    I will, thanks.

        Anyway, if you're a baseball fan or character piece fan you should check it out. As far as I could tell the depiction was pretty accurate of how things are. I had a 28 year old mission companion from Nicaragua who was drafted by the Dodgers and he told me it was pretty tough.
        I served my mission in the DR. Your Spanish is probably fine. Dominicans just have a very different way of speaking than most other Spanish speakers. I remember getting off the plane in the DR after going through the MTC and feeling pretty good about my Spanish only to be able to understand 0% of what anyone was saying.

            I've never been able to understand Carribean Spanish speakers, but I also have a hard to understanding certain English accents. When you are naturally tuned to hearing something one way, it can be hard when that thing sounds so different.

                I baptized a part member family. The husband was an RM Mexican who grew up mostly in the states. His wife and her children though were Dominican and I struggled understanding them. I was grateful that we had the husband to sit in on lessons with us to help.

                    "Oldboy"

                    Very interesting and unique. It's the first movie I can remember with that quality of dubbing. Maybe I've been watching too many foreign-language films recently.

                        The version you watched was dubbed into English?
                        Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

                        None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

                        I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

                            finally watched Scott Pilgrim.

                            Awesome. the beginning half I thought was better than the 2nd, but I really enjoyed just about everything about this film. Looking forward to getting the soundtrack.

                                Yes, it was. I'm assuming that's atypical?

                                    You must have just had the dubbing on instead of the subtitles. I did that on accident.

                                        I finally got around to seeing The Big Lebowski. Funny shiz. Bridges and Goodman were great, but I think Buschemi's character was my favorite for some reason, even though his role was much, much smaller. Jesus was awesome as well.

                                                In the last 24 hours I watched the Hangover and Old School. Those are great movies. Great. I also watched Starsky and Hutch because it was on HBO. And truth be told I only watched for the Brande Roderick locker room scene and turned that crap off. My goodness Owen Pochman.

                                                    Just watched The Deer Hunter for the first time in my life. That might be the most depressing movie I've ever seen.

                                                        Yea Let the Right One in defaults to dubbing, but I changed it in the blu ray settings. You lose a lot of the acting in movies like LTROI and oldboy with dubs.

                                                            Yeah those russian roulette scenes in Deer Hunter are some of the most intense scenes in film.
