I made it to the cinema for the first time in ... nearly a year?

Saw the newest Indiana Jones Movie. Scared the flatmates with the ammount of information I can recall about the Trilogy. Think translation ('Matt? Wie Schach-Matt?' 'Hurah Eisenhower'? Argh) in addition to Georg Lucas dialoge reduced my enjoyment of the movie a quite bit. Loved it anyway.

Now back to waiting for colleague S to call with a plan for the evening. If he doesn't I might have to make something up myself because staying in on Eurovision night can only end in pain.

Actually, his character is called Mutt (Köter). It's a nickname he picked for himself, just like his dad :D Also, "Hurah Eisenhower" is a terrible translation of "I like Ike"! And I thought Lucas dialogue couldn't get any worse!

Also, what are you doing seeing dubbed movies when there's a movie theater in Berlin that shows nothing but OV?

I thought Indy would be the best movie to choose for being social and watching with the colleagues in German. It's Indiana Jones, how much dialogue can there be to mangle?
Oh, how wrong I was. No idea how I forgot Lucas involvment in the franchise, but I did.
And translated Lucas dialogue is so terribly bad. I didn't believe for a long time that Anakin's sand dialogue in Attack of the clones was just as bad in English, because how could it be???

The "Hurah Eisenhower" bit was the worst I think, because not only was it terribly translated, only a few minutes later the original phrase was painted on the atomic bomb and showed anyone with a basic knowledge of English what the translators were trying to translate. It *hurt* to watch that. The Mutt bit only annoyed those of us who had more than a fleeting recollection of the Last Crusade. And why care about those silly people when dubbing a movie, right?

I really had forgotten why I stopped reading and watching the translations at some point. This reminded me of the reason. Argh.
