A Month of Ill-Fated Consumer Products #10: Esperanto


One day some guy realized that Europeans seemed to be having a hard time understanding each other's jibber jabber, so he made up some other, different jibber jabber that they could supposedly understand easier. It never really caught on. Why Europeans have to talk all fancy instead of just saying it like we do here in America is beyond me, but I suspect it has something to do with decadent effeminacy and intellectual frou frou. By the way: William Shatner.

RATING: Fiku vin%

Metropolis

#81 on Glenn's Top 100 Movie List

Uh oh, I might be almost totally blowing my foreign films wad right here in the second installment of my top 100 movies. Whoops! I never claimed to have any authority or multiculturalism. Anyway, this movie's great, everybody knows it, even 80 years later. Also, there's totally nudity in it just in case you thought that maybe in the twenties women didn't have nipples like I used to think.

RATING: 84%
