Dalty oriented himself.
His girlfriend did the opposite. Purely by Occident.
She said she could breathe better, despite the fog.

I wasn't sure if the last line's "oxidant" pun would play, but I went for it, anyway.

Can I also point out the 'I' in aluminium and that herb starts with an 'H'. Thank you. I will leave the 'rel' in squirrel for another day.

Maybe not where his movie viewing habits are concerned. I continue to be disappointed by his apparent unwillingness to embrace his baby's mother's cinematic cultural heritage.The Swollen Goiter of God wrote:Dalty oriented himself.

Re: 2016 Olympics Dump
I have seen many Vietnamese films. Returning to Viet cinema is always under duress.
I have, however, observed Mrs Dalty watching many hooky Hollywood blockbusters on her iPad, within days of their cinematic release in the US. They have Viet subtitles. Does that count?

Re: 2016 Olympics Dump
Tell me more about the many Vietnamese movies you've seen. What are some of your favorites? Do you recognize any thematic through lines? Which genres do you think the Vietnamese do well or poorly? Do you have a favorite period? How would you describe the Vietnamese acting style in comparison to the various styles employed by the stars of the West? What are some of your favored Vietnamese actors' names? Which of their pictures would you recommend to a stranger to Vietnamese cinema?
Is one of the problems that you'd already seen all of the movies your baby's mother wanted you to watch?

Re: 2016 Olympics Dump
Thematic through lines always appear to be people finding love across classes. They appear to do action poorly. They don't appear to have budget to do period pieces much and Mrs Dalty doesn't like "old" films. Acting style is soap opera. Diem My appears several times so I recognise her. "How To Fight In Six Inch Heels" is an undemanding rom-com to serve as an intro.

I can only assume your deep fascination with Vietnamese cinema factored into your choice of mate.

Is there a Vietnamese Olympic Team? Are there particular sports at which they excel?
