Okay, I've lived long enough to know that ANYTHING can happen. So although I have no memory of ingesting ANY hallucinogenic or psychotropic substances prior to kicking back and watching my newly-obtained bootleg copy of BBM over the ironing tonight, I have to concede that perhaps it happened.
See I decided to turn the volume waaay down (son in bed asleep didn't really need to be awoken by some hot n heavy 2nd tent scene action) and switch on the subtitles. Also to see if my copy shed any further light on the c'mere, c'mere / s'alright x 3 debates. Forgetting, of course, that my copy (which was given to me by a Qld Police Officer no less!
) came from the shores of Malaysia, where its granted they may have some difficulty in their grasp of the English language, not to mention dodgy hearing.
I'm glad I have seen Brokeback and know it by heart, cause otherwise I fear these subtitles may have lead me a tad astray! Check it out:
The lines (so far - haven't even watched the whole film yet)
range from the bad:
LINE: Your folks just stop at Ennis? / Del Mar
SUBTITLE: Folks are here? / Balmore
LINE: You pair deuces lookin for work I suggest you get your scrawny asses in here pronto..
SUBTITLE: You pay look for work I suggest you get your scrawny asses in your pronto

SUBTITLE: Thought I've to fix it from the smear

LINE: Only thing, don't ever order soup
SUBTITLE: Only thing.. your man will order soup
