Jynxx 4 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Tron shit..I haven´t hear that one for prolly 30 years. Low budget. kids stuff. I agree Germans have the worst fashion of all Europeans. They put bad taste silly costumes on Operas and Ballet and have absolutely no artistic sense. Makes it looks like their post modern architecture Link to post Share on other sites

Please don't sprout bollocks like that. The costume budget alone was $13mil. low budget. And they advertised the movie three years running at Comic Con, whose largest demographic, is the 18-34. Kids indeed. Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Yeah, rough sounds (but now I can speak it, it´s not so bad) Depends who speaks really. English spoken by most Brits is very unattractive. Australian, say no more. I like the Southern USA English Link to post Share on other sites

ippy 66 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 when i was a kid (age 9-12 and 14-18) i lived in germany and HATED it, (I was a forces brat so it wasnt as integrated as it sounds). But all i could think about was being back in the UK (in scotland in particular) watching four channels of telly and going to a proper school and eating the same crap i ate. Instead im stuck in this rather uptight traditional place in the middle of nowhere - Near Goch in Kreise Kleve if you must know. But now im getting on a bit and i tell you, theres a pull to germany that my heart absolutely years for. If its not the shnellimbiss, (excuse every german word misspelled, its been a long time), its just the whole peaceful slow pace of life. I keep seeing this vision of ye olde world houses covered in snow and its simply beautiful. And the people! There we are occupying their country (nyuk nyuk, no point making a pro germany post without a bit of controversy), and the people were nothing but gentle, accommodating and frankly beautiful. Nostalgia has clearly affected my brain and maybe i need a couple of weeks to start feeling stir crazy again, but i reckon with age, pleasures become more embodied and less abstract. And if there is a place in the world that pleasures the senses, it has to be Germany. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Funny that, about memories. I grew up in Wimbledon London as a kid age 5-11 and had put that experience as "privileged" and "advantage" since it made me speak English and get to see some of Europe. But as I grew older, I came to realize I really had a bad time, England being a really shitty place to grow up and just bullshitting myself to cover that up. (Australia would have been better.)I sometimes wish I never went there. I made one good friend I am back in touch with now after finding his name as an author of a couple of books. Looking forward to seeing him again. Link to post Share on other sites
