Swedish seems to be pretty close to german. At least I heard from different sources that learning swedish isn't too hard for a guy who already speaks german.

I suppose. I think German is generally a bit closer to Scandinavian languages than Dutch.

Yeah. I know sometimes the subbing is also shit, but at least I can hear it then and laugh at the terrible job someone did translating it.
But sometimes it's more like *face palm*

True true. Occasionally I see a translation of which I wonder if the translator even understands the language, or the film for that matter.

Furthermore, phrases like "What an asshole!" have lead to plenty of creative and hilarious translations in the subtitles :p
Original: "He's a dirty motherfucker!"
Translation: "He isn't a very nice person."
XD

"Wat een geitenbreier!"

Seen it happen in several cartoons. I believe it was/is kinda hip to change the soundtrack from Japanese cartoons to something more... American if it's ever broadcasted on TV for children. This can sometimes just set an entirely different mood for a scene.
Well, if they replace shitty J-Pop with something else I have nothing against it.

Yes, but not every Japanese cartoon has shitty J-pop with a techno beat as a soundtrack :p And even then, it probably still beats shitty American 80's rock music for this purporse.

Yeah! They taught me how to double jump :D
They also taught me that doors are unbreakable, no matter how big your weapons are!

And eating a magical green mushrooms allows you to jump into lava pits, get crushed, get spiked etc. without dying. You'll just reappear brand new.

As long as it's not romantic comedies I'm open for anything.
How about Mulholland Drive? I cannot imagine watching this while reading subtitles. It's hard enough to follow the movie without reading subs. Let alone understanding the movie (I gave that up a long time ago ^^)

Heh, I actually did watch that one with subtitles and it was fine in my opinion. But I agree, the film is very confusing. Perhaps subtitles actually help a bit as they show you exactly what is important and what isn't (no distracting random mumbling at the background).

Lol!

We call our SBS6 the "camping channel", I suppose it's a similar set-up as your RTL.
"SBS 6 is de familiezender van Nederland met veel amusement, topseries, films, sport en (show) nieuws uit binnen-en buitenland."

"family station", sounds like "shitties station ever broadcasting" to me. ^^

Yeah family station which has a stupid news program that often highlights stuff like ducks getting saved by a group of children and a bunch of old folks complaining about a new sidewalk. Furthermore they got programs like "Camping Life" (which I suppose is where it has gotten its nickname from) and crappy 'Hollands Got Talent' shows.

I guess they're mostly aiming for the older audiences.

Also, you do have your own RTL in Holland, right?

Yep. We have RTL 4, RTL 5 and RTL7. They're alright in my opinion. RTL 4 has some nice programs from time to time.

It looks like they haven't included his horrible pain pace yet.
Amazing how he never even twitches a single muscle in his face while turning around the machete.

And how he laughs it away with "This? This is nothing."

Oh but the artificial laughter is in the original show as well, and plenty of sitcom shows use it so I'm kinda used to it by now (even though I don't like it much either).
I always thought it was real laughter in the original series. After all you can sometimes see the characters standing around doing nothing, while they wait for the laughter to die down.

Naah, I'm pretty sure they use a tape for that too. At least, the laughter pretty much always sounds the same so I doubt it's real. And yes, they usually wait for a second or two and stand still until the artificial laughter dies down. I guess it's supposed to trick you into thinking they're acting in front of an audience.

Do they sometimes also yell "WHOOOOOO" in the German version when Al Bundy or any of the other characters come in?

Anyway, it's one of the main things I dislike about sitcoms. Artificial laughter. In every one of those shows you can really distuingish a pattern of:
-Character A makes remark
-Character B says something witty
-*Artifical laughter for 2 seconds*
-Repeat former steps for 15 minutes

Though I do think Married with Children is an alright show. At least the jokes are sometimes actually funny in my opinion.

Anyway I think Peg needs to sound more whiney, like she does in the original ("but AAAAHAAAAAAAAL") :p
Oh, she does sound pretty whiney from time to time. ^^

Less whiney than in the original. She's constantly whinig there.

Lol, I can imagine. I thought one thing was that he kept talking to them but they couldn't really understand him.
Yeah, it's kinda dumb to get that young soldier (forgot his name, the guy who wants to carry around his typewriter at the beginning of the movie) to translate for them if they all speak german in the first place.

Lol yeah :p

They should've thought of a solution for that. Maybe a horrible German accent?

Heinrich then?
Heinrich is good. After all there where a few Kaisers named Heinrich.

Und Wilhelm?

I thought they were mostly named Wilhelm.

Trust I can not feel, only pain
And my burning mind has gone insane
Ok, I guess that covers it. No need to repeat the first and second verse here. ^^
Also, kinda odd to sing "Violent Revolution" while there are riots in England. Maybe they started rioting because of that song? :/

Yeah it's kinda applicable now to what happens in England.

I'm not under the impression that employees of (fast food) restaurants know all that much about the food they're selling.
Yeah, I'm sure corporate tells them how to assemble it and doesn't mention about quality or what's really in it. Put lunch meat A on Bread slice B. Add condiment K and place Bread slice A on top.

Yep, that's what I would guess. It's not that they really NEED to know I suppose, but it would be nice if they could tell their customers what they are serving.

Hopefully! As long as they don't make an effort to improve the technology I'm staying away from those films as much as I can.

It's sad how my cinema is trying to rip off people by selling gold memberships now. "For only 6 euros a month extra you can visit all the 3D films you want without extra charge." (that's on top of the regular membership).
I hope most people will realise that they'll need to visit FIVE 3D films per month to get profit out of this deal, and that there is usually only one worth seeing at most anyway. Heck, there are hardly five 3D films screening right now and it's fucking blockbuster season.

Oh yeah, I wonder how that will work out. I know some people who have a 3D TV now, but they still need to watch with those silly glasses and if you only got one pair of them...
Sony had to cut the prices on the 3DTV's. I guess they're not selling well.

Good. Please let the 3D gimmick die until companies finally come up with decent technology for it.

Hmm like find a site that offers it and I can play it on my PC?
Pretty much.

I suppose I could look for that. Though I'd be a bit worried that it will be slightly different from the original (the translations and all). I'm a purist when it comes to that.

I've never beaten it or anything and never owned it either. But a friend of mine had it and we used to play it often.
You could try beating it then. :P

I suppose I could, but I've played plenty of Mario in my younger days. I'd rather go for something else I think.

Can't remember exactly, but I thought he was fairly possitive about the battle system and the ability learning system. Of course the dress spheres are weird, but leveling them up was alright.
Oh yeah, that's it now. He did say the battle system was interesting and immediately commented on the Sphere Grid.

Yeah, that it was way better than the Sphere Grid. I don't know, the Sphere Grid actually didn't seem all that bad to me, but I never played FFX so I can't really tell. What appealed to me was that you could set up your characters in any way you like. That freedom is sometimes missing in Final Fantasy games.

Fuck. So it's like Dragonheart for you then?
That's how it goes.

So... am I right to assume that in real life you sound just like Sean Connery?

Hell, try thinking of five films worth watching from this year and five more for next year. Well, 2012 does have a few things to offer such as The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit (Part 1) and Pixar's Brave is looking good. I'm not quite sure about the Spider-Man reboot just yet but I'll at least give it a shot. The Avengers is another maybe so that makes it... FIVE!

I actually liked the Sphere Grid system. It combined the skill learning with stat increasing in one shot. Sure, navigation could be better but it was the best way to max your stats. Some games like FFVII and FFVIII made stat maxing tedious. Sure, getting 255 for luck in FFX is tedious as hell but at least the others are easy to reach.

That's how it goes.

Yeah. I know sometimes the subbing is also shit, but at least I can hear it then and laugh at the terrible job someone did translating it.
But sometimes it's more like *face palm*
True true. Occasionally I see a translation of which I wonder if the translator even understands the language, or the film for that matter.

Yeah. Like the time when they translated the pen&paper RPG "Dungeons and Dragons" literally. Everybody was like "WTF?"

Furthermore, phrases like "What an asshole!" have lead to plenty of creative and hilarious translations in the subtitles :p
Original: "He's a dirty motherfucker!"
Translation: "He isn't a very nice person."
XD
"Wat een geitenbreier!"

Geitenbreier seems to be a pretty good word. A quick search for a translation revealed many useful translations.

Seen it happen in several cartoons. I believe it was/is kinda hip to change the soundtrack from Japanese cartoons to something more... American if it's ever broadcasted on TV for children. This can sometimes just set an entirely different mood for a scene.
Well, if they replace shitty J-Pop with something else I have nothing against it.
Yes, but not every Japanese cartoon has shitty J-pop with a techno beat as a soundtrack :p And even then, it probably still beats shitty American 80's rock music for this purporse.

Hair Metal is awesome!

Yeah! They taught me how to double jump :D
They also taught me that doors are unbreakable, no matter how big your weapons are!
And eating a magical green mushrooms allows you to jump into lava pits, get crushed, get spiked etc. without dying. You'll just reappear brand new.

And you can carry an unlimited amount of ammunition.

As long as it's not romantic comedies I'm open for anything.
How about Mulholland Drive? I cannot imagine watching this while reading subtitles. It's hard enough to follow the movie without reading subs. Let alone understanding the movie (I gave that up a long time ago ^^)
Heh, I actually did watch that one with subtitles and it was fine in my opinion. But I agree, the film is very confusing. Perhaps subtitles actually help a bit as they show you exactly what is important and what isn't (no distracting random mumbling at the background).

Distracting mumbling isn't dubbed most of the time. So, no advanage for subtitles there. :P

Lol!

We call our SBS6 the "camping channel", I suppose it's a similar set-up as your RTL.
"SBS 6 is de familiezender van Nederland met veel amusement, topseries, films, sport en (show) nieuws uit binnen-en buitenland."

"family station", sounds like "shitties station ever broadcasting" to me. ^^
Yeah family station which has a stupid news program that often highlights stuff like ducks getting saved by a group of children and a bunch of old folks complaining about a new sidewalk. Furthermore they got programs like "Camping Life" (which I suppose is where it has gotten its nickname from) and crappy 'Hollands Got Talent' shows.

"Camping Life". Hm, judging by common stereotypes, this must be an awfully succesful show. :P

I guess they're mostly aiming for the older audiences.

Also, you do have your own RTL in Holland, right?
Yep. We have RTL 4, RTL 5 and RTL7. They're alright in my opinion. RTL 4 has some nice programs from time to time.

Hm, we have RTL and RTL 2. I wonder what happened to RTL 3 and 6.
Also, RTL 2 is even worse than RTL.

It looks like they haven't included his horrible pain pace yet.
Amazing how he never even twitches a single muscle in his face while turning around the machete.
And how he laughs it away with "This? This is nothing."

"It's not even a flesh wound!"

Oh but the artificial laughter is in the original show as well, and plenty of sitcom shows use it so I'm kinda used to it by now (even though I don't like it much either).
I always thought it was real laughter in the original series. After all you can sometimes see the characters standing around doing nothing, while they wait for the laughter to die down.
Naah, I'm pretty sure they use a tape for that too. At least, the laughter pretty much always sounds the same so I doubt it's real. And yes, they usually wait for a second or two and stand still until the artificial laughter dies down. I guess it's supposed to trick you into thinking they're acting in front of an audience.

I did a google search on this, and all I found was someone saying it was taped in front of a real audience.
M*A*S*H originally had a laughing track as well. They took it out in the geman dub. And for the DVD release they included the option to watch it in english without the laughing track. This is really nice.

Do they sometimes also yell "WHOOOOOO" in the German version when Al Bundy or any of the other characters come in?

Sometimes? All the fucking time! Especially with Al.

Anyway, it's one of the main things I dislike about sitcoms. Artificial laughter. In every one of those shows you can really distuingish a pattern of:
-Character A makes remark
-Character B says something witty
-*Artifical laughter for 2 seconds*
-Repeat former steps for 15 minutes

Which is why I almost never watch sitcoms.

Though I do think Married with Children is an alright show. At least the jokes are sometimes actually funny in my opinion.

Yeah, and they are so different. The exact opposite of Bill Cosby.

Anyway I think Peg needs to sound more whiney, like she does in the original ("but AAAAHAAAAAAAAL") :p
Oh, she does sound pretty whiney from time to time. ^^
Less whiney than in the original. She's constantly whinig there.

I'm not too experienced with the original. All I can say is, she's whiney in the dubbed version as well.

They should've thought of a solution for that. Maybe a horrible German accent?

Doesn't make much sense either.

Heinrich then?
Heinrich is good. After all there where a few Kaisers named Heinrich.
Und Wilhelm?
I thought they were mostly named Wilhelm.

Wilhelm II. was the last german Kaiser.

It sure did.

Yes, but I already own that. :P
Oh, nevermind then. What about The Sound of Perseverance?

I guess Spiritual Healing will be the next album I get.

He should ragequit!
And this stupid blue dragon... oh, wait!
No Haggard, we're talking about those above me. Wait, don't you mean WavyGravy who used to call himself BahamutReborn?

When I said "above you" I actually didn't mean just you, but "you" in a broader sense. Like in "everyone". So, you are above me in XP rankings. So I should hate you for that. :P

Well, at least we're remembering this adorable dragon.
I can't decide if Grisu is more adorable or the Bubble Bobble dragons.
Just cuddle them all.

I don't know. Do dragons like being cuddled?

Oh man, almost reaching character limit with this post again. Characters remaining: 23

And now I know why I still had some characters left. Somehow the links I posted to my Clock Day Movies aren't there anymore. :(

So, here they are again:

I actually put some effort into the first one. It still looks shitty, though.

Review both of them and I'll respond to the reviews. ;)
