More precisely, she is Sami, although she lives in Finnland. That's why she doesn't speak Finnish. ...Mmmm, I really love this movie. :)Quote:

I watch "3rd Rock from the Sun" now. It's much funnier in English than translated on Russian as I previously watched it on TV.
Ahhhhh... then you can't be all that bad and you have my permission to stay in your cave and not come out until you have watched all 6 seasons!Quote:

Watched it every week! Anything you don't get, just ask away!!
Okay... so below is a season 3 highlight and I selected this one as it has a couple of scenes in it that we have already discussed on this thread.
At the 1:34 Mark... Is a spoof of "Footloose" as "Dick" was the father/preacher from "Footloose"
At the 2:30 Mark... Is a spoof of the "STEEEELLLLLLAAAAAAA" line from "A Street Car Named Desire"
Now, at the 2:43 Mark, you may not understand this one so let me explain it..It is a spoof on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and their really old commercials. I only found ONE on you tube!

So, now that you know these little things, you can watch the highlights and enjoy!

No problem. Now that you have explained what it was you were trying to say, it makes it easier. It will take me a little bit and I don't have the time just this second. But I will get back to it . :wink:Quote:

I hope after all of this, it is worth it!!! :D
rockzmom, thanks! Now I see what you mean. Other scenes are very funny too. I'd like to register as STELLA at some forum with this avatar http://s43.radikal.ru/i102/0904/1a/751100d8a0e5.gif(just made it from your video), but the nickname seems to me somewhat female :D
Coffee Cup:
Here is my second attempt at my corrections and understanding exactly what you are trying to express in your review. Of course it would help if I had had a chance to see the movie!!! So, if I have messed it up again, just make notations, and we can try again. :good:

For many years people of the former USSR had been aware of the fabulous, magnificent, almost mythical “Godfather” movie, enjoyed by millions around the globe but not the people of the former USSR themselves. Ideological barriers prevented its infiltration to the bereft of sin territory of a socialist state and contaminating pure virtuous minds of its inhabitants. The only tangible unforbidden thing about the movie was the music from it. It was very much liked, it was beautiful indeed, but many were curious about the movie itself and when the barriers collapsed with perestroika coming in, the first thing in the morning, liberated masses tossing away their shackles rushed to watch “Godfather”. It makes me wonder, "where were those people at the time, who claim they have not seen the movie?" :-)Quote:

I think it would depend upon the forum and how many people would understand the meaning behind it. Did you understand it before I explained it on this thread? Had you heard of Street Car Named Desire? Have you read the play or seen the movie?
With all that said... I still think you would be considered a GUY as it is a GUY pouring beer all over himself and screaming a girl's name! So I think you would be safe.
And ya know... I have an photo of my daughter that was taken of her from one of her jobs as my avatar and my nick is RockzMom and everyone here thought I was a GUY :ROFL:
So whatever... if you like it, use it!
Okay all you multilingual persons or polyglots!
Here is (what I hope you can watch, I tested the link from withing this site so half the problem from last time is gone) a fan made clip of 3rd Rock shows where they used different languages within the show (not dubbed, the characters actually spoke the lines within the script).
Order of languages:
French
Spanish
Russian
Greek
Chinese
Turkish
"Turkeys"
Thai
British
Italian

Solyaris ("Солярис", 1972) review. The final cut. Thanks to Rockzmom.
Rockzmom, The idea is mainly focused on the "IT" and the personality of the human who meets "IT", so the society and the universe are out of the line. The clarifications "to tease or torment" after "a cute toy" are removed, as you noticed somewhere above Russians really like the questions to be left unanswered.Quote:
A very impressive psychological movie attempting to turn the viewer from thinking as a human to thinking past that and thinking of the human mind as being under a microscope.
What if the extraterrestrial mind ("IT") exists?
Maybe "IT" doesn't need to be shaped into some form of life?
Would we, humans, being so primitive, be even worthy of "IT's" attention?
What could "IT" learn, if anything, from us? What can we show or possibly teach to "IT"?
Would we be able to show "IT" all the knowledge of mankind or would we only be able to expose our personality?
If "IT" would be curious of our personality, would our personality be interesting enough for "IT" to want to become acquainted with us or would "IT" see us more like a cute toy?

Yesterday I was watching the film "Brazil" and suddenly there was this scene there
[video:16uco316]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEVHqgF__lw[/video:16uco316]
which obviously is a parody of the certain scene from the certain Russian film. Here it is:

This is the parody I like more:Quote:

At the end of the movie, Stella takes her baby and says that she will never be back to Stanley. Williams had never wrote such a nonsense.Quote:

I have also posted the FIRST episode or pilot. It took me a while to find this one and I did so for my girls so they could understand how the whole series started. I wasn't certain how many of you might have actually seen it.Tommy's lines in this are hysterical! Now my girls know for certain what teenage boys are thinking!!! :spiteful:

Being a child there was one subject (among many others) which fascinated all the children: the cowboy character. The cowboy was a guy who wore cowboy boots with spurs, cowboy leather vest along with the leather hat. And, of course, the cowboy had a pair of cowboy colts. Most of time cowboys spent in a saloon sipping whiskey and having philosophical conversations with each other. But when a problem met the cowboy, he immediately became sober and shot three or four dozen of enemies merely while the sweat droplet falls from his face to his boot. But the world crushed when I'd started to learn English and found out that a cowboy is not that magnificent guy but only a little boy who takes care about cows.Quote:

After the movie had been released the one word quote "inflation" filled the air. Twenty years has come but this quote is still valuable. Only in the last year the using of this quote was interchanged with "crisis". I hope the crisis not staying for a long and the "inflation" returns.
There is the movie shot in 1987. I still can't understand how this movie was able to appear on the Earth. The American movie where the main character was a Russian spy who fought with Americans from Pentagon and won ( !!! :o ) at the end of the movie. More over the character was pictured as the heroe ( !!! ).Quote:

That's true! I agree with rockzmom! Yesterday I just watched another american movie about Russian bastards :crazy: and... Italians (especially Sicilians) are most often mafiosi in american movies :oQuote:
