist. But if you're too familiar with a film it is too hard to be amazed. Giving something a rest before going back to it is a great way to be re-enlightened about amazing scenes.
Favourite film doesn't mean you could watch it over and over again. I just like the cocky, arrogant, violent narrator and how he goes unpunished in the end. Also there's not really a moral in it. Apart from the "humans may look like juicy oranges, but they're just clockworks on the inside, simple mechanical beings". So what do you think is the reason that I'm not all high on A Clockwork Orange anymore? And do you like the film Fight Club?
I just watched A Clockwork Orange again and I can't seem to remember why I thought of it as the best movie ever. It's a great story. And I love how it is narrated by the violent Alex and all. But I don't think I would call it the best movie anymore. Thought that might just be cause I saw it too close to the previous time I watched it. Fight Club is one of my favourites. Along with A Clockwork Orange of course. Also, The Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs and American History X are among my favourites. I feel like such a cheat now that I've seen A Clockwork Orange again and didn't found it be as good as I remembered. But like I said, maybe I watched it too close to the previous time.
Well then, if this is what it's like to be a grumpy old man, then BRING IT ON! There are a lot of things to complain about
You mean "mom" instead of the regular "mum"? And I don't like the fact that every verb can be written with "-ise" as well as "-ize". I mean, where does that 'z' come from? Granted, some original English verbs can be written with a 'z' in Britsh English as well, but that doesn't mean you should turn everything into "-ize". Sigh You realise we sound like two grumpy old men, right?
I don't understand why they called it football when it's a completely different game, with a completely different type of ball, with a completely different type of .... I could go on for days. Let's just settle at the fact that Americans like to steal our words and change their meaning. Best example is the word "Liberal". To them it means someone who supports a welfare state. To the rest of the world it means the French Physiocrats, and the later English School of Liberalism, including Smith, Locke, and Ricardo, who believe in limited state intervention into the economy, and free markets. And then we've got the whole -ization suffix problem. And the word "mom". They bastardise the English language.
