Now this is psychic.
I dropped off to sleep about midnight but about 2:30 a.m., woke up in a sweat and had this idea I'd best check comments. Turned on the Mac and checked. Nope - nothing unusual. Thought I'd check Ordo and Halls of Macadamia.
Now why would I do that? Well, because they're good blogs, I know but I think you understand.
Ordo had a meme up he'd been tagged with. Oh how I detest memes but he's an interesting guy and when I saw "four places I have lived", I thought hmmm - interesting. Got to the end and what do you know? He's tagged me among four people. Well, Ordo, your wish is my command.

Snatch? Really? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's the Goblin Version of LOTR then?
ReplyDeleteSnatch is a controversial film because it is so low in its subject matter and yet it is very clever in much of its dialogue and as a piece of film-making, it is technically very complex. Plus Wimbledon were the team I followed and Vinnie was one of them. A person can't be highbrow or even mediumbrow the whole time - one needs relief now and then.
ReplyDeleteOrdo - the Goblin version is in Russian and uses street jargon as a dub. It takes the p-ss out of everything. For example, as they float down the river in boats and come near the giant statues, Aragorn says to the party: "There you go, our national heroes - Marx and Engels."
That's a joke over there now. In the cave, Gandalf shouts at the Balrog Rammstein's words, to their music: "You have nothing." And so on.
All the characters have their own names. For example, Aragorn is the Bomzh from Honduras, bomzh being a homeless person in Russia. Frodo becomes Feodor Sumkin, sumkin being a handbag and so on. The elf king is Agent Smith.
The main humour though is in the guy's voice who does it - he's a very funny man.
Ohhhh a tag .... will have a bash later and let you know when its on my blog :o) Xx
ReplyDeleteI think I need you to visit and take care of my garden for me. It is in a bit of a mess at the moment.
