2)"Did you like the new Harry Potter movie?" asked Maria. "No," answered Sharon. "They couldn't include all the details that were in the book because then the movie would be too long. A lot of the characterization and subext was lost in translation."
3)I really liked Lost in Translation. And if you didn't, your opinion can't possibly be worth anything, you must be an idiot or a philistine. No, I didn't just imagine the subtext, it's there and it's very moving!

vanity fair
A place characterized by frivolity, excessive display of how fancy this place is, and pretentious.
It comes from the the book Pilgrim's Progress, where there was a fair in a town called Vanity. Later on, there was a book called Vanity Fair, and that's when it became a common term.

I got invited to a party at my friend Martha's house. You know, the rich girl who's related to the queen? Anyway, the party was a vanity fair.
What movie should we see? I'm thinking of seeing Vanity Fair. It's based on a novel I had to read in high school.

cartoon network
A channel on TV devoted to showing animated shows. During the day these shows are aimed at children. Later on you get a slightly older crowd and a lot of anime. Starting at 11 each night (except Fridays) you have adult swim, which is a block of programming devoted to animated shows targeted at the 14+ category.
Cartoon Network is a pretty good channel. It is better than Nickelodean (though I still think Nick's good) and adult swim is the best.

After this commercial break, we'll give you the 411 on the hip new singer, Bangle.
Where can I get the 411 on Katherine? She's totally cute, I want to get to know her better.
The newspaper gave me the 411 on the bombings. Now I know what really happened.
