Titolo: My first English movie :)

I think I'm in the club now :)
I've just watched my first English film!
First of all I'd like to thank you all for encouraging
me... and especially Sebastiano for cheering me up when I felt down,
fearing I couldn't get along well with spoken English :) 
(then I'd love to add I'm still waiting for those English ears to come)
And now my first impression (please don't expect a review of the movie, 
I haven't learned how to use Dialog's spoiler tags properly ^_^).
I had a very good time with Notting hill, it was pleasant and smooth
flowing though I found some difficulties in understanding some parts of the
speech.. so I opted for a painless solution, I watched some parts of it and
I checked what I understood with subtitles (as I promised myself I would do
in case I couldn't understand much, I'm not that stubborn..)
I liked it anyway, I hope I will get used to English dialogues by seeing
more movies :)
Ciao :)

320 lines... I think I haven't learned how to use Dialog at all... sorry :)

You will, don't worry.

If you feel the need to e-mail me, un-not my address first.

Just use menu "Speciale - Inserisci carattere di spoiler", or Ctrl-L
in my Dialog, before and after the text you want to hide.
Then, use "Modifica - Mostra il testo con spoiler", or Ctrl-L,  to
show it.
Mind you, some readers could show the spoilered text anyway, so don't
rely too much on that system!
The best spoiler, in my view, is the simplest: 
just  write "SPOILER"  and leave some 20-30 blank lines (or "SPOILER"
lines) before your review.

Eheh thanks, anyway don't worry too much, I have difficulties
in understanding some *Italian* people too :)
By the way yesterday I didn't want to write a kind of review because
I was very tired (for the most curious ones I nodded out on the keyboard
-_-) and I wanted to go to sleep :) (Actually I did it after the awakening)
Well what should I say...
now I'll add a couple of empty lines for some spoilers about the movie
SPOILER SPACE (I use a high resolution desktop hope it's enough)
Now I can really say I love Julia Roberts :)
She's beautiful, has a very pleasant voice and I love her way to act.
This is  the quote I prefer: "After all.. I'm just a girl.. standing in
front of a boy.. asking him to love her" <- I watched it a couple times
And the coolest character I've ever seen in a movie is Spike, he just hides
his intelligence :)
"you daft prick", I will remember his expression when he says it forever, I
guess :)
or the story that would make William's balls shrink as raisins, lol :)
about the whole movie... surreal.. but nice I'd say :))))

in understanding some *Italian* people too :)
He was on about *English* accents :)) 
I'm glad you enjoyed your first English movie. I had the chance to
acquire "Lo chiamavano Trinità" I got all exited, the thought of
watching an Italian film with Italian subtitles, but unfortunately I
found out that it was dubbed into English :((
Do you know of any good Italians films? Ones that I can buy on DVD
that have Italian subtitles?

 more movies :)
See Gladiator!!!!!!!!!!!

How is Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind"? Yesterday night I didn't see it because
I had already (in Italian, unfortunately).

Domanda: "Era il figlio di Iside e Osiride".
Risposta: "Thor".
(quiz televisivo)

 that have Italian subtitles?
http://www.dvd.it/page/dett/froms/Y/arti/185791/nati_con_la_camicia.html
Anyway I'd like to point out I've never bought anything from that site so
I'm not sure neither about the payment methods accepted nor about the
reliability of the site.
but if you like the genre if I were you I'd give it a try and how!(but
maybe we should search it elsewhere for lower prices), especially because
it has also English dialogues if you have doubts.
Hope it helps :)
-- 
Yeah, whatever...

 I had already (in Italian, unfortunately).
Unfortunately, I don't know. :-(
But in Gladiator all actors have a very good pronunciation
Ottimo lavoro, ottimo anche il suo inglese, figliuuuuuuuolo :D

Thanks, I'll have a browse through. Do you yourself know of any good
recent Italian language film? .. a Thriller perhaps?

 Yesterday night
FB ???

 FB ???
Yester.....night? :P 

 recent Italian language film? .. a Thriller perhaps?
http://www.dvd.it/page/dett/froms/Y/arti/26437/tenebre.html
this is not that recent but it's a good movie (though my mother claims
"profondo rosso" is way better than tenebre)
So the reason why I suggest that you try it instead of profondo rosso is
the following: It has subtitles in both languages (English and Italian I
mean) like the dialogues.
A very funny movie is "viaggi di nozze" instead :)
I'm not sure about subtitles though
-- 
Yeah, whatever...

Mrs. Palmer, in her way, was equally angry. 'She was determined to drop his
acquaintance immediately, and she was very thankful that she had never been
acquainted with him at all'. (Jane Austen)

I'm not sure about subtitles though
I'll see how I get on with Tenebre first.
Thanks again.

 Thanks again.
Ok, good luck then :)
If you don't get something feel free to ask... :)
-- 
Yeah, whatever...

 How is Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind"?
He's good - for Crowe's own acting standards, so do not expect that
much. ;-)
Ciao,
 Emmanuele.

 I've just watched my first English film!
Io di film in inglese ne ho visti decine e decine in TV, ma 
con i sottotitoli in sloveno :-/
 
-- 
oggi no, domani sì

 con i sottotitoli in sloveno :-/
di certo non aiutano :)
-- 
Yeah, whatever...

his intelligence :)
I've just watched this film again. Did you notice Spike's accent? He
isn't English.

 isn't English.
Yes, Spike is from Wales but somehow (and I still wonder how) I could
understand him.
-- 
Yeah, whatever...

The difference is subtle, but obvious.
