We love feedback, so be sure to let us know if you like it, hate it. A hint in advance? We love the film, but Casablanca this is not.

Like have a teacher teach how to read a Chinese newspaper, Cpod can teach how to listen to Chinese movies. Good idea.

May 25, 2007, 08:00 AMWow, I had no idea what it could be... but then again, I don't know so many movie dialogs by heart. Of course best would be to see the movie at the same time, but that might be too easy ;) -Kaisa

May 25, 2007, 07:00 PMExcellent idea. I've added my own clip.

May 27, 2007, 12:08 PMInteresting idea, Bazza. I'm not sure how to split the answer out of the podcast since the recordings won't be serialized (we already did another one, which should come out this week). Maybe just keeping it out of the actual podcast and letting people guess in the comments? Then posting the answer a few days later?

May 27, 2007, 12:46 PMYeah, that would work, it would give us a few days to argue over the answer. :)
