Joakim, want weird? Try the old Pippi Longsticking movies dubbed into English. Some of the worst dubbing ever.

Ed, the old live "action" Swedish ones? I only remember the tv-series, but it make sense that they'd have made a movie (or even edited together a movie).

Apropos... Ed peaked my curiousity now. What Swedish movies, tv-series and literature (if any at all) are you guys and gals familiar with? I mean, I know that we have some stuff making it out into the world, and it's always fun to hear what's known where.

Arc, I'm in New York and in fact, Pardo's was by my job and I walked by it every day for years on my way to work in the morning. Never went, though. The problem with working in the Village is that I wanted to get out of the Village as quickly as possible at night.

Last time I was in New York was 9 years ago but I was mosly in Manhattan.
So would you say it is dangerous at nights?

Not at all! The problem with Manhattan seems to be the rep it got during the 60s, 70s and 80s. True, its not 100% safe; nothing ever is. But there are fewer and fewer areas of Manhattan that don't have lots of people at all hours at night. One just should always take heed of their surroundings.

Joakim,
"Let the Right One In" is a film has been making waves with people lately.
I like Ingmar Bergman a lot.
But yes, I was referring to the live action Pippi films; they used to broadcast them here on TV in the 70s. It's this one with Inger Nilsson. I read the Pippi books as a kid too. I loved them.

Ed: Oh, I didn't mean Manhattan, after all I had fun there. What I meant is, well, you say you would have the need to get out of the Village at night. So, is the Village dangerous?

Arc, the Village is part of Manhattan. The reason i wanted to get out at night isn't because it was dangerous but because I was sick of being there all day. :)

And a really good one it is. Based of course on this (also Swedish).
More Ed:
"I like Ingmar Bergman a lot."
Me too. Though I've still a lot to see. His latter day stuff gets a bit dreary and long running, mind you, I feel.
And Ed again:
"But yes, I was referring to the live action Pippi films; they used to broadcast them here on TV in the 70s. It's this one with Inger Nilsson. I read the Pippi books as a kid too. I loved them."
Inger Nilsson was the girl who played Pippi in the TV-show as well (it might be that those movies are edited together from the TV show, not sure about that).
So was Pippi the only Astrid Lindgren books you read... and enjoyed?
My personal favourites are Mio min Mio (Mio, My Son), Bröderna Lejonhjärta (The Brothers Lionheart) and Ronja Rövardotter (Ronia, the Robber's Daughter).

Incidentally, I was surprised to see this, on many levels.
First because the title is o so wrong, since the -n at the end actually is the Swedish equivalent of the definite article "the". Secondly, because a "tomte" (of this sort, at least) is a gnome, whereas a blurb on the back side speaks of a troll called Tomten.
And nowhere does it say that this is actually an adaptation of Swedish writer Viktor Rydberg's classic poem "Tomten".

I love Astrid Lindgren! I used to love the Pippi books. Also read several of the Emil series. I remember reading one of the books in the Emil series that described how you made blood pudding. I don't think I could try it.
