Admiral Yi


Savonarola

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Kleves

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Grand Duke of Lurkdom

jimmy olsen

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I quite like the look of that.

Two quibbles:
1 - Not enough Jean Reno.
2 - Pseudo-Inception horn :bleeding:

Be Big (1931)
In those days there wasn't dubbing or subtitles; so Stan and Ollie did the film three times.  Once in English, then in Spanish and then in French.  They read their lines off of cue cards with the words written phonetically.  Say un o-tra bone ga-shee


Yes.  :yes: Later on, dubbing caught or was enforced by the State for political reasons (digression) but since French people were used to their accents the dubbers had to make a British-accented French dub.  :nerd:

How is Hardy's trademark line: "This is another fine mess you've gotten me into", translated in the French dubs?

The Spanish-language version of Dracula (1931) is notoriously better than the original.

"Tu m'as encore mis dans un beau pétrin" but I'm not sure if they said it themselves first and the dubbers just recycled it or if it's a dubber translation.
Need to check the Laurel & Hardy murder case in French to be sure.

wasn't Jean Reno in the Broderick/Diddy Godzilla?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Yeap, weren't it for Bela Lugosi, it would be better known. It was lost and then refound in the '70s IIRC.
