What have you seen recently?

[DaveC]

Currently watching The Princess and the Warrior, weird surreal fantasy drama starring Franke Potente and directed by Tom Tykwer. It's the film the two of them made after Run, Lola, Run.

 

[pip]

Never heard of it but loved Lola

 

[DaveC]

It's in German and I'm not really concentrating but its very visual! Worth watching. I recorded it off TV back in the Spring and have been watching it on and off since then but have nearly finished it now.

We have a TV station here called SBS. Its a government channel (funded) but it shows ALL the best foreign films and some bad ones too. The sort you would see on a cable "world movies". Everyone of them is beautifully subtitled. They also show about 25 different countries main news broadcasts in thier own language. My middle child was addicted to the China news as a baby and used to sit and giggle her head off. I thought ever country had this until I learned that it is a one of a kind.

Cool. I knew Gaelic - but not the Irish version! Thas my new thing for the day.

 

[pip]

No one in ireland calls the language Gaelic. This tends to be used to describe the Irish Sports. The language is Irish or Gaeilge.

 

[Antiq]

Isn't it Erse really? I guess that's a bit archaic though.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I watched How to train your Dragon it was good.

And a few clips of the Mammy Brendn O'Carroll is funny.
