The weirdest subtitles ever...

So I downloaded (I know, bad...) 27 Dresses and watched it tonight. I don't know who wrote the subtitles, but the word "tapeworm" was all over the subtitles. It was so weird!rofl.gif

 

Kevin: "What the hell are you looking at me like that for?"

Subtitle: "For which you watch devils thus to me?"

 

and my personal favorite:

Tess: "Mom was my age, you know. Almost to the day."

Subtite: "Mother tapeworm my age. Wise people"

What in the world is that about?

 

I've seen weird subtitles on live shows. When closed caption was new we thought it was so cool so we'd just watch shows with it on to be like "ohh look their are words." One time we were watching the country music awards & someone must have had to type the lyrics as the artist sang. Not sure why they didn't just get the lyrics before. I can't remember what they typed but it was something we laughed about for years.

 

story for the letdown to that story. You'll just have to trust me it was funny.

OMG. Tonight we were watching the news and they kept screwing up the video with the stories... we were laughing so hard when the news anchor was talking about some awful disaster and they cued this video of people dressed as Vulcans (as in Star Trek), on a float in some town...

 

I have no idea how the anchor kept her composure. She didn't miss a beat. I would have been pissing myself laughing.

It was sad though because she was talking about people in crisis.

 

I really really want to know what the subtitlist thought "tapeworm" meant. He/She seemed to be using it almost interchangeably with "mother" in the movie.

I think that the subtitler was Spanish, because once in a while the subtitles would just have Spanish words instead of English.

 

It looked as though someone was writing as the movie was happening, you know like in the news where sometimes it's just aweful, because it's live?

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
