meatballs

December 11th, 2005 at 19:45 (1940s)

Instead of the porterhouse steak our hero longs for he just get meatballs. So you know one thing already. The male protagonist of this movie is not a vegetarian.
The movie you can guess today for isn’t the best movie of all times. It has some funny scenes but a rather strange plot about an American woman married to an Austrian baron with lot of Nazis involved and Hitler invading country after country…as it turns out the baron is a nefarious Nazi spy who travels all over Europe with his American wife just before these countries are invaded. Which movie are we looking for?

so simple it operates itself

Today’s movie is a rather dark yet very funny movie. The male protagonist plans to murder his wife and we see him imagining three different ways to do so. But when he wants to turn his phantasies into reality he fails. He just isn’t able to operate the Simplicitas Home Recorder, that should be so simple it operates itself and that’s the crucial element in his plan of a perfect murder.

And the simplified diagram on page 6 of the user’s manual is so simple a child can use it:

If you still have no clue about the movie then maybe this picture will help you…captured just before our protagonist fills in the last name of his wife.

The director later said in his memoirs about this movie, that was a flop at its time, “The audiences laughed from the beginning to the end of the picture. And they went home with nothing. Because nothing had happened.
Still no clue? Then be vulgar, by all means, but let me hear that brazen laugh!
