Great movie from the rather twisted mind of Quentin Tarrantino. SS Oberststurmbannfuher Hans Landa, aka Christoph Waltz is a great actor inded- and fluent in German, French, Italian and English.. A real [censored - come on man!] tale plot line- Tarrantino painted the role of "The poison dwarf- aka Josef Goebbles correctly- a womanizing sociopath who pulled one of the greatest con jobs on Dem Deutscher Volk--Der Fuchs!!
Let me clarify that for you Ted-- savate, as practiced by Jean Claude Van Dam- utilizes your feet in self defense scenario--when your wife plants her foot with a solid thrust right into a attackers family jewels- that is savate, or fighting with the feet, as well as hands, elbows, other techniques used to discourage the predators who look to prey upon decent folks.

Huh. Not sure why it would occur to me to use my feet, when there is a .357 stuck in my waistband.
Whatever works, I guess.
Best, Ted

A couple of observations: -- bad French is awful and bad French jokes are doubly awful. Son was bullied in HS because of his French heritage and I have difficulty abiding abuse. -- The "Poisoned Dwarf" was not Joseph Goebbels: It was Nicolai Ivanovich Yezhov, who had Mikhail Tukhachevsky beaten before he fired a small caliber bullet into his head among thousands of others and was ultimately executed by Stalin.
The only thing I dislike more than really bad humor is false history.
False history? Humm! Sorry your son was bullied in HS because of his French ancestry, for some reason the French were bullied by the Brits-- "Frogs" and "Snail Eaters" were a few of the more common nicknames bestowed by the Limeys-etc. I believe I used the term "The Poison Dwarf" in regarding Josef Gobbles, Hitler's propaganda minister, and NOT "The Poisoned Dwarf", as you noted. I'll do some more research and report back to you what I discover. I am sure Herr Gobbles was bullied in school, as he was born with a club foot, and was short in stature, as well as a clever scheming psychopath. Le Reynard..
Je accord, mon ami. check out a copy of the LOndon Daily telegraph Jan. 8th 2011-article on Herr Gobbles by Alan Hall. He refers to Joseph as "The Nazi Casanova" and also used the term I believe is valid for this evil midget- The Poison Dwarf, so I shall stand by my correct usuage of that sobriquet, si vous plait!!.. Le Reynard!!
