Have any of you, C&H readers, ever acquired a foreign film? I recall once planning on getting Chinese film One-Man Olympics which was the story of the first Chinese Olympian who, by himself, went to the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, but the DVD region isn’t compatible with the U.S.
What is Calvin looking at? It isn’t a phone or a tablet. It isn’t even a laptop. No, it can’t be! I think it could be a long rumored and whispered about but never seen object of legend! I think he is holding a paper TV Guide! Someone call the Smithsonian!
We had a cynical, sharp-tongued kid in HS who thought he was sooooo intellectually superior because he watched only foreign films (early 60s). He became quite tedious.

All this does is remind me of how freakin’ hard it is to watch Kamen Rider in America

Could also be two tiny clay animation monsters. Equally entertaining.

In Australia there is a national broadcaster dedicated to multiculturalism, that airs films in their original language (with subtitles of course)

How accessible they are depends on whether you’re dealing with the NTSC or PAL format.

I have vivid memory of Giant Robot fighting the rogues in Japan. My kids call it kind of fossil robots.
