Lost In Translation

1)When something is translated into another language, and sometimes translated back into the original language, and because of differences of the languages some of the original meaning is lost.

2)Whenever someone re-does something in a new medium (for instance, a movie based on a book) and, due to differances between the mediums, some details and the original meaning is not present.

3)A movie that came out in 2003.
1)See larstait's post for a good example.

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!

Futurama

An animated show that was cancelled by FOX and moved to Adult Swim that is for some reason always compared to Family Guy (because they're fighting for time slots on Adult Swim) and The Simpsons (because they were created by the same guy).

the passion of the christ

A controversial movie directed by Mel Gibson that came out in 2004. It is about the last twelve hours of Jesus Christ's life.
This shows the different views on this movie:

Christian Guy: Did you see The Passion Of The Christ? I loved it, was uplifting and now I love God more than ever.

Not-Religious Guy: I hated it, it was too bloody.

Aethiest: I didn't like it because it's just stupid Christians scaring children into being Christian.

Guy Who Does Not Exist: I'm pretty nuetral about the movie.

spring break

A small vacation where you don't have school for a week in Spring, usually in March or April.

Spring Break is famouse because high schoolers and people in college often use this time to go to someplace warm (such as Florida or Cancun) and go wild and crazy, with lots of sex and beer.
Marie was greatful for a break from college. She went to the beach for Spring Break, and ended up getting drunk and having sex.

Robby was greatful from a break from 6th grade. He went to his house for Spring Break and ended up playing playing video games the entire week.

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.
