  1. oops yes I meant We will rock you, of course personally I didn't enjoy the show, it could have been much better the only funny and entertaining thing about the show was that the main actor forgot to close his pants/zipper or whatever one calls that, and because I went watching the show with my class, you can imagine our reaction haha
  2. I've only seen three : Grease Beauty and the beast Queen
  3. lord of the flies good so far but no one knows why but I strangely have to think about the beach film while reading the book... has to be that deserted island atmosphere haha
  4. I think I'll just read all 4 books hope I'll like them
  5. Inception - Well, not 'pish', but it's not THAT amazing. Very good movie, but it doesn't warrant comparison to the likes of The Matrix, unless you're referring to the basic structure of the film and the idea of not knowing what is real and what isn't. It has no real depth, just complexity. It's a proper blockbuster. It is good though, definitely worth watching. Inception - Perfection ,too good to be real I must be dreaming
  6. okay I'll read it soon, hopefully I'll enjoy as much as you did
  7. have just found some books that I didn't know are in possession of my family Lord of the Flies- William Golding ( apparently a modern classic as it is described on the cover) The Crucible- Arthur Miller An Inspector Calls- J.B. Priestley The Warden- Anthony Trollope I also found a book (Oxford bookworms collection) with the title from the cradle to the grave it's a book about short stories by different authors as it seems I don't know whether they are known or not,but I'd like to hear your opinion if anyone read one of those
  8. INCEPTION !!! too good to be real, I must be dreaming
  9. eehm i have a lot of favourite films, but NOW AND THEN makes it to my top ten
  10. I'm reading it at the moment, personally i enjoy it a lot
  11. Sometimes.. I had to read some books about the Great War, I had to look up numerous words to understand the story and all the war scenes... how can I read a war book without knowing what a trench is? (English is not my first language) For other books, I mostly do not look the words up, but it took me some time to understand the meaning of 'wand' while reading Harry Potter for the first time in English .
  12. to be honest, i really start to like Holden, he's a really interesting character ..i really get into the book, couldn't stop reading once i started maybe the fact that i'm same aged as Holden makes the book more interesting to me, because generally i do not like slow books with only little action & the form of the book, how it is written ( conversations etc. ) makes me really enjoy reading , but i've just finished die blechtrommel ( the tin drum) by g
  13. could be but dumbledore could have sent Hagrid to me haha i definitely would have enjoyed seeing one of my sisters with a pig tail like dudley
  14. i've just started reading it today, i cannot decide whether i find it annoying or interesting, i'll see
  15. if i were an american boy, i'd join a baseball team unfortunately, i'm a girl, live in luxembourg where we don't have baseball teams...
  16. i can only recommand you those books i have to read for school currently i'm reading l'
  17. poems by sassoon and owen like anthem for doomed youth or dulce et decorum and i recently read regeneration- pat barker a long long way- sebastian barry i had to do some researches while reading the books because i knew little about the great war, especially about the situation in ireland. i also watched the regeneration film which helped me to understand the shell shock state of those soldiers ( just as the electro shock therapy) and the film about michael collins gives you a good background about what happened in ireland
  18. i am allergic to foam rubber you know these 'spaghetti' things one can swim with? i could never use them although all the other kids seemed to have so much fun ... i can tell you how jealous i was ( to be honest how jealous i AM )
  19. -i'm the youngest of 5 girls -i desperately want to study in england since ever but i'm afraid not to be accepted -when i was 11, i waited for a hogwarts letter that never arrived, how can you do this to me dumbledore..? -like every kid after seeing for example a film about singers i wanted to become a singer..now at the age of 17 i thought that i'd finally grown up..recently caught me being lost in thoughts dreaming about my future career as dancer ( i've watched street dance) embarrassing? -i hate flies, they scare me Ouu i got an autograph by ray quinn.. visited the grease musical last year and met him & other actors after the show, apparently he is 'popular' in england? hope so, would be my first autograph from a 'star'
  20. i'd love to learn swedish,spanish because it's an international language and algerian .. but i'm already struggling with those 5 languages haha but i'm 17 and it's the best time to learn as many languages as possible or?
  21. eehm pearl harbor? hahah first and last film that made me cry was a bit too scary for an about 7-year-old by then never watched it again, i think it's time for another try
  22. seeing macaulay culkin was cool, kevin mccallister all grown up :)unfortunately not nominated ...
  23. hey i thought it would be interesting to start a thread about how many languages you can speak. reading a book in its original language is much more exciting than reading a traduction( which does not mean that it is not good, i read a lot of traductions ) so here is my list: 1. Luxembourg ( i'm from luxembourg) 2. French 3. German 4. English 5. Italian ( i started learning it 2 years ago, so i'm not that fluent )
