Rellik Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 15 hours ago, tous said: One of the most interesting aspects of learning a foreign language are the idioms, which are really learning the culture. For me, learning the language is pretty much inventorying verbs, nouns and adjectives. The idioms, the figures of speech, the expressions are what make the language and the culture fascinating. Examples: Avoir les chenilles qui enflent. (you have ankles that swell: said when one is full of one's self -- see You have a swelled head in American English) No me tomes el pelo. (Don't pull my hair: don't mess with me; don't tease me -- see Don't blow smoke up my skirt in American English) I flatulate in your general direction. You son of a hamster, that eats too much elderberry. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Donut Occlusion? How about a Donut Plug or a Donut Slug? Maybe a Donut Punching? My vote is for Donut Dross. Hard to tell. They are in motion, and hitherto fore cannot be fixed in space. And continuum stuff and all that. Fore sooth even! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I just watched The Beekeeper last night. Great movie about a guy, who kind of like the good guy in Sisu, is a virtual one-man-Army, but the odds are even greater against him, and the bad guys are just as bad as any Nazi's. The movie is a little over the top but quite well done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 For some reason I was reminded of “I Want To Live” a 1958 film staring Rita Hayward. Believe she won an Oscar for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't let them cast Lizzo as the lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 We watched High Plains Drifter last night. I always relate it to Pale Rider, probably because they have a similar surreal quality (like Dali knocking over a bridge). I get 10 - 15 minutes into HPD and think "Hey, where's Sydney?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 BTW, Susan Hayward was one fine lookin' white woman! And that bourbon & cigarette voice was incredible. Cancer sucks! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 We ended up watching Renfield last night because it was shorter than Violent Night and we were getting a late start watching anything. Soooo... I admit I laughed. Not a fan of blood-n-guts horror, but there was enough comedy that it was worth the time spent. Especially since it got both the kids watching the same thing, which is a rarity anymore. We'll try for Violent Night again this evening, if we are home early enough... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
