MB and I are sitting in the living room. I’m reading, writing, looking stuff up online, also baking biscuits for peaches and cream with biscuits. (Uhm, yummy.) MB is watching a movie in German. And giving a running commentary, albeit intermittent. Here’s some of what I’ve learned so far:
Oh. He’s cutting him a break.
Here’s some socialist lovin’.
Ew. Old man ass.
This is very interesting.
So he’s watching her go in ….
Man!
Eastern bloc countries don’t report suicides. (This seemed like a non sequitur to me, but what do I know?)
Our girl is in trouble.
Oh, wow. Okay. She doesn’t remember meeting him.
Oh, she’s ratting him out.
Uh-oh. Here it comes; she’s gonna kill herself.
See? I knew it. She’s dead.
“Four years and seven months later ….”
“Two years later …..”
Confession time.
He’s finding all the bugs.
They’re finding his dossier, all the files on him.
Oh, he put all this crap in there!
Oooh. Red ink.
Hahahahaha.
“Two years later ….”
Now he’s like the mailman.
Hahahahaha. There’s the East German Barnes and Noble.
He’s got a Members Only jacket, poor bastard.
Wow. He dedicated the book to him.
Cool. That was cool.
I’d tell you the movie but I don’t want to give it away, you know. Still, if you’re ever watching something in German and some poor bastard has a Members Only jacket …
Nothin’ better than a little “socialist loving”.
We saw this movie Sunday night. RIVETING. MB and I must be linked at the brain. First thing I thought when I saw the Members Only jacket, too. Or thereabouts. And old man ass is only made worse by the tighty-whities. Don’t they have boxers in the GDU? Geez…
Sorry, GDR.
Heh. My poor Ladybug. I do this to her too. It’s not even that I’m trying to spoil it, or pass judgment (which is how she takes it) – I literally can’t help it. It’s like critic’s OCD or something. Like or hate is not the point; it’s more of a giddy “wow check it out!” sort of thing, with much less giddiness.
If that makes sense. Of course it doesn’t; but that’s reality.
WG — How funny! Uhm, I kinda can’t believe you know what movie it is. And there were tightie-whities on the OMA? Not good. Not good at all.
NF — Yeah, I think it’s totally absent-minded on MB’s part. He’s just kind of muttering. But it was just cracking me up somehow.
You have NO IDEA. 😉
