Just English. Although, for a day in the summer between 7th and 8th grade, I was apparently fluent in French. In 7th grade, I took a French class that lasted 6 weeks. School ended for the summer, and we got a wrong number calling from Quebec, I think it was. The person calling only spoke French. Mom only spoke English.
I was called in to speak with her for about 10 minutes, telling her in French what Mom wanted her to know, and translating back into English for Mom. From what the lady said, my French (for that one day--I was never able to do it again, and all the French I knew has faded over time) was flawless.
It was simply weird.
And now, a few fannish items.
Great Scenes That Are In Trailers, But Not In Movies. The one that immediately came to mind (and which someone mentioned in the comments over there) for me was the one for Highlander: Endgame, where it made Kell seem to have supernatural powers. If you want to see it, and don’t feel like searching the comments there, you can find it here.
How Pushing Daisies ends—and how it was supposed to end. Spoilers are in there somewhere.
Apparently, X-Men Origins: Wolverine has come under fire—because of Wolverine smoking. The American Medical Association Alliance wants movies that feature smoking to get an R rating, and they list Wolverine as their main example.
