Spicy!

I went with a group of friends to eat street food snacks tonight. One expat friend ate a few and then said that he wanted his next one to be super spicy.

Our local friend warned, "No, don't take it like that. It will offend you in the night."

ALL

Another movie-related post...

Remember this point?

The movies are censored for extreme violence or sexual content. A violent scene from Angels and Demons was cut and lots of scenes from The Reader were cut. Sometimes when we are deciding whether or not to go see a movie, Jerry asks himself, "Do I just want to wait to watch it on DVD so I can see the entire movie?"

Well, Inglourious Basterds is playing here and I asked Jerry if he wanted to go see it. His reply,

"It will probably be censored. I want to see ALL the violence."


Whereas my thought was, "It will probably be censored. Good. I would rather see it here." Well, we ended up going and sure enough, we could tell when scenes were cut out. But we were both surprised at how much we enjoyed the film, especially me, although I did close my eyes during all of the killing scenes.

My husband... His quote deserves to be on here twice.

"It will probably be censored. I want to see ALL the violence."
