Random Card of the Day

While I don't care for the card set, I do have something interesting to say about the movie. I was in High School when this movie came out. I saw the movie then. But I was forced to watched it again in late-94 or early-95 as part of my French II class my Junior year of HS. We were shown the all-French version of the movie (without English subtitles). I was actually keeping up with it, except for all the songs. I can't even make out the lyrics in English of every song I've ever heard (now or then), so the French version didn't help any. I know what the teacher was trying to do with showing us the movie, but it really didn't work out well. It seems like most of the class went backwards in progression with the language after that viewing. American English is not that easy, but you can't retro-fit it to the older languages. It made me completely understand why people with a different primary language can not quite get all the nuances of American English. We have the same problems with their language as they do with ours.

Even dialect can cause confusion in the same language. Whenever I've traveled to the Northeast US, they know I am from the south, but when I go farther south, they know I am from the north - but not the far north. Either direction I travel, I have to slow down what I am saying. I can't say "mileanhour" in the northern states from New England all the way to Chicago and down to St. Louis without breaking those words apart. But down in the Gulf states, I didn't say it quite fast enough (milenour). And for anyone else who doesn't understand what I'm saying: I'm talking about how many "miles I traveled in an hour's time".

Hmm I missed seeing this one for some reason. What was I doing last Monday? Anyway the front doesn't look like a card looks like the close up from a larger picture. Back is OK for having two fronts on a card. There really should be some idenifying text letting people know what was going on with the characters for that scene.

I took a look at the checklist. The front is part of a puzzle.
