Good grief! Rama's the only one here who maintains recent memory of Big Trouble in Little China?! It was both Kurt Russell and Kim Cattral's greatest accomplishment!

Kim Cattrall's biggest accomplishment was, and still is, Sex and the City

And Kurt Russell's biggest accomplishment was, and still is, ~~Tango and Cash~~ Goldie Hawn.

John Rambo survivor of countless excursions behind enemy lines, winner of the congressional medal of honor, kiled for vagrancy in Jerkwater USA.

I have the other Rambos in my queue and afterwards it's on to Rockys. Still on the fence about adding Rocky V though.

Right now I have Some Kind of Wonderful on a loop in the background. Think I'm up to my third viewing right now.

Still can't believe First Blood was based on a Book. Rambo just doesn't seem a very "novel" character.

Still can't believe he died in the book.

I can't believe True Blood was based on a book.

Sometimes the TV show is better.

Imagine I'm singing this. If you need me to I'll fucking record this:

Don't do it.

Seconded. But Balboa was pretty OK.

Fiero · « **Reply #610 on:** Jan 15, 2010, 10:34:42 PM »

Balboa was great. I suggest forgetting that V exists and going straight to Balboa after IV. But what about 20 years in between them.

Rocky gets shot into space and has many fun adventures all the while trying to find his way back to earth. There...all done.

Yeah, that seemed to be the gist of what I've always heard: ignore V and go to the last one. I probably will.

OT - I also watched "The Wedding Banquet", directed by Ang Lee about a gay Chinese-American who tries to fake out his parents with his white partner and an illegal immigrant friend. This seemed to be one of those movies that didn't know what sort of emotion it was supposed to evoke.

And then there's the weirdly titled "I Do: How to Get Married and Stay Single", which is a French movie called Prête-moi ta main but has been translated to everything from "Faux Wedding", "I Do", "Rent a Wife", and "Lend me your hand". This was actually a cute, funny movie but I see a lot of people missing out on this because the title's kinda piss-poor for what this film's about. Swinging middle-aged guy with meddling sisters and mama wants to evade their marriage-making efforts. He gets a friend's sister, who needs the money so she can adopt a child, to pose as his fiancée and shit hits the fan. You all know how this is gonna end, but it's a nice ride there.

Ha ha, you remind of this duder I used to chat with who'd always get drunk half the time. He still managed decent sentences tho'.

The direct translation should be "Lend me your hand". I hate when they translate movies' names and they totally fucked up with the title. Happens in spanish aaaall the time. I go to Peru and they ask me "So did you see X movie" and im like "what??? wtf is that" and then after they explain me what the movie was about I'm like "aaaaahhh"

B E C K · « **Reply #620 on:** Jan 18, 2010, 04:43:44 PM »

Yeah, "Lend me your hand" was appropriate enough. It worked in English: "lend me a hand" as in to help someone out with something and "lend me your hand in marriage", because, well, that's what happens. The other titles aren't appropriate given what occurs in the film. I don't know who they cater to when they change around titles like that. The people these title changes generally cater to don't generally watch foreign films. I mean "Pan's Labyrinth"? Pan isn't even in the thing. Bendito Infierno was changed to both Sin Noticias de Dios and "Don't Tempt Me". Blah.

Wait so what was Pan's labyrinth real movie name?

Fiero · « **Reply #623 on:** Jan 18, 2010, 09:48:57 PM »

"El Laberinto del Fauno" or, "The Labryinth of the Faun.' So its not far off, they justed used a specific Faun.
