Weekend Television

I don't subscribe to cable television so my choice of what to watch on lazy Sunday afternoons is limited to the creativity of our local program schedulers. So here's what i watched today.

"I do, let's eat"
Interesting documentary about the different kinds of food served during wedding parties. Today's episode features a wedding between a Russian man and a Jewish woman, the interesting part is that a Rabbi was actually hired to "supervise" the entire cooking process. Every single food item has to pass thru his hands and anything that does not pass his strict standards are immediately destroyed. By destroyed i mean plates are smashed, food is thrown away and all. Meats cannot be mixed, and must be free of veins or any trace of blood. Everything is bought from religiously certified suppliers and even the utensils have to be inspected by the Rabbi. It turned out well as everyone seemed to enjoy the food very much and the chef even gone on the record to say, "I can sleep well tonight!".

Some Classic Indian Movie
Movie about the people's struggle against a ruthless army chief. The wacky subtitles managed to keep me watching for about half an hour. Here's a sample.

Evil Army Chief : "Apologise to me if you want me to spare your life!"

Man : "Sorry, i will not apologise!"

(Evil Army Chief duely takes out his pistol and shoots the poor bastard)

Police Sergeant : "Sir, the people are gathered outside the palace and are about to agitate!"

Police Officer : "Get your men to stop the agitation!"

(Quickly Sergeant! Before the King gets agitated by the agitating crowd!)

Male lead : "Go on! Shoot us! The bullet will go thru our bodies and our blood will mix with this mud!"
