I liked "recline" better. And having a Swedish ancestor, I feel ashamed that the only word I know in Swedish is Swerige. Oh, and Volvo of course.

Nothing to be ashamed of. (it's Sverige, btw)
I bet you know Abba and IKEA too. And smörgåsbord, and ombudsman.
So, there you are, 6 words!! ;D

Let me see if I know my ancient people's properly - the Swedes were at one time the Gothic tribes called Suevi weren't they?

I've never heard about the Suevi, had to look them up. It doesn't seem that they had anything at all to do with Sweden.
Where in Sweden is your ancestor from?

I just got back from seeing the movie tonight.
I can't figure out why Colin Firth didn't win the Oscar last night. There was an even better acting performance out there? Really?? I mean, I'm sure Jeff Bridges is good in Crazy Heart (haven't seen it) but surely Colin's performance is in a league of it's own. He really owned the character, he was jaw-droppingly good, WOW!
Gosh, I was crying right as the movie started, the accident scene and then the phone call. He should have gotten an oscar for that scene alone. I made me think of another devastating phone scene, Ennis talking to Lureen.
What a fantastic movie, the actors, the colours and design, the music (reminded me of Almodovar's movies). Such effort and care and clear love for the story.
I hope Tom Ford has lots more favorite books he wants to turn into movies.
