If you regularly read this blog (and I hope that you do), you'll know I live in the Czech Republic. Sometimes I yearn to watch a bit of TV in English and will occasionally rent a DVD movie or two so that I can. Well, last night I rented a movie called BABEL. Frankly it wasn't that good. Don't know if you have ever seen this movie but I felt quite cheated. You see, we set the movie for English language with Czech subtitles and what I didn't know until it was too late was that it is about 20 minutes into the movie until anyone speaks English.

Yes, there I am trying to understand the Czech subtitles for whatever language they speak in Morocco. Then, for the Spanish spoke by the kid's Mexican nanny in the movie, then the French spoken on the bus by the tourists...... aghhhhhhh. I guess it wasn't my night. And this continues through the movie. In fact, I'd swear that in the two hours we watched that movie that there was only 5-minutes of English dialogue.

Oh well......
