I watched the film several times, but only synchronized to German. FWIW I also dislike if native German speakers don't speak "good" German, OTOH I read a lot of German Linux howtos written in "disgusting" German, but those howtos still where very useful. I prefer howtos that are "good" and written in "disgusting" German over howtos that are technically disgusting, but written in perfect German. > > Happy new Year! > > And to you, too.
