I love all things Irish... when I visited Ireland in the 80´s I had the impression I could settle for good, because it felt like home to such a degree! But I digress...

Yesterday I watched VG before bed, and remembered something related to this thread: there´s an Easter Egg in the DVD that may go unnoticed... if you own it, just go to side B, select the Special Features menu and then place your mouse/select with your remote the pic on the upper right, featuring the pink shirt with the little hearts pattern. Click on these multicolored hearts...at least three of them give you access to a crash course in Valspeak... Enjoy your foreign language first lesson!

love the translation mara! my dad is a bizarre fusion. he's a texas irishman by way of cananda. from 15-20 he was a merchant marine. he could tell nic some stories :). he's seen all of nic's movies now, but he looks different in a lot of them, so he doesn't realize it's nic. he just says, "who's that guy, he's a great actor" his favorites are honeymoon in vegas (i spent a chunk of my childhood there, vacations a couple of times a year) and lord of war because "i love russians. anyone who makes vodka is a-okay by me". this statement can apply to just about all alcoholic beverages. italians and wine, french and champagne, etc. you can take the man out of ireland, but you can't take the irish out of the man. LOL

Oom · Soon to be retired blabbermouth

Your poor dad Randy! Amazing what morphine can do to a person...........LOL!

Oh and Mara............I LOVE this translator site................What a hoot!

Oh Randy your dad rocks! You should invite him to join the forum, he would learn a thing or two about Nic´s movies and we would gain a wonderful friend...

And he´s ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about Valspeak. Please tell him that this foreign language even has its own dictionary to translate difficult expressions into plain English. Here´s proof:

This is a link which will translate any website into Valspeak for you. Imagine how much more, like, tripendicular fun we would have out of the news if only we could get them in Valspeak?

Here´s a sample:

Countrywide's Mozilo charged with fraud. Like barf out.

The tripendicular Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday filed securities fraud charges against former Countrywide Chief Executive Angelo Mozilo and two other former executives. Grody to the max.The trio is like totally being charged with deliberately misleading investors about the significant credit risk Countrywide took to like, build and maintain its market share, CNNMoney.com reports.

Randy, sorry to hear your dad had to undergo surgery, but on the other hand I´m glad he´s doing fine... You sound a devoted daughter. Encouraging hugs!

randy4sure · "Simplicity at its finest"

ROTFWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i needed that mara, thanks :) i don't have time to post today, but the coincidence is quite funny as i made my dad watch valley girl last night. he's trapped in a hospital bed, so he had to watch what i put in. his surgery was a great success. will post more later. he had some funny, morphine induced comments on nic, whom he knows i adore. gotta go back to the hospital now that all the pies are made. that floor was cold and not good for sleep. but he's doing great, so i am over the moon!
still and always a daddy's girl,

This piece of news is dedicated to our very own Randy: maybe they´ll be casting someone who can dance on top of a table and yell, ahem, you know what? That´d be tripendicular, like totally!

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Valley Girl," the 1983 cult comedy, is being reimagined as a musical feature, and Broadway director Jason Moore has signed to helm the movie.

The original film starred Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman in a romance that bridged the '80s punk scene and suburban San Fernando Valley culture. Martha Coolidge directed, from a script by Wayne Crawford and Andrew Lane

Amy Talkington's updated screenplay for the MGM project revamps the story as a "Romeo and Juliet"-inspired musical built around the first movie's New Wave soundtrack (think Modern English, Sparks and the Psychedelic Furs).

The '80s archeology is part of MGM's strategy to repackage classic catalog titles for new audiences in novel ways. The first product of this effort, "Fame," dances into theaters Sept. 25. "Red Dawn," "RoboCop," "Poltergeist" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" are in development at the studio.

Moore has directed episodes of "One Tree Hill," "Everwood" and "Brothers & Sisters." He directed the $24 million Broadway production of "Shrek: The Musical," which is nominated for eight Tony Awards including best musical and won the 2009 Drama Desk Award for outstanding musical.

He also has directed "Steel Magnolias" and "Avenue Q" on Broadway. "Valley Girl" will be his feature debut.

Talkington was a music writer before becoming a filmmaker. She wrote and directed the independent comedy "The Night of the White Pants" and adapted "The Devil in the Junior League" for Fox 2000.
