Lived in East Germany right after reunification and the people there were clearly still paranoid about what the Stasi might see them doing. It was fun walking around small cities and having people whisper behind our backs that we were the CIA (we, uh, weren't).

I'm not surprised; I've read some of them. Quoting from memory: "Subject went for a walk and stopped at a sausage-seller's. Subject had mustard, but no saurkraut. Subject walked back to his apartment, eating the sausage."

We had a mixed west German/east German crew and this was right after the wall had come down. There was a lot of resentment flowing in both directions, and the folks from the east just hated this woman. Artie, my line producer, and I were afraid we'd arrive at the studio some morning and find her murdered.

I think the writers did an admirable job of incorporating grown-up themes while still keeping the movie kid friendly. And I thought I was the only one who liked Shrek 3.
