My Danish DVD of <em>Haevnen<\/em> (the original title, meaning &#8220;Revenge&#8221;) came with subtitles in Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian&#8230; obviously not much of a MovieNight audience magnet. I managed to find great subtitles in English (I only had to change one line; it seemed to me that &#8220;Put down I.V.&#8221; must have really been &#8220;Put her on I.V.&#8221;. I hope I did the right thing. In any case, after 3 days of trying to create a new DVD with English subtitles produced less than ideal results, I decided that the only thing to do was project from the computer with the new subtitles being previewed. (Should I have consulted Igor?).<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Bier had been on <em>Fresh Air<\/em> with Terry Gross earlier in the afternoon, talking about <em>In a Better World<\/em>, so the pressure was on, to show her movie in the best quality available. Aside from a couple of momentary audio source selection screw-ups (I think the house forgave me&#8230;?) the screening was absolutely beautiful and captivating. Love, love, love.<\/p>\n<p>What with all this DVD processing and fricking around, I forgot to further test the Bloody Marytini, and was caught off guard when one of last week&#8217;s early adapters requested one. It took me several minutes to: a) remember how to make it, b) find the ingredients, c) deliver the order. I&#8217;m told that it exceeded expectations. Recipe to follow soon (he promised once more).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">More about this film on IMDb  <a title=\"IMDb\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1340107\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348\" title=\"imdb\" src=\"http:\/\/www.movienight.richardlohr.com\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/imdb.gif\" alt=\"imdb\" width=\"31\" height=\"15\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Screening Susanne Bier&#8217;s beautiful In a Better World did not come without a certain amount of stress.
