Good Bye Lenin!

Ux - danke schoen
Good Bye Lenin! is german for "funny scripts, excellent characters and neat acting equals awesome movies". a son has to prevent his mom from knowing about communist germany's fall as she wakes up from a coma shortly after and should not hear anything exciting. he goes about recreating the east of the past and hilarity ensues. the "making of" special feature on the dvd reveals how the crew had to recreate a 90s germany in 2001 through some amazing conversations with the director and editor.

Yes, I agree. This is a neat movie. Saw it a while back in London, excellent characters and quick moving . Bugga did not have subtitles in English for half the movie, but still..

Neato...

While I am trying to type those silly captcha you got here, I wonder will a good captcha be copy & paste the some text. Its easy for "hu(wo)mans" and machines will have a tough time with this... still need to think a little.. on this.. want to co-author a paper?

can't believe a comment is longer than my post..i am going to rejoice and forget to post again. dont remove ur rss..u wont be using it any more

captcha idea is similar to one of em encryption algos. however the q is who distributes the text that one has to copy and paste.. and this silly captcha has managed to keep most bots out of here

You missed my point. My point is that the captcha should be a copy & paste rather than typing.
Agony is that reading is pain, on top of it reading cooked up freaking words which are squiggly is more pain.
So, we have copy and paste captchas, where, we, the users, copy and paste text... now I agree this needs more thought, but now I am wondering did you actually miss my point, or am I just being me.
Paste the third word in the last paragraph to comment on this blog...

no i missed it..didnt think of it that way. it still requires a kind of manual setup each time to do it..

one of the other blogs i've been on, asks a simple question - what color is an orange?...static, easy to setup and no squiggly lines to decipher

A nice movie and a nice post for it. I am sure Arya's 'Oru kalloriyin kathai' is based on this. How come you didnt mention about that?
