has anyone else ever wondered about the fact
that the category "foreign" movie is not only viable but apparently an acceptable one? the only thing "foreign" movies seem to have in common is the fact that i'm going to be reading subtitles. couldn't someone come up with something slightly more descriptive? just curious.

*haha* well, here, almost all movies are "foreign", it's actually so common that we refer to Swedish film as just Swedeish and not by genre...
So, a guy on Fresh Air was just making a deal of this... apparently, the category (for the oscars, at least) is "foreign language film" because there is an Israeli film that everyone thought would get an Oscar nod, but its mostly in English, so it didn't qualify!
