Hello folks!

I just want to comments something I saw in some clips of this movie. I haven't seen it all but in this movie we see Elizabeth Reaser try to speak norwegian. (Im trying to write english,pardon Razzer )Well, I don't understand a word she's saying. Pretty strange sense Im norwegian myself. I've heared that this movie was subtitled in Norway when they spoked norwegian. And her name is Inge? To inform you, Inge is not a girlsname, its a boysname! And the other one had the name Olaf, well Olaf is not a regular name in Norway, don't think anyone under the age of 60 got that name. I hope nowone in other countries think norwegian sounds like that. Remember X-files, in one episode someone tries to speak norwegian. Don't even close! And this character had the name Olafsson, once again Olaf, why does that name show up everywhere? I know it's a last name, but in Norway we usually got the ending Olafssen, with an E!!!O is used in our neighbour country Sweden. In Norway we actually got around 90% english names in the population,like Christian, Roger, Kevin, David, Sebastian, John, Eric, Johnny, Jim, Richard, Frank, and blablabla. Also in The Thing, you know the classic John Carpenter movie with Kurt Russell. Not norwegian I tell you! If the directors researched a little, you would hear real norwegian!!
