luym Brazil	Hey guys, Have you seen this movie? I love Elvis and I thought it was very nice to see Stitch impersonating him. Very cute! But just for those who are fond of animated films… Lu.

luym Brazil	Ahah, don’t worry about them. But have you seen this “minority report”? It hasn’t been launched in Brazil yet. (is it correct to say to launch a movie?) Regards, Lu.

elbeto United States	People will understand you if you say a movie has been launched. The most common way to say it is “released”, as in “Minority Report was released last weekend.” Hope that helps!

thewackyguy Brazil	I havent seen minority report yet but a friend of mine talked me into seeing Lilo and Stitch, and I thought it was not bad :) I wouldn’t compare it with Shrek for example which I thought was way better than Lilo & Stitch but it’s a good movie.. The funny thing was that when I went to see it, the movie theater was packed with little children who would laugh and clap along with songs, so if you’re not the kind of person who enjoys that, wait for it on video :)

luym Brazil	Hello 95700, I used the verb “impersonate” because I wanted to say that Stitch was copying Elvis’ clothes and dance style. He was copying Elvis, so he was impersonating him. It’s a transitive verb. The noun for the act of impersonating someone is the impersonation and the person who impersonates is the impersonator. Your second option “stitch have being impersonated by someone” is not correct, because Stich was the one who was copying Elvis. So Stitch was not being copied by someone. Hope this helps. Lu.

seaocean Taiwan	I go by you guys’ compliments on the movie. I saw it three times in the theater. It’s such a great and touching movie, isn’t it? I even bought a Stitch doll the other day. It can speak alien just as it does in the movie and as well as English. It’s so cute. If you like Stitch, maybe you can check out those dolls in the mall. It reminds me a lot of the movie. What’s your favorite in the movie? I love the line “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind”. I went to Hawaii this January and visited my friend. He taught me some Hawaiian. So, when I heard “Ohana” in the theather, all the flashback just came around me along with the clean, beautiful ocean in the movie. In addition, I was so touched by the scene that Lilo was appealing to the God to have a true and wonderful friend when Stitch was arriving at Earth on the red patrol cruise, which was mistaken as a shooting star by Lilo. Do you guys love this scene also? By the way, the soundtrack is awesome. I even copied one to put in my car so that I can listen to it and sing along both at home and in the car. Anyhow, I’m so happy there are so many guys out there like me loving this movie. Have a nice day~ Gary from Taiwan ^_
