WARNING: SPOILERS!

bunniewabbit told me to post this here...maybe someone can help?




Translation please? Thank you!

I have a friend who spends time answering problems for fun.

I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be suprised if he was talking about Robert Schneider, from Apples In Stereo =)

thank you, both Angel's for this!!

Yep, my thought exactly. Mr. Schneider claims to have had a mystical experience with numbers! Interesting fellow.

ahh... a man after my own heart! \o/

thanks so much for the article and the translation ladies.

danke! "I believe in fate" - hmmm. I believe in fate as well but I also believe we choose our own fate - however there is a plan for all of us that God sees. I like the "I don't believe that science has the answer to everything." part :nods:

Well, i can try to translate, but i think there are ppl better in french than me.^^ Thanks for the translation!

Like maddeningpadme i also think that our live is ruled partly by fate and by our will as well.

A hasty translation of the first para as far as "Guillermo Martinez".

Sorry folks, but that's all I have time for at the moment! :-)

Thanks so much for that! Great translation. A bit spoilery, though. I've read the book so I don't mind at all, but some other people are trying to avoid spoilers. Maybe I'll suggest to Angel that she post a spoilers warning.

[angelwood.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Lyra! I never would have known that the article contained spoilers had you not made time for this. *smooches*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_celebrian/]

Thanks Angel. :-)

Based on Lyrastar's partial translation, it sounds like the article contains spoilers, so you might want to note that in the entry and warn people trying to avoid spoilers about reading any translations including those in the comments.

[angelwood.livejournal.com]

Done! =) Thanks...

Having read it, I think that that is the worst and only serious spoiler in the article.

I knew that "smoking" was a Dinner Jacket/Tux but I never knew that bow tie was "noeud papillon". You learn something everyday. It's kind of cute (papillon = butterfly).

Thanks for the article!

Thanks very much for the translation - Elijah and I have something in common... ;D (see the first paragraph)

I knew John Hurt's character looked like Guy Fawkes in those pics, and this explains why!

I'm *so* looking forward to this film, it feels like it's *our* movie :)
