After spending 7 years and lots of money,I finally got my degree on English language...but sometimes it's hard for me to understand most of you, since I'm not familiar to common expressions of English language...e.g. what "dunno" means??Please give me your lights...

Give me your lights=a greek slang expression meaning "let me know" translated (unsuccesfully) in English... WTF IMO LOL???
I do watch films but, yunno, I read the subtitles...

hmm, well you listen while you watch, dont you? that helps it can be really funny to read and listen at the same time, just to see our uncapable translators and their silly mistakes :)

Do you think that this will help? Well...dunno...but I'll try it!
I love the dubbed soap-operas where the actors move their lips and the voice comes out after a couple of seconds...

hehe, yeah, that looks quite silly, especially when you know the actors real tone of voice...

he was in get shorty
but i like him almost in every film (cant think of one that i didnt like him in)
my fav films with farina: -snatch -romeo is bleeding -another stakeout -get shorty -sidewalks of new york
he usually doesnt get the big part (which is a big shame), but that little that he does is the highlight of the film :)

well, its a romantic thing (a guy and a girl meet in new york)
i watched this mainly because of edward burns - he directed this one - and i liked the first film he directed (she's the one)
he also acted in both films
and i was pleasently surprised when i saw farina is performing in it as well - very funny role again
