Re: WTF in America Part 2

That’s a good point. It’s been several years since I went to the cinema, and I have no recollection of where it was or what I saw.

Re: WTF in America Part 2

I just watched the trailer for that. It looks pretty good. Odd, how the actual title of the film is completely different from the English-language title.

The political agenda of the film is...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

The first film I saw at the cinema was Bridge on the River Kwai, so it must have been 1957. I remember being blown away by the colour & the sound quality, since I assume the only video images I’d...

No need to apologize, Steerpike! It is quite possible I said something like what you are quoting from memory .. my knowledge of popular culture is fragmentary at best. And yes, I’ve seen every single...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

I don’t think this can possibly be true! I mean, Casablanca is one of my favorite movies. I’ve seen most Woodie Allen movies, some of them many times. I’ve seen Maltese Falcon. I’ve watched the...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

Yeah, not far from the truth actually. Also, I was intrigued by the references to the filming of Legally Blonde on the UCLA campus. (Apparently USC and Caltech in Pasadena were also sets for that...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

Extremely weird story in the Guardian. This is not so much “WTF in America” as “WTF in this person’s head.” She’s an English person who decided to go to UCLA because of her perception of the American...

Re: WTF in America Part 2

Re: WTF in America Part 2

Huh, I’d never heard of that. Apparently there was a movie of that name in 1940, so apparently it’s not a new thing.

Re: WTF in America Part 2
