May 23rd: weekend fallout

[ posted by mcdeviltoast ]
Day 249

Lazy day of blog catch-up and not eating. In order to realign my gestation pattern, I would only eat when I became hungry instead of eating because it was time. It worked. I listened to Jenn's radio show, unpacked, gathered stuff to ship back to the states.

I rode out to the post office, suffered the damnable stares and clerks touching my shippables (not out of official duty, but curiosity). It was a fairly packed box, with many Chinglish shirts for the 80's tribute. I went to Shishan Lu in hopes that they would have Episode III, but no dice. I found a Stephen Chow film called "Tricky Brains," took a chance on it. Also picked up the latest animated feature from the director who did "Spirited Away."

Mike, Heather and I went to the tree dumpling place for dinner, then Heather and I watched my new purchases (the cartoon had English subtitles from a Dolph Lundgren film called "Detention" and matched up so well, we didn't notice until after a half hour. It wasn't until the f-word was dropped a hundred times in a minute that we realized.) We burned a mosquito coil, giggled away at the accidental entertainment subtitle mash-up, slipped away into nocturnality.

(Found this post by searching for 'Chinglish subtitles' - a current obsession of mine, heh.)

For some reason, bootleggers seem to use the subtitles from 'Detention' a *lot*. Don't ask me why.

Here's another example of it - and I posted a comment there with links to three *other* examples...
