    Dubbing v Subbing

    Yes, for some of us who live in non english speaking countries, it isnt an option, just a necessary evil and nothing to be done. I prefer subtitles, because I like to see a film as the director intended it to be seen, same as I like a book stay as it was written, not edited to make it more...

    Getting Logged Out (and losing your post)

    logged out Is there a time limit on being logged in? Nearly every time I write reasonably lengthy reply, when I go to post it, I'm told I'm not logged in ( although I was when I started the post). It meant I had to start all over again. I've just had it happen again, its really disheartening...

    Vegitarian help please....

    How do you mean, replacement? Are you looking for something that imitates the taste or an equivalent in terms of nutrition? If you are looking for something with the same taste and feel, as regular meat eaters, I doubt that you will find it, but as far as nutrition is concerned there are plenty...

    Cormac McCarthy: No Country For Old Men

    Dammit Lenny, its not availably yet in the UK, except in pricey hardback version...I'll hang on a bit for the paperback, but if it doesn't come out soon I might have to hit the credit card again :(

    I would think that if it was a cheap looking programme, but it isn't. It seems to have very high production values, and the acting is excellent.

    I love Inspector Derrick! Comissario Rex is shown here at prime time as well, but then kid's dont seem to go to bed before midnight, so that should tell you what Italian TV is like.

    Vegitarian help please....

    I was a vegetarian for 15 years, and they were the most healthy years of my life...then I met and married an Italian chef, and although the spirit was trying to be willing, the flesh got weak ( well caved in immediately actually). Now I'm about 5 kilos overweight and have a cholesterol level...

    Haruki Murakami

    This is one of the things I love about Lynch and one of the things I love about HM. When we were showing Lost Highway at the centre I worked in the UK, so many people expected an explanation as to what had 'happened' in this film and 'how' could certain things have happened. Its really difficult...

    Trying to understand people

    I think that's fine, the introductions are a bit like going on those work courses, or starting an evening class, and you just know that the person in charge is going to say 'Lets go round the room, everyone introduce themselves and tell us a bit about why they are here'' and you just want to...

    Haruki Murakami

    I'm thinking about Lost Highway, one of my favourite Lynch films, and how close it is in style to HM. I would really love to see a Lynchian treatment of Dance Dance Dance, it's exactly the right material. Oh dear, what's the next stage after Old Timers for those of us who's 30's are a...

    Trying to understand people

    Nicely put if a bit shudder making. It occured to me after I had posted that perhaps some people can't find the confidence to post, I think that happens a lot when people are new to forums. It can also be hard trying to get into an established forum, I' sure some people like the attention...

    I ought to try that again, I couldnt find anything the first time I searched. Well now dubbing! I would never watch anything in the UK that was dubbed, but here its an art form in itself, and actually the Italians do it very well. Tom Cruise dubbed sounds exactly like Tom Cruise speaking...

    Haruki Murakami

    I just lost my reply too, damn :mad: These suggestions are just what I need, until now I have been randomly buying and needed some structure, so I welcome the input. I feel like a sort of Italian version of Sheila Graham with a couple of Ernest Hemingways, this forum is so good. (I feel a...
