Titolo: To Xakero, and anybody who's interested really

(Not that anybody should feel I regard them as "second best", however.
It's just that Xak and I... well... OK, look it up in googlegroups,
folks.)
Say I will be in the Manchester (UK) area around March 1 to 3 (please
don't ask), would anybody be interested in meeting up for drinks on
either Fri or Sat eve? 
Cheers,

Isn't the Sat eve... Friday?

Isn't the Sat eve... Friday?
Look harder and tell me if you can see what Fri, Sat and eve have in
common. Take your time, sweetie.

 either Fri or Sat eve? 
I am touched, honestly, that you should think of me in connection with
your forthcoming visit to Manchester UK, but I flew out of cold and
rainy London (had tea at St. James Restaurant of Fortnum & Mason)
again as quickly as I could yesterday evening, with a two-hour delay
in take-off due to the strong wind, to spend the next few months in
the warmer climate of South East Asia.
I hope that better weather will prevail on your journey to England,
true to the saying that when angels travel, the sun will shine :-)

 common. Take your time, sweetie.
well... calendar matter for sure! ;)
Should be (should!) that I wrongly translate eve? Isn't the English for
"vigilia"?

 "vigilia"?
Presently, yes. : )
Try the gerund, and see if it makes more sense.

true to the saying that when angels travel, the sun will shine :-)
I sorely hope so, too. A place like Manchester sure can use good
weather. (To the Mancunians out there... OK, so sue me!)


"vigilia"?
(Oh, I can't bear to see you wriggling like that. I'm way too
good-hearted.)
It is. The reason why it is, is that it is short for evening. Just as
Fri and Sat are abbreviations. So what I meant was, Friday evening or
Saturday evening. 
Oh, good grief :-)

Saw that film again last night. It's sooo good. The right blend of
comedy and romance.


 comedy and romance.
Frome the script:
                                SPIKE
                Even he.  Hey, you couldn't help me
                with an incredibly important
                decision, could you?
                                WILLIAM
                This is important in comparison to,
                let's say, whether they should
                cancel third world debt?
                                SPIKE
                That's right -- I'm at last going out
                on a date with the great Janine and I
                just want to be sure I've picked the
                right t-shirt.
                                WILLIAM
                What are the choices?
                                SPIKE
                Well... wait for it...
                        (He pulls on a t-shirt)
                First there's this one...
        The t-shirt is white with a horrible looking plastic alien
        coming out of it, jaws open, blood everywhere.  It says 'I Love
        Blood.'
                                WILLIAM
                Yes -- might make it hard to strike a
                really romantic note.
                                SPIKE
                Point taken.
        He heads back up the stairs... talks as he changes...
                                SPIKE
                I suspect you'll prefer the next one.
        And he re-enters in a white t-shirt, with a large arrow,
        pointing down to his flies, saying, 'Get It Here.'
                                SPIKE
                Cool, huh?
                                WILLIAM
                Yes -- she might think you don't have
                true love on your mind.
                                SPIKE
                Wouldn't want that...
                        (and back up he goes)
                Okay -- just one more.
        He comes down wearing it.  Lots of hearts, saying, 'You're the
        most beautiful woman in the world.'
                                WILLIAM
                Well, yes, that's perfect. Well
                done.
                                SPIKE
                Thanks.  Great.  Wish me luck.
                                WILLIAM
                Good luck.
        Spike turns and walks upstairs proudly.  Revealing that on the
        back of the t-shirt, also printed in big letters, is written
        'Fancy a fuck?'
I love that scene :)
And:
                                ANNA
                The fame thing isn't really real, you
                know.  Don't forget -- I'm also just a
                girl.  Standing in front of a boy.
                Asking him to love her.
I love that movie :)

So do I. 
"Did you find your glasses?"
"Sort of."


 I like him as an actor, but I don't go much for the hairless chest :-)
well, it seems to me he isn't able to play nothing else then the same face
the same expressions; lovely in the first comedy, nice in the second one...
"why the hell he doesn't learn playing?" during the third!
"hairless chest"? mmmm I haven't this problem ;), but... nor I agree!!!!

"why the hell he doesn't learn playing?" during the third!
er, "acting".
I don't really think he always pulls the same trick, although I'll
admit he's not the most versatile actor in the world. He played a
total shit in Bridget Jones's Diary, for instance. Loved him anyway,
lol


 total shit in Bridget Jones's Diary, for instance. Loved him anyway,
I had read both the books... too much; always the same and I got bored
before the end. I had the same feeling with the Littizzetto's book; nice to
be quoted and shown off during the Costanzo show, few more...

 I like him as an actor, but I don't go much for the hairless chest :-)
To me he's the most handsome man in the world, he's just my kind!! Have you
seen him in "The Diary of Bridget Jones"? When he first appeared on the
screen I almost had a fit!! :-)
And I love his hairless chest (though I don't dislike moderately hairy
ones!) :-)
Cinzia

 "Sort of."
WILLIAM: Is this your first film?
GIRL: No -- it's my 22nd.
WILLIAM: Of course it is.  Any favourite among the 22?
GIRL: Working with Leonardo.
WILLIAM: Da Vinci?
GIRL: Di Caprio.
WILLIAM: Of course.  And is he your favourite Italian film director?
Sbam! :)


 To me he's the most handsome man in the world, he's just my kind!!
Few knows my second Chris name is Hugh...  just in case :)))))
however, I agree as I've written above, but I'm a man... for years I've
thought a nice man could be Charles Bronson; no one woman never agreed.

seen him in "The Diary of Bridget Jones"? 
Good, this means I can have Colin Firth to myself :-)

Well, I actually looked it up after I saw the movie to find some
"interesting" :-) pictures of H. Grant in the film. But now I've remembered
it wrong, I'm sorry.
Cinzia

 it wrong, I'm sorry.
This movie is on my wanna-own list on dvd and when I'll get it I'll grab
some
pics if you want :).
Now if you want I can do something with Notting Hill :)

 Nope, ain't seen it yet! In either language.
My favourite line: "Dodge this".
Second favourite: "Not yet".
When you see it, you'll understand.
By the way, is it only an impression of mine or Keanu Reeve's English is
easier to understand than that of the average American (or English, as far
as I'm concerned) actor?
Tom Hanks' English in "Apollo 13" is somewhat too much nasal for my tastes,
for example. Now that I think of it, I suppose it was _that_ nasal because
he was trying to imitate Lowell's accent, which is what I'd call (maybe I'm
mistaken) a southener's accent (I happen to own 'Apollo 13''s audio book and
unless Lowell recorded the interview while he was smoking a cigar, he seems
to be talking without even opening the mouth).
In "You've got m@il " Hanks' accent seemed different to me.
More humanlike : )
I've also seen "the devil's advocate" in English (with subtitles, with
subtitles...) and I've found that Pacino's and Reeve's pronounces are
somewhat similar and not too much difficult to understand.
Do they share, perhaps, the same city, or area, accent?
I summon here our moviebuff to ask him if they grew up in the same State, al
least.

Peltio

And I've never been to NH. Geez, I've never been to UK :(. But I'm going to
New York in April, a lot of movie there :). I have on the dvd of "you've got

a "special trip to NY". It is a special with all the places shown in the
movie. Cool, I'll be everywhere :)

It is very clear indeed; the whole movie is very clear, dialog-wise.

Only one. The surname is Reeves, so " Reeve's " should have been " Reeves'
".
And nobody corrects me coz it a long work, too much to do :)

I had loved the agent when speaking in the first part of the movie:
"... Which is why The Matrix was redesigned to this...the peak of your
civilization."

Finish. I've been clicking too much and now I have 168 images. ^_^
There were bmp (245Mb) but now jpg (more or less 4Mb, god bless jpg).
Of course the jpg are less definited of the bmp but good enought for a
net-sharing.
Now the problem, what to do? I can zip them in groups of half a Mb and send
them to your mailbox one by one waiting your answer.
Like:
Sent one
you: received.
Sent 2
you received.
Sent 3
so on :)
I think that 500Kb is enough for a mailbox. Not so much time to download it
and no so much files to receive.
Another way is to use a chat program (like icq for example) and then I can
send it all (a big zip file) and wait the time it need to be downloaded. ^_^
You want him, you decide :).

 confusing 
Yep, really... but time and practice will help me :).
-but then so is italiano -take my word for it :-)
Nay, it is so easy ^_^.

 and no so much files to receive.
I think this way is easy but if you think that it's faster by ICQ let me
now, I have an ICQ number.
Thanks again

 now, I have an ICQ number.
