DVD's - an updated list

Jul 03, 2005 00:42

I was having a conversation with Tracy about my DVD's the other day, and I was shocked! to realize that I couldn't remember my top 5 dvd's any longer. So I had to look at a list I made almost a year ago (Aug 22 of last year in fact) and decided to update it now to reflect my spending and viewing habits of the past year. Without further ado....( Read more... )

"Adieu" is from the French "a dieu", "to God", shortened from "I commend you to God", "a dieu vous commant". Dieu derives from Latin deum, the accusative form of deus.

"Ado" on the other hand is the compounded form of "at do", a grammatical form which comes from old Scandinavian languages.

One comes from Old French via Latin, the other comes from Old Norse.

I repeat again for all the confused kids out there, it is not only nonsense to say "without further adieu", but it is not what Shakespeare wrote, and it is CERTAINLY not a valid alternative spelling of "without further ado".

wag the dog, blue velvet, being john malcovich, and sadly, about a boy, are all some of my favorites. some of those are just terrible, jon, and for that I admire you. Sky Captain was baaaaaaaaaaad in a bad way. About Schmidt and Death to Smoochy I desperately need to see. Lately, I rent lots of crap, I don't know why I can't stop.
