The Last Movie You Watched

[Rev. Rye]

True, the performances may have been more natural, but the lip-sync still seemed to be way off. I probably should have said I was specifically talking about the lip-sync being equally bad in Russian. Sadly, it's been over two hours, so I can't edit the post to reflect that.

Hey, I watched that guardians movie in Russian, with English subtitles.
Their voices seemed natural enough.
The subtitles, however, were hilarious because they looked like the translator did a literal Russian to English translation, word by word, instead of adding all the important bits that make proper English sentences.

Translation is always tricky.  There's a story (possibly apocryphal) that an early translation software during the Cold War when given the English phrase 'Out of sight, out of mind', translated it into the Russian phrase, 'Invisible insanity'.

Just watched "Breakdown" the other night, staring Kurt Russel. Good thriller.

She's an alien who tries to seduce men so she can consume them. Lather, rinse, repeat a couple times before she has a change of heart and tries to become human (by eating a cake, which her body rejects.) Eventually, she gets raped by a logger who discovers her true form and burns it with fire.

I didn't see it that way at all.

Yeah, and that weird opening scene? That's the alien assuming human form (focusing on her eye) and learning how to speak.

Yeah, being programmed. She never ate in the movie. You see the bit "under the skin" of the men being channeled to ... somewhere.

And in the novel, they're being taken to her home planet to be farmed and fattened up for their food, called voddissin.

I doubt I would've paid to see this in theaters, but it really wasn't too bad for a Netflix jaunt.
Dude seals himself inside his house as instructed due to toxic ash containing an "unknown virulent", and leaves his woman to fend for herself outside.

Lol...He offers plenty of emotional support though.

Doesn't come across in the movie.
