Clockwork Orange :hi:

People let's gloozin talk plock Clock work Orange qaz?

Come and get one in the yarbles, if you got any yarbles ya eunic jellybell! :violent2:

Your humble narrator viddied a real horrorshow picture this evenings, where these vecks were tolchocking this malenky droog who was creeching at the tip-top of his voz. Gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh, like silver wine flowing in a spaceship or rarest spun heaven metal!

Last night I went to the cine trying to make up my rassodocks about something to viddie with weepy young devotchkas all lying about, drinking their vino and having a bit of the old "in-out" with the help. I was struck about the gulliver by an old droog of mine who made for my yarbles. :D

sorry to break up the flow here, but did you know that the droogs are actually speaking bastardized russian? i discovered this as when i read the book i was in second-year high school russian. after about three or four pages of extreme confusion i realized, holy sh*t!, it's rooskii!

Yep, I found that out when I read Vincent LoBrutto's biog of Stanley K. There's a LOT more of that in the actual novel itself (almost caused me a headache when I first started reading it).

i don't know how someone who doesn't understand basic russian could read the book, frankly, without being very, very confused! since i understood all the words i got a kick out of it. brilliant.

I got the hang of it after a while. I had the similar initial problem with "Trainspotting" when I really DID have a headache after the first ten pages. After a while, it becomes pretty evident what they're talking about, but at first glance it's a different story...

What have you got back home to play your fuzzy warbles on?

Could be worse. Could be bastardized ukrainian, which sounds hilarious.

took me a while to figure it out while reading the book, but it flowed perfectly by the end. then i had to stop using the words in essays in high school. but this last year in a russian history class, i was surprised how many words i could guess based on nadsat.

So which do you prefer, the book where Alex reforms or the film, where Alex goes back to his nasty ways?

The film ending. While the book ending is more realistic as far as Alex growing up goes, I prefer the film's implication that people don't change. The end of the film is much nastier anyway, which makes it so much better.

Agreed, the movie ending is more in keeping with the spirit of the first half, when Alex is as nasty as all hell. While the book ending is good, I think it would've taken a lot away from the overall film and maybe even cheapened it with the "happy" ending.
