The Interspectional Language

While it is perfectly acceptable to say "Hans Gruber" when you meet a German for the first time as a greeting, you can also say "Merry Poppin" to any Englishman and it will be smiled upon also.  Ricky speaks the international language very well.  But what does all this mean exactly.  That a mere perfuctory glance at a Jane Austen movie doesn't give any critic the ability to speak ill of said movie.  But here's the reality.  Movies based on Jane Austen's work are, for the most part, decent.  Movies about Jane Austen's work or even Jane Austen herself are  in their entirety, perfectly stupid.  I'm still waiting for a accurate movie based on her real, not made up, autobiography:  ""Dickens is my nickname:  The Life and Times of Jane "Dickens" Austen"".
