Overheard conversations

[malsperanza]

So, last month I was in Milan, visiting friends, and I wasin the big FNAC on via Torino, buying DVDs that can't be found in the US Roberto Benigni reading and explaining Dante; and yay all of Nanni Moretti's movies have finally been reissued). And behind me I hear a twentysomething guy say to his buddy, "Ma no, quella schifezza blu no." Which translates as Oh no, not that blue crap. The tone of distain pleased me almost as much as the fact that I knew exactly what movie he was referring to.

That blue crap; yep.
