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...

Dunno means "don't know"

I Dunno = I don't know.

Got any more? and what's give me your lights mean? :P

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, cant you turn off subtitles?

No, my TV has not such an option...should I keep my eyes
closed?? :-D

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...

i know his face and ive seen in a few things very good in
snatch
was he in get shorty?

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



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
