sorry german crew but i have watched a bit of german tv and its pretty shit

one of the few things we can be proud of here in the uk is our tv which is QUITE COOL

if you ever visit the uk you need to watch it a bit

im a latchkey kid [translation: my parents worked until after 6 pm..i had to make my own fun after school which generally involved the tv]

@Emma
What German TV stations have you watched?I must agree that many, many are shit. Last week we had two James Bond movies at the same time. That’s really a big mismanagement from the TV stations. Sometimes there are 3 or 4 god movies at the same time and sometimes none and i hate the fucking commercial breaks, so I am prefering the non-private stations for looking movies. But unfortunateley the good movies in the non-private stations are too late in the night.

yeah german tv sucks most time. the only thing what you can watch is arte and some special shows. (n.e.r.d. live with ray cookes as moderator....he´s getting old)
(the only thing i´ve seen in britain was psychic tv lol)
the report about the sms was really stupid. they showed only those plasticravers. but i don´t like big raves and this looked really like a stupid amusement park.

the most stupid sentence was something like:"...and the utilities for hash smokers have much developed."
and they said it like it was techno´s fault.

yeah, german tv sucks bigtime,but australian tv is even worse.

i claim that watching english cartoons as a little boy, helped me picking up the english language quite easily later in school. it kinda ingrained subconsciously...at least i hope so.

deccard

19th October 2002, 10:53

i think watching movies in the original language still helps a lot as a grown up to learn the language.

aleks

19th October 2002, 11:00

of course... and they are way better than the dubbed versions.

as for australian tv, i forgot the only good thing is steve irwin the crocodile hunter...he rocks lol

19th October 2002, 11:10

dead man walking is really an exceptional movie. i didn´t understand a word of those texan (gelaber) talk. their dialect implied that they must live on a separated island and must have gone their own evolutional way :)

i wish i could receive German TV in the UK...i have watched only one film in German (pi - the movie) and it was fantastic! It is not a german movie. I am trying to learn German, and I don't hear enough speaking...i read and read all the time, but this doesn't help me master the language.

Some english tv is mind-numbing rubbish, written for the vegetation and control of adults, slowly turning their brains to a jelly, programming them with acceptable social norms, feeding the propoganda of the times to the masses. Soaps feed the gossip mongers hunger for nosy knowledge of other folks intimacies...it's a nose-bag of social sickness. (imo) turn on-tune in-cop out.

I sometimes watch tv - the last thing i watched was BBC2 learning zone - history of electronic music - and then some info progs on databases ... *g*

Ich wünsche ich könnte Deutscher TV im uk erhalten. ich habe nur eins film auf Deutsch sehen (pi - das Film) und es war supa! Es ist nicht ein Deutschen Film. Ich versuche Deutsch zu erlernen, und Ich höre nicht genug .... ich lese und lese allen Zeit, aber es hilft mich nicht dieses Sprache verstehen.

Wenn ich mehr Deutsche höre, dann werde ich mehr Deutsche reden!

why you wanna learn german? if i would be an ausländer lol
i wouldn´t learn german. not many people speak german in our world.
but your german is good anyway.
btw you can get german translated movies with some filesharing progs or certain binary newsgroups...
one of the better original german movies is das experiment.

jukka

19th October 2002, 11:47

when i was young we didn't have cable tv. only 4 channels and later 6...so i didn't watch too much tv.
i nearly know none of the old cartoons which was (when i was little) a shame sometimes.

hmm - gutes frage, deccard, ich will Göethe auf deutsch zu lesen ;) ich liebe Literatur von allen Lände. Meine Eltern wohnten eins in Deutchland mit beide von ihren Mutti und Vati, wann sie Jung (15) wären, und sie haben ein natürlichen freude von alle dings deutsch. Ich rate sie haben dies mir geben *G* ich machte ein Große Plan, Deutschland zu besuchen, und auch österreich... ich wünsche über die Bergen im Sommer zu wandern....dort himmel und frisch Luft zu finden? :D

yes! i think both english and german are beautiful languages....all languages are beautiful...even cantonese, which some find harsh on the ear, but i heard spoken around me for 4 years, and i like it alot, even though i can't understand it.

im a fan of the german language...........

i have a friend returning home to freiberg at end Novembre....

he will bring me back some german vhs movies, i just have to tell him what i want!

so i asked him for a copy of das experiment (which he says is very good)

can u recommend others? films i like are avant-garde, intelligent thrillers/mystery/ science fiction, and contemporary (but not extrem violence - am too sensitive to watch those)

anatomie? what's that about?

(oh yeah - i don't want to watch porn either *hrhr* - not enough speaking in them for me ;) )

wheezer

19th October 2002, 14:46

too bad you said not too violent, otherwise I would've said "funny games", although that is austrian, it is one of the most thrilling movies I've ever seen...

jukka

19th October 2002, 14:53

yeah this movie is great....but it is really a bit violent.

invisibleplanet

19th October 2002, 15:02

hmm - extrem violence for me is the rape scene in Kubrick's Clockwork Orange.

I can handle 'normal' violence such as the violence in Pulp Fiction, or the Violence in Trainspotting, or Resevoir Dogs, however, as i seek to hear German in order that i might dare to speak it, i feel myself that i should watch films with good dialogue :)

wheezer

19th October 2002, 15:08

well I dunno, I've seen a lot more violent movies in terms of what you actually see, but this is one of those rare cases where the way the story is told just runs shivers down my spine... ok, I did watch the thing on acid in a movie theater the first time around so I may be a bit biased...

invisibleplanet

19th October 2002, 16:05

*rofl*

ok - i check 'funny games' out also
u all convinced me ;)

invisibleplanet

19th October 2002, 16:07

what about some 'gurly' type films....
like 'amelie', but made by germans/austrians ??

aleks

19th October 2002, 16:10

i think there are none...but you can watch all the films on german anyway.
i recommend manta manta as well...

ohh,i dont really know where to find! I think its not available at commercial video stores. But that/this film won a newcomer award in Badenwürtenberg so I think its not a problem to get it via Indernet.
...and I tell you mate that/this film has nothing to do with art...its just a crazy peace of shit for me.great--->can somebody reply?anybody saw this one?

sms is great. i was there for the third time this year, and i really enjoyed it everytime. it's not like over big raves like nature one or so. they always had a great musicselection

and plasticravers are everythere i'd say, thats something we have to live with, haven't we

deccard

20th October 2002, 16:01

the musicselection might be ok but i prefer clubs or smaller open airs.
...but that funboatstuff seemed really strange.
it really looked very commercial for me. i can only compare that to the fusionfestival close to berlin which is more my taste.
less expensive and shows more heart for art and music.

the corect term for scharf is"sharp"

...........means so, a döner is sharp.with lots of pepper or other.......

hmm more like hot/spicy in this context, a sharp döner sounds a bit weird, though not as a weird as a spicy vogel lol

Last evening I’ve seen a new “Tatort”!
Tatort is a German criminal movie with typical German characters. Kind of funny sometimes, because the commissioners are funny and very own.

22nd October 2002, 22:57

nothing to spend money for though. i don't even know if theres videos/dvds to buy out there.

23rd October 2002, 18:05

you have to see '23'. one of the best german movies i've ever seen. it's about karl koch, the first german hacker who does hacks for the KGB and went paranoid by the illiminatus. it tooks place at the wonderful city 'Hannover'. :)

when we speak of german TV, we have to speak of crime-movies. we've got a long tradition here. things like 'schimanski', 'derrick' and 'tatort'. the privat stations have also a lot of crime, but they're not that good. fluffy stories and lot's of 2nd class action.
i also like 'stubbe'. it's not so fucked up, but they have good actors and also very tensioning stories.

another goood movie is "das leben ist eine baustelle"

23rd October 2002, 18:28

Sorry my German is practically non-existent, but you're kidding aren't you?

By döner do you mean Donor Kebab - as in a nan or pitta bread with meat and chillis and salad in it... and there's a club in Germany with a shop behind the dancefloor - that's crazy...
