The Twelve Tasks of Asterix is on tv, one of my all time favorite animated movies.

The task of getting Permit A38 is proverbial.

Indeed. I didn't know it existed outside of the francophone world.

Smoke Signals.  Pretty good.  I always wondered by Alexie would adapt his book into a coherent movie.  It more or less stays true to the character of the book, if not the style.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

It's the same here in Denmark :)
If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Asterix is very well known and loved in Sweden.

I got inspired to read some Asterix from my collection. LOL that shit is so awesome.

I've seen it in Alberta, even outside the french hamlets.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Some of my favorites were:
VIII (with the Brits)
X (where they join the [foreign] Legion)
XI (where they go to Auvergne for the spas)
XVI (Switzerland)
XXIII (where Obelix becomes mass producer of menhirs, causing a major economic crisis in the Empire - good lesson about economics)
XXVI (searching oil in the Middle East - the scene where they keep being attacked by nomads all at war with one another was on the spot)

Prince Caspian- Surprisingly good.
It must have been near 3 hours long but I didn't really get bored in it, after the initial set up its just battles, battles, battles.

Also I caught the first half of American Splendor (was on too late to see it all).
I was watching this and was unsure if it was a real biopic or a faux one. I've never heard of the comic its based on. There were hints it was real (Felix the Cat guy) but it wasn't really until they footage of the old 80s TV show with the visibly younger 'real' main character that I realised it.
Would like to see the rest, it was pretty good.

Only thing bad about English Asterix(might be true for every other translation) is that it seems to lose much of it's more subtle commentary on society.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Decided to watch The Breakfast Club again last night. :)

Watched Reservoir Dogs on Blu-ray last night.  Even better than I remembered it, and thankfully the transfer to Blu-ray was not half-assed :)  I think I only paid $10 for the movie, to boot.
