Brokeback Through The Looking Glass (the Malaysian subtitles thread)
Sheyne:
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! ;D) 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
LINE: Thought I'd asphyxiate from the smell
SUBTITLE: Thought I've to fix it from the smear
LINE: ..unless you wanna sit around tyin knots all day..
SUBTITLE: I'll get this one and see around town, that's all
To the WAAAY off-topic and incorrect:
LINE: Beats workin for my old man..
SUBTITLE: he used to work for my old man
LINE: So why didn't we get the powdered milk and the spuds?
SUBTITLE: Yes, why don't we get a pail of milk on the spot?
LINE: What if Aguirre finds out, hunh?
SUBTITLE: What if Gary finds out, huh? (gary??) ???
LINE: Spend half the night checkin for damn coyotes..
SUBTITLE: Spent happy nite and checking for damn Kyle (kyle?!?!!?) ??? ???
LINE: I am pretty good with a can opener though..
SUBTITLE: I'm am pretty good with a canoe though (uuhhh.. good) :-\
To the somewhat prophetic:
LINE: Tomorrow mornin we'll truck you up to the jump off
SUBTITLE: My man will check you out at the jump off (i'll bet he will... binoculars an all)
LINE: Only thing, don't ever order soup
SUBTITLE: Only thing.. your man will order soup :-*
LINE: I'm commutin 4 hours a day
SUBTITLE: I can meet you for hours a day (we wish.. we also wish for it to be filmed..)
LINE: Aguirre's got no right makin me do this.
SUBTITLE: Gay's not rite to make me do this

Sheyne:
Forgot these doozies:
LINE: Said my uncle didn't die after all.. says bring em down
SUBTITLE: said my uncle went died, says you bring him down (WTF?!?!)
LINE: You boys sure found a way to make the time pass up there..
SUBTITLE: You boys should find a way to make a turn pass up up you (see above)
LINE: Twist your uncle Harolds in the hospital with pneumonia
SUBTITLE: you uncle is in hospital of ammonia (let this be a lesson to you - cleaning is BAD)
LINE: i'm gonna go up to the sheep now..
SUBTITLE: I'm going outta this sh*t now..
Chanterais:
This. Is. Awesome.
Funniest thing I've read in a long time. With my whole heart and aching belly, I thank you, Sheyne.
Becky:
I am literally rolling on the floor no! I think my sister has just rung a mental hospital, so if you don't hear from me for a while you'll know the men in white coats have come and taken me away! ;D
