I’ve spent my whole Saturday, minus some lunch, putzing around with my spreadsheet, manually adding the country of origin and Original Version languages. When I got to June, I realized I forgot to log one of the Star Trek movies I saw over the summer so now my pie chart<\/a> is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IMDB lists the country of origin as every country where funding came from. For example, Zoolander<\/a><\/em> showed up as “Germany and USA”, because they took some cash from MFP Munich Film Partners GmbH. It most emphatically is not a “German movie.” Howards End<\/a><\/em> is also listed as “Japanese”, I assume for a similar reason, even though it is very clearly and thoroughly British. I have taken some liberties in my spreadsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Language” is a similar thing and silent films are considered to have no language. Hello? They are filled with written words. In the case of Atlantis<\/a><\/em>, the cards were written in both Danish and English (German Amazon Video wrote a modern German translation over the English words; thanks for nothin’, guys). The only truly “no language” film I saw last year was Farmageddon<\/a><\/em>…and it wasn’t really. The signs and labels were in German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still trying to tease out how many different countries are represented, how many movies I saw in Original Version, why do I think Finnish movies are Norwegian, but Danish movies are Swedish…. Oh, sure, I can manually count all these things, but I’d rather hack through it with formulas so I can prove to myself that I still can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun thing from my dataset: Movies listed as being US movies, with no other countries throwing in money, have a lot of different languages in them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
