I have no clue what this means. I feel like the foreign kid who talks funny.

@Benedick: I’m pretty sure I do know what this means, and I’m surrounded by people with funny accents. Coincidence?

@Capt Howdy: Perhaps if they can’t pass the test they have to watch the movie?

@Mistress Cynica: I’m so like duh?

@Benedick:

What else is new?

ADD: Okay, that sounded a little mean. Just teasing you, Limey. You know how deep my affection for you runs.

@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches: You made me cry. I hope you’re happy.

I was really extremely impressed by Hostel. Or at any rate, what I saw of it from behind the sofa. And let’s not forget the Broadway version of Singin’ in the Rain. It took me weeks to get over that.
