@simplerachel11 And given away for free a few years ago in a British newspaper! :)

@FlipsideFlicks what do your mean? it seems to me it is a very good movie but was underrated ! It did not recieved lots of attention at the 80s in europe?

[FlipsideFlicks]

@simplerachel11 I'm not too sure. I'd not heard of it before I'd seen it, but I'm not an expert on Swedish cinema! :)

Poor kid. First he gets his penis stuck in a bottle in front of a crowd (I don't think anyone would ever actually fall for such a dare), then he wets the bed.

What I don't understand is why his brother seems worried that his mom will find out. Usually kids will make fun of this, and so it is nice that he is being protective. But why does the older boy act like HE will get in trouble if his mom finds out his little brother wet the bed, like it was his fault? I don't get it. Lost in translation?

@astronomerjamie Different cultures I suppose :)

[foreverago0]

@astronomerjamie I think the reason that his brother tries to cover up the fact that he wet his bed is because the reason he wet his bed was because he scared him and woke him up with the rifle. Therefore it would be his fault he wet the bed. Also, yest there is a difference in cultures. I am from Romania and my parents would get mad if I accidentally spilled jelly on a rug! I would get spanked for slipping and dropping something totally by accident. Didn't make sense to me either

who the fuck sticks their dick in a bottle?

[zloidz]

@astronomerjamie cuz he loves his little bro

[astronomerjamie]

@serodehero I get that now. Just that since I knew it takes over a half minute to fully pee I did not think that is what happened in those couple seconds he was scared from the gun. Plus you would think a second after he got up he would realize he is peeing and stop and freak out, but what happens is he sort of is relived he was not really shot then starts to get up and only then realizes he was wet. Made it seem like he had peed while sleeping. Well, I totally didn't understand that right!
