WWF Raw
Now, if you're reading the English-language version of this
book, you probably instantly recognized the chapter title
“WWF Raw” from the wildly popular American TV series
Wasabi with Fries Raw
(though in Germany, it's called
Weinerschnitzel Mit Fischrogen Raw
, and in Spain, it's called
simply
Lucha Falsa
, which translated literally means “Lunch
Feet”). Anyway, it's been a tradition of mine, going back
about 50 topics or so, to name the chapters after a movie
title, song title, or TV show, and while “WWF Raw” may not
be the ideal name for a chapter on Camera Raw essentials,
it's certainly better than my second choice, “Raw Meat”
(named after the 1972 movie starring Donald Pleasence. The
sequel,
Steak Tartare
, was released straight to DVD in 1976,
nearly 20 years before DVDs were even invented, which is
quite remarkable for a movie whose French version wound
up being called
Boeuf Gâté Dans la Toilette
, with French
actor Jean-Pierre Pommes Frites playing the lead role of
Marcel, the dog-faced boy). Anyway, finding movies, TV
shows, and song titles with the word “raw” in them isn't as
easy as it looks, and since this topic has not one, not two,
not three, but…well, yes, actually it has three chapters on
Camera Raw, I'm going to have to do some serious research
to come up with something that tops “WWF Raw,” but isn't
“Raw Meat,” and doesn't use the same name I used back
in the CS4 edition of this topic, which was “Raw Deal”
(from the 1986 movie starring California Governor Arnold
from
Happy Days
. See, that was a vague reference to the
guy who played the diner owner in the '70s sitcom
Happy
Days
, starring Harrison Ford and Marlon Brando). But
what I really can't wait for is to see how the people who
do the foreign translations of my topics translate this intro.
C'est magnifique, amigos!
