Submit Trivia and Error Correction
« Thread Started on Jun 2, 2007, 2:57pm »
This thread is for the staff and readers to submit any trivia/stories/facts about movies we've covered, and any errors in the review pages themselves. As I update the pages, the relevant posts will be deleted.

How about translating "Bei mir bist du schön" as "To Me You're Beautiful"?

The lyrics of the song (sung by the Andrews sisters) are...

Bei mir bist du schoen, please let me explain
Bei mir bist du schoen means you're grand
Bei mir bist du schoen, again I'll explain
It means you're the fairest in the land

listen to some swing, man.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I kinda feel like a major freak-geek for doing this, but the Mallrats quote on the front page is wrong today.

It's "just a guy in a suit" not "just a guy in a cheap suit." Don't judge me.

I do, but missed the lyrics. Oops. I stand corrected.

Er wait, so in the trivia it's just the lyrics of the song? I'm confused too, because bei mir bist du schön is "with me you're beautiful." Not to nitpick.

(Also, schoen isn't a German word. :P )

The song was originally sung in Yiddish, and then became famous with English lyrics but using the German title "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen", the Anglicised spelling of German "Bei mir bist Du schön"; this translates to "With me you're beautiful", which makes little sense in either English or German.

Either way, the Didja Notice section of the review said "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen means you're grand", because those are the lyrics of the song.

I'd like to say before anyone else points it out...

The Ingman (Correct: Ingmar) Bergman spelling mistake on the front page is my fault and not Justin's (this time ;)). I apparently had a typo on the blog I didn't catch (but is now fixed).

*SHAME*

On the Finding Nemo mutant viewing it says "Mutant Viewing: Futurama" in the header on the top of the browser.
Geez, Justin, way to use an older page as a template, lazy! ;)

Please PM me if there is someone who you would like me to dedicate a mile to. Thanks!

The contact information under Al's Clone Wars review is.....Justin's! 'Twas an awesome review though, so I can understand anyone wanting to claim it as their own. :)

That's because Justin is really the only person running the site, and 'you all' are just his multiple personalities.

The mutant meter on Justin's "Lost Room" review is all zeroes.

Unless that's intentional, of course...
