Same Procedure

“Dinner for One” is now available nonexclusively here at Radio Free Mike, and an explanation for you philistines who have never heard of it — in England, America, or even Berlin — is on Spiegel Online.

UPDATE: Lego version is here

  3. I watched it for the first time last year, but only because everyone I know kept going on at me about it: “What?!!! You’ve been living here all these years and you’ve never seen “Dinner for One”?” Somehow they managed to give me the impression that I was missing out on some amazing event. Turns out I wasn’t.

  4. Well, so far the film is 0 for 2 with British viewers.

  5. I just about manage to squeeze out a tiny titter once or twice for the sake of decency. The wink at the end makes me want to commit genocide.

  6. I know me too. On balance, BiB, I’d say your vote makes it 0 for 3.

  7. There’s no accounting for taste. Seems to me that’s the loose translation of a German phrase, but that part of my brain is falling into disrepair.

    The Brits are to the German response to this as Americans are to the German response to David Hasselhoff.

  8. I’d like to see David Hasselhoff star in a “Dinner for One” revival.

  9. You haven’t seen the videos his kids shot of him drunk as fuck? He’s there already…

  10. That’s what made me think of it. I just want to see Hasselhoff dressed as a butler.
