** Star Wars Version: Chinese Whispers **

*yawn*

Top of the morning to y'all....

Nothing too exciting happening on my end...

My Week, so far:

• Worked,
• My dad is feeling better .....*yay*,
• Pondered the meaning of life,
• Found out that I have to be in Kuantan for the next 2 days... *sigh*.

In any case, here's a funny forwarded email I got from my friend May Yee that I thought I'd share with y'all (This is for all the Star Wars fans out there):

Original post:

I saw revenge of the sith last weekend at a local theater with my friend joe who was in town on business. it was much better than the first two movies and a fitting end (err.. middle) to the star wars saga. The next day I was walking past my friendly dvd salesperson and decided to check out revenge of the sith.

I was assured the quality was good and for 7rmb why not give it a shot. Aside from the counters on the top of the screen and a distorted perspective it was ok- not high quality but watchable. The captions were a hilarious surprise- a direct english translation of the chinese interpretation of what the script was saying. It varied from being somewhat close to the script to being 'far far away'....

....amazingly enough, the beginning scroll is mistranslated even though the words are right there on the screen.

....star war (just one)

....'the backstroke of the west' is the english translation of the chinese title.

....anakin: "this is where the fun begins"

....obi wan: "let them pass between us"

....obi wan, space battle strategist.

....obi wan grows impatient with r2-d2.

.....the chancellor warns anakin and obi wan that count dooku is... big.

....obi wan assures the chancellor that it's no problem.

....count dooku talks tough.

....anakin taunts general grevious.

....the general fires off a snappy comeback.

....yoda: "premonitions? premonitions?"

....anakin: "obi wan, may the force be with you"

....anakin bargains for the life of his .... cuckoldry?

...c3po tells the amorous couple to get a room.

....obi wan can't face what he must do.

....yoda insists...

....anakin tells padme about his new virtues, now being both strong and big.

....obi wan has heard enough

....i love this translation. darth vader is actually shouting, "nooooooooooooo..."

*lol*

The hazards of buying illegal DVDs.....
It's a good laugh though, for a few bucks.....
